TRIBUTE TO ROGUE
Real name: Anna Marie Raven
Other aliases: Carol Danvers, Ace
Place of birth: Caldecott County, Mississippi
Marital status: Married with 2 kids
Known relatives: Mystique (foster mother), Nightcrawler
Group affiliation: (current) X-Men, (former) Brotherhood of Evil Mutants III
First appearance: AVENGERS ANNUAL #10
Rogue has been one of my favourite Marvel character eversince…I mean, she’s like so beautiful but remained untouchable. Been following her character for years and everytime I read of her exploits I keep getting hooked on deeper and deeper into her character. Anyway, to the uninitiated, forget about what you know of Rogue from the x-men movies cos it totally does her a great deal of injustice.
History: Rogue's real name and the identities of her parents still remain unknown. She grew up in Caldecott County, Mississippi near the banks of the Mississippi River. Early in her teens Rogue discovered her mutant powers when she kissed a boy named Cody Robbins. He fell unconscious and her mind was suddenly filled with his memories. She soon learned that she had the power to absorb the memories and abilities of other people by touching them, but she could not control this power.
The distraught Rogue found refuge with the mutant Mystique, who was like a second mother to her. When Rogue grew older she joined Mystique's terrorist organization, the third Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. In battle with Carol Danvers, the original Ms. Marvel, Rogue absorbed her memories and superhuman powers. But, for unknown reasons, Rogue unintentionally absorbed them permanently rather than, as usual, temporarily. Thus Rogue gained Ms. Marvel's superhuman strength and ability to fly. She also now possessed a buried alternate personality that duplicated Danvers and that, in future years, would sometimes supplant her own.
As a member of Mystique's Brotherhood, Rogue battled the X-Men, the Avengers, the original Spider-Woman, the Dazzler, and Rom. But Rogue grew increasingly upset over her inability to control her absorption power and her fears that Danvers' psyche would overwhelm her own. Unable to find help from the Brotherhood, Rogue turned to her enemies, the X-Men, instead. Convinced of her sincerity, Professor Xavier admitted her to the team, and she quickly proved herself a loyal member.
She finally gained control of her absorption powers attributed to the powers of a telepathic aliens she absorbed. It actually did a total recall kinda thing. She was able to call upon all the powers she ever siphoned.
Known superhuman powers: Rogue possesses the superhuman ability to absorb the memories, knowledge, talents, personality, and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another human being (or members of some sentient alien races) through physical contact of her skin with the skin of the other person. (Sometimes she also duplicates in herself outward physical characteristics of her victim.) The victim's abilities and memories are absorbed for a time sixty times longer than the amount of time Rogue was in physical contact with that person. The victim loses his or her abilities and memories for exactly the length of time that Rogue possesses them. Due to unknown factors Rogue has permanently absorbed certain superhuman powers from Ms. Marvel I.
When Rogue possessed a duplicate of Carol Danvers' psyche, her "double" consciousness gave her high resistance to telepathic probes; it is not known if she still possesses this resistance.
Special limitations: Rogue cannot touch another human being without temporarily absorbing that person's memories, abilities, and superhuman powers (if any) and rendering him or her unconscious. Remnants of the personalities of victims whose memories she has absorbed remain buried in her subconscious indefinitely. Certain powerful beings have proven resistant to Rogue's power.
How cool is that, huh? Beautiful & Untouchable!
Rogue did get married to Gambit when she was able to control her kinesthetic powers. The pic above was just before the Age of Apocalypse saga. A time when everybody in the Marvel Universe thought the world had came to an end. A desperate Rogue decided to kiss Gambit right there and then. Anyway, the world didn't end and that kiss sent Gambit into a deep coma...!
