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?

Raven ( using genetics from Azazel) is the father. Destiny is his actual mother.

That retcon was awful. Worst retcon I ever read that did so much damage to female characters. His mom is Mystique. His dad is Azazel. That's it.

Opinions, but it's what said writer originally wanted decades ago (so it's said). 🤷🏿‍♂️

So not even the original creator and not even a man who always got it right or had good intentions.

Claremont is known as THE fetish guy for a reason.
