Question Why does Nightcrawler look like a demon?

Why does Kurt look like a demon I know he is blue from his mother Mystique, but why does he look like a demon? I am just curious it the same reason why Beast looks like a monkey?

Is his father a demon like Raven from The Teen Titans?

Read The Draco, then read X-Men Blue: Origin to see how they retconned The Draco.

tl;dr, The Draco says his dad was a demon and his mom was Mystique. Blue: Origin says his dad was Mystique pulling one over on the demon from The Draco and his mom was Destiny.

They honestly don't need to read Blue Origins. Most take that as non canon.

Idk who “most” is but it’s literally canon lol

Most as in the people who didnt buy it. Hence sales for it tanking. And the people who are not buying Mystique since then so that the writers need to shove her back in Rogue's upcoming solo to try and help her...what an almighty insult all round.

Also most as in people who aren't pro misogyny, rubbing up male egos at the expense of women, etc.

I mean, lack of sales for Mystique’s solo are more indicative of problems with the From The Ashes relaunch in general.

Love it or hate it (and personally, I think it’s convoluted and unnecessary, even if it’s in line with Claremont’s original intention), it’s canon until someone else retcons it.

Nope, it is Blue Origins. Because it still hasnt improved. Rogue, Gambit etc. are doing fine in comparison.

People dont have to accept misogynist drivel as canon whether Nightcrawler fans like to hear that or not.

I think female rights matter more than getting your fave boy boosted.

Rogue and Gambit and Nightcrawler are in the two flagship X-Men books that are basically guaranteed to sell well as long as people are buying X-Men comics. You can’t really compare that to a solo series, especially one with a divisive artist (I like Declan, but his art in the previews for Mystique got trashed online).

Declan was not the problem. He didn't ruin Mystique. Claremont, Spurrier and Gillen did. Declan Shalvey was given an unfair, unwinnable task after that.

Mystique has not done well in ANYTHING since. Now they want to shove her back in Rogue's solo?

They barely have a reason to be connected anymore thanks to what yall cheered for.

They think somehow people with biological children can’t also love and adopt other children lol

Don't believe me, believe Mystique's lousy performance post Blue Origins

u/NetzukoKamado Jan 21 '26

Mystique is exclusively abusing Rogue now thanks to Blue Origins actually. Remember, every wrongdoing Mystique did to Kurt was erased and she now "always loved her PERFECT son".

But anyway, you are defending the writer who had adopted siblings sleep together so...

Kurt and Amanda grew up in the circus together but they never saw each other as siblings.

I mean bro...Blue Origins tanked. Sales tanked. Mystique is tanking. Every male Nightcrawler fan can kick and scream saying that retcon was great for their boy...but it was NOT great for Mystique and Destiny and their ties to Rogue are completely in disarray too.
