Mimic (Calvin Montgomery Rankin) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was briefly a member of the X-Men in the 1960s, and was the first character to be added to the team after the original line-up and the first X-Man who was originally believed to not be a mutant, but Xavier later revealed that he had always known that Calvin was actually a mutant.
An alternate reality version of Mimic became a popular member of the Exiles, the reality-hopping team.
