Must See Episodes[]

Personality[]

Mystique has extraordinary impulsive issues, which leads her to get defeated and beaten extremely easily by others. She also has a degree of superiority complex, as she always feels the need to be in control of others, even when there are those around her with greater authority. In addition, she can hold grudges against those that get in her way.

Physical appearance[]

Mystique's Outfits

Mystique's more natural form revealed that she had light blue skin, bright, red, hair that slightly went over her shoulders but which ended on her back, she also wore a navy blue lipstick. Her eyes often shifted to have a yellow sclera with a black iris or a grey iris with a white sclera. A yellow, triangular shaped gem was placed upon her forehead.

Outfits[]

During her time as Principal of Bayville High School, Mystique was known by the school as Principal Darkhölme, she was a tall woman with short black hair who wore a grey buttoned up blouse that was accompanied by a matching skirt with mundane brown tights, a lilac shirt with a pair of white earrings. Once the X-Men discovered their Principal and enemy were one in the same, Mystique renounced her identity as Principal Darkhölme and left the school under mysterious circumstances.

When as her natural self, Mystique wore a white, sleeveless but long dress with a purple skim-suit under it, her shoes were a pair of matching white boots that reached up to her thighs as well as a pair of white fingerless gloves that almost went up to her shoulders. After returning to The Brotherhood, Mystique wore a black, two-pieced outfit with the top being up to her neck as it also exposed her stomach. Her skirt was short with two slits at the top, she wore short black leather boots that reached just over ankle with a piece of black matching fabric tied to her wrist.

Powers and Abilities[]

Mystique possesses the ability to shapeshift into whoever or whatever she chooses as long as she had a fair idea of who or what she was morphing into. Her shapeshifting powers also allow her to retain the fingerprints and voice pattern of those she transformed into although she cannot replicate the power of a mutant if she turned into any of her enemies. Whenever morphed, she is also able to mask her scent from those even with enhanced senses such as Logan. After being greatly enhanced by Apocalypse after being turned into Pestilence, Mystique's powers vastly improved temporarily until she along with the other three were saved.

Steven E. Gordon's interpretation of Mystique[]

"I was never happy with the original Mystique I designed. I felt that she had a very dated feel, but the clock was ticking and we just ran out of time. The second design was influenced by having seen the film and also a better understanding of what Mystique needed to be as a character. If we could have gotten away with a nude - look like in the film we would have, but I don't think Kids WB was quite ready for that. I also tried to make her more physically imposing and look more like a female weight-lifter - more in the vein of an Adam Hughes character. But that didn't go over very well so I settled for a more slimmed down version"
