Hey, everyone. Funny that this should be my first post.
I'd never even heard of Nocturne until I went into this other forum and used her as my avatar. All I thought was "Wow, she's pretty. And she's blue with pointed ears. How many people could she be related to?"
I always liked the Mystique/Rogue/Nightcrawler family so the fact that it's even bigger is awesome. I'm a little confused on how it all works since I don't get to read near as much as I'd like, but still, thanks to everyone in here for their helpful information and wicked pics.

Comes from Latin. Means 'for this', an immediate action or assemblage with no forethought of later. Basically, Iceman, Havok, Juggernaut, Nocturne, Polaris, Wolverine and Northstar have assembled in the woods near the mansion with the purpose of stopping it's assailants.
When Wolverine starts appearing in Avengers, if Marvel plays it smart and removes him from the X-books, I'd hazard a guess that Nocturne will be his replacement in the adjectiveless X-Men.
I'm just hoping they take him out of the X-teams for awhile. They say they're striving for a greater sense of continuity, yet having a guy on 4 teams at the same time would be stretching it. X-23 on Uncanny as his replacement, Colossus on Astonishing and Nocturne on regular sounds good. As long as a plausible, and not altogether trite story can be told to explain X-23.
