The uninhibited and corrupting influence of Farouk led to them making out. When the mind control ended, Gambit remembered their encounter but Rogue did not, leading to an awkward encounter afterwards. Despite the circumstances of their first meeting, Rogue and Gambit were immediately attracted to each other and quickly began dating.
Around this time, Cody Robbins, the first person to fall victim to Rogue's powers, passed away after being used as a pawn by Gambit's ex-wife, Bella Donna , and ex-lover Candra. It was eventually discovered that Mystique had two sons: the now-deceased anti-mutant politician Graydon Creed and Rogue's long-time teammate, Nightcrawler.
Rogue and Nightcrawler considered themselves to be siblings, although the revelation did not particularly alter their friendship. When the Galactic Council transformed Earth into a maximum-security penal colony for hundreds of extraterrestrial criminals, Rogue absorbed the attributes of Z'Cann -- a telepathic alien shapeshifter who had joined Cadre K , Xavier's Skrull equivalent to the X-Men.
Z'Cann purposely touched Rogue to activate the mutant's abilities as the two evaded bounty hunters. Z'Cann used her telepathy to amplify Rogue's capacity to assimilate memories, causing her powers to mutate. During an invasion of aliens from another dimension, Rogue begged Sage to use her jump-starting powers to evolve Rogue to a point where she could control all of the various powers inside of her.
Sage agreed, and Rogue became a one-woman army, able to use the powers of anyone she had absorbed in the past, exhibiting a multitude of powers at once. In that same invasion, Rogue was confronted by Vargas who was said to be "a new species all together".
Vargas wanted to kill her to preserve his own life; he showed her a page from one of Destiny's diaries that indicated Rogue would kill him. Rogue fought Vargas off and sped to rescue Gambit from the machine that used him to power a trans-dimensional gate. The power beam trapped her with him and they were both stabbed by Vargas.
Wounded but still alive, Rogue pursued Vargas, ambushing him by replacing his statue of Psylocke and eventually using all her abilities to defeat him and perhaps kill him, though the exact outcome of their fight is still uncertain.
Following the repulsion of the invasion, Rogue realized that the Destiny Prophecies were only possibilities and that trying to follow them was more dangerous than ignoring them. She also learned that she had inherited a mansion in New Orleans from Destiny, and the X-Men retired there to recuperate.
Rogue soon left the team with Gambit, since they both emerged powerless from their ordeals and wanted to further explore their relationship. While on the road, Rogue and Gambit met some mutants who hated normal humans. Rogue asked them to leave, but they provoked a fight, and Gambit and Rogue both powerless fought them. They lost, and their opponents destroyed Rogue's bike. Shortly thereafter, Rogue and Gambit met a young mutant going by the name of Paint , who possessed the power to "paint" tattoos by touch alone.
Rogue complimented Paint on her tattoos and in return, Paint gave Rogue some tattoos of her own. Rogue ended up staying at a beach house in Valle Soleada , a town wherein mutants and humans coexisted peacefully. She subsequently received a visit from Bishop and Sage and, after a series of events involving an investigation into the murder of a human girl's family, Rogue and Gambit signed up with Bishop and Sage to help stop Sage's enemy and former boss Elias Bogan.
After the battle Rogue asked Sage to restore Gambit's abilities, which she did. Rogue and Gambit returned to the X-Men. Over time, Rogue's own abilities returned naturally; however, she no longer possessed the abilities she had absorbed from Ms. Rogue and Gambit were both put on Havok 's team. On their first mission back, the X-Men battled against a Chinese mutant team to rescue Xorn. They succeeded and brought Xorn back to the X-Mansion with them. The X-Men then faced a new Brotherhood in Philadelphia.
The Brotherhood followed them back to the Mansion and attacked them at home. Black Tom almost killed Rogue, but she was saved by Northstar. Rogue then traveled down south to save a young mutant girl from her powers.
While there, she met Campbell Sainte-Ange , a young man who was immune to Rogue's lethal touch. Also while there, Rogue forcibly absorbed knowledge from her Aunt Carrie that explained that Rogue's mother had traveled to the Far Banks , a dream-realm, to stop her father from getting there himself.
Rogue encountered the incorporeal spirit of her mother therein, and absorbed her memories. After the reunion, her mother's trapped spirit could finally move on. Rogue subsequently went back to her Aunt Carrie and made amends with her. Rogue then returned to the X-Men and had to fight against the monstrous Golgotha , large creatures with limited telepathic abilities. During this ordeal, Rogue and Gambit got into a fight, and he left.
While recovering from Logan's mind, Rogue received a call from Emma Frost , who tried to kill Havok, mistakenly thinking Havok to be Cyclops. She later gained Sunfire 's powers after absorbing them when he was dying, subsequent to his battle with Lady Deathstrike , who amputated both his legs. Rogue returned to the Mansion and led the Advocates Squad in the school's new squad system.
Foxx was actually Mystique in disguise, who sought to break up Gambit and Rogue. She believed she had found someone better for Rogue, and was not particularly fond of Gambit. Rogue was given command of an X-Men team by Cyclops. She also dealt with Gambit's transformation into Death. Mystique seemingly tried to repair her relationship with Rogue, but was rebuffed. Rogue's team defeated the group known as the Children of the Vault.
Afterward, Rogue declared her team would be leaving the X-Mansion. Rogue was hospitalized after a battle with Pandemic. Cable, desiring Rogue's help in defeating the Hecatomb , forced Rogue awake.
