At one point there is a slight attraction between Nightcrawler and Marvel Girl — manifesting in a kiss -- but nothing else came of it.

Nightcrawler was balancing his feelings towards Marvel Girl and an attraction to Storm at the same time, while Storm was in somewhat of a romantic " friendship " with Wolverine.

Later, Nightcrawler served as the new leader of the Uncanny X-Men team alongside Wolverine, Bishop, Psylocke, Cannonball, and Marvel Girl.

In the last mission against the Foursaken, Nightcrawler took Marvel Girl, Psylocke, Bishop, and Cannonball to Central Park.

Afterwards, Professor X recruited him, along with Darwin, Havok, Marvel Girl, Warpath, and Polaris, to participate in a space mission to stop Vulcan from laying waste to the Shi ' ar empire.

Over time, a few Marvel Comics writers lobbied Marvel editors to incorporate the idea of a Multiverse resembling DC's parallel worlds ; this plot device allows one to create several fictional universes which normally do not overlap ( see below or Multiverse for more information ).

Exiles is an offshoot of the X-Men franchsie that allows characters to hop from one alternative reality to another, leaving the original, main Marvel Universe intact.

For instance, a Mises blog entry notes that a bakery is refusing to put Disney characters on its customized birthday cakes, lest it be liable for infringement ; another blog criticizes the Marvel Comics lawsuit over the City of Heroes game that allows players to create characters that resemble those from its comic books.

After swearing never to kill again, his subsequent hesitation to do so, further compounded by an illusion in which Blink claims to no longer love him, allows the villain Proteus to possess him when the Exiles visit the House of M version of the regular Marvel Universe.

This allows Marvel Girl's own consciousness to resurface.

Perhaps the most popular and well-known CMG to date is HeroClix, which allows players to create battles between characters from the Marvel and DC Comics comic book universes, as well as certain smaller publishers.

Nocturne is a code name used by four separate fictional characters in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Other Marvel characters formerly associated with the code name " Nocturne " include Angela Cairn, Night Raven, and a vampiric foe of First Line team member Black Fox.

Nocturne is from an alternative reality outside the main Marvel Universe ( Earth-616 ).

Nocturne, and the Exiles, go to the main Marvel Universe where they meet the X-Men after Havok's cancelled wedding.

The demeanor of the main Marvel Universe Nightcrawler is very similar to that of the Nightcrawler from Nocturne ’ s reality, so the two develop a close bond that resembles a father-daughter relationship.

Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four eventually deciphered the mission's meaning: Beak of the X-Men has to go with the Exiles and Nocturne has to stay behind in the main Marvel Universe.

During the House of M reality, Nocturne is sought by Callisto's Marauders for having royal Magnus blood ( because she is an alternate reality daughter of Scarlet Witch, a fact she doesn't remember due to her extradimensional origin which left her amnesiatic ), but is protected by Psylocke and Marvel Girl.
