—Mystique[source]I am a shape-shifter. An outcast, even among mutants, trusted by no one. I don't have a life of my own. I just steal little bits from other people's lives. But that's how I survive!
History
Mystique was the leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and was a close ally of Apocalypse.[2]
A shape-shifting mutant, Mystique had many forms throughout her life. She had two sons: Graydon Creed, with Sabretooth, and Nightcrawler, with a rich count. She abandoned Nightcrawler, after her husband was horrified to find out that she had given birth to a mutant, by placing him in a basket and leaving him in the river.[6]
She later became the leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants while she was working for Apocalypse. Though she didn't care about her own biological son, she took great interest in Rogue, her adopted daughter. She taught Rogue how to use her powers and manipulated her into taking orders, using her as a weapon.[7]
Rogue later left her, to join the X-Men. Mystique did all in her power to win her back, but was unsuccessful each time.[7] At some point, she was captured and forced to do slave work on the island of Genosha along with many others who were then freed by Gambit, Storm, and Jubilee.[8]
When Dr. Gottfried Adler was developing a cure for mutants, Apocalypse killed him and made Mystique take his place. She tricked mutants into undergoing the treatment, which actually turned them into slaves of Apocalypse. Ironically, her first "patient" was Rouge, but she changed her mind and decided to keep her powers.[2] When the X-Men found out that Apocalypse was behind the "cure", Rogue returned to "Adler's" laboratory and confronted Mystique, forcing her to tell the location of Apocalypse' command center.[9]
Apocalypse, hoping to turn the public against the X-Men and other mutants, ordered her to assassinate Senator Kelly while taking the form of Gambit. However, the X-Men were warned about the assassination by the time-traveler Bishop, causing the real Gambit to intervene before Mystique was able to kill the senator. She was captured, but revealed her identity to Rogue, convincing her foster daughter to help her escape.[3]
Years later, her eldest son Graydon had a "family reunion" and tried to kill her, Nightcrawler, and Rogue. Kurt (Nightcrawler) wanted answers from her, so she told him about the events leading up to her abandoning him. She told him that she didn't want him. Kurt said he would pray so that he and God would forgive her.
Creed then tried to shoot Nightcrawler, but Mystique saved him and fell into the water of the dam. The X-Men thought she died, but she was seen to have survived, with tears in her eyes.[6]Attributes
