No one knows who Mystique is… this classic Marvel Comics character can be anybody she wants to be. Literally.

She’s truly the international woman of mystery. Mystique is the most alluring and secretive of Marvel characters. She can change into any person at any time, and even the strongest of mutants can’t discover who she really is.

With her long and tragic history, Mystique is one of the most iconic characters in the X-Men franchise, and today we’re celebrating her classic Marvel comic looks via cosplay.

While the 2000s X-Men movies featured a stripped down Mystique, the comics version of her has taken many forms. From leather suits to match the X-Men aesthetic down to this gorgeous white gown, you know it’s mystique when you see her.

She can change into any shape, but there is none more iconic than her deep blue skin, crimson hair, and piercing yellow eyes. We’re here to celebrate her iconic comic dress, with the white boots and skull decorations. Who doesn’t love a belt made entirely from the skulls of your enemies? Right?

“… Raven Darkholme is not a woman to be trifled with.”

“I have to admit, Danvers– –I never took you all that seriously.”

“I haven’t beaten a man with his own leg since Carter was in office…but I still remember how.”

“Dammit, Shortpack — they’re cloning me and killing the embryos just so rich humans can have soft and supple skin!”

“For your information, punchy, I just saved four mutants’ lives from that megalomaniacal scumbag!”

“Don’t flatter yourself. I may loathe you, but you don’t even make the top twenty. Besides, I’m more than used to working for arrogant men lately, so whoop-dee-doo.”

“Kid, my clothes are just an extension of my body. I’m always naked.”

“God, how many more times will I have to risk my life for you people before you start trusting me? [Awkward silence] Heh. You boys are smarter than you look…”

“Sorry, I know eleven languages……but Afrikaans is still on my to-do list.”
