Re: Who's your favorite character from the X-Men and why?
(Anonymous) 2024-03-27 12:27 am (UTC)(link)Nightcrawler was my favorite; mostly because of X-Men Evo tbh, where he had a bigger role on that show compared to every other adaption. Looking back, as a 13 year old kid I had a lot of body issues between 'being too ugly' and never fitting into whatever the hell being a girl was suppose to be (which lead to being bullied to shit for 5 years at an all girls school -fun); so Nightcrawler showing that insecurity in his appearance on the show felt very relatable to me.
Then when I got into the comics and found out more versions of his character - the fact that he was catholic without being 'religion is my personality' or 'God hates all gays' about it felt safe for me as a kid being raised in that faith but having no place in it on account of how I was going to burn in hell anyways (I'm ex-catholic now, but in a weird way it was a comfort while going in the process of letting go at that time). Especially stories where Kurt was accused of being a demon and being so hated for things beyond his control, just felt very relatable to me - while at the same time I loved the other aspect of his personality as a friend to the other X-men and his own sense of humor/adventure. Plus his design was really cool too.
Also he's to blame for being the first character that got me into multi-shipping, because I had wanted to read all the Nightcrawler fics no matter who he was shipped with (but my OTPs were definitely Todd/Kurt for X-Men Evo and Logan/Kurt for the comics - in fact I have the legendary butt-naked Nightcrawler standing in front of Wolverine comic cover as one of my lockscreens on my phone lol).
I could honestly go on forever with a list of other favorites like Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Mystique, Shadowcat, Beast and Magneto - but Nightcrawler is definitely the top favorite :'D
