Villains Being Awesome: Momstique

[auggie18]

So, I'm pretty sure I already did a post about Mystique being a mom, but it's worth a second look. Mystique's one consistent good feature is her love for Rogue, though good might be stretching it a bit. It does frequently border on the obsessive and creepy. And stabby. And murder-y.




Chris Claremont made her a bit more sympathetic in X-Men Forever, though still a bit underhanded. She arranged for the two of them to switch powers, allowing Rogue to touch people and Nightcrawler to go out in public without getting hounded.




God, I love the two of them being brother-sisterish at each other.





'course, they did have some moments in the 616.








Aw, creepy hug. Someone's gonna get murdered.







Awesome might be stretching it a bit, but I do like it when Mystique has a more maternal side. Even if it is a bit murder-y.

For a moment I thought RogueCrawler was Nocturne.
