Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner): zodiac sign and birth chart

Nightcrawler has no canon birthday. Marvel never gives Kurt Wagner one, and the comics, cartoon and films each age him differently. Read from his personality, he's a Gemini: five placements in the same air sign, the jokester who teleports out of trouble and teases the team the whole way. Aries Mars is the swashbuckler who jumps in first.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Gemini.

We ran Nightcrawler through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as air first: playful, quick and impossible to pin down.

No canon birthdayNever given in the comics, the series or the films

NEBO's take

Gemini SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    Gemini plays. Kurt teleports in a puff of smoke, then makes a joke while everyone else catches up.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    A Gemini Moon holds two things at once. He is devout and funny in the same breath.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeGemini

    No birth time in canon. First impression: a flash of smoke, a grin and a tail swishing behind a stranger.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    Gemini Mercury talks his way through. He disarms people with warmth before they have time to be afraid.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    Gemini Venus flirts and charms. He is gentle with nearly everyone, and his friends get the best jokes.

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries

    Aries Mars goes first. Kurt in Excalibur is a fencer who treats danger like an adventure.

What canon does give: a blue-skinned circus kid who handles everyone's fear with a joke and a prayer. Gemini is the sign of wit as a way of meeting the world.
