Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler’s Religious History & Christianity in X-Men Comics | Krakin’ Krakoa #181

May 19, 2021 by Dave Leave a Comment

From the unforgettable Dave Cockrum design to the swashbuckling heart of the X-Men in the pages of Chris Claremont and company’s comics, Nightcrawler has long been my favorite mutant. I remain elated by the opening sequence of Nightcrawler in X2: X-Men United, and forever lament the character’s general absence in the 90s animated series. As the character develops in comics, Kurt Wagner’s Christianity becomes a more integral part of his story, not quite as integral as say Daredevil’s Catholicism, or even Kamala Khan’s Islamic faith, but certainly notable among the X-Men.

Today I’ll Answer:

  • What has Nightcrawler’s religion looked like through comics history?
  • Is there space for Christianity on Krakoa?
  • What does this history tell us about what to expect in 2021’s Way of X and beyond?
