Rogue

Rogue is a long-time, central character in the X-Men world within the Marvel Universe. Her beginnings were as a simple villain being led on by Mystique. But her battle with Carol Danvers and the absorption of her powers of strength and flight stuck and became definitive of her for many years. The encounter with Carol Danvers also had the side-effect of introducing Rogue to the X-Men, whose line-up she would never leave again.

Anna Marie, the girl who would become Rogue, ran away from home at an early age after bristling under the controlling nature of her aunt Carrie. Mystique encountered Anna Marie after she had embraced her "Rogue" nickname, and essentially adopted her alongside Destiny, Mystique's pre-cognitive mutant lover. Before long, Rogue's mutant powers manifested for the first time when she kissed a boy named Cody and left him comatose. Eventually, Rogue realized she could never have a normal life and accepted her role in Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Rogue fought with Ms. Marvel during one of her early Brotherhood missions, and without intending to, she permanently absorbed her foe's memories and powers.

Shortly thereafter, Rogue and the Brotherhood attacked the Avengers and nearly defeated them. Rogue went on to menace heroes such as Dazzler, the X-Men, and one of the Spaceknights, as Carol Danvers' ongoing presence in her mind quickly eroded her sanity. With no one else to turn to who could help her, Rogue approached the X-Men and their mentor, Professor Charles Xavier. Over the objections of his other students (and a very violent objection from Danvers herself), Xavier allowed Rogue to join the team.

Despite their early misgivings, the X-Men came to accept Rogue after she put herself on the line to save Wolverine's fiancée, Mariko Yashida, and Colossus. Over time, Rogue became one of the most trusted X-Men, and has gone on to both join and lead the Avengers Unity Squad.

Rogue speaks like a southern belle. Calls people "sugar" a lot.

Powers and Abilities Rogue is a mutant with the ability to drain a living being's essence upon physical contact, giving them a biophysical shock while synthesizing into her body their physical skills, memories, personality traits, and superhuman matrices to a varying degree. Prolonged physical touch could be lethal to whomever she contacts. After some work with Danger and Professor X, she has gained control of her power. Now that she has conscious control of her ability, if she so chooses, she can now physically touch people without unwillingly absorbing their powers or minds. During her time without powers, Rogue has proven that she is a very capable and agile hand-to-hand fighter.

However this ability was lost at one point, for the next several years Rogue was once again unable to touch anyone until Xandra, the offspring of Charles Xavier and Lilandra Nerumi, was able evolve her powers. In the Mojoverse Rogue dove into her own subconsciousness to realize that her fear was preventing her from gaining full control of her life-force absorption power, once she came to that conclusion she was finally able to control it.

She also displayed the ability to review templates and use powers that she absorbed in the past, though she has not displayed this ability since her psyche was repaired by Charles Xavier.

There are limitations as to how much power she can absorb. Extremely powerful individuals like Ares can remain conscious after Rogue uses her power on them, and even retain a degree of their power that Rogue was unable to siphon.

Current Abilities Super Strength & Flight - Rogue was able to absorb the powers of many Avengers and X-Men all at once so that she could help Sentry repel the attack of a Celestial. When the job was completed, the Scarlet Witch cast a spell to return everyone's powers and clear Rogue's mind of their psyches. Unfortunately, the psyche and powers of Simon Williams were permanently trapped in Rogue, granting her flight and super strength with permanence. Absorption - Rogue can absorb anyone's powers and memories by just being near them.

Sentinels are giant robots created to destroy mutants.
