Kurt Wagner could become the superior Spider-Man.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With the dream of Krakoa currently in ruins, Nightcrawler, the fan-favorite X-Men hero, is bamfing into a brand-new status quo as Marvel Comics’ Uncanny Spider-Man. As he seeks solace from the torture he’s endured at the hands of Krakoa’s enemies, Kurt Wagner is once again proving himself to be the swashbuckling hero that fans know and love by adopting an identity inspired by longtime X-Men ally, Peter Parker himself.
Nightcrawler, well-known for his teleportation powers, will showcase another forgotten power upon taking the Webslinger mantle. Introduced in Uncanny X-Men #103, written by Chris Claremont, Kurt can turn invisible when in shadows. Subsequently, this power has been downgraded to simple light refraction, at best, or completely forgotten at worst, but a new identity – and a new Nightcrawler origin – is the perfect opportunity to revisit the underrated power.
Nightcrawler Could Become the Superior Spider-Man With the future of the X-Men frought as the Fall Of X arrives, making Nightcrawler the new Spider-Man also gives Marvel that opportunity to provide some levity for at least one of its famous mutant heroes. However, replacing Peter Parker as Spider-Man is always a precarious creative move.
There was also the infamous Clone Saga, which for a time saw Ben Reilly replace Peter Parker, a move less fondly remembered by Spider-fans. Nightcrawler, as a long-time member of the X-Men, is already a strong and capable hero in his own right, whose abilities and experience should make stepping into Spider-Man's massive shoes easier than for most. Nightcrawler’s identity as Spider-Man is a great opportunity to take the character in bold new directions.
