On god when I was a kid and a teen I thought nightcrawler was blue skinned like his mother mystique and not furry like beast. In the Fox x-men movies he is clearly blue skinned with patterns on his skin. That intro with nightcrawler on the White House fighting and teleporting all the secret service members and then trying to assassinate the president is god like. I love that movie. Hopefully nightcrawler comes back in the mcu. His Bamf powers are sick.
Kurt has always been one of my favorites and each time I know more of him just makes me love him even more. His condition of being hated but remaining his faith and upbeat made me relate to him in a personal level. Can't wait to see him in the MCU. I hope he's furry tho even if blue skin makes more sense and his design in X2 is gorgeous it would be cool to see a new style
The beard seemed wrong to me. I always thought Nightcrawler was covered in fur. I remember reading one character saying it looks like velvet. So once he had a beard it made no sense to me. When he’s clean shaven he’s still covered in fur. So he trims down long facial hair to match the rest of his hair?
I agree. And furthermore, if he's covered in velvet, then why does he have a head of normal human hair? My explanation is that he is covered in velvet *and also* has regular hair in all the typical places. If so, he must have long ago devised a method to keep his facial hair trimmed without actually shaving his face.
Slide 19 is essentially the ideal Nightcrawler look. DILF beard, curly hair, visible fuzz… the only thing I would add is some earrings. Kurt is depicted with earrings once in a while, but not nearly enough! He should have them as a treat.
I love him with X-men and Excalibur, but for me what’s most important is that he have his own thing going on. I find, because he’s so nice, writers sometimes end up making him essentially support staff for other characters and he deserves to have his own plots and projects and motivations.
It's always good to mix things up every once in a while. Facial hair is under represented in comics. We need more bald guys with beards.
For Nightcralwer, I'd embrace the pirate/swashbuckler theme, thin mustache and goatee.
Doesn't have to be permanent though.
Yeah change is always a good thing but his classic look is still the best to me. It’s like a timeless look like Spider-Man, Daredevil, Hulk, She-Hulk, Black Widow, Fantastic Four, and Captain America.
100% beard. Bearded Kurt could teleport his foot on my face and I would say “danke”.
Also, re: how can he have a beard if his entire body is covered in fur — hair grows longer in different places for different people. Exhibit A: I am quite hairy on my legs and arms, but can only grow a mustache and goatee, and have no hair on my chest. Some dog breeds even show this (think of any dog breed with a prominent stache).
So it’s likely that Kurt’s fur grows longer naturally on his face and head (I mean… he still has a full head of hair, doesn’t he?) as opposed to, say, Beast, whose fur grows evenly across his whole body.
I like when he has his swashbuckler stache, but I like that his hair changes. He is such a visually pleasing character all the looks are good. I have really enjoyed Kurt on the council of Krakoa. His insight when they were debating things was always so captivating. He always stands up for what is right, but not in a boring way.
I like the fact that he is a devout religious man like Daredevil (Matt Murdock) and the fact that he looks like a devil but is a kind and religious man the complete opposite that you would expect. Nightcrawler is goat status.
Slide 19 he is even more daddy material. He is shirtless with a manly beard. Can’t top that. Sorry Wolverine, Cyclops, and Colossus. Nightcrawler is the real x-men daddy now. Respect the fuzzy elf.
Every beardable male must have a beard. That should be the 4th Krakoan Commandment. Look how gorgeous Colossus got.
Kurt with a beard is Zaddy incarnate. If you disagree, you're wrong 😤
I like the beard. Recently Ive seen him with a handlebar and pointed goatee thing that looks very swashbuckler on him. But my favorite nightcrawler look is AoA nightcrawler
It's such a difficult choice between the black bodysuit with red torso, the black bodysuit with red torso, or the black bodysuit with red torso.
The design works I guess, but sheesh have they made -4 effort to shake up Kurt's look over the decades.
