Pretty much just Nightcrawler

Master post to the X-men evolution fan comic The cage

Got your back

I've been drawing to much cute stuff lately, so here's some outtakes from day six of The Cage.

Tw: Blood, violence and cleaning wounds under cut.

The way I need Kurt and his three rescues (Forge, Boom-Boom, and Morph) to be the weirdest, most unhinged friend-group just constantly causing headaches for Charles, Logan, Ororo, & Hank! 😆

He's a very empathetic guy <3 Like Boom-Boom's case that also sometimes ends up with him getting taken advantage of. Though I don't imagine he has any hard feelings since he's rather forgiving - and did also seem to enjoy her pushing him around a bit.

And Forge in Evolution - man, one of the reasons I wrote the cage is because of how the absolute horror he experienced just got hand-waved away! The only way I can justify him being trapped with no human connection for over TWENTY YEARS is that the passage of time feels a lot different in the middleverse dimension. And that he must have gone a little insane to be able to handle it even then. Crazy episode.

Thank you and my bad for taking so long to answer this!

I don't have any plans on drawing Morphs backstory but my idea of it loosely is:

0-13: Pretty happy life, is shape shifted to look normal in public and is cared for by parents.

14- 16: Mom dies, relationship with dad deteriorates. They're kicked out/runs away from home.

16-17: Homeless, drifting around using their shape shifting to get by. Eventually get's the attention of the wrong people.

around 17-18: Sinister.

18-19: Jardine.
