As petty as it sounds I just want to say that Mystique is NOT an X-Woman! And that it saddens me greatly that we have come to a point where one could make a statement like that. By this point in the series female characters like Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Jean etc should have cemented themselves as huge female stars in this franchise. I think the fact that we know about Mystique's background (the one character who should be shrouded in mystery) but have yet to learn of the background of one of the marquee stars of the X-Men in comics right now, Storm, is extremely disappointing. If it weren't for the accent in X1 would audiences know of Storm's African heritage, I wonder.
I like Mystique as a character and I love Jennifer Lawrence but having Mystique as the biggest female character of the X-Men franchise is so not how I would have envisioned the series. Jean, Storm, Rogue any actual X-Woman should be occupying that position.
