The shape shifter Mystique has plenty of parallels all over Indian mythology. So many of our Gods / Goddesses / Villians have been shape shifters. While our gods [Shiva / Vishnu etc.] are shape shifters, by extension, so are their incarnations [Krishna comes to mind]. And a large number of humans were granted the boon of shape shifting by the same gods [Ravana, the evil protagonist of the Ramayana comes to mind].

Karna in the Mahabharat is almost the equivalent of Superman! He was sent away by his real mother in a small "boat" and then raised by adopted parents, who found him floating in the river. He had an armor that was impenetrable, making him rather hard to kill. He was ultimately killed by deceitful means. Another character in the Mahabharat, Duryodhan, was rendered almost completely invulnerable when his mother laid eyes on him for the first and last time! But, he was an evil sort of guy, so he had to die too.

I'm sure I could come up with plenty more parallels from Indian Mythology, given the time.
