![Every Time Mystique Impersonated Someone In the X-Men Movies]( "Every Time Mystique Impersonated Someone In the X-Men Movies")
The shape-shifting mutant known as Mystique appears in all five of the main X-Men movies and is played by three different main actresses along with 33 other actors. Her favorite victim is undoubtedly William Stryker who she impersonated 5 times (that we know of).
The collected directors of the X-Men franchise are so in love with Mystique they've shoehorned her transformations into every conceivable corner of the quintology. It's almost like they have a Mystique addiction.
In total, she assumes different appearances 46 times in X-Men, X2: X-Men United, X-Men 3: The Last Stand, X-Men: First Class, and X-Men: Days of Future Past with undoubtedly more to come in X-Men: Apocalypse.
That's a lot of impersonations, but we've got them all tracked in this list of every time Mystique impersonated someone in the X-Men movies.
Disclaimer: All timecodes provided for X-Men: Days of Future Past refer to the extended "Rogue Cut" version.
http://www.ranker.com/list/mystique-transformations-in-x-men/rhune-kincaid,
Henry Peter Gyrich
When: 31 minutes into X-Men
Henry Gyrich is a major villain in X-Men comics, but here, his name is attached to a forgettable advisor to Senator Kelly. Mystique's impersonates him to kick said Senator in the face.
Iceman
When: 44 minutes into X-Men
Mystique poses as Bobby Drake to guilt Rogue into leaving the school. It works! It's also possible that she was impersonating Iceman a few (screen) minutes earlier when Rogue was sapping Wolverine's healing power.
She remains cloaked as Iceman to access the X-Mansion's basement.
Lady Deathstrike
When: 23 minutes into X2: X-Men United
Mystique transforms into Lady Deathstrike to bypass a security door protecting Stryker's computer databases.
Professor X
When: 59 minutes into X-Men
In a close-up that betrays the (relative to the other films) low budget of X-Men, Mystique switches out her eyes to access Cerebro and inject some non-specific bad juices into it to knock out Professor Xavier.
Statue of Liberty
When: 72 minutes into X-Men
Mystique becomes a woman-sized replica of Lady Liberty for a "gotcha" moment with very little narrative weight.
Storm
When: 77 minutes into X-Men
Mystique tries to pull one over on Wolverine after retreating from their tussle, but he sniffs her out. She probably smells like latex and body paint.
Wolverine
When: 73 minutes into X-Men
Given that she is single-single-handedly attacking four X-Men, this impersonation gives Mystique a tactical advantage. If the X-Men knockout both Logans, it's a push and a stall tactic. Instead, they hesitate, giving her the preferable 1-on-1 matchup before Toad intervenes.
Robert Kelly
When: 12 minutes into X2: X-Men United
Just as Mystique ends the first film disguised as Senator Kelly, she starts the second film posing as him. His hair color is a little spiffier, and his wardrobe a little sharper. Either Mystique made some cosmetic changes, or the hair and makeup departments got raises between films.
Mystique uses this guise to be the first mutant to get a peek at Colonel Stryker's anti-mutant scheme.
Senator Robert Kelly
When: 91 minutes into X-Men
Mystique pulls a Talented Mr. Ripley and implausibly assumes Senator Kelly's whole life. This continues throughout the original trilogy, but one wonders how she balances the busy schedule of a prominent U.S. Senator with her dedication to mutant terrorism... especially when she is encarcerated and subsequently depowered in the 3rd film.
This Boat Driving Guy
When: 66 minutes into X-Men
Mystique assumes the form of this boat driver so she can wave to his land-dwelling security buddy. The buddy dies two seconds later, but the filmmakers wanted to remind you that there's a shapeshifter in the movie.

![The Greatest Musical Artists of All Time]( "The Greatest Musical Artists of All Time")
When VH1 polled fellow artists to name the greatest artists of all time, it seemed like a good idea---but in reality, the list was truly flawed. According to them, Coldplay is better than Pearl Jam, Mariah Carey is only greater than six artists, etc! Not to mention other impactful artists were left off of the list. So I thought that maybe we try the countdown one more time, only this time with the perspective of true music fans...YOU..
This list will begin in no particular order, you will see some names that didn't appear in VH1's version, no artist appears on the countdown twice, and the order is not my personal opinion (I personally think Bob Marley is the greatest artist of all time). If you don't like how the list looks, you have the power to change it. This list includes some of the greatest female vocalists of the past 10 years, and many of the best rock bands and artists of all time. Many of them are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - and some will be, eventually.
So many questions will be answered with the voting results on this list. Nirvana or Pearl Jam? 2Pac or Biggie? The Beatles or the Rolling Stones? Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston? Is Michael Jackson still the King or is Elvis the true immortal? Is Madonna still the undisputed Queen of Pop? Does anyone rock harder than Hendrix? Are Jay-Z and Beyonce the most powerful couple in music history? It's up to you to decide!

