The only reason I don't like this guy is that now I have no excuse to play the WoS Nightcrawler in my X-Force teams

For the shark to the stomach power, is the wording "use" and "possess" applicable? Can only powers a character can USE be countered?

Was this in an op kit?

Yes, but not one of the three-figure monthly ones.

They came, in UXM lol

new rules have given this guy a bit of a boost, HSS with ignores characters is way more valuable these days now you have to re-break away after your attack. give him a scarlet witch marker or crit weapon and suddenly he's nerfing figs on a more consistent basis too.

need to dig him out to play alongside some of his AoA compatriots.

WIN/LOSS: 2-2 LE Nightcrawler is a pricey option. His mobility is fantastic but his other values are average at best. The only reason he remains viable in 2019 is thanks to equipment. Giving him the Dueling Sword makes him a much more deadly assassin hunting down the stragglers.
