Despite being a big Nightcrawler fan, I had the hardest time finding a point of entry to the character. I don't know if I actually figured one out, but this is what I ended up with.
1 - Establishing shot of the Superdome. It's Super Bowl Sunday and the game is in full swing.
CAPTION (NIGHTCRAWLER): As much as I enjoy seeing Beyoncé swing her hips, are we certain that the Brotherhood is actually planning on causing trouble this evening?
2 - Shot of Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Colossus sitting in the stands amongst other fans. Wolverine has a beer and some nachos, Colossus also has a beer and is reaching to have some of Wolverine's nachos, and Nightcrawler appears a little bored.
WOLVERINE: That's what our intel said, but I'm with ya. The only trouble I see right now is San Fran's bumbling down on the field.
3-5 - Shot of the field as the Ravens and 49ers are setting up for play. The image is divided into three panels. Panel 3 has all the power on, panel 4 has some of the lights going down, and panel 5 has the power off (and for comic book sake, we'll go with it being darker than it was in real life).
NO COPY
6 - Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler sit in the same spot as panel 2, but it is now way darker. Colossus has paused just before taking a bite of the nacho that he grabbed from Wolverine. The three men look concerned.
NIGHTCRAWLER: It appears we may have spoken too soon.
7 - Wolverine and Colossus are standing up, moving towards the stairs. Nightcrawler is already teleporting away to see what the problem is.
WOLVERINE: Let's move.
NIGHTCRAWLER: I'll see you down there.
SFX: BAMF
I love how timely this script is. I can easily imagine this being an actual in-universe reason for the blackout.
