Agility and Reflexes?

How quick and agily is Nightcrawler? I am assuming he is slower than Spider-Man from what I have seen but is he greater than Wolverine and Gambit?

Yes. He's more Spiderman, Beast level agility.

Spider-Man is the most agile in Marvel, if you not count Spider-Girl. Nightcrawler or Beast is a few steps lower in agility. Gambit is nowhere near any of them, and Wolverine even further down on the agility-o-meter. Metal skeleton is heavy.

Never seen Beast pull off a move Gambit couldn't or hasn't done.

I just took a quick look in the X-Men handbook. It says that Gambit has near super-human agility and dexterity while Beast has super-human agility and dexterity.

I know what it says.

@Copy, Ummm yeah i didnt say he WAS AS AGILE AS SPIDERMAN. The measuring stick was, is he closer to Spiderman or to Gambit. Pay attention homes.

Gambit's agility is tops for a regular human. Beast and Nightcrawler are superhuman due to their mutation. Although, if you think about it, Mr. Fantastic would be incredibly agile...

nightcrawler is less than spiderman but much better than gambit. His flexible bones also helps in his agility alot.

Nightcrawler may be more agile then Gambit, but Marvel doesn't do a good job of showing this. I've never seen Nightcrawler do a move Gambit hasn't or couldn't do himself.

Yes I know Beast is more agile then Gambit, so is Nightcrawler. What I said was.....forget it. I'm tired of repeating myself.

But since Beast is so large, wouldn't he still be unable to do things that Nightcrawler and Gambit can do?

Nightcrawler has more agility then Spider-man but slower reflexes.
He is also more agility then Gambit and their reflexes are equal.

No. He's nowhere near Spider-Man.

I think Kurt is just one level below Spider-Man, 'cause of his flexible spine.
