Putirfied/ Decaying flesh; Nightcrawler has only three digits (including an opposable thumb) on each hand. He also has and only 2 toes on each foot, each longer than an ordinary human's. He has a prehensile tail, approximately 3'6" long, which can support his own weight. Nightcrawler has pointed ears and pronounced fang-like canine teeth. His spine is more flexible than an ordinary human being's, allowing him to spend much of his time in a semi-crouching position without damaging his posture and enabling him to perform contortionist-like feats. His body is almost entirely covered with a fine indigo-colored fur.

HistoryEdit

Little is detailed about Kurt’s life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149, however it can be presumed that it followed much the same path as Nightcrawler (Earth-616).

Presumably, Kurt is at the Xavier Institute when it is attacked, and arrives at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier with the other X-Men and Magneto.

With the extremely varied bunch all assembled on the Helicarrier, Nick explains how serious he believes the situation to be; that it is the end of the world. He also explains that whatever the histories of those assembled, they are all on the same side. It can also be assumed that he was part of the team sent back down to the surface to battle the zombies, unsuccessfully, it would seem as when Beast and Reed Richards find a sizeable stash of meat in Latveria and the surrounding area, a zombified Nightcrawler and a huge horde zombies head off to lay siege to Castle Doomstadt. A few of them manage to get through the magical force-field protecting the castle, and confront Dr Doom, Scarlet Witch, and Ashley J. Williams. Scarlet Witch is bitten by the zombified Punisher, and the other two make their getaways.

Presumably, Kurt gets held up by the risen Deadite Legion, and at some point returns to New York, but his ultimate fate is unknown.
