History
Introduction and Weapon X
Kurt Wagner was a captive of the Weapon X project, and was, like Rogue and Wolverine, forced to become one of their mutant agents. However inhumane their treatment of him, Kurt refused to forgo his idealism and faith. He even managed to convince Storm not to take vengeance against the Weapon X commander, John Wraith. Killing Wraith, he said, would bring her to Wraith's level.
X-Men
Freed from Weapon X, Kurt returned to his home, but soon decided to join the X-Men when they needed help against Magneto and began attending Xavier’s school.
A friendly, humorous young man with a zest for high adventure, Kurt was well-liked among his teammates. He somewhat bonded with Angel, who is the only other X-Man besides himself who couldn't hide his mutation, and together they "misused" the Danger Room for "Pirates of the Caribbean-like" "role-playing" sessions.
Kurt became interested in teammate and friend Alison Blaire. He was saddened by the fact that Warren, too, was interested in Dazzler. Indeed, Dazzler and Angel soon became a couple, leaving Kurt the only X-Man without a significant other.
Piotr and Bigotry
Kurt also befriended Colossus. The two spent much of their time together. Eventually, Piotr came out, explaining that he was gay. Disgusted by Piotr's sexual orientation, Kurt saw their former friendship as dead. It could be implied that Kurt also harbored some homophobic feelings towards Piotr, likely due to his religious background. However, he overcame his bigotry stating that it was unfair, due to the fact that Colossus had treated him as a brother and apologized. He even joined Colossus' 'X-Men' team comprised of Dazzler, Rogue, Angel and himself, all under the influence of the drug Banshee.
Ultimatum
Kurt was killed as a cause of Magneto's Ultimatum wave.
