It would be far easier to make M1 Future with anyone, M2 past with restricted heroes, M3 one of them with the other appearing in portals. Getting into two missions with one very restricted strike team and one unlimited doesn't quite work, and requires too much variation from the actual movie.

As for the Group Boss, there have been SO Lockbox heroes (Sandman, Satana and I think a few others) that were released in the Spec Ops through tasks instead of GB drops. As Mystique is a team-up, having a set of tasks using her would make more sense as her 'redeeming' herself, than having boxes drop from a GB of the future, especially considering she is killed to create the adaptation aspect of the Sentinels so isn't even alive in the timeline. Sorry to intrude again :/  But there is something I have to clarify.

Unfortunately, you are wrong. Sandman's lockboxes were gained from fighting with the Group Boss, Hybrid. Satana's Lockboxes were gained from fightwing with the Group Boss, Blackheart. I know this for sure because I've played this game since the beginning...

The only Lockbox Hero that wasn't unlocked from fighting with the Group Boss or collecting Lockboxes from PVP Tournament was Magneto. You were supposed to get his lockboxes from the special tasks and occasionally from roulette. But they did this as a sort of special treatment for him because he was the first Lockbox Hero and they didn't manage to prepare the whole Group Boss mechanism. I know this because in the iOS version you get Magneto's Lockboxes from fighting with the Group Boss, Living Monolith.

Since Magneto, all Lockbox Heroes have been always unlocked either from fighting with the Group Boss or PVP Tournament.

So, you have three solutions for Mystique LB Hero:

1) Make her a SO LB Hero and add a GB

2) Make her a PVP LB Hero

3) Make a new way how to get lockbox heroes Actually, we are both wrong. Newer GBs drop a box every 5%, however older ones would only drop boxes when you killed the group boss. Until they added the 1 box for every 5%, there were additional side-tasks rewarding 30, 40 boxes each, or in the case of Sandman were found in deploys.
