It left Rogue feeling crazy and Carol's mind a blank slate. Rogue's first published appearance painted her to be something of a super-villain. She seemed to not care who she fought with and would hurt people to get what she wanted. Being able to take out a team of heroes like the Avengers would make her feared by many.
Yet her unpublished first appearance gave her context and made her a sympathetic character. She was a teenage girl who had unchecked mutant powers. The first person who gave her a home happened to be an evil mastermind but Rogue had no way of knowing that at the time. Her attack on Carol was driven by her need to appease her adopted mother.
Over Rogue's subsequent comic book appearances in X-Men , she left the evil team and joined the heroes.

Rogue survived due to possessing both Wolverine's and Hulk's powers. Returning to the city shortly after the battle to recover his sword, Vargas was surprised in turn by Rogue dressed in Psylocke's costume Vargas having killed Psylocke earlier for sport.
After a lengthy battle, Rogue "fulfilled her destiny" by seemingly finishing Vargas off with his own weapon. Returning to Gambit, Rogue, with the help of Jean Grey , forced him from near death.
Following the repulsion of the invasion, Rogue realized that Destiny's 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, as well as a sizable fortune, and the X-Treme X-Men team retired there to recuperate.
Rogue soon left the team with Gambit, since they both emerged powerless from their ordeals and wanted to explore their relationship further.
After life on the road with Gambit, Rogue ended up living in a beach house in Valle Soleada, a town where 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 Storm's X-Treme X-Men stop Sage's enemy and former boss Elias Bogan.
After the battle, Rogue asked Sage to restore Gambit's abilities, which she did. Gambit asked if the same could be done for Rogue's powers, but it was never revisited after Rogue quickly dismissed his comment. 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 and participated in various missions. Rogue then traveled down south to save a young mutant girl from her powers. While there, she met Campbell St. 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, considering her Aunt Carrie her mother now. Rogue then returned to the X-Men and confronted the monstrous Golgotha - large space creatures with telepathic abilities that induce insanity in some by bringing forth deep fears, insecurities, and hidden thoughts.
During this ordeal, as the result of Golgotha influence, Rogue and Gambit got into a fight about the reality of their relationship when limited by Rogue's powers. Wolverine, also under the influence of Golgotha, then revealed he has always had feelings for Rogue, and kisses her. Emma Frost tried to help the couple by providing relationship counseling, though their relationship was still problematic.
While on a trip to Japan to investigate an incriminating photo of her and Sunfire engaged in criminal activities, both Rogue and Sunfire learned that Rogue's former friend and teammate of the Brotherhood, Blindspot, has erased both their memories of the event. In this storyline, Rogue accidentally and permanently absorbed Sunfire's fire abilities who has lost his legs to Lady Deathstrike and did not want to live.
Rogue returns to the X-Mansion only to find that Gambit was being seduced by the student called Foxx. It is later revealed, however, that Mystique, displeased with Rogue's choice of lovers, infiltrated the Xavier Institute by shapeshifting into Foxx and joined Gambit's squad in an attempt to ruin his relationship with Rogue.
After Gambit resisted her charms, Mystique reverts to her true form and offered Gambit something more difficult to refuse: she transformed into Rogue and offered Gambit a Rogue with whom he could have a physical relationship.
Whether or not they actually engaged in a sexual relationship is uncertain although Gambit insists that nothing happened. Rogue eventually discovered her foster mother's presence in the school and her attempts to seduce Gambit, becoming furious with both parties, because Gambit failed to tell Rogue of Mystique's presence in the Institute, their relationship developed the exact rift Mystique was hoping for and allowed her to set up her daughter with her accomplice, Pulse.
After being discovered, Mystique asked the X-Men for permission to stay at the Mansion. In the events that followed M-Day, the mutant Apocalypse was reawakened; Gambit, seeking redemption from Rogue and his fellow X-Men, volunteered to be transformed into his horseman, Death.
