Gr8Kat, hate to break it to you, but yes, according to the comics, Mystique is Nightcrawler’s mother. His father was some German nobleman, and after she had a blue furry baby with a tail, she messed up and shifted to her natural form, ran away and tricked the mob chasing her by shifting into a peasant who threw the baby over a waterfall(?). Said baby was found by a traveling circus and that’s where he got his name from. In the Age of Apocolypse fiasco, he went by Kurt Darkholme.
My big question is how the heck Mystique and Sabretooth can have a fully human son together (Greydon Creed).
Phouka, thanks for clarifying. Yes, that statement was a bit ambiguous. I meant Prof X is American. I really do dig Patrick Stewart, but I haven’t seen him lose that gravelly english accent in anything so far. If he can’t do it, I think he’ll make a great Prof X.

As far as the nude Mystique, I’m sure it’s for one scene only. I’m guessing she’s demonstrating her shape-shifting for Magneto, and, the detached scientist that he sometimes is, he simply wants to see everything when she makes herself change. The picture is aiming for a PG-13 rating, like Titanic, and that had a topless Kate Winslet in it. I just wanna know who had the “task” of painting Rebecca Romijn-Stamos blue? Where do I apply for a job like that? drool
