Copycat (Vanessa Geraldine Carlysle) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is a former member of X-Force.

Actress Morena Baccarin portrays Vanessa Carlysle in the 2016 feature film Deadpool.

Copycat first appeared in X-Force #19 where the character was retconned to the first appearance of Domino in The New Mutants #98 and was created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld.

As a young mutant shape-shifter, Vanessa Carlysle fell into a life of prostitution in Boston where she met and fell in love with a mercenary named Wade Wilson. Carlysle was soon saved from Wilson's vengeful employers by Zoe Culloden, a time-traveling agent of Landau, Luckman & Lake who had journeyed into the past to prevent Wilson's eventual self-destruction. That night, Wilson broke up with Carlysle after learning he had cancer, leaving her heartbroken. Carlysle became a mercenary herself, eventually employed by arms dealer Tolliver.

Under his orders, Copycat infiltrated X-Force in the shape of Domino, while she was a prisoner. Her mission was to blow up X-Force's headquarters in order to kill Cable, but she became attached to the team members and failed her mission. Tolliver sent Deadpool to force her to set the bomb. Deadpool would put in her place, if she refused. Deadpool revealed Copycat's cover to X-Force, and left them for dead by blowing up the complex (without knowing that X-Force had already escaped).