Gambit believed he could control whatever Apocalypse would do to him, in hopes of only gaining more power to protect Rogue and the X-Men from the villain. However, having been brain-washed, Gambit tried to kill Rogue the only part of Gambit's past life that remains. After Apocalypse's defeat, Sunfire who was granted new legs and transformed into the horseman Famine , Rogue and Gambit left the X-Men to try and fix their lives. After Professor Xavier went into space with Havok and several ofther X-Men to go after the villain Vulcan , Cyclops gave Rogue the authority to form her own team, complimenting her inspired improvisation in battle situations.
She was hesitant at first, because of Gambit's recent disappearance with Sunfire, but accepted the position, saying that when he comes back, she'd still be at the school. Mystique seemingly tried to repair her relationship with Rogue, but is rebuffed. Rogue's team defeated the group known as the Children of the Vault.

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 the Destiny's diaries. As part of the attack, it was revealed 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 was shown standing over Rogue trying to get her to wake up after she had fallen into a trance overcome by the minds she absorbed , and expressed 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 she briefly woke up and recognized 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 mutant baby who was at the center of Messiah Complex. However the baby eventually took precedence and the X-Men did not recover or even see Rogue.
Sinister, now 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 will be no cure for Rogue and she will 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 awakens shortly after. Realizing what Mystique had done at the risk of killing the baby, Rogue said she's 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 has ever touched and that only herself and Mystique are left in her mind. She said she needed to be alone and told Gambit not to follow her. Rogue takes some time out from the X-Men and travels around the Australian outback on a motorcycle.
Once there, she has a conversation with Mystique a part of Rogue's psyche , telling her that no one else can help her with her powers and that it was down to her to figure out how to control them.
One day, a woman appears in town claiming to be an anthropologist from Melbourne University. Rogue made it clear she could stay as long as she wants, but to keep out of her way. The anthropologist approached Rogue with questions about some of the remains she has found in the town.
Rogue said she does not know anything about the remains and to leave her alone. The anthropologist follows Rogue and explains she actually has a different identity. The anthropologist was then targeted by a low flying Shi'ar spaceship and revealed that she was actually Danger in disguise.
She informs Rogue she planned to get revenge on Professor Xavier by using her as a conduit. Danger 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's psyche take control of Rogue's body and save her as the fake Marauder Scalphunter shot at her. Mystique then took over Rogue's body to save her and fought off the Marauders, then returned control of Rogue's body to her.
Rogue then wandered to the fake Tokyo Tower and tried to find the Institute, deducing that the projections around her were changing at ten-minute intervals, altering the environment around her.
However, Rogue did not get far as she ended up in Antarctica, witnessing the moment she abandoned Gambit after his trial.
She regretted her decisions there, telling Mystique that she really had not moved on. It was at that point that Cody Robbins appeared before Rogue, repeating his greeting from the night her powers manifested. Rogue just stared at him in shock. Eventually the Professor, Gambit and a group of Shi'ar pirates managed to shut down Danger.
However, the Professor reactivated her and she defeated the pirates in turn. After this, it was revealed that Rogue's powers never truly developed past their initial "nascent" stage, which was the reason why her powers never functioned properly. The Professor, now aware of this fact, used his telepathy to tear down the mental walls that kept Rogue's powers from developing the walls were created as a side effect every time she absorbed other people starting with Cody, and even more so with Ms.
Marvel , and removed the mental echo of Mystique. Finally Rogue kissed Gambit, with no ill side effect, revealing that she was finally in control of her absorption power.
On their way there they are intercepted by Pixie who teleports them into the city, which is in a state of chaos due to the anti-mutant and pro-mutant movements.

During the events of X-Men vs. Vampires 1, Rogue battles a group of vampires that are trying to feed from a girl that they have chased into an alley.
One of the vampires wants to spare Rogue, but another insists that she must die, despite the fact that "She is a dead ringer for the chick who plays Sookie ". Times were hard before the Internet appeared in homes across the world. Nowadays, if you want to see naked drawings of a comic book character, then they are a few Google searches away.
In the olden days, the best you could hope for was Marvel releasing some more of their patented Swimsuit Issues. In , Marvel released the first of several Marvel Swimsuit Specials. These are exactly what you think they are. Each issue was filled with pictures of popular Marvel characters in their swimwear. You might think that these comics are just filled with pictures of girls in bikinis.
