Hard to believe this is the figure everyone is complaining about being broken... guess with all the cheese in the meta scene she might be... but in any theme or fun team, she is just a disrupter... I personally love the dynamics of this figure and would hate it if she got banned or recieved an errata...
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn... don't worry guys... that's just the way I sneeze...

tell me how you would beat a Mystique, Deadman, Ressurection man team with a full Round table if you dont have pulsewave?

= cheese in the meta.... though The Roundtable might be unnecessary (Pandora's Box could be betetr)

= ignore her and go after the rest of the team... or, you know, have Pulse Wave...
Started by admiting she might be broken in the "meta scene". Pointed out a scenario in which she is not: theme/fun teams (I guess it's a blessing there's no ROC or anything like that in Bolivia).

Sidestep and poison. Her trait says you can't TARGET her if you didn't start adjacent, but poison doesn't target- it just deals 1 damage to adjacent opposing characters. So anyone with sidestep and poison will be great, or someone who can do poison like attacks without targeting. So I'd choose, Gluttony, Major Force, and then maybe another character or stack on a full resource. That covers mystique in 2 ways with poison without being next to her, and it also give you a solid attacker who deals poison from range (so you avoid mystics sometimes), and a tank who soaks up damage and heals back up to full half the time- WHO ALSO HAS MYSTICS. Call me crazy but I think this would work against her no problem.
Can the special outwit of Beast (#050 UXM) do target on Mystique?
YES, YES, SMARTEST MUTANT-SIMIAN-MAN IN THE ROOM: Beast can use Outwit. When he does, instead of targeting one character within range and line of fire, he may choose to target every opposing character within 4 squares and choose a power on each of them to counter.
@matiasggg, It says right in the Power "... he may choose to TARGET every opposing character..." Mystique's Trait prevents her from being Targeted unless that Character began the Turn Adjacent. So unless Beast was Adjacent when the turn Began, this Power would not affect Mystique.
SHAPESHIFTER: Mystique can use Shape Change and beings the game with a Shapeshift token on her card. While she has a Shapeshift token, she can use Improved Movement: Ignores Characters and opposing characters can only target her if they began the turn adjacent to her. When Mystique targets an opposing character with an attack, remove all Shapeshift tokens. When she succeeds using Shape Change, if she doesn't have one, place a Shapeshift token on her card.
Win/Loss: 11-5 Mystique is one of my favorite villains and this version brings a few different options to the game. Her Shape-Shift trait is incredibly powerful, although it has taken a hit with the 2017 rules as she cannot Side-Step during the beginning of the turn. Force Blast continues to be her main focus especially with her design. Low cost makes her easier to field on various teams, she is great on maps with lots of elevation. When not booting people off ledges or around the map, Mystique is running interference as mobile blocking terrain. I enjoy using her but the games she is in usually have a slow tempo. One day, I dream of a sniper-Mystique with a 7+ range value. Until then, this is one of my top choices.

Reason: Update W/L 10/12/18
Visible Dials and Pushing Damage need to be optional. This is the way.
Just broke her out again recently and she definitely got a boost from the new rules. Flyers take damage now when dropping off terrain. And in Golden Age since the Comprehensive RB now specifically states that held special objects act the same as if they were in the square of the character holding the object (pg. 14), pair her with the Shield Disruptor and cut through all the defenses including Invincible! She was always amazing but now...she is deadly.
She was somewhat annoying when she first appeared, due to being very difficult to ever target her. Now Willpower means she has more opportunities to move around and be disruptive. She never was particularly threatening, but she could be a bit more of a hassle.
Non-binary. Please refer to me in "they/them" pronouns. Thank you.
