Nightscrawlers

That was fun. I have included shots from the entire night. Funny thing is a friend went as a red demon w/o telling me so you get a couple shots of Nightcrawler and Azazel but he did not get it. You can see how the grease paint started to come off in some shots, but it was fun. My gf's Daytripper was...

I think the way the Marvel Mythos goes is that you are your own product- you are a clear slate. I am sure someone with a Philosophy doctorate could put this more eloquantly than I so I will just paint this by citing some stories and giving them as examples: Graydon Creed was born of mutants, but he ...

That is a really good glove idea. I was thinking about cutting up some cloth but I have no sewing machine, and I like your idea better.

actually I think I found a solution in vinyl foodservice/surgical gloves. I can stretch it to fit over two fingers at once and it is not uncomfortable.

I wish I could find gloves. That would be the coolest. I feel pretty comfortable applying all the make up and scar tissue, but I wish they made and sold gloves that I could slip on and off.

If you have never been to SF on Halloween, there is an ENOURMOUS street party on Castro Street. The year of the photo was the Halloween after 9/11. Lots of people came out as their heroes that year. My decision to dress as Nightcrawler was a last minute one and I think that happened to a lot of folk...

blue grease paint. Pretty easy to get from any costume shop. This year we will blend it so it is more midnight blue. Out of the jar it is more of a royal blue and does not look like the dark shadowed hero I think.

I have no problem with Kurt and Amanda. Actually it is my favorite love interest for Kurt. I write off all of Amanda's bad behavior such as her wanderlust and secretive nature to her gypsy upbringing. Writers have had Kurt behave in much the same manner from time to time. Ultimately they are a stron...

Well I am lucky to share that my gf and I are dressing as Kurt and Amanda this year for Halloween. I am going as X2 Kurt and she is going as Daytripper. I did priest Kurt two years ago. That got mixed reviews. Two guys asked if I would be their third for blue man group and a few people asked me if I...

Well for one they trim his tail to a nub and give him white shoes, overalls and hat to make him Smurfcrawler . Another is watching as the writers over several issues unlock his untapped infinite power through his dark side only to have both exponentially grow out of his control so that he has to des...

Well you pretty much hit it on the head Entropy. I used to have that debate at Cons sometimes - Nightcrawler could always teleport an opponent within his teleporting mass range into a brick wall or teleport their head off, but he won't kill. That puts him at the most severe disadvantage. If you allo...

Now that I think about it, I don't think mainstream Nightcrawler has ever defeated a hero in a one on one fight. There are a number of times he has tricked or snuck up on one. These are the only two I could think of: Captain Britain Shadowcat (he was posessed) Nazi-Kurt defeated Meggan. I played Kur...

Nightcrawler and Spidey also fought briefly (and I mean BRIEFLY) in Secret Wars 1. I have a great amount of admiration for the elf, but in relation to combat prowess, I do not think he and Spider Man are in the same league. The Spider-man #161 and 162 are awfully generous in that he laid a glove on ...

I have the following entry for Azaz'el from "The Encyclopedia of Angels" Chief of the Watchers. God Blamed Azaz'el for the Watchers coming to earth and teaching humankind the secrets of Heaven. Azaz'el taught humans the art of making knives, swords, shields and breastplates. He taught wome...

Kurt's father's origin is almost dead on with my concept – even to the point of him being one of the Watchers. It just made sense. Kurt is the only mutant to manifest a different appearance from birth. Also his mutant power had no relation to his appearance. My story however was that as the union of...
