The verdict: Doom, and it isn't close
Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.
Doom's edge
Doom has used decoys of himself for sixty years, and a man who never knows which Doom is real is hard to impersonate. Her disguises also do nothing against a blast.
Mystique's edge
She can become anyone, down to the voice, and she is a master spy, marksman and martial artist with decades of practice.
