Mystique

Mystique (Raven Darkhölme) is a fictional character associated with the Marvel Comics' franchise X-Men.

Created by artist David Cockrum and writer Chris Claremont, she first appeared in Ms. Marvel #16.

Throughout most of her history, Mystique has been a supervillain, founding her own Brotherhood of Mutants and assassinating several important people involved in mutant affairs.

Mystique herself is a mutant, a shapeshifter whose natural appearance includes blue skin and yellow eyes.

At one point, she mentions that she is over 100 years old.

Mystique is the mother of the villain Graydon Creed, the X-Men hero Nightcrawler, and adoptive mother of the heroine Rogue.

She is forced to abandon Nightcrawler, but raises Rogue for a number of years, and the two women have mixed feelings towards one another.

Despite Mystique's history of crime, she works with the X-Men's Professor X in a short-lived series.

She is later voted straight into the X-Men.

Mystique appears in five of the X-Men films: she was portrayed by actress Rebecca Romijn in the first three installments, while Jennifer Lawrence portrayed a younger version of the character in X-Men: First Class (in which Romijn has a cameo) and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

In 2009, Mystique was ranked as IGN's 18th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.
