Nightcrawler starred in an ongoing book titled ''Way of X'', written by [[Simon Spurrier|Si Spurrier]] and illustrated by Bob Quinn. It was announced in January 2021 for an April 2021 debut as part of the X-Men line's ''[[Reign of X]]'', following the conclusion of ''[[X of Swords]]'' crossover. It is billed as a smart, psychedelic tale about faith, science, culture, love and law.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Writer Si Spurrier Previews the New X-Men Series, 'Way of X'|url=https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/simon-spurrier-interview-xmen-nightcrawler-series-way-of-x|access-date=2021-07-24|website=Marvel Entertainment|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=The 'Reign of X' Brings New X-Men Series From Jonathan Hickman, Gerry Duggan, and More|url=https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/reign-of-x-xmen-series-jonathan-hickman-gerry-duggan-announcement|access-date=2021-07-24|website=Marvel Entertainment|language=en}}</ref>

Kurt Wagner is a [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] whose primary mutant power is the ability to [[Teleportation|teleport]] himself, his clothing, and a certain amount of additional mass from one point to another virtually instantaneously. He does this by displacing himself through an alternate dimension briefly and reappearing in a desired, pre-selected location. He has been shown to be able to teleport distances of up to {{Convert|2|mi|4=0|spell=in}} under optimal conditions, although this is usually his outer limit, and he can become severely fatigued if he tries to teleport that distance; he has exceeded this limit on multiple occasions. In one case, he teleported somewhere over {{cvt|50|mi}}.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #467–468. Marvel Comics</ref> Via coordinates received telepathically from Professor Xavier, Nightcrawler has teleported an unknown (but presumably large) distance.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #300. Marvel Comics</ref> In a final, dying effort to rescue the mutant-messiah Hope, he teleported them both from [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]] to the mutant safehold Utopia, just off the coast of [[San Francisco]], [[California]], a distance of more than {{cvt|410|mi|km|sigfig=2}}. Nightcrawler's teleportation ability is also affected by direction—north-south along Earth's "magnetic lines of force" is easier than east–west against them.<ref>Claremont, Chris (w). "Rogue Storm!".''The Uncanny X-Men'' #147 (July 1981), p. 2. Marvel Comics.</ref>
His effective teleport range was extended after his revival both due to outside assistance and a later enhancement to his powers, thanks to a deal he made with a demonic race of [[Bamf#Race|Bamfs]] loaned to him by Azazel. Nightcrawler can warp greater distances by locking onto them as a form of waypoint marker to teleport longer distances, even trans-dimensional ones.<ref name="ReferenceA"/><ref>''Nightcrawler'' vol. 4 #11–12. Marvel Comics.</ref> Beyond the use of his own demonic companions Kurt can now seemingly transport himself longer distances without tiring, be they local or continental in range, having teleported over {{cvt|7,800|mi|sigfig=2}} from the UAE (United Arab Emirates) to [[Antarctica]],<ref>''Civil War II'' #1. Marvel Comics.</ref> and again traveling over {{cvt|2,900|mi|sigfig=2}} from the [[Czech Republic]] to [[Egypt]].<ref>''Extraordinary X-Men'' #13. Marvel Comics.</ref> He possesses a limited unconscious extrasensory "[[Spatial–temporal reasoning|spatial awareness]]" ability which prevents him from teleporting into solid objects within his immediate vicinity, but this ability diminishes the greater the distance he teleports. Because teleporting into other solid matter would cause severe injury or death, he will only teleport to an area he is familiar with or that he can clearly see at the time or has seen in the past. His power automatically displaces liquids{{Volume needed|c=y|date=June 2014}} and gases when he arrives
The process of teleportation places a strain on his endurance and that of any passengers; carrying mass other than his body and clothing when teleporting adds additional strain to his body. Through practice, he has been able to teleport with a passenger over a long distance without exhausting himself. Extensive training has raised his tolerance for teleportation, but most of his passengers lack this tolerance. Therefore, one of his tactics is to grab opponents and make several quick teleportations with them. They usually become weakened or even pass out from the strain.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=June 2014}}