![The Best Singers of All Time]( "The Best Singers of All Time")
Who are the best singers of all time? That's a tough question to ask. This list includes many of the greatest vocalists ever, from all genres of music. Whether it's the incomparable, late, great Whitney Houston with her extraordinary pop and R&B tones or rock icons like Freddie Mercury from Queen, Jim Morrison from The Doors or John Lennon and/or Paul McCartney from The Beatles, this list spans decades of incredible musicians. What singers do you feel are the greatest of all time? What are some of the greatest voices in music? Vote for your favorites, vote down any you don't like and feel free to rerank this list your way.
Vote: The Best Rock Vocalists
Putting together the top singers in music history is a tall order. Everyone has an opinion. Some might lean more toward rock vocalists as their personal favorite (think Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks and Mick Jagger), while others might prefer excellent pop or R&B vocalists like the late Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, or even Stevie Wonder, James Brown or Aretha Franklin.
Rank: The Top Female Vocalists of the Last Decade
Country musicians could also easily be included on this list. Musicians like Johnny Cash and Keith Whitley gave new meaning to great vocals with outstanding country songs. Female country artists, including modern era vocalists like Carrie Underwood could also be included. If country's your thing, vote and add away!

![The Best Hood Movies]( "The Best Hood Movies")
Best hood movies includes some of the greatest hood films set in, and about, the 'hood. Hood films began appearing in the late '80s and early '90s, with the most widely-known examples being Boyz n the Hood and Hustle n Flow. These films explore themes of life in African-American urban communities, including poverty, violence, gang involvement, education, sports, and music. Any hood movies list would be incomplete without a mention of Friday or Next Friday - both classic hood movies. More recently, these types of films have fallen out of favor, as many became cliched, being parodied and even garnering criticism for promoting stereotypes. That said, 1980s and 1990s classic hood movies are a testament to top-quality film making - even hood movies from the 21st century are popular and entertaining to dedicated audiences. Hood films deal with urban black culture, often touching on the various struggles of growing up in that type of environment. Vote for your favorites, whether hilarious comedies or heart-wrenching dramas, and check out Ranker's list of the best black movies.

![The Greatest Horror Films of All Time]( "The Greatest Horror Films of All Time")
Horror movies, ranked by adrenaline junkies worldwide. Anyone can vote on this CrowdRanked list, and can even add your own favorite chiller to these rankings. Ghosts, zombies, monsters or maybe just the quiet guy down the street who straps on a hockey mask for kicks; these are the movies that scare the pants off you. What are the greatest horror films ever made?
Great horror films have a long and storied history in cinema. From the earliest horror movies like 1922's 'Nosferatu,' to modern classics like the 'Saw' series, scary movies have always had a special place in the collective, twisted hearts of movie goers. Each year, new horror movies come out that are designed to terrify, with evil characters bent on death and destruction. Will they all wind up on a list of the scariest horror movies ever made? Probably not, but not for a lack of trying.
Many of the best horror films are haunted house movies, relying on the setting as a huge, spooky selling factor. Other excellent horror films rely on nausea-inducing tactics, making us recoil in terror, totally disturbed by whatever we're watching on screen. Start with all of the ones on this list, and of course, feel free to add any that might be missing.
Enjoy this list of great horror films, and remember: You can rerank this list in any order you like. Boo!

The best actors ever are ranked here in this list of the best actors in film history. These are the greatest actors ever to appear on the silver screen - male only (to vote on both genders, check out this list of the greatest film actors and actresses). These gentlemen were part of some of the greatest movies of all time (or were perhaps the reason they were the best movies ever), with countless Academy Awards between them.
What are the qualities of the best actors of all time? Is it the raw emotion they show, the parts they choose, their acting methods, or simply their effortless charm and charisma? There's no denying some of these amazing actors belong on the list of the hottest male celebrities, but behind the 1000 watt smiles lies the talent that defines generations of actors.
Who is the best actor of all time? Is it a classic actor like Marlon Brando, a comedic genius like Charlie Chaplin, a double-threat like Clint Eastwood, or a method actor like Daniel Day Lewis? There are so many choices for the greatest movie actor ever that you may have a hard time choosing just one (although you can vote for as many of the actors on this list of the greatest actors ever as you'd like). If your favorite leading man isn't on the list, make sure to add him so others can vote for him to receive the title of best actor in film history.

The best doctors of Doctor Who are as unique as the universe they inhabit, despite sharing certain personality traits and essentially portraying the same character through its bodily evolutions. The actors who portray the Doctor on Doctor Who are some of the chief reasons the show has ascended as one of the top cult TV series in history with the show also being recognized as one of the best Sci-Fi series of all time.
The eleven doctors of Doctor Who represent old-school actors like Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton, and newer actors who have used the Doctor character as a launching pad to bigger, equally awesome roles (David Tennant and Matt Smith). The greatest Doctor Who Doctors are the ones who handily abolish their enemies while forming a bond with the audience only an alien with a police box time machine possibly could.
Who is the best Doctor from Doctor Who? With decades of the TV series in the can, there are myriad reasons to cast your vote for one Doctor Who cast member over another, and this is the place to do it. Whether you like the young Doctors of Doctor Who better than the old Doctor Who Doctors, you can vote for favorite Doctor Who Doctor right here.
