Anna Marie LeBeau | Rogue

Anna Marie was born to Priscilla and Owen in a back-to-nature hippie commune in Caldecott County, Mississippi. She was delivered by her aunt Carrie, her mother's sister. Although the prude Carrie believed Owen had ruined Priscilla's life, she still maintained a relationship with Priscilla and Anna Marie, who frequently visited her in their family's ancestral farmhouse. However, after Carrie reprimanded Priscilla for sharing the commune's attempt to use Native American mysticism to reach an ethereal plane known as the Far Banks, the sisters cut ties with each other. The ritual resulted in Priscilla's disappearance. Owen informed Carrie about the incident and left Anna Marie under her care while asking her to move in to the commune, which she refused. In her grief at the loss of her sister, Carrie proved to be a strict and authoritarian guardian to protect her niece. This led Anna Marie to be a rebellious child. Her poor relationship with her rigid aunt and distant father prompted her to run away from home as a kid. Fending for herself as a loner, the young girl was nicknamed by the locals as "Rogue", which became the only name she would go by. The skittish Rogue was approached by a warm-hearted Mystique, a mutant shapeshifter. Since Mystique was an outcast herself, Rogue trusted her. Mystique took Rogue in on the advice of her precognitive partner, Destiny. As part of a family, Rogue enjoyed happy moments with her mothers. However, due to Destiny's knowledge about the future, Mystique was secretly aware of Rogue's condition as a mutant and, in fact, had plans of using Rogue in her mission as a mutant terrorist. At some point, Rogue grew close to a boy named Cody Robbins. Mystique feared for their relationship, wishing to prevent any development from it. Still, during their flirtation, Rogue impulsively kissed Robbins, at which point her latent mutant power to absorb the life energy and psyche of others with skin-to-skin contact emerged. Cody Robbins was left in a coma from which he would not awaken. Rogue was traumatized by the experience, breaking her spirit to the point of embracing Mystique's mission. Not able to control her absorption powers at first, Rogue usually wore body-concealing clothing that eliminated the possibility of accidental skin contact. Now having powers, Rogue was introduced by Mystique to crime as part of her Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Soon, in their secret missions, Rogue realized how dreadful her powers could be as she shared her mind with those she acted against through touch. One of Destiny's visions predicted that the super-heroine Carol Danvers, the mighty Ms. Marvel, would ruin Rogue's life. In order to protect Rogue, Mystique had her Brotherhood attack Ms. Marvel with no success, leading to their arrest. Noticing Mystique's fury, Rogue decided to deal with their enemy by herself in secrecy. Learning Ms. Marvel would be in San Francisco, Rogue tackled her, wishing to prove her worth to the eyes of the Brotherhood. During a fight at the Golden Gate Bridge, Rogue's powers interacted with Ms. Marvel in an unexpected way: Rogue absorbed Ms. Marvel's alien-based powers and memories permanently. Rogue gained Ms. Marvel's incredible strength, near-invulnerability, the power of flight, but her psyche was fractured in the process, ironically consummating Destiny's prediction. Rogue disposed of the apparently lifeless body of Danvers, who was saved by Spider-Woman. Rogue's loneliness, envy, bitterness, and despair turned into anger. Wielding Ms. Marvel's abilities, she was ordered to defeat the Avengers, attacking them at their mansion headquarters in order to acquire enough power to break the arrested Brotherhood members free. Rogue was able to incapacitate Captain America and Thor, but was forced to retreat for not being able to subdue Wonder Man with her absorption powers. After regrouping with the Brotherhood at the prison on Ryker's Island, Rogue battled the Avengers one more time. The Avengers prevailed, prompting Mystique to escape with Rogue. Danvers was psychically treated by the telepath Professor Charles Xavier of the mutant group known as the X-Men, adversaries of Mystique and the Brotherhood. Unbeknownst to them, Mystique had secretly set base at the Pentagon. When Danvers and the X-Men Storm and Wolverine invaded the Pentagon to delete data they had on the X-Men, Rogue was casually seen by her victim. Danvers immediately unleashed her rage upon her aggressor, but Rogue proved to be a formidable foe, forcing Storm to send her out of the battle site with a cyclone. Soon after, Mystique and Rogue envisioned a plan to free their teammates from the Windust Maximum Security Prison. Impersonating the psychiatrist Dr. Kellogg, Rogue had access to the inmates. They were prevented from overcoming the authorities due to the efforts of the space knight Rom, but Rogue, Mystique, and Destiny still managed to run away, to resume their operations as a Sisterhood. They didn't travel very far before coming upon the half-human, half-Dire Wraith creature Hybrid. After a short battle, they decided to unite with the shared goal of defeating Rom. Rogue attacked Rom, but after feigning injury, Rogue kissed Rom on his faceplate with the intent of absorbing his powers. Instead, as emotions stirred in him from her kiss, she absorbed his sense of decency, something she'd never experienced before. The new experience would set the stage for Rogue's turn from villainy later on. Soon after, Hybrid's plans for using the women for breeding purposes was revealed to Destiny, and they joined Rom against him. In order for them to defeat Hybrid, Rogue ultimately had to absorb his powers, to her extreme disgust.
