The X-Men’s Nightcrawler Will Be Getting Permanent Horns Like Hellboy

Spinning out of some late-night bar gossip at New York Comic-Con is the word that the X-Men character Kurt Wagner, better known as Nightcrawler, will be getting horns in the X-books. Currently leading the Legion Of X title by Si Spurrier, Rafael Pimentel and Netho Diaz, cover images (seen below) show a Nightcrawler with huge horns, and spikes all over, but I am told that a) this is not some temporary aberration but b) expect smaller horns to be standard on Nightcrawler going forward. Not a curse, not a secondary mutation but… something else. And that will remain with him though Krakoan resurrection…
