So when the Age of Apocalypse Nightcrawler joined X-Force and came over to the 616, he had some goals of his own, namely revenge on AoA Iceman for betraying the X-Men, and AoA Blob, for killing and eating his wife Linda.
Who I don't think we ever see! I don't think she even appears in flashback, only dialog. It's like she came pre-fridged. It also seems like a pretty effective way to encourage murder, like if a telepath put the idea of avenging a spouse that never was in his head...that would involve someone having the motive to have AoA Blob killed, I suppose. Well, to prove myself wrong, the Marvel wiki has
one picture of poor dead
Linda, and in
X-Termination AoA Kurt was stalking the
616-Linda, just to make things creepy, maybe so he could be written out. (She also might've been based on Bruce Lee's wife? OK.) But anyway, we don't really see any of their relationship.
Regular Kurt does go hardcore in
Uncanny X-Men #700, where he teleports Apocalypse's eyes out of his head. That whole issue is more Kurt-heavy than about all of the Krakoa era, just as it wraps up! Apocalypse is also kind of done at the end there, like he's seen that mutants maybe don't need him anymore--if they ever did, which is debatable. I don't always, but I'm definitely putting my words in Kurt's mouth, calling him a "culty weirdo."

When AoA Kurt said “mutants had paradise but couldn’t keep it” I felt that one, as we humans basically had the same thing here our reality and f’ed it up too.
Wait, so his Linda was based off Bruce Lee’s Linda!? So that’s so random as hell.
I have to admit, I rather like the idea & visuals of Kurt ‘porting someone’s eyes out because he’s usually not that hardcore, so he was CLEARLY pushed into resorting to that. Good for him.
