# Mutant Pin-Up T-Shirts This X-Men T-Shirt Features Mystique as a Pin Up Girl By Jonathon Brown | Published 2013-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmen-tshirt References: [geekalerts](http://www.geekalerts.com/x-men-mystique-pin-up-t-shirt/) & [stylinonline](http://www.stylinonline.com/t-shirt-x-men-mystique-pinup-so-bad-joat-shr.html) This X-Men t-shirt proves just about anything can be sexy. With blue, scaly skin, eerie yellow eyes and bold red hair, [Mystique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seashell-nuo) lays on her back with a gun in one hand and skull in the other, yet remains oddly seductive. Part of the appeal is, of course, the fact that she's in a full body, form fitting body suit. The other factor is her character is a shape shifter and can turn into whatever she wants, which would be an amazing skill for a real woman to have. This X-Men t-shirt depicts Mystique in a way never before seen: as a [pin up girl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty). It's a style of dress and photography that is undoubtedly synonymous with sexy. So while Mystique is deadly and cold in X-Men comics and movies, here she is totally bad (where bad means good). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pin-up Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating a line of pin-up fashion apparel featuring popular comic book characters. - **Gender-bending Characters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing merchandise that portrays traditionally male characters in a gender-bending and seductive manner. - **Character Transformation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing merchandise that showcases character transformations, emphasizing the ability to change and adapt. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Apparel and Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating popular comic book characters into avant-garde fashion designs to create unique and edgy clothing pieces. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unconventional merchandise that challenges traditional stereotypes and appeals to diverse audiences. - **Cosplay Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing cosplay accessories that allow fans to transform themselves into their favorite characters in unexpected and alluring ways. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comic-Inspired Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmen-97-xbox.md) - [Empowering Superhero-Inspired Shapewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inner-armour.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Virtual Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmen-97-fireside.md) - [Anime Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule.md) - [Superhero Headquarter Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xmansion.md) - [Dark Vampire-Series Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-slayer-collection.md) - [Anime-Inspired Lifestyle Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackmilk-1.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deadpool-and-wolverine-1.md) - [Mutant Superhero Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolverine-gin-bottle.md)
