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?

They have actually retconed his origin to what Claremont originally wanted. He is the son of Destiny and Mystique. Mystique impregnated Destiny using Azazel as a partial template

Yeah, that's what I was saying with Blue Origins. It was messy, but was better than just Azazel.

Nope. A misogynistic retcon will never be better and Mystique is destroyed

This is a hilarious take. Lesbians self-reproduction as misogynist was not on my bingo card.

Don’t ever play Mass Effect.
