We begin our look at the people and places in Activision's upcoming RPG starring the X-Men.

Nightcrawler

Former circus performer Kurt Wagner is better known as Nightcrawler, who can teleport short distances.

Real name: Kurt Wagner
Occupation: Student, adventurer
Group affiliation: X-Men
Base of operation: Xavier Institute for Gifted Children, Salem Center, Westchester County, New York
First Appearance: Ultimate X-Men #2

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 161 lbs.
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blue

Nightcrawler is an agile and deadly addition to the X-Men's fighting roster.

History: Save for his indigo fur, Kurt Wagner resembles every bit the Western world's idealized notion of the devil: a prehensile tail that ends in a point, fanged teeth, pointed ears, three-fingered hands, and two-toed feet. But looks are deceiving...

Kurt Wagner grew up in Bavaria and spent a good deal of his youth entertaining the masses as a circus acrobat. Wagner had been captured by the Weapon X facility in India and held there against his will when the X-Men found him. The X-Men did eventually free all of Weapon X's mutant prisoners after shutting the program down. Some time later, when helping Xavier and the X-Men subvert nuclear disaster at the hands of Magneto, Kurt joined the ranks of the X-Men.

Powers: Aside from his superhuman agility, Nightcrawler has the ability to teleport in any direction in an instant--with one restriction: He must be able to see his destination. He also has the ability to blend into shadows to such a degree that he is nearly invisible to the naked eye.
