Obviously, I know Jean and Scott are a couple with Warren as a third wheel, and that he and Bobby are close, but what else?

To my understanding Cerebro is used to enhanced the telepathy of the user. What if not the telepath uses cerebro ? Would it like, fry the brains of the user ?

The one thing i always hating was how much they made cyclops to just be the team shooter, i don’t know if kit could but i need cyclops to be very agile , doing flips , using blasts as a sort of motion boost .

Also i really hope they expand on the optic blasts being able to bounce , the choreography would be fire , he’s the most iconic heat vision user ( yes i know it’s not heat vision it’s concussive blast .. im just saying in terms the red lasers coming out of the eye) after Superman . Although i think in the first movie angel should be a better fighter than he is I still want him to quite mobile in his fights

It seems like barely any writer wants to use him.

He’s very strong and can fit into any team imo.

They really said "let's make Cyclops even cooler."

BLAST PEARL JAM AS LOUD AS YOU CAN AND GET IN THE CAR! WE'RE GOING TO THE MALL, BABY!

KURT LODER IS ON MTV NEWS AND CLINTON IS PRESIDENT! IT'S ADAM-X TIME!

Seriously though, it's fucking hilarious that Nicieza intended Adam-X to be the third Summers brother and just never got a chance to finalize that story and then, like twelve years later they invented Vulcan and basically gave him the EXACT same origin story as Adam-X.

Also...

EDITORIAL: So, he's a new character? What's his name?

NICIEZA: ADAM-X.

EDITORIAL: Oh. he's got the X in his name already? FUCKING SWEET. BUT I THINK WE NEED ANOTHER X.

NICIEZA: ADAM-X, THE X-TREME.

EDITORIAL: FUCK. YES.

(Even Flow by Pearl Jam begins to loudly play in the office. It emanates not from speakers, but from some unseen force)

EDITORIAL: WHAT'S HIS POWER?

NICIEZA: He sets blood on fire.

EDITORIAL: HELL YES. BUT I WANT HIM TO HAVE A SWORD. SHATTERSTAR HAS A SWORD AND IS COOL AS FUCK.

NICIEZA: ...he can only set blood on fire...after...it's been exposed to oxygen.

EDITORIAL: ...So he uses the sword to cut them first...?!

NICIEZA: (Nods silently)

EDITORIAL: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, FABE'S DONE IT AGAIN.

Honestly, the saddest part is that I really do actually like Adam-X. And X-Men #39 is a nice story.

Kurt “Nightcrawler” Wagner is one of my favorite X-Men characters. He’s got it all: pitch perfect design, cool and dynamic powers, incredibly fun personality, and ties perfectly into the X-Men’s “mutant metaphor” with his visible, demonic-looking mutation.

He’s been a staple of the team since the X-Men’s Second Genesis in 1975, and has been there through it as long as the likes of Wolverine and Storm.

…but he’s not as utilized or even popular as those two. Why is that? Like I said earlier, Kurt has so many redeeming qualities that should make him one of the X-Men’s biggest stars, but that’s verifiably not the case.

He skipped out on the 90’s animated series because it adapted the Jim Lee relaunch era which had Nightcrawler on Excalibur, he appeared in only one of the original FOX-Men movies before disappearing (and then popping back up in the bad ones), he’s missed out on games like the Marvel vs Capcom series and is currently missing out on Marvel Tokon and Marvel Rivals, and in the X-Men ‘97 they brought him in for a season and half only to end up killing him.

It’s not much better in the comics. After the disappointment that was the 90’s era he started the new millenium on Chuck Austen’s disastrous X-Men run (not even on Claremont’s X-Treme X-Men), did nothing of note during the 2000’s except get the Azazel retcon (which was retconned out), died during 2010’s, and then came back and proceeded to be nothing again during the 2010’s.

The Krakoa era gave him some relevancy by being on the Quiet Council, but at the same time made him weirdly, overly natalist for no reason. He got to be Uncanny Spider-Man, which was a really cool change of pace, and that was basically it.

Now he’s with the current Uncanny X-Men team, and I somewhat like it (includes Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue who are also some of my favorites) but he’s still not really getting much focus

I feel like there’s some great potential for Kurt to branch out and join a team like the Avengers, or even lead a longer solo series and be like classic silver-age Daredevil, the more swashbuckler type superhero.

But what do you guys think? You agree or am I just expecting too much for Nightcrawler?

2nd slide is reference!
