Batman. Mystique's powers would be kinda useless if its just stone walls and ground. Shes not a terrible fighter by any means, but shes at least a tier or 2 below Batman. Mystique has always struck me as like, the weakest of the shapeshifting characters. Morph, Apocalypse, and others can change into a much bigger variety of things than her.

Mystique dmg soak is well above Bats, but im not totally convinced she could put him down h2h for that to matter, although by high showings she has a shot.Bats for the Majority from a pure h2h skill standpoint.
Sure, but why would she be fighting in purely hand-to-hand? That's ridiculously stupid, and she's rather intelligent, both book-and-street wise.

Current Mystique can go nearly invisible, phase, and boost her stats to an extreme superhuman level.As well as nifty tricks like shifting vital organs and such... so I wouldn't bet on nerve strikes.
All that being said, I'd probably give the win to Bats due to gadgets.
-increasing lethality of appendages ala talons
-armour morphing
-possible "pin cushion" defense
-doesn't tire normally since her body can lack lactic acid if she chooses so

What else would she fight with? she cant morph into a gun, and morphing her hand into a sharp claw is still hand to hand combat..not to mention Bats also has standard gear.
