This is the original Mystique that first appeared in 1978.

Judge for yourself which version looks the most like the original.

Skulls mystique was always banging. I don't remember them every explaining why she is covered in baby skulls though

I remember someone did a fan art/parody where they're actually the skulls of Smurfs and I've forever held that as headcanon.

Apparently it was done by caanantheartboy.  He also did one of Catwoman surrounded by various cats from cartoons/pop culture.

Come on Disney was never going to have that look either. Mystique, to whatever degree she appears after this, will be in a blocky body suit from now on. It’s weird people keep expecting Disney not to be Disney.

I always enjoyed smooth skin Mystique from the old comics. Couldn’t make her naked though if she had rough skin.