That is not the case. The Marvel Swimsuit Specials were also filled with lots of scantily clad men as well. It was clear that Marvel never took these issues seriously, as characters like Ghost Rider got a spread.
Rogue appeared several times in these issues. She also holds the distinction of being the only character to appear on the cover on multiple occasions. She shared the second cover with Gambit.
In most of Rogue's appearances across the different forms of X-Men media, her origin story has remained the same. She was a normal teenage girl from Mississippi, who had no indication that she was a mutant. On her first date, she kissed a boy named Cody and her powers activated. The severity of Cody's injuries differs depending on the adaptation, but the incident causes Rogue to run away from home.
She is eventually adopted by Mystique, who helps her to understand her mutant abilities. The fate of Cody has been mentioned in several different X-Men series. In X-Men: Evolution, he awakens from a coma after a month and seems no worse for wear. He acts as a representative of a race based off the Brood and attempts to infect the X-Men with spores that will turn them into aliens. Cody's eventual fate in the comics is even more bizarre than in "Love in Vain".
In the Rogue miniseries, Cody is awoken from the coma that he had been in for many years and is used in a plot by Gambit's ex-wife, Bella Donna. In the end, Cody is killed by Bella Donna before Rogue can tell him show she really feels. At the end of the series, Rogue visits a spirit medium called Tante Mattie. She summons the ghost of Cody so that Rogue can say goodbye to him a proper way. In the Deadpool video game, you encounter several members of the X-Men.
At one point in the game, you have to help Rogue after she has been injured by a Sentinel. In this iteration of the character, Rogue does not have the powers of Ms. Marvel, maker her vulnerable to damage. After defeating Blockbuster in a boss battle, Deadpool has to catch Rogue as she falls unconscious from the ceiling.
In order to heal Rogue, Deadpool kisses her so that she can absorb his healing factor. The problem is, the kiss goes on too long Once Rogue kisses Deadpool, his personality passes into her. For a brief period of time, you get to play as Deadpool within Rogue's body. She even wears Deadpool's mask and takes his weapons for her own.
While Deadpool is unconscious from being drained by Rogue, you have to protect his body from enemies. This means playing as Rogue while she is being possessed by Deadpool. The original X-Men cartoon ended in With the first X-Men movie gearing up for release in the year , Marvel wanted to create a new X-Men cartoon series that followed the setting created by the film.
X-Men: Evolution was the new show. It attempted to distance itself from the original animated series. It would go on to forge its own identity away from the film series and would become the third longest-running Marvel cartoon show after X-Men and Spider-Man. Like in the first X-Men movie, Rogue was a central part of the story. She was portrayed as a goth girl, who was bitter about the effect of her powers. Throughout the series, the show implied that a relationship was blossoming between Rogue and Cyclops.
This actually makes a lot of sense, as the two of them are alike in a lot of ways. Rogue and Cyclops were both forced away from their families at a young age. They also share a fear of their own powers and the damage they could potentially do.
After X-Men: Evolution ended, the director of the show revealed that Rogue and Cyclops did indeed end up together. During the final scene of the show, we see a flash-forward to the events of the future. Rogue lands next to Cyclops, which was intended as a clue to their upcoming relationship. Throughout most of her time among the X-Men, Rogue has always been haunted by her powers.
After nearly killing her first boyfriend with a kiss, she had come to the conclusion that she would never be able to have a physical relationship with another person. This became a central part of her character arc in the X-Men movies. She attempts to be in a relationship with Iceman but is afraid that she will lose him to a girl who might not accidentally kill him with a touch. Rogue's melodrama has always had a solution and the writers have always just ignored it. For whatever reason, the writers used to use Rogue's romantic problems as a source of cheap drama.
The fact is, there are numerous devices that can strip a mutant of their powers. There are also mutants and heroes who possess the ability to suppress the powers of others.
There is a member of X-Factor named Forge, who has the mutant ability to create any device. He once made a weapon that could nullify the powers of a mutant.
