Mr. and Mrs. Wagner are the adoptive parents of Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler.
History[]
Mr. and Mrs. Wagner were first mentioned in the first episode, with Charles stating that they sent Kurt to the Institute where he could belong.
They are later seen in a flashback as having seen a baby Kurt floating down the river and fishing him out. They express surprise at the baby's appearance but nonetheless they take him in and raise him.
They are physically seen in the present in the episode On Angel's Wings where they are shown greeting their son at the airport.
Personality[]
Not much is known about Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, what is known is that they love their son a lot. They found Kurt in a river, saved him, and raised him as their own, no questions asked. Kurt mentions that his parents were very nice if a bit strict but they were also vague regarding how they found him, never giving him the full details. This, combined with the fact that they sent Kurt to the Institute, suggests that they are both very caring and protective parents.
Trivia[]
- In the comics, Kurt was raised by the sorceress Margali Szardos alongside his adoptive brother and sister.
- In the comics, the last name "Wagner" came from his step-father, Baron Christian Wagner, whom his mother Mystique had cheated on.
