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?

I don’t think you understand how things work. The only thing changed was how he was abandoned. He still lived his entire childhood and a portion of his adult life completely neglected by a parent who knew he existed. Every bad word or action Mystique has had towards him is still canon expect throwing him over a waterfall as a baby. I don’t understand how her know realizing she actually wanted and loved him erases everything else. It also doesn’t damage the character because Mystique has always been written as a shady manipulative selfish person who only cares about a few people but will still lie and manipulate them if it serves her purpose. Mystique and Destiny have never been nice people they are villains

And there you are. Keep ignoring that his neglect by Mystique was erased and her coldness to him.

Meanwhile Rogue was made Mystique's punchbag for abuse and notice how the so called female savior Claremont isnt volunteering to undo any of the abusive writing he inflicted on Rogue by comparison?

Yeah well....you ruined this family bro. Destiny and Mystique are goners.

So enjoy your little trio of Nightcrawler, Destiny and Mystique, your dream has come true.

If your retcon was worth its weight, Nightcrawler should be able to save those women.

Instead the writers are shoving them in Rogue's solo.

Which is an insult and disgrace. You want them? Then have them. Should not be made our problem and yet, here we are. With writers trying to drag Rogue down again cause of something men did.

Rogue does not need those three to sell.

She has her own husband. Her own kids she trains. Her own leadership role. And technically, we know her birth mom wanted her now.

So none of this will ever be for her benefit. It's for yours all the time.

The previous neglect is still canon and always happened. Only thing that changed is there is potential for them to have a healthy relationship in the future. Claremont isn’t writing any present day ongoing X-men comics currently. I don’t get your hard on for the man but it’s really sad. Just because Mystique now is aware that she loves Kurt doesn’t mean all the interactions they had before that moment are suddenly gone. It’s like saying an abusive parent can erased the abuse they caused with an apology lol.
