Mystique

As we mentioned, after Apocalypse disables Professor X (we don’t know if it’s a physical or mental disability), Beast asks Mystique to fill in as the leader of the X-Men. To be noted: She is one of the few mutants seen by the entire world during the Days of Future Past events.

And that has transformed her into a living legend. Which is best showcased when she rescues Nightcrawler from the undergrown battling ring.

But that scene, in which Nightcrawler exclaims, “You’re her!”, can be seen from a different perspective, as well. In the comics, Nightcrawler is the son of Mystique. So what if he is surprised to see his own mother? After all, between the events of First Class and Days of Future Past, Mystique spent quite a lot of time alone with Azazel.

Do you think X-Men: Apocalypse will go in this direction with the Mystique/Nightcrawler story?
