You scored as Nightcrawler. History
Kurt Wagner, alias Nightcrawler. Son of Mystique; father unknown. [Note: Father in comics was Count Eric Wagner, who died under mysterious circumstances; this has not yet been revealed on the show.] Mutated during infancy, presumably even more than he was at birth, by Magneto. Upon discovering her son's condition, Mystique fled into the woods with Kurt. She was chased by wolves, as well as Magneto, and cornered on a bridge. The baby Kurt fell from her hands into a river, whereupon he floated for a while until a farmer fished him out of the water.

The farmer and his wife treated Kurt like their own son. He lived with them throughout his childhood, never knowing who his real parents were. He performed with a circus for most of his childhood, until his powers began to become more prominent, at which point he travelled to the Xavier Institute.

Profile
Kurt's abilities include teleportation, exceptional agility and acrobatic prowess, and a prehensile tail. He is the least normal-looking of all the X-Men, with a pointed tail, pointed ears (some would say elf-like... or Vulcan-like, depending on how you look at it), three-fingered hands, two-toed feet, and fine blue fur.

Despite his appearance, Kurt is the definitive Mr. Nice Guy - kind, sensitive, jocular, and enthusiastic about almost everything. But underneath this, he's a very vulnerable person, always conscious of his appearance. Though a holographic inducer allows him to blend in with normal teenagers, he's always aware that it could break down at any time. As if that weren't bad enough, the inducer does nothing to hide his physical characteristics, so he always has to take care not to touch anyone, lest they feel his fur or three-fingered hands.

Or his tail. Speaking of which, have you ever wondered where he holds his tail when he's at school, so that he won't hit anyone with it? Draped over his shoulder? Wrapped around his leg? Hmm. Also, have you ever thought about what a pain it would be to have only three fingers? What would it be like for Kurt to, for example, touch-type on a keyboard? Or how about playing the piano - I shudder to think of that one.

Let's now address a somewhat contentious issue - Kurt's age. Most sites will tell you that Kurt is fourteen or fifteen years old. This could be possible, were it not for the fact that he has, on more than one occasion, driven the X-Van (most notably in The Cauldron Part I). This would mean that he must be at least sixteen. "But wait!" I hear you cry. "What if the driving age in New York, the state in which Bayville is located, isn't sixteen?" This page should show you that it is, indeed, sixteen.

Lastly, have you ever wondered why there's a wisp of smoke left behind after Kurt teleports? I looked it up, and it turns out that it's part of the atmosphere from the dimension through which he travels while teleporting.
