Tom, I see you get a lot of people harping about Nightcrawler. I don't wish to sound stuffy, but I think your responses don't get the point across. Wiki Alternate Versions of Nightcrawler, (there's 14 listed) all of these, and the original, are basically all dead. All Crawler fans have left is (as Logan would describe) the little "blue-rats". No chance of something happening with Azazel in Jason Aaron's W&tXM soon? Can Nightcrawler fans keep giving Marvel money to see their character?
I have to say, I kind of think this line of argument is ridiculous. To put it in other terms, there are various alternate Peter Parkers who are still alive, but that doesn’t mean that the Spidey fans who are upset that he’s dead are any happier. Nor were the Nightcrawler fans when X-TREME X-MEN and UNCANNY X-FORCE were running. Your point about those versions of the character are just a smokescreen to try to create a metaphoric club that you can hit people with. You’re unhappy that Nightcrawler is dead, I get it.
