Who is Nightcrawler?

This is the German-language edition of Marvel's Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner), the blue-skinned, teleporting mutant and X-Men member, published by Panini Deutschland. His appearances alongside Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, and Cyclops confirm he is the same swashbuckling hero from the classic X-Men roster.

Bursting onto the scene in 1988 through Panini Deutschland's Die Gruppe X #11, this Nightcrawler has been a fixture of the Copper and Modern Age for nearly four decades, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, and Cyclops across a catalog that stretches all the way to 2025. With 36 appearances spanning titles like X-Men, Wolverine, and She-Hulk, this is clearly a character woven into the fabric of some seriously consequential comics real estate — including three key issues that any sharp-eyed collector will want to track down. Whether you're a longtime devotee or just discovering the breadth of Panini Deutschland's output, Nightcrawler's long run and distinguished company make this a rewarding corner of the comics world to explore.
