POWERS/DEVICES

Teleportation +5: Nightcrawler can move instantly from one place to another without crossing the distance
between by entering his own dimension of sorts. As a half action he can “port” 25 ft. or 50 ft. as a Full action.
Kurt can also make a “sprint” teleport of up to 3200 ft. (about 5/8ths of a mile), but lose his dodge bonus to
Defence due to disorientation for one round after arriving at his destination. He can teleport only to places
he can see or knows particularly well. Force fields block teleportation and Kurt must succeed a Teleportation
check (DC 10 + Fields rank) to successfully teleport through one, a failed check means he doesn’t go anywhere.
He can carry around 50 pounds per Power rank of objects or characters with him when he teleports, unwilling
creatures receive a Will save opposed by his Teleport check, if they succeed they go nowhere but Kurt still
does. Via his Teleportation Kurt can teleport, make a melee attack, and teleport back to his starting position
as a full action, provided that the total distance moved does not exceed his normal teleportation distance.
Alternatively he can give up his normal actions for the round and make a melee attack against all opponents

Arnos Jardine, who ran a large circus based in Florida, heard of the circus

into his American circus. However, he demanded that Wagner be placed in HEADQUARTERS
the circus's freak show. Appalled, Wagner quit and made his way towards
Winzeldorf, Germany, where Stefan was. He discovered that Stefan had
gone mad and had brutally slain several children. Two nights after leaving
the circus, Wagner found Stefan and fought him, hoping to stop his ram-
page. In the course of the struggle, Wagner unintentionally broke Stefan's
neck. Then the villagers of Winzeldorf, who assumed him to be a demon who
was responsible for the child killings, discovered Wagner. They were about PERSONALITY

now lives in the United States under the name of Amanda Sefton. Known as
Nightcrawler, Wagner became a member of the X-Men. Nightcrawler
remained with the X-Men for years. Eventually, however, he became a

team's leader. Wagner has recently been told that his mother is the mu-

newborn child into a waterfall, yet Mystique may have wanted to mislead
