Okay, I'm going to need that Mystique/Emma Peel story right now, thank you very much.

Mystique does seem to have been on one huge self-improvement course. I wonder if her adaptational abilities make it easier for her to learn languages.

If Erik could even stop and take a breath before the grandiose megalomania, it might help. I'm not sure older!Erik ever learns this either. The Statue of Liberty scheme sounds like something Mystique would seriously roll her eyes at.

So what's your thinking on what Mystique winds up doing with Wolverine? Does Wolverine not get his adamantium in the new timeline, then? Obviously Logan still winds up safely at the school and as a decent human being and so on, while Mystique's elsewhere and probably not teaching algebra, but I can't help thinking she must've had Nefarious Plans.

...also I assume Erik must've told her where to find Logan? I don't think anyone else knew where he was.
