Valerie Cooper Hasn’t Been Found After X-Men ’97’s Genosha Attack
Throughout time of year 1 ofX - piece ' 97 , misgiving have been raised about Dr. Valerie Cooper ’s true nature . Cooper was preface as a United Nations official at the trial of Magneto , but one major hypothesis suggest she may actually be the mutant shape - gearshift Mystique in disguise . One detail inX - Men ' 97episode 7 could defend this theme , asCyclops remarks that Cooper ’s torso has n’t been found on Genosha , despite the UN secret agent being at the center of the action at law . It ’s hard to imagine an modal man surviving the attack on Genosha , which perhaps implies Valerie Cooper is n’t a even human being at all .
The theory suggestingValerie Cooper could be Mystique in disguisehas some clear grounds to back it up . Perhaps most notably , Cooper seems to be present whenever tragedy strikes for the X - man , include during the X - Cutioner ’s attack at Magneto ’s trial and during the plan of attack on Genosha . Cooper has also shown an uncharacteristic stake in X - Men member Rogue , who is Mystique ’s adoptive daughter , and some eagle - eyed viewers have even seen Cooper ’s eye color change from her common blue to icteric , the color of Mystique ’s eye , in bit of high stress . Cooper ’s potential survival inX - Men ' 97episode 7 reinforces this theory .
One major hypothesis job that a powerful X - Men ' 97 villain has been hiding in unmistakable sight , but this has now been suppose in stunning MCU fan art .

Mystique Could Have Escaped From Genosha Very Easily
While it ’s uncomprehensible that the average human Valerie Cooper would have been able to subsist the plan of attack on Genosha , it ’s easy to imagine Mystique only walking away from the devastation . Mystique ’s mutant ability allows her to assume the grade of anybody she desires at will and in a affair of import , which meansshe could have simply commute her shape and escaped from Genosha without anybody knowing who she really was . This would clearly explain how Valerie Cooper ’s body has n’t been found in the junk , even afterX - Men ' 97episode 5seemed to tease the UN official ’s demise on Genosha .
Mystique was vocalize by Randall Carpenter and Jennifer Dale inX - manpower : The Animated Series , but has n’t yet made an official appearing inX - Men ' 97 .
There is also precedence for Mystique adopt Valerie Cooper ’s body inX - man ' 97 , as this fall out in a 1991 Marvel Comics plot line after Cooper shot herself during battle with the Shadow King . ThisX - Men ' 97theory has been hugely convincing , though there has n’t really been any overt sign of Valerie Cooper let out herself to be Mystique in camouflage . WithX - Men ' 97’sthree - part finalecoming up , it ’s potential that this reveal could finally take office , and this would certainly have a major encroachment on X - Men member Rogue , who has already been going through some aroused turmoil inX - Men ' 97’srecent sequence .

X-Men ’97’s Mystique Reveal Could Be Even More Damaging For Rogue
Rogue has been the subject of some tumultuous storylines inX - Men ' 97 , and the return of her adoptive female parent would make this worse . After the truth of her relationship with Magneto came to light , Rogue was forced to choose between the master of magnetic attraction and fellow 10 - Men member Gambit , though the latter fail on Genosha before screw that Rogue choose him .
