Mística
Mística is the Brazilian localization of Mystique (Raven Darkhölme), the blue-skinned mutant shapeshifter and manipulative terrorist who leads the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, using her metamorphic abilities to infiltrate and destabilize her enemies.
Shape-shifting villainy never looked so compelling as when Mística arrived on Brazilian shelves in 1986, brought to life through the legendary collaboration of Chris Claremont and John Byrne in Editora Abril's Superaventuras Marvel. This Copper Age entry into the catalog keeps genuinely dangerous company — sharing pages with the likes of Raven Darkhölme, Blob, Avalanche, and Dominikos Petrakis — making for some deliciously charged reading across her appearances in Superaventuras Marvel, Arma X, and Graphic Marvel. With a presence stretching across roughly 26 years of Brazilian Marvel publishing, Mística is a testament to how certain characters transcend borders and eras, and her eight catalog appearances make each one a worthy find for the dedicated collector.
