Biography
Mystique's background, her true name, and even her age are a mystery. It is known that in the mid-seventies, she became pregnant and left her son with the Szardos clan of gypsies. A firm believer in Magneto's ideology, it has been presumed that at some point in her life Mystique had an encounter or series of encounters that motivated her undying contempt and hatred for homo sapiens.
On many occasions, Mystique has used her powers of shapeshifting for the benefit of Magneto and the Brotherhood, but her power coupled with a devious mind and intractable feminine wiles are her greatest asset. On numerous occasions, including breaking Magneto out of prison and attempting to sway Forge to the side of the Brotherhood, she has relied on subtlety and seduction instead of violence and intimidation.
In 2003, she actually replaced Bobby Drake for a number of months at Xavier's, giving Magneto a significant amount of intelligence into the X-Men's operations and prompting a higher degree of security from the team.
Following the events in Tibet, her status and whereabouts were unknown, although it was believed she was captured by Chinese authorities whilst unconscious. She later appeared in Berlin with other Brotherhood members, to disrupt an anti-mutant rally and target the father of her son, Baron Eric Wagner. In September 2007 it came to light through Irene Adler's diaries that Mystique had fathered another X-Man - Rogue.
She was with the Brotherhood when they hijacked the secret Russian space station and took control of a satellite weapons system put in orbit by a rogue group within the Russian military. She survived the breakup of the station, crashing in Siberia and escaping after a fight with several X-Men. She later appeared again, involved in the capture and interrogation of several younger X-Men, although her motives remain unknown given the information the prisoners were asked for was something that does not actually exist.
Powers/Abilities
Mystique is a shapeshifter with complete control over her physical form. She can adopt any humanoid form, complete with perfect physical, behavioral, and vocal mimcry that has fooled experts. She does, however, retain her own smell which can be discerned by those with enhanced senses. Although her mind and thoughts remain her own when she mimics someone, she has had training in fooling telepaths, and this skill makes her possibly the most effective impersonator on the planet.
Mystique's shapeshifting allows her a very limited healing factor, although she has been known to retain scars from former severe injuries, such as when Wolverine stabbed her. Whether this is a natural phenomenon or simply force of habit is unknown.
