Nightcrawler's Mommy Issues With Destiny (X-Men Forever #4 Spoilers)

In Uncanny Spider-Man, it was revealed that Nightcrawler's mother was not Mystique as previously believed, but Destiny,

In the Uncanny Spider-Man series, it was revealed that the mother of Kurt Wagner, Nightcrawler, was not Mystique as previously believed, but Destiny, Irene Adler. And that the shape-shifting Mystique, Raven Darkholme, was Nightcrawler's father, as originally planned by Chris Claremont. This was new information to all involved, to one degree or another, thanks to a series of memory wipes and circumstantial evidence.

X-Men Forever #4, the final issue by Kieron Gillen and Luca Maresca, is published on Wednesday from Marvel Comics.
