Someone’s allowing Kurt to play with sharp objects again...

As a lifelong fan of our favorite Fuzzy Elf, it's really nice to see such passionate and articulate fans on this thread!
I find myself agreeing with a lot of the sentiments expressed here: namely, how badly they've yo-yoed the character since Aaron brought him back and how he's generally overshadowed.
Some tangents I haven't seen mentioned:
Didn't Dan Slott want him on Mighty Avengers during the Fraction/Utopia era? I would've really loved to see how that panned out.
Also, how does everyone feel about the Aguirre-Sacasa/Robertson series from the mid 2000's? Darick Robertson is a really underrated Nightcrawler artist imo, he had a way of making Kurt's bamfing really kinetic looking. I also loved the idea of Kurt being the resident paranormal investigator of the X crew, even by X-Men standards he's always had a predilection for the strange.
Finally, what kind of setting in the greater MU would you like to see Kurt in?!?!
This series grew on me, I wasn’t convinced at first but on second reading I enjoyed it more.
I agree that a lot of the writers struggle to find a suitable role for Kurt other than team conscience, which is a bit safe.
I think he is integral to the X-Men project; someone so physically different that the only other place they could find sanctuary was in a circus. Even after all these years, Kurt has something to say about defining and accepting the ‘other’ in your found family.
It’s weird, when I first ‘met’ him I was 17, he was older than me, I’m 57 in July, I’m well old enough to be his mother!
Favorite team covers with Nightcrawler

And of course, this classic.
Favourite team cover? Still this one, I think, after all these these years, so powerful. And it was just two, ordinary, issues of the comic. Not an ‘EVENT!’ or crossover or anything special. Just an excellent story.

And this one, because it’s so much fun!
