    Mimic

    Character » Mimic appears in 685 issues.

    Mimic is a super-human with the ability to copy the powers and abilities of others. He was the first new recruit to the original X-Men team and later a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Excalibur and Norman Osborn's X-Men team before rejoining the X-Men at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.

    So... Mimic has been written out of the X-Men yet again.

    Mimic rejoined the X-Men earlier this year. After only appearing in 5 issues (a new personal best), Mimic has once again departed for comic book limbo.

    Guess we'll see ya again in 2015, pal...

    he was best in the exiles, he's almost too cool to insert into x-books full time because he would make more than one character seem less important :) He's better suited when he's working with people he doesn't share powers with. again his role in Exiles was pretty good in my mind.

    Fox need to put this guy in a movie so Marvel can finally be bothered to use him properly.

    @X35: It was great getting the Mimic back in the spotlight, now 2015 is so far away.

    At least he won't be cannon folder for Uncanny Avengers and X-Force.

    Wallpaper for Wolverine and the X-Men.

    But, he could have been perfect for All New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Avengers, Secret Avengers, and A+X.

    Marvel Now MIMIC the series, come on Marvel.

    Mimic is the X-Men's Wonder Man

    Powerhouse that never gets used other than badly or for a cameo

    favorite version is Exiles Mimic.he was a great hero type,who had actual limits,but they actually made his powerset cooler( only five powers,and at half power) .Marvel should rip him out of the past,before Proteus,and keep him in 616.

    It does appear hes been totally exiled (see what i did there :-p ) to comic Limbo once again, which is totally disappointing but maybe the are just setting up for him to reappear in a book that would use him more? I mean Legacy is going to be focused on Legion now, and anyone in that book would just be wall paper in Wolverine & the X men, so maybe he joins Scott or an Avengers team?

    Agreed.

    616 Mimic needs to be given more attention, and really needs to be made more like Exiles' Mimic. I think Mimic might be to much of a challenge to write because of his OP abilities, so they need to give him limitations to make him a more dynamic character that's also easier to write.
