when does nightcrawler find out mystique is his mother?
mystique
after hinting for many years that mystique was indeed nightcrawler's biological mother, it was confirmed by writer scott lobdell in "x-men unlimited" #4. in 2003, it was revealed that although mystique was married to a wealthy german, herr wagner, nightcrawler's father was azazel, a member of a race of demonic-looking mutants known as the neyaphem which date back to biblical times that were banished to another dimension by a race of angelic mutants. the storyline was furthered by the revelation that fellow x-man archangel's healing blood did not heal nightcrawler, and in fact caused him great pain.
