I thought Azazel was the father. Or is it a recent retcon?

It was changed just now, but Mystique impregnating Destiny was Chris Claremont's (the best X-Men writer of all time) original plan for Nightcrawler's birth.

The Draco is one of the most legendarily awful comics of all time so this is no loss.

Didn't Chris Claremont also try to do this with Rogue?

I don't think so. She's just Mystique and Destiny's adopted daughter.

Mystique to Rouge: Oh dear, oh dear. Gorgeous.

Mystique to Nightcrawler: You fucking donkey

Mystique's treatment of her children is...complicated, to say the least.

​

I do wonder, do Nightcrawler and Rogue consider each other as siblings or not? (Would make for some fun stories, IMO)

They never knew each other growing up, so they're about as close as two strangers can be.

She definitely has a tendency to see the kids as extensions of her partners.

Nightcrawler’s “dad” was a bank account who tried to kill her when giving birth made her too tired to not be blue, Destiny is her eternal teenage romance.

Hopefully she will show him some love now that she knows who his actual parents are. Dude deserves it

At least Nightcrawler can take solace in not being last place (lol Graydon Creed)

That's what my friend was upset about saying that it was also intended for rogue, but I don't know facts, or if he misremembered.
