He has a prehensile tail approximately 1 meter in length which could support his own weight, ending in a spade-shaped tip. He has pointed ears, pronounced fang-like canine teeth, and a thin coat of indigo fur along his limbs and torso. His spine is more flexible than an ordinary human being which allows for frequent crouching and contortionist movements without damaging his body. |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | ||
| Mutant Power(s) | Teleportation (4): Ability to teleport himself, the clothes he is wearing, and within limits a certain amount of additional mass which is in contact with him. He teleports by displacing himself into an unknown dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of departure. He consciously determines his point of return. The entire process occurs so quickly that Nightcrawler is unaware of being in the other dimension. | |
| Profession(s) | Acrobat Franciscan monk |
|
| Strengths & Weaknesses | Flexible Bone Structure: Nightcrawler's bone structure allows him great flexibility. He can remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist type feats without causing any damage to his spine. Camouflage: He has limited abilities to blend into shadows, both as a result of his indigo fur and his connection to the light-bending attributes of the dimension through which he teleports. This is also the explanation for why he constantly appears in shadow, even in direct light. Prehensile Tail: Nightcrawler has a tail allows him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground. It is deft enough to fight with like a sword or blunt object. Night Vision: Nightcrawler's always glowing eyes grant him a marked degree of heightened night vision as well. Superhuman Agility: Nightcrawler's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits. Superhuman Reflexes: Nightcrawler's natural reaction time is enhanced to a level beyond the human body's natural limits. |
