Love Nightcrawler! Shame he's dead.

Now, I'm gonna' blow you're minds a little by revealing that Nightcrawler... is Mystique's son!

His father is Azazel. That's the case in the comics at any rate.

It's the reason Singer makes it a point to have this shot in X2...

... even though the movies might never establish a familial connection between the two characters.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

For several years Mystique was also reported to be the mother of Nightcrawler, but the exact events were uncertain. Much later another writer, Chuck Austen, eventually revealed that the father was a demonic-looking mutant from biblical times called Azazel.

At that time, Raven is married to Baron Christian Wagner; older sources give his name as Count Eric Wagner, an affluent member of German nobility. He proves to be a loving husband, but rather disappointing as a lover. His infertility adds to their marital problems. Raven starts using her shapeshifting powers in order to secretly have sexual encounters with others. She is apparently both seeking sexual satisfaction and attempting to conceive another child. She is eventually seduced by fellow mutant Azazel.

Azazel states that he is ruler of "an island nation off the coast of Bermuda: La Isla des Demonas," The Island of Demons. He is apparently able to disguise his appearence (although is not a shapeshifter like Mystique), and also has the power of teleportation. He is later revealed to also have the power of immortality and to be the father of an ancient race of mutants known as the Neyaphem, active since at least 2000 BC. His natural form is that of a young man with black hair, yellow eyes, red skin, and a pointed tail. He later claimed to have been posing as a demon and to have used many aliases: "Because I am Semihazah, Duma, Keriel, Mastema, Beliar, Gadreel, and Beelzebub. And most commonly called Satan." Many of these aliases have also been claimed by several notable true demons of the Marvel Universe.

Raven soon becomes pregnant. Her husband becomes suspicious and his own father suggests a blood test to verify if the child is his. Mystique uses a dagger to murder him and then buries him. She eventually gives birth to a young boy with black hair, yellow eyes, blue skin, and a pointed tail. The locals consider the mother and child to be demons, and attempt to kill them. Mystique manages to escape but abandons her second known son. He is found and raised by Gypsy sorceress Margali Szardos and named Kurt Wagner.

Anyway, here's more of Sir Ian McKellen...

... and with Josh Horowitz for MTV here...

Sorry! I was talking about the comics. He's dead in the comics.

Don't call him a thing!

And remember that Raven ages at a much slower rate than that of an average human.

Anyway, I doubt this is something they'll bother with in the movies. I just thought I'd freak you guys out.

Though... you never know...

Tati_SwanJones · 12-10-2012, 05:24 PM

if Raven ages much slower, should her son have the same genes plus the crazy mutant gene???

**Violent Delights** · 12-11-2012, 02:52 PM

you guys.

Tati_SwanJones · 12-11-2012, 06:10 PM

**Violent Delights** · 12-12-2012, 01:27 PM

**Violent Delights** · 12-14-2012, 05:27 PM
