In the Animated Series, they seem to have some sort of history, even in the movie it was the same thing. I haven't come across a comic with this relationship. So What's the story behind them?
X-Men
Team » X-Men appears in 13410 issues.
The X-Men are a superhero team of mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier. They are dedicated to helping fellow mutants and sworn to protect a world that fears and hates them.
What's the deal with Mystique and Wolverine?
In Wolverine and the X-Men animated series they were in love I'm pretty sure (during the Weapon X days). In comics I dont believe Mystique was ever a part of Weapon X. Though I could be wrong about that.
In the second film she mentions that no-one has ever left a mark like him. She was disguised as Jean Grey and trying to seduce him , when he found the three scars left by his Adamantium claws from the first film. Being a metamorph she usually heals quicker, but the Adamantium scarred her. I don't think they were ever an item. More like she was trying to mess with his head.
Wolverine and Mystique have a long and complex history going back nearly a hundred years. They have been rivals and lovers equally often though I don't think they have ever actually been in love. They always had a mutual respect for one another both for their skills and commitment to their ideals.
They did have a relationship, established in the Get Mystique book. Seems they met in Mexico and traveled together well into what appeared the 1930s, where they had a gang. Wolverine sold out the gang. Most died, but Mystique got away. They met up some time later, while stowing away on a train, where he claimed that he just stabbed her in the back before she could. He didn't believe her about living happily after one last big score. Her only reply to that was, "I guess we'll never know.". Once his back was turned she kicked him off the train.
They battled in Get Mystique and were really kicking each others' asses. Wolverine got the upper hand, but refused to kill Mystique. This meeting seemed to be part of the motivation for Mystique appearing in front of Bobby. All the while she seemed like she was trying to kill Bobby, but she never went all the way. At then end she admitted that Logan was right. That she was alone. I thought that Manifest Destiny book was really interesting. Mystique pretty much helped Bobby over come the toxin she slipped him. At the end Bobby confronts her that he thinks that she is in love with him. She didn't say anything.
Before Utopia, last we saw Mystique she told Bobby that she would come see him one more time. Not with her face or body, but promised him that he would love her. After that she jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.
Ever since that time I've been anticipating their next meeting. Sadly with the Dark X-Men story. I don't think we will get that meeting anytime soon. I was looking forward to that since Mystique isn't a willing participant and I saw Mike Carey would be writing X-Men Legacy.
@FoxFireArt:
Wolverine didnt refuse in Get Mystique, he tried to kill her. he assumed he left her for dead but she survived.
@EditMan:
aside from any book covering Wolverines history, like Wolverine Saga #! is a good short cheap place to start,
suggested reading is the mentioned Get Mystique story arc.

Thanks for the info on Get Mystique. That's what I didn't know about. Although it sounds awful. And it now means she's now slept with both Sabretooth & Wolverine. What is it with Mystique's taste in feral men??
What is it with Mystique's taste in feral men?? "Methinks Mystique likes it rougher than usual?
not only do that often hint to there being a past love. in the House Of M story line they are actually current lovers as well as work partners. heck she started a new war just because he told her he felt useless not fighting. its said here and there in parts that they were in the "weapons plus program" together. that came before weapon x. thats also how she knows creed. but obviously wolverine doesn't remember her. but if you read carefully. mystique is one of only 2 people that wolverine ever tracks with his sense of smell from miles away.

I think they'd make a cute couple if Raven could ever clean up her act :P
i',m wondering if they're in love.
...Because Hugh Jackman gets Jean, Silverfox, Mariko, Storm, and Mystique and Mystique as all the girls... I think I missed a couple btw.
i always thought wolverine and mystique should be together. they kind of have a twisted version of the batman and catwoman deal. you can tale mystique cares for him because in one of the issues of wolverine he was about to go kill his kids. a ploy setup in an attempt to break him by this shady group. who rounded up a team of logan's kids he didn't know about over the years and they told them they were going to train them so they would be able to kill logan so they could have there revenge for wolverine abandoning them. but the real plan was to set it up where they would attack him he would kill them all. then once he found out they were his kids it would break him mentally. mystique found out about this and went to tell wolverine. even though she knew wolverine was looking for her so he could kill her she still tried to warn him.
@comic_book_fan: You do realize what happened with Logan and Raven during 30's when he and Mystique were going to rob Kansas city bank where he was physically seduced and promised that they will have a healthy happy family by Raven only to betray him but who cares because he deserved it as told by some fans even though those fans know she had already done this with Bobby and Gambit....
Talking about those children she was literally unkilliable and she felt the guilt about being responsible for his previous assault(Goes to Hell) because she thought that Logan should her mercy for not killing her when Scott told him to kill her when she betrayed the X-Men....(Get Mystique)
@biswaboxz: yeah but mystique is known for being selfish i mean she did shoot her own daughter and yet she cared enough about logan to try to warn him knowing what he would do.
@ashetdust: They really drove it home in BotA with spawn by both Chuck and Logan. I wonder if her mutant physiology gestates differently, maybe her malleable cells expedite the process and she can produce offspring in half the time. What if she doesn't even need to copulate and just coming into contact with genetic material and combining it with her own allows her to create an easy-bake-oven shapeshifter clone army?
Didn't Logan and Raven find themselves in a roadside motel getting it on while she (Raven) was impersonating Jean Grey and Jubilee busted them -- incidently kicking Logan motorcycle over as she ran back to the mansion?
Yeah,that's logan & .........raven.
