Mystique's 10 worst ideas for spying on someone. Or, why mystique only changes into people and animals. Only extremely rarely does she change into something other than those.

10: Magneto had asked her to keep an eye on Sabretooth for the day. She morphed into a blanket. Then spent the next 10 hours in his bed, unable to move. He kept calling her "blanky".

9: Spied on the brotherhood, as a rug. Was put into a coma for 6 months when Pietro ran around in a circle too fast and she caught on fire. Woke up as Toads blanket, with him wrapped in it. He screamed louder than she did when she ran out of the room.

8: Became a stove to keep an eye on the X-men. Wound up being used to cook Kitty's food. Still flinches to this day.

7: Morphed into a kitchen table at the Brotherhoods, and had to sit through Blob eating lunch.

6: Was almost caught, but hid as a toilet in a public restroom before the X-men saw her. Let's not continue that story.

5: Decided to spy on one of Xavier's students in drivers ed. Chose to hide as a clipboard. Flew out the window and into a lake.

4: Replaced one of the seats in the X-jet, but forgot to secure herself. Logan threw her out, luckily before the plane was too far off the ground. She was in the hospital for a month.

3: Hid as a towel. Xavier used her to wash his head.

2: Morphed into Rogues bed. Rogue touched her.

And the number one reason is: Morphed into a syringe in Beast's laboratory. Bobby had to have a tetanus shot in his rear. She's still in therapy. Nuff said.
