Raven Darkholme | X-Men: First Class 2/?travelistaaJuly 22 2011, 13:30:47 UTC
Charles brings Erik to the facility where they meet a young Hank McCoy. Raven and Hank are instantly smitten with each other. Raven considers Hank 'beautiful' with his mutated feet and there is an instant, budding attraction between them. He reveals later to Raven that he is working on a serum to cure the physical mutation, but leaves his physical abilities intact. Requesting a blood sample of her, he tells her that he believes that her DNA and her ability holds the key to perfecting it.
Charles, using a mutant locating device (Cerebro) in order to recruit more mutants, and Raven takes it upon herself to either give everyone codenames, or come up with one themselves, and she takes the name Mystique.
During a mission to Russia where Charles, MacTaggert and Erik try to find Shaw, the mutants stay at home and continue to talk. However, instead of Shaw arriving in Russia, he sent Emma Frost in his stead and he himself (along with Azazel and Riptide) goes to attack Division X, where they kill everyone but the mutants. He offers them a chance to join him, but Angel is the only one who willingly accepts. Darwin attempts to fight back with the aid of Havok, but Shaw simply absorbs Havok's energy and kills Darwin with it.
With the facility destroyed and the employees dead, Charles takes the young mutants back to train at his family home in New York.
The mutants begin there training here, each one working their bodies and minds to hone in and shape their individual and unique abilities. Raven opts for physical training since her power stems from her body itself - though while she works out, she still maintains her 'human' shape. Erik sees her as such, and makes the comment that without the distraction, she would do much better. He proves this by casually lifting her weights from her hands while he speaks, then suddenly dropping them on her, causing Raven to immediately shift and catch the weights.
Later, Hank reveals to Raven that he believes he has found the cure to their appearances, and offers her the serum. Raven rejects it, telling him that they shouldn't have to hide. He counters that by telling her that she was hiding at that moment, and that she was beautiful when she wasn't blue and a 'freak'. Raven, unquestionably hurt, does not take the injection.
She goes to Erik (who's constant assurance of her true beauty was the main reason she refused the injection) and attempts to seduce him as a normal human woman. Again he tells her he prefers the real Raven - not the mask that she wears. They share a kiss, and Raven does not take the form of the blond woman again.
The next morning, they are outfitted in suits made by Hank, who is mysteriously absent and left only a note stating to meet him at the airplane. It is revealed upon arrival that Hank had injected himself with his serum, but it had backfired - instead of masking his physical abnormality, it only amplified it and caused him to take on a far more bestial appearance.
The entire team was instrumental in stopping the Cuban Missile Crisis stopping Shaw’s plan for world domination (by mutants). Raven was able to fool Azazel by appearing as Shaw, enabling them to hold the upper hand while Erik battled Shaw within the crashed submarine.
However, the team was split after the battle when instead of fighting each other, Americans and Russians both aimed their missiles at the beach on which the mutants had crashed. Erik warned them that humans would never accept mutants, and after a fight in which Charles was paralyzed by a bullet deflected by Erik, he left with Rip Tide, Raven, Angel and Azazel in tow. The last scene of the movie showcases Magneto introducing himself, and he and his team liberating Emma Frost.
