I know that she can't acquire another mutant's powers by becoming them, but what about someone like Bruce Banner? He is not a mutant, and neither is the Hulk. Banner's "power" is practically an infection or a virus. So could Mystique become Banner, then get angry to become the Hulk? Using the version of her that can change her mass.

Or you can think about it like this: If Bruce Banner gets mad, and starts becoming the Hulk, at what point in the transformation would Mystique no longer be able to become the Hulk/Banner? Sometimes the transformation takes a while if he's fighting it.

Note: I don't see how this is duplicate to this question as I am ignoring that question by assuming that she can change mass and asking another question on top of it. If you read the old version of the post I had the same thing about using the version of her that can change mass, it was just not bold.

    That question has been asked and they decided that she can look like the Hulk but not have his powers, I am thinking of this as a way for her to have his powers. Also, she does exist, because the X-Men exist, we just haven't seen her. Or have we? She can look like anyone. @phantom42 – M Barbosa Jun 11 '16 at 19:04

    None of the X-Men films are in the MCU. – Kwola-T Jun 11 '16 at 19:12

  • This question was closed because the answer exists in several other questions on the site. Before attempting to reopen it please rewrite it to find a question not already discussed at length in previous Mystique answers. – Thaddeus Howze Jun 12 '16 at 17:56

No.

Mystique only copies appearance. She doesn't copy stuff inside people's bodies or their properties.

  • She can't become strong like Adamantium or Colossus's skin
  • She can't copy powers/DNA
  • She can't copy thoughts

She wouldn't be able to copy the changes to Banner's DNA/molecular structure due to the Gamma radiation.

To boot, she probably wouldn't be able to change her mass enough to change directly into the Hulk, unless it's after her bonus-power "event".

However, even if she were able to appear just like Hulk, she wouldn't gain his Gamma-enhanced strength.

    Does she have enough mass to become the hulk anyway? Apparently mass must not be an issue for her I guess, since she did shape shift into a small child in the movie. – Hack-R Jun 11 '16 at 21:55
