Redhead Power: Top 10 Redheaded Superheroes

4. Mystique: Marvel Comics, Ms. Marvel #16, 1978

Do not be fooled, she is not a large Smurf!

Mystique makes it to the #4 spot because of her unsurpassed metamorphic abilities, being able to alter her biological cells at will, resulting in an exact copy of any human/ humanoid of either gender, clothing and all. Her ability to morph into someone else does not end at looks as she can precisely duplicate anyone’s retina pattern, finger, palm, and skin pore patterns, and voice allowing her access anywhere the poor person she has morphed into has. After being exposed to high levels of radiation Mystique developed new abilities, which include: night vision, wings, talons, sharp fangs, and natural body armor.

In addition to her metaphoric abilities Mystique has accelerated healing, she is resistant to toxins and diseases, and does not age. Her combat skills and marksmanship are considered at the expert level giving her an advantage over most.  She is a trained actress and is fluent in at least eleven languages; both those skills come in handy when she is taking ownership over someone’s life.

So keep an eye peeled for your doppelgänger, and if you find it RUN!
