  Nightcrawler is my absolute favorite. In my opinion he represents Xavier's dream. His appearance scares people and makes him hated, but he still fights to defend those that hate and fears him.

  Nightcrawler has always been my favorite X-man. I love his power set, his look, and his light hearted nature while still being kinda depressed. Just a great character that i feel doesn't get much attention.

  I'm not a big fan of religion, but I've always really liked that aspect of Nightcrawler's character. It sets him apart, and kind of grounds him in our reality a little bit. He's not religious in some crazy, over-the-top way like some of the Stryker and the Purifiers..Kurt's just deeply religious in the way that some people are. It's not usually a plot point, it's just an aspect of his personality. It's important to him, but it isn't like his sole motivation in life. He doesn't mention it every other sentence, just like most real people wouldn't. Also, Catholicism is a religion that very distinctly exists in our current world. It's not just some vague non-denominational thing, or a dead pantheist religion that nobody really believes anymore. Catholic is just a thing that some people are. I don't know...on the one hand, it kind of grates on me, because I don't like religion at all. But on the other, Kurt is a perfect example of how solidly the X-Men are rooted in our real world. It's funny, though...how a fictional character believing in another fictional character can make him seem all the more real. There's some meta commentary in that, I think.

  Nightcrawler has been my favorite since I was a kid. I'd say Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Wolverine are my favorite X-Men characters. And I'd say Joker and Magneto are my top villains of all time. My favorite superheroes have to be Spider-Man and Batman.
