During the five-part miniseries, he’ll cross paths with the anti-mutant group Orchis, and dig deeper into a mystery hanging over his birth mother, Mystique. Spurriercalled Uncanny the climactic chapter in his exploration of Nightcrawler that first started in Way of X, and also said it “leans hard into heroic, joyful, street-level action.”
