She not that broken, as soon as she targets you with an attack she loses her token and she can't do much of anything else other than leadership and she cannot use sidestep with Force Blast. Once you hit her she is gone.

Yes she dies easily, and offensively she can't do much. But I think you underestimate the effectiveness of free move + FB 2/3 turns is. Besides shoving your guys into walls or off buildings, it can ruin your formations. Knocking away characters with Defend, support pieces so you can't carry them, or into/out of attack range is pretty nasty. Against a SHIELD, Hydra, Defeders, or Spidy/Batman Enemy team this really hurts. Granted most pieces these days have crazy mobility, so map and positioning aren't as big of a factor as they used to, but its still important.

You miss understand I'm not saying that she isn't an effective piece because she is. I'm saying is that she isn't as broken as everyone is freaking out about
Actually this is kind of new combo. The wording has been around before, but not with traited free FB and ignore characters + sidestep. You can't sidestep attack her, nor TK attack as you didn't start next to her. And with her own sidestep you can't pin her down easily.
The worst thing about it all, is that she could potentially never loose her shapeshifter token. All she needs to do is just move/sidestep around and FB. Granted, she isn't going to be hurting armored pieces not ones that ignore knock back. Give her poison or outwit and she is broken.
Are you certain about Sidestep? It would seem that since you can keep taking free actions "at the beginning of the turn" that you could apply her check after your movement.

This ruling regarding Lex Luthor supports being unable to sidestep up to her at the beginning of the turn.
So far from what I have seen of the previews for this set. Mystique is my main want from it. I already have my favorite X-Men characters from sets that are going to be retired soon and I am not impressed by the 50-60 point dials I have seen.
Right now I am hoping to complete my favorite Brotherhood team and this Mystique looks to be from the 24 issue comic series about 10 years ago that I read and loved.
