Complete Guide To Every X-Men Character Who Returned After Death

4. Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler Death
Marvel Comics

How Did He Die?

Nightcrawler died a hero, saving the life of mutant messiah Hope, catching a sentinel arm right through his chest in doing so. With his last breath, he teleported Hope out of danger, and told the distraught young mutant that he believed in her. This was right around the time that Cable died as well, so it was kind of a tough week for Hope.

How Did He Come Back?

Nightcrawler literally jumped out of heaven and back to life, so as to continue thwarting his father Azazel's nefarious plans - even at the cost of his soul. Man, Nightcrawler is the best.
