Physical Description: Nightcrawler has only 3 fingers (including an opposable thumb) on each hand, and only 2 toes, each longer than an ordinary human's, on each foot. Nightcrawler also has a prehensile tail about 3 1/2 feet long, which can carry his own weight. His body is almost entirely covered with a fine indigo-colored fur, making him so dark that he seems to blend into deep shadows. (Contrary to appearances, he does not literally turn invisible in deep shadow.) Nightcrawler also has pointed ears and pronounced fang-like canine teeth. His spine is more flexible than an ordinary human being's, allowing him to spend much of his time in a semi-crouching position without damaging his posture and enables him to perform contortionist-like feats.

Place of Birth: Bavarian Alps.
Family: Mother: Raven Darkhölme (deceased), Father: Victor Creed

History:
Kurt Darkholme lived a lonely childhood in the German countryside. Never allowed to interact with human children, he didn’t know his demon-like appearance might be jarring to others. With his mother Mystique often gone on secret missions for Magneto, Kurt was left to fend for himself. It was not until Apocalypse appeared that the townspeople rose up against him. A group of villagers stormed the house and knocked Kurt out before he could teleport. Kurt was to be sacrificed in a bizarre religious ritual to send all mutant demons back to Hell until Mystique, Magneto and Quicksilver, stormed the church. Mystique gunned down the humans who kidnapped her son before Magneto could stop her. Kurt was unable to deal with the sight of his mother’s ferocity and teleported away. Upon his return, Quicksilver informed him that his mother had asked Magneto to look after him. Kurt spent the next few years proving himself as a member of the team. Ironically, after seeing the world and the terror it had become in the hands of Apocalypse, Nightcrawler became one of Magneto’s most deadly agents.

In the final days of Apocalypse’s rule, Magneto sent Nightcrawler to find Destiny, a woman who could see into the future, in order to confirm story of a better reality. Located in a place called Avalon, Nightcrawler would have to reunite with his mother to find her. Nightcrawler and Mystique made their way to Avalon where they formed a small group of mutants who nicknamed themselves X-Calibre. The group located Destiny and prevented the destruction of Avalon by an operative of Apocalypse named the Shadow King. After returning with Destiny, Nightcrawler and the X-Men stormed Apocalypse’s base in order to free Magneto and his son. Mystique used the confusion of the battle to disappear.

One of the few remaining X-Men alive after Apocalypse was finally killed by Magneto, he went back to Avalon to rest with his friends. But, the simple life was wearing thin on Nightcrawler, and the hopeless, lost feeling the world felt now that it was free weighed heavy on him. So Kurt left Avalon, and eventually ended up on Muir Island, a former Sentinel Processing Plant, now being run by the mutant Kristen Kross.

The two spent many days searching through Mastermold’s mutant database to find the perfect mutants they would approach to begin a new team: X-Calibre. Kurt’s vision was to make X-Calibre a team that would fight to restore hope that the world could rebuild itself, and both mutants and humans could live together in peace. It would be a tough struggle, but Kurt knew there were too many tiny kings waiting to set themselves up in the shadow of the former dictator.

Invitations went out, and the mutants gathered together. It would be rough at first, trust didn’t come easy to these people, but they would eventually put their suspicions aside when Kurt became active as a team leader, and taught them that they could put their lives in another person’s hand.

Kurt has found his role as the leader of the world’s most prominent mutant group, in the wake of the X-Men, but they aren’t to be confused with their predecessors because X-Calibre has fashioned a legacy all of their own, and are a thorn in every villain’s side.
