Biography
Kurt Darkholme lived a lonely childhood in the German countryside. He was never allowed to interact with human children, and was never told his demon-like appearance might be jarring to others. With his mother Mystique often gone on secret missions for Magneto, Kurt was left to fend for himself.
It was not until Apocalypse appeared that the people of town rose up against the frightening mutant. A group of villagers stormed the house and knocked Kurt out before he was able to teleport.
Moments before Kurt would have been sacrificed in a bizarre religious ritual to send all mutant demons back to Hell, Mystique, along with Magneto and Quicksilver, stormed the church. Mystique gunned down the humans who kidnapped her son before Magneto could stop her. Kurt was unable to deal with the sight of his mother's ferocity and teleported away.
When Kurt finally returned to his home, Quicksilver informed him that his mother had asked Magneto to look after him. Kurt became a part of the X-Men family that day and spent the next few years becoming a member of the team. Ironically, after seeing the world and the terror it had become in the hands of Apocalypse, Nightcrawler became one of Magneto's most deadly agents.
After the appearance of Bishop and his story of a better reality, Magneto desired confirmation. He sent Nightcrawler to find Destiny, a woman who could see into the future. She was located in a place called Avalon; to get there Nightcrawler would have to reunite with his mother.
