History


Daughter of Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch, Nocturne inherited her father's blue fur, three-toed hands and feet, a tail, yellow eyes and pointed ears, as well as an energy blasting ability like her mother's "hex bolts." As a second-generation mutant, however, Nocturne also developed her own mutant power, the ability to physically possess another person and influence their movements for up to one lunar cycle, hence her codename. Talia also possesses a limited form of telepathy, and a retractable tail.

In Nocturne's home reality, which seems to be about 20 years ahead of Earth-616, her father leads the X-Men along with Wolverine.

The following facts about this world are known:

  • Wolverine was once possessed by the Shadow King who used him to assassinate Professor X, however, Wolverine himself was crippled in the fight as well and now requires crutches to get around.
  • The deaths of Charles Xavier and Jean Grey (although the cause of Jean's death has not been told) caused Cyclops to snap and leave the team joining this reality's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
  • Cyclops' Brotherhood consisted of: Cyclops, the Blob, White Dwarf, Rogue (who appears to have absorbed the power of the Super Skrull), The Beast (not to be confused with Hank McCoy), the Swarm (a collective of arachnid like creatures), and Radioactive Man.
  • Apocalypse created a son by joining his genetic material with that of Jean Grey, and harvesting his son from her body sometime before her death. He rejected his father's goals and joined the X-Men as Armageddon the son of Apocalypse.
  • Colossus sacrificed his life to save his sister by merging his soul with a demon from Limbo and leaving his body as an empty husk.

Other characters mentioned or seen existing in this time line are Moira MacTaggert, who treats the young mutant Plague, a mutant healer who has become an animated skeleton after absorbing the Legacy Virus and was unable to dispell it from his body. The Hellfire Club is also mentioned to exist in this reality, as the Timebroker stated that if Nocturne didn't help the Exiles fix reality her father would be killed by this group (as this was used as a method to get the Exiles to help the Timebreakers to fix reality, this probably not come to pass.)

Talia grew up with the X-Men, who at this time consisted of: Wolverine (team leader, would not inguage in active combat as he is mortally injured), Nightcrawler (Team leader), Shadowcat (Who was later in an chrono-displacement accident and was replaced with her younger self just after she joined the X-Men), Thunderbird (James Proudstar), Phoenix (The Phoenix force inhabiting the empty body of Colossus), and Armageddon the son of Apocalypse. TJ became immune to the queasiness usually induced by her dad's teleportation after riding on his back through hundreds of 'ports when she was a kid. She became a full member of the team, and also had a band called Butt Monkeys. It appears she was involved with James Proudstar (Thunderbird) in this reality. For a long time she lived in her father's shadow, and he trained her very hard, often at the expense of her feelings. However, when Cyclops attacked the mansion with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, TJ was out with Kitty Pryde. Upon returning and seeing the attack, TJ was able to rally the students to help delay the attack, she then possessed her teammate Armageddon, a telekinetic, to free Wolverine and kill the insane Cyclops. Having proved her skills and ability, she was able to reconcile somewhat with her father.

T.J. was the first member of the Exiles to become "unstuck in time," but she has never assumed any kind of leadership role, and maintains her freewheeling attitude. Over time, she became intimate with the Exiles' own Thunderbird, and she got pregnant from him. One of her hardest missions was the trial of Phoenix, in which she had to fight an incarnation of her "Aunt Jean," and had to ignore that world's version of her father during that difficult time. Outstripping it by far was the mission to a Skrull-dominated Earth, in which she (and the others) were forced to fight in gladiatorial combat against other super-beings. That mission ended with the arrival of Galactus, and with Thunderbird's self-sacrifice to save the world. Due to the stress of losing her lover, TJ lost the baby a few weeks later, an incident she kept secret for weeks. She has become withdrawn and depressed, and refuses to talk about her feelings.

Over time, TJ healed and became a mainstay of the team. On her first visit to Earth-616, she met and bonded with Nightcrawler (616), who thought that her parents' pairing was intriguing. Later, TJ was left behind on Earth-616, and was about to knock on the X-Mansion and see her "father" again when a mysterious stranger intercepted her and made her another offer.

A few months later, Nocturne showed up as a member of Exodus's Brotherhood in an attack on Philadelphia. While her teammates were mostly homicidal, Nocturne did her best to keep civilians out of harm's way. The X-Men defeated the Brotherhood, prompting Exodus to attack the X-Mansion, using Juggernaut as his ace in the hole. Juggernaut recognized TJ as a hero and seemingly beat her to a pulp. In fact, TJ told him she was trying to figure out Exodus's moves and Juggernaut told her he was undercover. When the fighting actually started, Nocturne was able to possess Black Tom Cassidy, the most dangerous foe, long enough for him to be swept into the black hole in Xorn II's head. Unfortunately, Nocturne was swept into the black hole too.

Nocturne and Juggernaut apparently ended up on Mojoworld, where they were sold to Mojo himself. Nocturne was able to possess Spiral and force her to open a portal to Earth, and they emerged in the Danger Room. However, though TJ's possessions usually knock her hosts out for 24 hours, Spiral was faking, and she kept the portal open to allow Mojo to follow TJ and Juggernaut back to Earth. Spiral changed them and the X-Men to babies (except the newly-resurrected Psylocke), but the X-Men managed to defeat Mojo and regain their rightful forms.

During the House of M reality, Nocturne was sought after by Callisto's Marauders for having royal Magnus blood (being an alternate daughter of the Scarlet Witch), but was protected by Psylocke and Marvel Girl. Marvel Girl allowed TJ to possess her in order to keep her out of the Marauder's reach, but Nocturne ended up taking control, and in a confused daze, flew up and out. Psylocke pursued, eventually culminating in a telekinetic blade battle, which Psylocke won. This allowed Marvel girl's own consciousness to resurface. After the House of M event, Nocturne joined New Excalibur, alongside Juggernaut, Sage, Dazzler, Captain Britain, and Pete Wisdom. During her time with New Excalibur, Nocturne has developed the ability to possess people without knocking them unconscious.
