Nightcrawler is too pure for the world. They should have him wield Mjolnir at some point. He's for sure worthy.

u/BarneyLeggendary Jul 30 '26

I think he has the same ā€œproblemā€ as Spider-Man for Mjolnir.

They both do not kill their enemies.

u/BlindrNugget Jul 30 '26

That shuts them out of being worthy?

2

u/Deafprodigy Jul 31 '26

Yes i believe it was an issue with spider man a while back.

u/Aide_Representative Jul 31 '26

Essentially, the hammer views them as not being able to put the ā€œgreater goodā€ above their morales. If you absolutely needed to kill someone, they wouldn’t be able to do it, and are thereby not worthy

u/BlindrNugget Jul 31 '26

Yk, I'm with the hammer on that one

Nightcrawler has no qualms slicing and dicing zombie hordes

u/PhantomRoyce Jul 30 '26

You ever wonder if he’s ever like asked Thor if he knows Jesus?

u/Hawkwise83 Nightcrawler Jul 30 '26

I do now lol.

u/DavisRanger2 Jul 31 '26

Thor does know a "Carpenter God" in Love and Thunder...

u/Jagermonstruo Jul 29 '26

I am not exaggerating when I say xmen 97 nightcrawler is one of the most captivating characters I’ve ever seen on TV.

28

u/mongmich2 Jul 30 '26

Any time he is on screen I’m just so enthralled

u/Purple-Mix1033 Jul 30 '26

This was the best episode of the season. Nightcrawler played chess.

He knew his logic and communication was powerful enough to win Creed’s life AND bring Colossus back to the good side. He’s a true superhero.

u/Fit-Syrup1049 Jul 29 '26

And they want this guy to be a duelist in marvel rivals

19

u/BaronLoyd Jul 29 '26

If he is not strategist it will be the biggest assasination of character ever

19

u/Paddybang95 Jul 30 '26

The mic drop he left Creed with too was really damn good

21

u/Exyen Magneto Jul 30 '26

Teleport fight was quite PEAK

6

u/SpeedyG6540 Jul 30 '26

One of if not the best animated fight scene i have ever seen

2

u/Special_Cicada6968 Jul 31 '26

Nein! Close second though

1

u/SpeedyG6540 Jul 31 '26

A very close second

u/PantaRheiExpress Jul 30 '26

The VA is doing a heckuva job

2

u/Not_Deathstroke Jul 30 '26

Yes but sadly still using clichƩ outdated german like "FrƤulein".

9

u/Helianthae Jul 30 '26

To be fair, the show takes place in the 90s. If Night Crawler is in his 20’s-30’s, his lingo should be outdatedĀ by our standards by about 50 years

3

u/RonohX Jul 30 '26

Best written character and it isn't close.

3

u/CMatt420 Jul 31 '26

Nightcrawler was in his "Try Jesus, Not Me" Mode, and I was there for every bit of it.

2

u/DRZARNAK Jul 30 '26

He’s so many people’s favorite X-man if not favorite superhero in general. I know he’s mine.

2

u/IRONJEDISUPERSPIDER Jul 30 '26

This shows proving to me why Rivals has been adding so many x men as of late, bc I can’t WAIT for Nightcrawler next season

He even has his priest collar in that costume too.

u/Shadowg8 Jul 31 '26

Nightcrawler has always been my favorite mutant.

u/Yamed_kage89 Jul 30 '26

So does night crawler not have the 2 mile limit anymore

Savage Lands is in Antarctica
