NightCrawler was exhausted from porting both rogue and Hope several miles at a time, Bastion intercepted them. Rogue fought him with a bunch of powers she'd taken but it wasn't enough, Bastion was going to kill hope, night crawler ported to Hope, Bastion intercepted him and put an arm through his chest. Nighcrawler then made one last port with Hope to hundreds of miles away on utopia, while taking Bastion's arm with them. This shut him down long enough for Rogue to escape as well. Nighcrawler died in Hope's arms.xbox hero said:Wait...What?He stuck his arm out and impaled him self because he teleported?Sorry,I havent read the comics as much as I've watched the cartoon.So,what affect does this have on him?Please answer,Im damn curious!
I don't think it was a bad death necessarily. What was terrible was the funeral issue afterwards, it felt too rushed and at an inappropriate time, as they were under imminent attack and had others who were KIA or missing.
