X-Men Poster #52 Nightcrawler Poster Greg Land Uncanny X-Men

Description

Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) was a member of both the X-Men and Excalibur. Created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum, he debuted in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). During the “X-Men: Second Coming” storyline, Nightcrawler is killed in an attempt to save Hope Summers in X-Force #26 (April 2010). A mutant, Nightcrawler possesses superhuman agility, the ability to teleport across short or long distances in a puff of crimson red smoke, invisibility in deep shadows, and adhesive hands and feet. His physical mutations include indigo colored skin, two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, yellow eyes, pointed ears, and a prehensile tail. In Nightcrawler’s earlier comic book appearances he is depicted as being a happy-go-lucky practical joker and teaser, and a fan of swashbuckling fiction. Nightcrawler is a German Catholic and while this is not emphasized as much in his earlier comic book appearances, in later depictions Nightcrawler is more vocal about his faith.
