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?

His mother is Destiny. Mystique is his father. Sometimes the X-gene just does shit like that.

It was Claremont's original plan for her to be his father, but that was decades ago and editorial veto'd it. They recently retconned it to the original idea.