Pandemic infected Rogue with a virus, Strain 88, altering her powers by amplifying them into an instantaneous death-touch. In defeating Hecatomb, Rogue absorbed psyches of eight billion entities that had been stored inside it. The team moved to Rogue's hometown of Caldecott for Rogue to recover. As Cyclops and Emma Frost arrived to help Rogue cope with the immensity of the voices in her mind, Marauders arrived seeking Destiny's Diaries.
As part of the attack, it was discovered that Mystique was working with the Marauders and for Mister Sinister. Mystique shot Rogue and took her back to Mr. Sinister's base, who only kept Rogue alive because she held all the information of Destiny's Diaries within her mind. Gambit, who had joined the Marauders and Mr. Sinister again, was protective of Rogue and accused Mystique of being too careless in how she captured her.
Gambit tried to get her to wake up after she had fallen into a trance overcome by the minds she absorbed and expresses his apologies for what he had done before rejoining Sinister.
Rogue had flashes of memories, both of her and Gambit during the time that they had known each other, and of the millions of minds she absorbed, while in her coma-like state before briefly waking up and recognizing Gambit.
She told him she had a nightmare, before spouting incoherent words and mysterious coordinates. The X-Men attacked the Marauders' Antarctic base in order to rescue Rogue and the mysterious first mutant baby born since M-Day ; however, the baby eventually took precedence and the X-Men did not recover, nor even see, Rogue.
Sinister, in possession of the mutant baby, relocated the Marauders to Muir Island. While standing by Rogue's bedside, Mystique was visited by Mr. Sinister who told her that there would be no cure for Rogue and she would eventually die. Without warning, Mystique ambushed Sinister and shoved his face onto Rogue's. The instant contact seemingly killed Sinister. Mystique, in keeping with the words of the Destiny Diaries, placed the baby's face in direct contact with Rogue's, with the understanding that Rogue would awaken from her comatose state.
The baby was not affected by Rogue's power, and Rogue awakened shortly after. Realizing what Mystique had done at the risk of killing the baby, Rogue said she was tired of people's lives being destroyed by Mystique and grabbed Mystique's face barehanded, fully absorbing her powers and consciousness. Mystique was left on the floor incapacitated as Rogue told Gambit that when the baby touched her, it removed all the psyches of everybody she had ever touched and that only herself and Mystique were left in her mind.
She told Gambit she needed to be alone and told him not to follow her. Rogue travelled around the Australian outback on a motorcycle. She spoke to Mystique who was in fact a copy of the real Mystique's mind, residing in Rogue's psyche telling her that no one else could help her with her powers and that it was down to her to figure out how to control them.
One day, a woman appeared in town claiming to be an anthropologist from Melbourne University. Rogue made it clear she could stay as long as she wanted, but to keep out of her way. The anthropologist approached Rogue with questions about some of the remains she had found in the town. Rogue said she didn't know and to leave her alone. The anthropologist followed her and explained she had a different identity. The anthropologist was then targeted by a low flying Shi'ar spaceship and revealed that she was really Danger and informed Rogue she was going to get her revenge on Professor Xavier for using her as a conduit.
Danger was damaged by the Shi'ar and created an amalgamation of several past events in the X-Men's history prominently involving Rogue in the town using her hard light capabilities. She was finally cornered by the Marauders, and refused to let Mystique take control and save her as the fake Scalphunter shot at her.
Mystique took over Rogue's body to save her and fought off the Marauders, returning Rogue's control over her body. After all these years, the X-Men comics have finally revealed how Rogue's mutant powers really work. Created by the legendary comic book writer Chris Claremont, for years Rogue has struggled to control her ability--absorbing the powers and memories of anyone she touches. As X-Men movie fans also know, her powers were activated when she was just a teenager, and shared her first kiss with her boyfriend.
She left him in a coma. Rogue has occasionally succeeded in mastering her powers, but it's always been fleeting. Worse still, they've recently expanded to the extent that they no longer require her to touch someone to drain the life from those around her. That makes her a deadly threat to anyone around her, and Rogue's been forced to wear an inhibitor collar to keep her abilities in check. This week's Mr and Mrs X 9 finally reveals just how Rogue's powers really work.
The mutant teleporter Spiral believes that something in Rogue's past holds the key to controlling her abilities. Rogue has fought and absorbed the powers of She-Hulk numerous times over the years, including in X-Men: Legacy She's demonstrated an ability to successfully acquire She-Hulk's powers and go big and green, with all the power of Jennifer Walters.
With the power of a Hulk, Rogue gains a significant advantage over just about everybody on the X-Men. Colossus has fought Hulk before - specifically the World War Hulk version - and it didn't go that great for the Russian mutant. Hulk broke both of Pitor's arms. Wolverine weighs about pounds or so, so he's not exactly a K Russian submarine, but he represents one of Colossus' most powerful feats of strength.
The Fastball Special is also probably the best tag-team combo move in all of comic books. By throwing Wolverine - an adamantium missile - with all his might, Colossus extends his range and by virtue of physics, generates a serious problem for his intended target. Either Wolverine hits them on the ascent, which is bad, or the descent, in which case he could be moving at terminal velocity. Terminal for the bad guys. Rogue can absorb the strength and mutant powers of others. She can also stack them.
In some cases, including her most dramatic displays of power, Rogue has utilized all the powers she's acquired at once, making her virtually unstoppable. It's probably a different outcome. Graduating from Full Sail University in good old humid Florida, Brian currently lives and works in New York City and lives for the day when all he has to do is wake up and create something unique and new for people to enjoy.
