Powers and abilities

Kurt Wagner is a mutant with several superhuman advantages. His greatest power is his ability to teleport himself and some additional mass (he's teleported as much as a car) from one location to another. He does this by means of entering an alternate dimension briefly and reappearing in a desired location. He has to be familiar with the area he is teleporting to. He posesses a "spatial awareness" which stops him from teleporting into solid objects, but this ability diminishes the farther the distance he teleports.

Nightcrawler has superhuman agility similar to that of Spider-Man. He has enhanced reflexes. His endurance, stamina, and physical strength are all roughly the maximum possible for a human being of his size, but they do not reach superhuman levels. He has an ability to cling to surfaces in a manner that is also similar to that of Spider-Man. Due to his dark blue skin pigmentation and fur, he is very difficult to see in even moderate darkness. He has a prehensile tail strong enough to lift an adult man completely off the ground and deft enough to fight with a sword. Nightcrawler has heightened night vision.

Aside from the abilities granted by his mutation, Nightcrawler is a superb fencer and hand to hand combatant. He studied theology for several years and nearly became an ordained priest. Although a seemingly irreverent practical joker, he has a very well defined hierarchy of moral values and ethical standards, making his behavior a great example to his team members.

As a result of his days in the circus, Nightcrawler is a gifted performer capable of acrobatic feats and juggling routines impossible for normal human beings and highly captivating. He also has a wonderful sense of humor.
