The Kurt Wagner / Nightcrawler Appreciation 2021

Well, lucky you. But that one in the loft? You may have to worry. *Cackles*

Everyone knew about my Kurt fixation, so people made them for me. I’ll post a picture of the china one, but the cat has me pinned to the sofa, so I can’t go upstairs at the mo.

Thats really got me curious.

Kurts got class.

I was really hoping for Kurt and Stacy to be friends and this more recent showing in this Dominio Annual would have been a far better characterization for Stacy than Maddie II which she has no reason to act like. She should be happy she got her powers back.

His tail was damaged in a house move, but I still love him! I’m still friends with the potter too.

What is going to happen to Kurt in the next era? I hope it's not a snooze.



But thatt may be better than outright character assassination, though.

I’m hoping he gets to be a permanent member of a team in another book. Not sure if Spurriers going to bench him in onslaught revelations or if he’ll be in his ‘season 2’ book, and with his handling of him so far I have very mixed feelings about it.

Still possible he’ll be taken off the table while Krakoa goes to hell in a handcart after Inferno (less likely, now the master architect, Hickman, is stepping back).
I have a very strong feeling that the last shot of Onslaught Revelation will be Kurt opening up his cathedral to the good mutants of Krakoa, with him stood on the steps welcoming them. My guess is that there might be a portal bet the cathedral and whatever David is building on Mars.

It certainly feels like that’s the direction it’s heading, but Kurt being in charge of such a place means he’s less likely to ever be on ‘the field’ in books, so for me that could be benching his character, only making small appearances here and there to be the ‘priest’. But as you say after inferno who knows what’s going to happen, all I know is the x-office want another Hellfire gala so it’s doesn’t sound like Krakoa’s done for yet.

As everyone probably knows by now, it’s my favourite relationship in comics.
And, one aspect if that is that Logan needs Kurt way, way more than Kurt needs Logan.
Multiple writers have written it like that, which is a very interesting dynamic. It showed up most when each died. We had multiple scenes of Logan mourning his friend for months across many books. When Logan died, Kurt, who has much better coping mechanisms, mourned but then pulled himself together and moved on.
Neither is the others sidekick, it’s a friendship of equals, but even so, Logan needs this strong, supportive friendship more than gregarious, open Kurt does.
And that fascinates me.

There’s two things that Logan looks at like this...
One is beer.

The other is his best friend.