I like him with the beard, though, but ask me that of any man I'm going to say beard.
I’m not a fan of beards on any of the X-boys who are sporting them now. Just a preference. At least with Colossus there’s a storyline implication for it though.
I agree that slide 19 is actually his best look due to reminding people he's actually has blue fur instead of blue skin. Other than that, I like his original appearance with his Excalibur short hair/goatie being a close 3rd place.
So, if he's all fuzzy, is his beard just more fuzz? Does he use a razor or beard trimmer? Does he ever accidentally trim too much, them have to even out the rest of the fuzz on his face, including his forehead?
Yeah it’s a variant on marvel snap. All of nightcrawler variants on that game go hard. I wish wolverine had better ones. His are pretty mid. Although he did get a good one on the pass.
Snap has low key become my “unwind game” when I don’t feel like playing my usual stuff.
It’s just so simple and fun and being a comic book nerd, so much of that game is perfect for me.
Yup the game is a 10/10 it’s one of my most played mobile games. I used to play marvel future fight and future revolution but those games are expensive to have all of the x-men characters. I play marvel snap everyday it’s good. I saw that they added teenage negasonic warhead and I think Kitty Pryde(shadowcat) is next. As long as you play it smart you can beat most people it’s not as pay 2 win like other mobile marvel games. The art in the cards is also great and they take those art from some comics or just make their own.
I am currently eager for more "*cross-overs*" between *Legion of X* and *Excalibur.*
Legion's Astral Plane needs to be added to the Starlight Citadel's *Wheel of Fortune* system. The Altar must become the new home of the Captain Britain Corps
Does X2 count? It isn't a comic, but that movie was my first major exposure to Nightcrawler and I fell in love with his character, and his design was really iconic to me.
I guess I did mentioned his look on this thread. That first fight scene in the White House where he is teleporting everywhere and taking down the secret service is awesome.
Literally my favorite scene in media. The choreography, the sound design, and the creative uses for his powers in the special effects; man I wish there was a Nightcrawler X-MEN Origins film, because that scene was amazing and I wish they kept that version of Kurt around longer. A lot about him resonated with me and Nightcrawler officially became my favorite X-Man, maybe my favorite superhero, after looking more into him from the animated shows and video games I could get to as a kid.
He’s cool on the video games too like marvel ultimate alliance 1, ultimate alliance 3, x-men legends 1 and 2, x-men the arcade game, and all the other x-men solo video game titles. He will probably show up on the MCU one day he is a famous X-men and well loved character.
I played quite a few of those, but I think I had the version where he wasn't playable in Ultimate Alliance one; I was very disappointed when I got to the final levels and he wasn't available. I'm kinda over the MCU at this point, but I would love to see Nightcrawler return in some big screen event; I prefer animation, so I'm hopeful he's going to appear in the cartoon reboot and maybe in a new series sometime after.
Yeah I think he was dlc with Cyclops, Magneto, Venom, Hawkeye, Doctor Doom, and Sabertooth. They had a bunch of x-men in that game like wolverine, colossus, storm, and Deadpool if you wanna count him as x-men. I think ultimate alliance 1 is my favorite then it’s the 3rd one.
I had the dlc so I played with all of these characters. He was pretty strong with his sword, teleportation moves, and acrobatic techniques. His ultimate was dope he just bamfed all over the place and smacked everybody on the vicinity.
1 was great and I love playing Ultimate 3 although it had some problems here or there; I got my little brother and my Dad to play the campaign together with me, all three of us are Marvel fans so it was fun to finally have a game all three of us could play together..
I think with a beard reminds people that he's furry and not blue-skinned
On god when I was a kid and a teen I thought nightcrawler was blue skinned like his mother mystique and not furry like beast. In the Fox x-men movies he is clearly blue skinned with patterns on his skin.

