BIOGRAPHY Without the capacity to control her mutant ability to absorb memories and powers, the young woman known as Rogue walks a dark path. However, Rogue successfully redeems herself as a heroine and becomes a leader among the X-Men and the Avengers.

Going Rogue Anna Marie, the girl who would become Rogue, runs away from home at an early age after bristling under the controlling nature of her aunt Carrie. Mutant metamorph Raven Darkhölme, AKA Mystique encounters Anna Marie when she goes by her "Rogue" nickname, and essentially adopts her alongside Irene Adler, AKA Destiny, Mystique's pre-cognitive mutant lover. Before long, Rogue's mutant powers manifest for the first time when she kisses a boy named Cody and leaves him comatose. Eventually, Rogue realizes she could never have a normal life and accepts her role in Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Rogue fights with Carol Danvers, AKA Ms. Marvel, during one of her early Brotherhood missions, and without intending to, she permanently absorbs her foe's memories and powers. Shortly thereafter, Rogue and the Brotherhood attack the Avengers and nearly defeat them. Rogue goes on to menace heroes such as Alison Blaire, AKA Dazzler, the X-Men, and one of the Spaceknights, as Carol Danvers' ongoing presence in her mind quickly erodes her sanity. With no one else to turn to who could help her, Rogue approaches the X-Men and their mentor, Professor Charles Xavier, AKA Professor X. Over the objections of his other students (and a very violent objection from Danvers herself), Xavier allows Rogue to join the team. Despite their early misgivings, the X-Men come to accept Rogue once she puts herself on the line to save James Howlett/Logan, AKA Wolverine's fiancée, Mariko Yashida, and Piotr Rasputin, AKA Colossus. Over time, Rogue becomes one of the most trusted X-Men, and goes on to both join and lead the Avengers Unity Squad.

Power Drain Rogue's mutant ability often requires skin-to-skin contact to absorb memories, powers, personality traits, physical talents, and strength. For most of her heroic career, Rogue is unable to control her power, and anyone she touches will almost immediately fall unconscious. However, Rogue's inability to regulate her power is largely psychological in nature, which she eventually overcomes with the help of Charles Xavier, Rita Wayword, AKA Spiral, and herself when conquering her fears. She can eventually take abilities and memories from humans and mutants without harming them and without touch. When infused with Danvers' powers, Rogue has super-strength, flight, and becomes nearly invulnerable to poisons and physical trauma. Rogue also inherits Danver's precognitive "seventh sense," but cannot  fully utilize it. Rogue briefly retains Shiro Yoshida, AKA Sunfire's abilities to control fire, and she has ongoing access to Simon Williams, AKA Wonder Man's super-strength, flight, and a degree of invulnerability from his ionic energy. At times, Rogue's powers render her unable to control her absorption ability.

The Deadliest of Foes As a heroine, Rogue has no shortage of enemies, though her most personal nemesis may be Bella Donna Boudreaux, the ex-wife of Remy LeBeau, AKA Gambit. Their mutual love for the same man doesn’t immediately put them on a collision course; however, Rogue gives into temptation when she steals Bella Donna's memories while comatose. Bella Donna never forgives Rogue for that violation, and the escalation of their feud claims the life of Cody, Rogue's oldest friend. Rogue holds a very personal grudge against Johann Shmidt, AKA Red Skull, for defiling the body of Charles Xavier to gain his telepathic abilities. Alongside two incarnations of the Avengers Unity Squad, Rogue leads the hunt for the Red Skull and makes it her mission to take back what he steals from her mentor, while  coming to terms with Xavier's demise.

Richard Palance, AKA Pandemic, Vargas, Eric Williams, AKA Grim Reaper, and Amahl Farouk, AKA Shadow King, number among Rogue's most dangerous adversaries. Rogue's encounters with these villains very nearly ends her life and threatens her soul. Rogue may have also made herself a target of the Black Order and Proxima Midnightspecifically, when killing her husband, Corvus Glaive, in a battle to save the Earth.

Friends and Frenemies Rogue has a complex relationship with Mystique, whom she regards as her mother, some of the time. In her own way, Mystique loves Rogue as well, but that doesn’t stop her from exploiting Rogue's powers as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Their relationship undergoes tests to the breaking point and beyond, and sometimes have an uneasy peace between them. Rogue is much closer to her foster-mother, Destiny. Years later, Rogue discovers that her only close friend in the Brotherhood is another young woman who calls herself Blindspot. However, Blindspot disappears from Rogue's life as quickly as she re-enters it. Among the X-Men, Rogue forms close friendships with Wolverine, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, Ororo Munroe, AKA Storm, Bobby Drake, AKA Iceman, Sam Guthrie, AKA Cannonball, Betsy Braddock, Jubilation Lee, AKA Jubilee, Longshot, and her foster brother, Kurt Wagner, AKA Nightcrawler. She shares a bond with Johnny Storm, AKA Human Torch, and Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool, and she becomes much friendlier with Janet Van Dyne, AKA the Wasp, Thor Odinson, AKA Thor, and other members of her team she once fought against. However, Rogue's antagonistic relationship with Wanda Maximoff, AKA Scarlet Witch, remains tense. Rogue eventually makes peace with her former enemies, Blaire and Danvers.
