Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont returns once more to tell a story he first hinted at decades ago, as Marvel celebrates a major milestone for the franchise. Claremont's backup story in X-Men #35 will give him the opportunity to explore Nightcrawler's relationship with his biological parents, now that they have been reunited.
In addition to delivering the finale of the vaulted Krakoan Era, X-Men #35 will double as Uncanny X-Men #700, under Marvel's legacy numbering system. The original contiguous Uncanny X-Men run ended in 2011 with issue #544. "One would think it's a good thing to discover their true family," Nightcrawler narrates on the opening page of "Getting To Know You." "For me, anything but," he adds. X-Men's Kurt Wagner has long been among the mutants who have the most difficulty finding their identity, in large part due to the way he is perennially shunned for his appearance. The tumult and uncertainty of his history has only added to that.
"X-Men Origins: Blue" Made Claremont's Idea Canon After Decades Of Delay Better Late Than Never Close As much ground as Claremont broke during his tenure, some of his most progressive ideas never made it on to the page. Among those was his proposed origin story for Nightcrawler. X-Men Blue: Origins recontextualizes much of this messy history, consolidating it into what ultimately was one of the high-points of X-Men's Krakoan Era. In part, this was because the issue provided more than just definitive long-awaited confirmation of Nightcrawler's true origin, but because, in a sense, it was a form of catharsis for many readers, who had wanted the story to be affirmed.
