Mystique - a woman with blue skin who can change her appearance at anytime. She’s Kurt and Rogue’s mother. She’s 36. Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch - an aggressive girl with buzzed black hair. Her powers are practically uncontrollable and unknown. She’s Magneto’s daughter. She’s 17. Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver - Wanda’s twin brother, who has white hair and super speed. He’s Magneto’s son. He has shown interest in Evan. He’s 17. Lance/Avalanche - an agressive teenager with a brown mullet. He can control rocks. He’s Kitty’s ex-boyfriend. He’s 17. Fred/The Blob - a blonde, fat boy whose mutation is literally being fat. He’s 18. Todd Tolensky/Toad - a short, skinny, dirty blonde boy whose powers are being like a frog. He’s 15.

Kurt's fun-loving nature can sometimes get him into trouble. For example, while playing around with a machine he discovered in an abandoned lab, he was caught in the "Middleverse" created by a student named Forge, who was himself trapped in this pocket dimension. Kurt's power came in handy here, as his teleportation allowed him to ghost back into the real world and alert the team, who eventually rescued both boys. Another time, Kurt (and Kitty) piggybacked on the X-Jet when Wolverine took it to Canada and ended up in the middle of a big fight between him and Sabretooth, and against the head of the Weapon X project.

Nightcrawler's physical mutation includes blue colored fur covering his body, two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, yellowish-white eyes, pointed ears, fang-like canine teeth, and a prehensile tail. These features give him a demonic appearance.

While wearing his image-inducer, Kurt's appearance changes to that of a light-skinned unmutated human version of his actual appearance. He has blue-ish black hair with dark eyes.

Mutant Physiology: Kurt's mutant physiology grants him advanced agility, reflexes, balance, the ability to cling to solid surfaces and a prehensile tail he can use to grasp and handle objects. His tail is strong enough to support his own weight when he stands on it.

Teleportation: His mutation also grants him the primary power to teleport through inter-dimensional phase-shifting, vanishing from our dimension into another for a fraction of a second, then reappearing instantaneously within our dimension in any predetermined space within a limited, two-mile range. When Kurt teleports, he leaves behind black smoke and a smell of brimstone, which is the atmosphere originating from the alternate dimension he phases into. Kurt can teleport himself as well as other people and objects. He has teleported as many as 3 people and a moving car. The only other limitation of his teleporting ability is that he has to be able to see or know where he is going, otherwise he risks reappearing inside a solid surface. Kurt seems to possess a limited spatial awareness that helps him avoid reappearing within solid constructs as long as he knows where he's going.

When Kurt Wagner was born, his mutation was readily apparent, due to his blue fur, pointed ears, strange extremities and prehensile tail. His mother, Mystique found out that Magneto, whom she was working with at the time, had been genetically experimenting on him. She tried to leave, but was pursued by Magneto and a pack of wolves. She accidentally dropped the baby into a river where he was found by Mr. and Mrs. Wagner. The Wagners loved Kurt, but understood that he could not walk freely in the outside world, as people would be horrified by his appearance. Eventually, the young mutant was discovered by Professor Charles Xavier. When Mystique found out that he was alive, but living happily with foster parents, she left him there, understanding that he could have a happy life with them, instead of living like the criminal she was.

Kurt is around fifteen to sixteen years old. He has a heavy German accent. He’s very friendly and kind to essentially everyone, but can be a bit bratty.