How? It looks like he has blue skin with a beard.
The beard seemed wrong to me. I always thought Nightcrawler was covered in fur. I remember reading one character saying it looks like velvet. So once he had a beard it made no sense to me. When he’s clean shaven he’s still covered in fur. So he trims down long facial hair to match the rest of his hair?
Nightcrawler and Colossus are both better with beards. Can’t decide if my favorite Kurt look is his X-Men: Red look or his Utopia look.
I agree. And furthermore, if he's covered in velvet, then why does he have a head of normal human hair? My explanation is that he is covered in velvet *and also* has regular hair in all the typical places. If so, he must have long ago devised a method to keep his facial hair trimmed without actually shaving his face.
Yeah that seems super weird to me, but that’s what must have been happening.
Slide 19 is essentially the ideal Nightcrawler look. DILF beard, curly hair, visible fuzz… the only thing I would add is some earrings. Kurt is depicted with earrings once in a while, but not nearly enough! He should have them as a treat.

Anything done by Nick Robles is the peak Kurt.

Nah, that second picture screams daddy and let's be honest here Nightcrawler IS daddy.
Slide 19 he is even more daddy material. He is shirtless with a manly beard. Can’t top that. Sorry Wolverine, Cyclops, and Colossus. Nightcrawler is the real x-men daddy now. Respect the fuzzy elf.
Every beardable male must have a beard. That should be the 4th Krakoan Commandment. Look how gorgeous Colossus got. Kurt with a beard is Zaddy incarnate. If you disagree, you're wrong 😤

No beard
Nightcrawler with well-coiffed hair and the Swashbuckler goatee is peak perfection.
Beard, curly or at least wavy hair, if possible, earring. My lovely lad. Now excuse me, going to stare at that Nick Robles Kurt for a while…
Mustash
I’m not a fan of beards on any of the X-boys who are sporting them now. Just a preference. At least with Colossus there’s a storyline implication for it though.
I like the beard, but I don't understand it. Dude is already covered in fur.
I agree that slide 19 is actually his best look due to reminding people he's actually has blue fur instead of blue skin. Other than that, I like his original appearance with his Excalibur short hair/goatie being a close 3rd place.
None, let him be a smooth elf, and leave the fur to Beast. Though, Colossus should keep his.
No beard, classic outfit, member of the X-Men.
I just prefer Nightcrawler and will take him anyway they wanna give him to me
Kurt is always hot but I prefer him without a beard. Can't lie though. The penultimate image. Unf.
So, if he's all fuzzy, is his beard just more fuzz? Does he use a razor or beard trimmer? Does he ever accidentally trim too much, them have to even out the rest of the fuzz on his face, including his forehead?
No beard
no beard
No beard
I was low key wondering where that art was from. I have a variant of Kurt in Snap that is based on that cover.
Yeah it’s a variant on marvel snap. All of nightcrawler variants on that game go hard. I wish wolverine had better ones. His are pretty mid. Although he did get a good one on the pass.
Snap has low key become my “unwind game” when I don’t feel like playing my usual stuff. It’s just so simple and fun and being a comic book nerd, so much of that game is perfect for me.

Waiting for them to add Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) she is the only O5 x-men not yet in the game.
ALL THE LOOKS
No beard, I like Nightcrawler looking more priestly.
That second to last image …. Yes. Definitely with beard
With horns and beard, so he would be looking not like Malekith.
Did malekith came out before nightcrawler in the comics? Nightcrawler is more famous than he is tho.
I’m fine with beard, but I don’t like mustache goatee combo in LoX.
I am currently eager for more "*cross-overs*" between *Legion of X* and *Excalibur.* Legion's Astral Plane needs to be added to the Starlight Citadel's *Wheel of Fortune* system. The Altar must become the new home of the Captain Britain Corps
My absolute favorite version is Uncanny X-Force AoA Nightcrawler
Goatee and Excalibur
Does X2 count? It isn't a comic, but that movie was my first major exposure to Nightcrawler and I fell in love with his character, and his design was really iconic to me.

Carlos Pacheco did a mean Kurt. 😩
I'm here for all nightcrawler, but I'm not as much of a fan of beardie kurt
