It is possible that I am thinking of the Nazi-Nightcrawler from a parallel dimension in an Excalibur storyline, but still, he is (or was, before he was wounded in the mutant massacre after teleporting WAY too much when trying to incapacitate Vertigo-- I stopped reading long enough ago that I don't know if he recovered) capable of teleporting that often, and striking right before teleporting again.
He is also a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, so I don't get what the problem was with the scene.
