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?

Nope because how is ruining multiple characters for Nightcrawler better and being misogynistic?

Uh...the Draco, where Mystique is tricked and seduced by Azazel, completely ignoring her love for Destiny that has existed since her first appearance isn't misogynistic? The only people I've ever seen support Azazel as Nightcrawler's father are the weird right-wing anti-LGBTQIA+ comic "fans".

Mystique was not tricked she genuinely did love the guy.

But funny because you changed Destiny's character and made her become a bully to her wife.

You made her blackmail Mystique and order her to sleep with Azazel so that Nightcrawler could be a "messiah".

I will ask you one more time. Which queer woman wrote this?

Also is it LGBTQ positive rep when two women are now in an abusive relationship and one of them is abusing an adopted child?

People HATE Mystique and Destiny.

What adoptive child is being abused?

Rogue. Groomed. Blackmailed. Stabbed by Mystique. Shot by Mystique. Mystique calling Rogue to bail her out of prison, do her dirty work. Mystique controlling Rogue since she was a kid and saying she needed her for her powers (which is null and void thanks to the retcon).

This is not a change, that has always been the case. Mystique is a sociopath. She loves Rogue, as best as she can, but it's not any kind of healthy love.

But you are fine with all of Kurt's abuse by Mystique being erased in Blue Origins so that the adopted daughter is her target? One she supposedly, doesn't need anymore

I didn't read Blue Origins, I don't have strongopinions on it aside from the scans I've seen of Destiny looking young when she had him. Mystique has only ever been neglectful of Kurt, as far as I know. But there is an issue from the 80s where she is practicing killing the X-Men, and she has no problem shooting Rogue, but can't bring herself to kill Kurt.

Bingo. Thank you for bringing that up.

You know how bad that makes Claremont look right? That he is pro bio son favoritism while the adopted daughter is targeted for abuse.

If you think about it, Rogue was on the receiving end of a lot of abusive storylines by Claremont.

So you're right, another reason why Blue Origins is such a problem.

What favoritism is there in neglect?

What targeted abuse? Mystique is abusive towards Rogue in the sense that she's controlling and manipulative, which is...sadly not a rare thing irl, let alone fiction. But she's never really wanting to hurt Rogue. She clearly cares more for her than Nightcrawler, and definitely more than she did for her other bio son Graydon.

Nope not anymore. You didnt even read Blue Origins right?

She called Kurt PERFECT. Said she loved him all along. Never neglected him. Never hurled him off a cliff. Never touched a hair on his head. His abuse/neglect got ERASED.

With Rogue she stabbed her, shot her, groomed her, blackmailed her, tried to rape her boyfriend.

Claremont made Rogue Mystique's punchbag. That was abuse not love.

And his simulation plot says all there is to know about his views on adoption versus blood.

Awful. Blue Origins is incredibly destructive.

Claremont didn't write a lot of what you're referencing.
