I didn't like Romjin's Mystique. There was no depth to the character and Romjin lacks Lawrence's talent. The whole nudity thing was ridiculous. In the comics she wears CLOTHES. And in the comics she depends on trickery and her gun. She's not an unarmed combat expert. Nor did she work with Magneto in any of the comics I read. She was Nightcrawler's mother and Rogue's adopted mother. She was in an implied lesbian relationship with Destiny, an older mutant precog who was a member of the second Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, which Mystique led. That team eventually got pardoned and went to work for the government as Freedom Force. In that capacity they defeated and arrested the Avengers.

I would have preferred one generally more faithful to the comics. But Mystique was never a very important character to me in the comics. So I didn't need to have her so front and centre in the movies.
