Nightcrawler's a Marvel character, he's a member of the second generation of X-Men when they expanded into a more international cast. He's a German who joined alongside Storm (African) Colossus (Russian) and Wolverine (Canadian). The blue fellow in the 2nd or 3rd live film.

Nightwing has a slightly similar costume, but Dick debuted in that costume in 1984 whereas Nightcrawler debuted in 1975, so he got there first.
