The X-Men’s resident Fuzzy Blue Elf, aka Nightcrawler, has been an eternal man of mystery. Yellow of eye and forked of tail, Nightcrawler is easily one of the most iconic members the mutant team has ever had, and yet for all his fame and popularity, there has been very little definitive information given to his origins. Fans have learned piecemeal over the years that young Kurt Wagner was driven out of his hometown due to his monstrous appearance before living in a circus, where he was then rescued by Professor X. The details that have followed Nightcrawler’s traumatic origins have become as murky as one of his BAMF clouds, and that confusion lies in part with his relationship with his mother, the mutant villain known as Mystique. With his upcoming story promising to finally lay to rest the mystery surrounding his origins, Nightcrawler will either have his relationship with Mystique strengthened or destroyed.Nightcrawler made his first appearance in 1975’s seminal Giant-Size X-Men #1 (by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum). Giant-Size X-Men #1 marked the debut of the brand-new team of mutants that were set to take up the mantle from the founding members. Among the now-famous and integral members of the X-Men, such as Storm and Wolverine, Nightcrawler quickly became a fan favorite due in part to his roguish personality and unique appearance. His mother, on the other hand, had a far less heroic debut in the Marvel Universe and only went on to prove how dangerous she truly was.Mystique made her first appearance in 1978’s Ms. Marvel #16 (by Chris Claremont and Jim Mooney). In a mere cameo, Mystique was introduced as a mysterious woman who was spying on Ms. Marvel as she raced to rescue Namorita from the villainous Tiger Shark. Mystique would later become a key player in the X-Men mythos as an ally to Magneto and a shape-shifting saboteur to the X-Men. Having such close ties to the X-Men inevitably entails a hefty dose of intrigue, so it came to pass that Mystique was actually none other than Nightcrawler’s mother.RELATED: Every Nightcrawler Origin in Marvel Comics, ExplainedRELATED: Nightcrawler and Spider-Man’s History, Explained
