I have to admit Nightcrawler's portrayal in "X-Men: Apocalypse" was genuinely a pretty cool part of that deficient movie. Kodi Smit-McPhee, the actor who played him, is a truly phenomenal and underrated young actor that knew how to capture the personality of the Kurt from the comics and 2000's movies. I also loved his portrayal of Oskar/Owen in the romantic horror film "Let Me In"

Cool religious moment in the comic. Uncanny X-Men 159 is the first time they fight Dracula. When they realize who they're fighting, Wolverine pops a claw on each hand and makes a cross only to get swatted away. Dracula tells him it's pointless if you have no religious faith. Then Nightcrawler grabs two stakes and let's Dracula know that they are not lost for "...I believe" and shuts him down temporarily with his own cross.

I’d like to think to myself that his teleportation powers weren’t used for the first time to save his sister but to save himself as an infant when his mother threw him down the water fall. Obviously an unconscious use of his powers being an infant but an infant can still feel fear which usually activates powers.

That first image of Nightcrawler encapsulates one of the biggest sins of depicting the character: he is not supposed to be that blue. He is always given heavy shadowing to show that he is in fact designed to look almost like eerie moonlight. Bluish but shadowy, almost a dark purple. X2 did a surprisingly good job being faithful to this

I forget which issue but it’s the one where xforce is trying to stop the people building nimrod. During the age of x or house and powers of x series. Nightcrawler, literally just keeps spewing and dying over and over again until he is able to reach the nimrod and sabotage it. Like straight up just kept diving head first into dead until he figured out the most efficient path to get everyone there safely. That’s got to be a jarring experience and he did it without a second thought. Or when he and Logan ported into space near the surface of the sun. What an epic moment
