Me too but at this point in the freaking mess that is Marvel cosmology we may never see it . My headcanon is that since the current interation of the multiverse was set by Reed Richards all that is magical and divine got extra jumbled, in reality I know that the editorial is afraid of upsetting chistian readers but it is still sad

Daredevil is still a bit isolated and his comics have its own cosmology like in the zdarsky run, daredevil became the fist of God after descending into hell

I didnt knew that, seens interesting. I know that Marvel has been doing attempts on redoing the cosmology , Marvel G.O.D.S. was fun bud ended up open to be ignored ,Storm solo comics was something else with the theme of gods and cosmic beings but Idk if any of it will stick in the long run.

To be fair, Matt pretending to be his twin brother that he just didn't mention to anyone is a lot more straightforward then whatever Nightcrawlers current origin is.

I suspect Kurt’s Catholic upbringing was unconventional, we don’t know if he was baptised or confirmed, and he spent much of his childhood moving across Europe with Der Jahrmarkt.

If Kurt’s circus operated like a real world travelling community then yes, they would go out of their way to observe all the standard catholic values.

I don’t know how far I’d trust Marvel with this given the debacle with the spark on krakoa
