In the 2003 film X2, what is the name of the mutant who can teleport?

The story behind the answer

In the 2003 film X2, the mutant who can teleport is Nightcrawler.

Nightcrawler appears in the film’s opening sequence, using his teleportation ability to infiltrate the White House. His blue appearance, pointed tail and acrobatic fighting style make him one of the movie’s most distinctive new characters.

Alan Cumming plays Nightcrawler. The character’s real name is Kurt Wagner, and the film gives him a religious background that becomes important during conversations with Storm and other members of the X-Men.

Nightcrawler’s teleportation is shown through bursts of smoke and rapid movement. Other X-Men films feature teleporting mutants, including Blink, but Blink belongs to the later film Days of Future Past and uses portals rather than Nightcrawler’s signature short-range teleportation.
