(New Artwork) Queer Icon: Mystique (Raven Darkholme)!! X-Men adjacent, mutant…anti-hero!! Intended to be the first queer & gender fluid character in a major comic company (Marvel). Sadly Chris Claremont was forced to make her to be heavily coded instead. Raven has recently FINALLY being allowed to be themselves and have everything they ever wanted… including getting married to her very long time partner, Destiny!!
