Little was known about Mystique's past due to the fact that she could eliminate the outward signs of aging with her shape-changing power; it was not known exactly how old she was. She apparently learned to use her shape-changing power at a very early age which made her family fear her, for there is no evidence known to the public or the government that Raven Darkholme ever looked like anything but a normal human being.
She may not be the mutant named in the movie title, but X-Men: Apocalypse is shaping up to be a Mystique-centered story. Last month it was revealed that the film would touch upon her relationship with Beast.
True to her name, the shape shifting Mystique is an enigma. Is she a mutant terrorist determined to bring about the end of humanity, or a misguided mutant with a good heart?
First portrayed by Rebecca Romijn, and more recently by Jennifer Lawrence, Mystique has become one of the central characters in the X-Men films. Trailers and posters for X-Men: Apocalypse have consistently put her center stage, so that's not likely to change any time soon!
