The heroine of the comic book "Marvel" Mystic. Actress Jennifer Lawrence and other performers of this role

Among the superheroes "Marvel" one of the most controversial is the Mystic (Raven Darkholm). Since appearing on the pages of comics in 1978, she almost immediately fell in love with the readers so much that during the film adaptation of The X-Men, her and Magneto (Eric Lenscher) were chosen as the main antagonists.

Biography of the Mystic

This heroine does not look like an ordinary person. Her body is covered with blue scales that help her to turn into anyone. In her true guise - a yellow-eyed girl with scarlet hair and blue skin - she appears extremely rarely. Initially, the Mystic could not change the shape of the body, and also to grow additional limbs, but after irradiation with radiation, her abilities intensified.

The exact age of the heroine is unknown, but presumably she was born in the XIX century. At various times, the girl used various aliases, and her real name is Raven Darkholm.

This heroine had many novels. She met with the mutant Victor Creed, from a novel with which Mystic had a son. Unfortunately, the mother subsequently had to kill him, since he headed an anti-mutant organization.

Later, the heroine takes under her wing mutant Rogue, but eventually she goes to Professor Xavier. Raven also had a son, Kurt Wagner, from the ancient mutant Azazel. Immediately after birth, the mother tried to kill him, but the father saved the baby and gave it to foster parents.

Mystic took part in almost all significant events in the war of mutants with people and with each other. Several times she even had to stage her own death.

Biography Mystic in the cinema

In the movie "Marvel" this heroine has another biography. Mystic (actress Morgan Lily) as a child left her parents, and she had to take care of herself. Once climbing into a rich house in search of food, she met the young Charles Xavier and stayed with him. Perhaps Raven was in love with her friend, but Xavier did not notice it. Growing up, Mystic (actress Jennifer Lawrence) helped him in everything, but later was carried away by the ideas of Magneto and joined him, leaving Charles. After the arrest, Eric defended mutants on her own.

Learning about the Truska project to create robotic hunters for people with the X-gene, killed him, which aggravated the matter.

After liberation, Magneto Mystic (actress Rebecca Romain) served him faithfully until she accidentally received a shot of the vaccine, which deprives the mutants of their abilities. Having lost her strength, she was thrown by Eric. In retaliation, Raven issued it to the authorities.

When the robots designed by Trusk began to destroy mutants, Charles and Eric sent Wolverine to the past. He did not give Mystic (actress Jennifer Lawrence) to kill Trask. When she saved the US president from Magneto, she turned into a heroine for everyone. Later, Raven helped defeat the Apocalypse and began training young mutants at Xavier's school.

Rebecca Romaine is an actress who played The Mystic in X-Men before the restart

For the first time Mystic in the movie was played by an American of Dutch origin Rebecca Romain. She appeared on television four times in this image: "X-Men", "X-Men", "X-Men: The Last Battle" and in the episodic role in "X-Men: First Class".

Glory Rebecca brought the work of the model in Paris. After a while she returned to her homeland and began to conduct a television program. In parallel, Romain tried to act in films, but not particularly successfully. For the first time playing Mystic ("X-Men"), the actress attracted attention - she was invited to the main roles. After the release of the second and third parts Romaine secured the status of a star.

A little later, the actress was carried away by work on television and became a regular participant of such famous TV series as "Durnushka", "Chuck", "King and Maxwell", "Librarians".

Karmen Elektra is an actress who played Mystic in "A Very Epic Cinema"

In 2007, the movie "Very Epic Cinema" was released on the screens. This comedy film made fun of popular films of previous years. The X-Men were no exception. The mystic in this parody was played by Carmen Electra. Most likely, this role was given to her because of the incredible similarity of Carmen with Rebecca Romain.

Before Raven, the actress played a lot of roles, although most of them were on television series (Malibu Rescuers, Soldiers of Fortune) and comedy films (Very Scary Movie 1.4, Cinema Sight). Unlike Romaine for Carmen, the role of Mystic was a passing, but she played her well.

Jennifer Lawrence - The New Generation Mystic

After the restart of the epic "X-Men" in 2011, Raven Darkholm was invited by Jennifer Lawrence. She was a Mystic in X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of the Past, and X-Men: The Apocalypse.

Previously, the actress had been making TV programs and serials for several years, but she did not get much popularity, although she was nominated for an Oscar for the film "The Winter Bone." Perhaps, because of this nomination, the producers of "X-Men: First Class" chose her, choosing a new performer for the role of Mystic. In any case, the actress coped well, and after this work, her career went uphill.

In 2012, Jennifer received the role of Katniss Everdin in the "Hunger Games" and performed it in all four scenes of the epic. In the same period, she starred in the film "My Guy is a Psycho," for which she received an Oscar.

Today, Jennifer Lawrence is incredibly in demand as an actress. Every year, 2-3 large-scale projects with its participation are published. As for the role of the Mystic ("X-Men"), the actress officially stated that she was leaving the epic movie.

Recently there have been persistent rumors that it is planned to shoot a separate film about Mystic. In 2017, three films will be released: "Marvel" "Wolverine 3: Old Man Logan", "Gambit" and "New mutants". It is not known for certain whether the Mystic character will appear in them, and who will play it. However, fans do not give up hope that Lawrence will change his mind and return to this role.
