The X-Men has always boasted a deep bench of characters, including some of Marvel’s most memorable heroes and villains. Even beyond iconic figures like Wolverine and Storm, the franchise has proven over the years to be an ideal showcase for a wide variety of perspectives and characters. One of the best has always been Nightcrawler, a heroic man of charm and faith despite his demonic appearance. While there was a lull period for the character in the second decade of the 21st century, the modern era of X-Men stories has reinforced this in the best ways possible.The Krakoa Era has been a terrific showcase for X-Men as a whole, with plenty of fan favorites and relatively obscure figures alike getting their chance in the sun since it began in 2019. Nightcrawler has had some of the most compelling plotlines of this period, showcasing how well Kurt Wagner works across various kinds of X-Men stories regardless of genre or theme. It’s a great reminder that Nightcrawler should be at the forefront of the franchise as a whole going forward — whether it is in the comics universe or other mediums like animation or film.After being killed fighting Orchis (and subsequently resurrected by the Five) in House of X, he became a member of Krakoa’s ruling Quiet Council. In this capacity, Nightcrawler was a notably moral part of the mutant nation’s government, serving as a deliberate balance to more pragmatic and ruthless characters like Mystique and Exodus. His efforts to develop a new mutant-driven religion played out in titles like Way of X and Legion of X, allowing the X-Men titles to explore weighty themes of faith and purpose in an ever-changing world. Nightcrawler was forced to reckon with the ramifications of mutant resurrection on a spiritual level, all while confronting forces that targeted the soul of the mutant nation.
