History[]
Before Death[]
Dr. Herman Manglar was geneticist sentenced to imprisonment in the Glades Penitentiary for engineering monstrous creatures in his laboratory. Sharing a cell with Blackthorne Shore, Manglar was able to escape when the sentient computer, Cypheroid, engineered Blackthorne's liberation. Unfortunately, while fleeing through the swamp waters, Manglar took a misstep and met his horrific demise in a pool of illegally dumped toxic sludge.
Rebirth[]
Later, Blackthorne recovers his decayed remains and enlists the morbid touch of D'Compose to reanimate Manglar in the twisted, monstrous body of Nightcrawler. Working from chemicals purloined by the mutated minions of Blackthorne's phony "Brother Druid" cult, Nightcrawler's first assignment is to apply his scientific skills toward creating a formula to protect D'Compose against the sun's burning rays. Although Nightcrawler claimed to have succeeded in his task, and indeed was unaffected by sunlight on later occasions, he and Blackthorne are arrested by Earth Corps before D'Compose tests the formula to painfully discover that it is ineffective. Blackthorne manages to buy a pardon for himself and Nightcrawler, but when D'Compose attacks their court hearing seeking retribution for the formula's failure, they realize that they will need a new Inhumanoid ally for their own protection. Once the two villains secure the beastly Gagoyle from its nesting grounds and have tamed it to some degree, Nightcrawler turns on Blackthorne, hurling him into Gagoyle's feeding pit to coerce a promise of subservience from him. Blackthorne flees during a clash with the Redwoods. Nightcrawler subsequently takes Gagoyle to strong-arm a surrender from D'Compose, but Metlar refuses to comply and Gagoyle is destroyed in their fight. Blackthorne soon makes his return with the powerful Inhumanoid, Sslither, under his control, whose threat presses Nightcrawler into forging an alliance with Earth Corps. Thereafter struck by an electrical bolt from Sslither, Nightcrawler flees the battle. Three months later, Nightcrawler teams with Blackthorne and the Inhumanoids as they set aside their differences in order to sabotage the presidential election: Nightcrawler is seen tainting a lake with hazardous waste that consumes the boat, and nearly the life, of one of the opposing candidates.
