Mystique is a fictional character associated with the Marvel Comics' franchise X-Men. Originally 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 hero Rogue. She is forced to abandon Nightcrawler, but raises Rogue for a number of years, and the 2 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.
Actress Rebecca Romijn portrayed Mystique in all 3 of the X-Men films. In the 2011 superhero film, X-Men: First Class, Jennifer Lawrence plays the role of Mystique. In 2009, Mystique was ranked as IGN's 18th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time.
