10 Most Inappropriate X-Men Storylines

Although all of the World's Worst X-Man comic is made of weird and wild moments from starts to finish, Mystique's seduction of the comic's star Bailey is definitely at the top of the list.

Mystique launches into one of the creepiest villain rants of history at the boy, and also turns into his mother while trying to seduce him at one point, which manages to send an already weird scene into some straight-up oedipal territory.

While we're never told Bailey's exact age, we are explicitly told he's a minor, which means Mystique was dancing into some pretty gross behaviour. More importantly, Mystique does all of this in order to get a picture of her and Bailey kissing to blackmail him with, which takes the fun tone the comic had until then into a really, really dark place.

It's by no means the weirdest moment that Mystique has ever been associated with, but for an otherwise funny and lighthearted comic, this weird blackmail subplot could have been carried off in a million ways that didn't channel some super creepy Freudian themes with it.
