Nightcrawler

Marvel’s 2004–2006 Nightcrawler series, written primarily by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa with art by Darick Robertson, takes the swashbuckling, teleporting X-Man Kurt Wagner on a solo journey that explores his faith, his swashbuckling roots, and his place in a world that often fears him. Over twelve issues, this run deepens Nightcrawler’s character beyond the team dynamic, blending supernatural threats with personal introspection. It’s a distinctive, character-driven chapter for the beloved mutant, showcasing his compassion and acrobatic heroism away from the X-Men’s shadow.
