Kurt gives himself a light dusting of chalk and gets ready for his routine on Parallel Bars for Kamden ^______^
By now, onlookers and professional commentators–having somewhat overcome the initial novelty of Kurt’s appearance at the Olympics–start to get psyched up for his events and a hush falls over the stands. There is a camera trained on his face and a giant flat screen treats everyone including viewers at home to a close-up of this exciting indigo man perched and trying to force down a grin for the sake of concentration on that task at hand.
(every time I draw him, the deep squat gets deeper. ogod, he’s too powerful)
This is for all of the Momstique fans out there. And to the Kitty fans, I’m so sorry for giving you a cute moment between her and Kurt and then pulling the rug from under you. I promise that future comics with Kitty will make up for this.
This comic was partially inspired by a scene in X-Men Forever #17 in which Mystique disguises herself as a newspaper photographer to snap a photo of her children, Nightcrawler and Rogue, without them being aware it was her.
For the record, I don’t condone Mystique’s behavior at all, but it does kinda tug at my heartstrings in a way because she has to disguise herself in order to get photos of her son. And before you ask, Kurt didn’t notice the change in “Kitty’s” eyes because he was more focused on making sure both his face and medal were in the frame.
Geez Kitty!! Fucking be careful with that whirly-gig computer! If it wasn’t bad enough that you give Jinjav a free look at Kurt’s prehensile weiner schnitzel, you could have accidentally pulled his skin off!! (Nightcrawler #2 – Dec 1985)
Nightcrawler vol.01:no.02, written, pencil’d, ink’d, and coloured by Dave Cockrum.
Without context, it makes it look like Kitty & Illyana are using the Danger Room’s computer to remove Kurt’s clothes from afar. Which raises the question “Why does the Danger Room have the ability to remove people’s clothes from afar?”… and I’m not sure we want the answer to that.
Charles Xavier building a machine to remotely strip his students of their clothing from a distance is both horrifying and horrifyingly in character honestly O.O
Also
I love the fact that it’s canon that Nightcrawler is basically some kind of Sex God in the X-universe and that everyone wants the fuzzy blue elf loving
Like
“Wait how can Kurt be the sex symbol of this series he is blue and furry and has golden eyes and a TAIL”
“I KNOW WHAT THIS FANDOM IS LIKE OKAY”
@dr-archeville you really should be ashamed of yourself for reminding decent folks going about their own business of Chuck Austen’s nonsense. Shame!
