History: Very little is known about Mystique's past; due to her powers, even her age is uncertain. At an unspecified point in the past, Mystique met and fell in love with the blind mutant seer Irene Adler. Together, they have helped raise the young woman who calls herself Rogue as their foster daughter.
Mystique grew concerned about the fate of her fellow mutants, and in an effort to prevent their exploitation or potential genocide began the terrorist organization known as the Mutant Liberation Front, composed primarily of mutant mercenaries and criminals. In order to gain access to government files, Mystique adopted the persona of an aide to a United States senator.
Mystique first came to the public's attention when she led the MLF in a public assassination attempt on SHIELD director Henry Peter Gyrich at the unveiling of SHIELD's new robotic Sentinel enforcers. Although unsuccessful in the assassination, due in no small part to the interference of the mutant adventurers known as the X-Men, Mystique later came to regard the attempt as a victory, as the United States Congress has begun taking a closer look at Gyrich's actions.
Mystique continues to lead the Mutant Liberation Front. Recent actions, however, have strained her relationship with Rogue.

Known Superhuman Powers: Mystique is a metamorph, with the mutant power to make herself look and sound like any person of either gender she has a chance to study. She is able to control her skin pigmentation, eye color, hair color and length, and even her height and build to a slight extent, adjusting her height by several inches while maintaining her overall weight. Mystique's control is such that she is able to fool retina scanners, fingerprint readers, and voice-print software. Her skill is such that she is able to use her powers to greatly retard her body's aging.

For all her noble intentions, Mystique is a sociopath. The only person she cares about is Destiny; she views her foster daughter, Rogue, as someone with abilities she can use. Mystique is willing to lie to, steal from, and kill anyone who gets in her way.
