Why are some mutants mystic? (In-game)

Yeah, juggernaut isn’t a mutant at all. Magik has a mutant power, but the vast majority of her powers on display here come from her ability to wield magic in limbo. longshot is more or less an alien who was augmented with magic.

Magik is a mutant but her backstory involves her being trapped with demons in limbo and having to learn magic. So she’s mystic

Seems like al of your questions have been answered.

Any others?

Juggenaunt - his power from cytorak gems, but he is in brotherhood of mutants, that why people always mistake him for mutant
Magik - her mutant power is to open limbo portal, but the sword and others power that she use is from the limbo magic
Scarlet witch - watch MCU
Longshot - he is android from mojo world

Worth mentioning quicksilver consider science because from 2015, his backstory changed that he is product of genetic experiment by High Evolutionary

She did defeat Thanos and Galactus by herself. She's definitely OP.

According to one of the live stream, they won't introduce her as a 7 star without toning her down. Apparently she's too OP. I'm assuming it's her power control and limbo mechanics that they deep to powerful.

Squirrel Girl also defeated Deadpool by talking him into being a “good guy” and killed him with kindness. Haha

Why Juggs was a mystic? Always wanted to know.

Juggs got his power from the Crimson Bands (bands on his arms) of Cyttorak (a mystic god). Before he was Juggernaut, he was military soldier Cain Marko. Marko found the gem of Cyttorak while hiding in a cave. Cyttorak was part part of a pantheon of gods that made certain humans powerful.

He cast this spell on the gem: "Whosoever touches this gem, shall possess the power, of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Henceforth you who read these words, shall become forevermore, a human Juggernaut"

When Marko read it out loud, he became Juggernaut.

Terminatrix

do you have examples ?

Try giving full explanation other wise its like you h
Longshot?

Longshot is actually an alien who technically should be Cosmic in the game. His first appearance was in the X-Men comics. His only "power" is luck, which is not magic or Mystic abilities.

Sundance_2099

Longshot is mystic because he was mystically altered to be lucky. It's in his bio.

Scarlet witch - watch MCU

Note there are two Scarlet Witch champions in the game, the Sigil witch that is based on the MCU iteration of the character, and the OG classic SW that is based on the comic book iteration of the character.

In the MCU, Wanda was experimented on by Hydra using energy from an infinity stone which granted her powers. This was later retconned in the WandaVision series to say that the mind stone simply unlocked her latent scarlet witch magical abilities. So at the time the character was added, Sigil Scarlet Witch was mystic.

In the comics, Wanda was originally a mutant with probability hex abilities that resembled magic. This was later pseudo-retconned to be that her mutant abilities allowed her to use "chaos magic" which was "whatever the writer wanted" (I say pseudo retconnect because no one really knew how her powers worked in the first place). And finally she was retconned to not be a mutant at all, but just a chaos magician. The Classic Scarlet Witch that was added to MCOC probably dated from the "mutant, sort of, but chaos witch also" period of the character.
