Any Way You Want It; Marvel's #2 Hottest Mutant Lady

Imagine, if you will, a female mutant with the subtle ability to assume the appearance and shapeliness of any human. Her voice would also adapt, resonating as soft or harsh as the original copy, fooling anyone and catching them off guard. Supplement that with the dark passion to manipulate (and sometimes assassinate) politicians and powerful people in high places. Does that seem like a useful, alluring talent?

Raven Darkholme, who goes by the codename "Mystique" clearly thinks so; as one of mutantkind's most extraordinary shape-shifters, she's spent most of her life imitating and infiltrating organizations, usually to thwart the human population. From Wolverine to Cyclops, from S.H.I.E.L.D. to H.Y.D.R.A., her sinuous body has been writhing through their ranks, uncovering plans and foiling missions.

Item of the Day: X-Men Evolution - Season 2, Volume 4: Mystique's Revenge

From Season 2, Volume 4 of X-Men Evolution, the animated series, Mystique took a starring role by vowing revenge on Xavier's mutant group while recruiting a counter-opposition of her own. X-Men Evolution was a very good rendition of the superhero mutants, with Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, and even Rogue. The difference in this cartoon was that they rewrote it to more of a teenager and young audience setting; namely, the X-Men all mostly high school students with secret identities going to a public school and mixing with regular humans.

This volume represents how most of the X-Men Evolution series has been released, in a small compilation of episodes based on a theme. In this volume, the episodes are : Shadow Dance, Retreat, The Hex Factor, and Day of Reckoning (Parts I & II).
