Raised by kind circus folk in Munich in Germany, the religious Kurt Wagner took the stage name Nightcrawler. Kidnapped by a cruel fight club in Berlin, Kurt was made to fight Angel, accidentally injuring his fellow mutant. Escaping with the help of Raven Darkholme, Kurt recognized her as Mystique, the mutant who had saved the life of President Nixon.

Taken by her to Caliban, Kurt prepared to travel to the United States of America alone. After Raven learned of the activities of Erik Lehnsherr, however, Kurt instead accompanied her to the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Once there, Kurt met Hank McCoy and soon became good friends with Scott Summers, Jean Grey and Jubilee. Accompanying his new friends to the mall, when they returned they saw the school destroyed and some of their teachers being kidnapped by William Stryker.

Teleporting his friends into Stryker's warplane, Kurt was realized that the plane was like the cage in Berlin and he could not teleport out. Once at Alkali Lake, Kurt helped in freeing Weapon X and rescuing Hank McCoy, Raven Darkholme, Peter Maximoff and Moira MacTaggert from their prison.

Heading on one of Stryker's warplanes, in the Battle of Cairo, Kurt was tasked with rescuing Charles Xavier from En Sabah Nur. Rushing to rescue Xavier, Kurt was confronted by Angel and the two engaged in a rematch. Once again trumping Angel, Kurt rescued Xavier and took him back to the warplane. After Angel and Psylocke downed the warplane, Kurt teleported his friends to a secure location but passed out from the strain of the experience.

Waking up after the defeat of En Sabah Nur, Kurt returned to the school and decided to stay as a student alongside his friends. Now a part of the X-Men, Kurt joined his friends to be led by Hank McCoy and Raven Darkholme in a training session inside the Danger Room.
