Must See Episodes

Personality

Rogue is an uncertain and insecure teenager, not the voluptuous bombshell she was in the comics. She isolates herself from other people because of her mutant ability, which prevents her from making any physical (skin-to-skin) contact with people.

Rogue's isolation leads her to be petulant, sarcastic and alarmingly defensive. As a result of her isolation, Rogue has trouble trusting people. Since joining the X-Men, Rogue has become closest with her roommate, Kitty, and maintains a crush on the X-Men's field leader, Scott.

Although she recently showed interest in Magneto's henchman Gambit, as they both realized that they had a great deal in common (including adopted parents who prefer to nurture their powers rather than them), and are now friends, if nothing else, though, there seems to be more to it than that.

However, Rogue is also very intelligent. She had two separate classes with Scott Summers, who is a year older than her, meaning that she has jumped forward a year in at least two of her classes, possibly more. She also seems to be quite well-read, as she recognized a quotation by Beast from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Physical appearance

Rogue has short auburn hair with white streaks as bangs in the front of her hair. She has grey eyes and a pale skin complexion, and she wears purplish-blackish makeup and lipstick. Rogue's most frequently-seen outfit consists of a sheer long-sleeved green blouse over a black halter top, a short black leather skirt, and black leggings. She wears thick combat boots, and dog collars around her neck and wrists. Black gloves cover her hands and easily come off when Rogue needs them to. So overall, she appears to be quite Goth. She has on occasion worn over this a long, dark brown coat.

In her second outfit, Rogue shows more skin as she wears a dark, purple halter top, long purple gloves that come up to about her shoulders, and a knee length skirt covered with a white chain that hangs around her waist. Knee high boots are worn, and a light that purple scarf protects her neck and chest areas.

Her third outfit is less dressy, and a little less gothic. She wears a purple shirt tied at the front and it falls onto her shoulders, showing some skin. Underneath the shirt is her black halter top. Either black or really dark blue jeans are worn instead of a skirt. They have tears around her knees. Sneakers are worn instead of boots. Again, gloves protect her hands from her power.

In her X-Men uniform, Rogue wears a dark, navy blue bodysuit. Gold platelets with the "X" logo are on both of her shoulders while a green platelet goes around her bust area. A gold utility belt, also marking the "X" logo, goes around her waist, while small platelets protect her knees. Knee-high boots are worn for shoes, and thick, brown gloves worn on both hands.

Powers & Abilities

Rogue has the ability to absorb a person's life force through direct skin contact, acquiring the individual's memories, skills, powers and a fraction of the individual's personality for a limited time. The longer she stays in contact with them, the longer she retains the skills and abilities she absorbs. If she maintains contact for too long, she may put the other person in a coma or even kill them. However, Rogue retains the memories of her victims for a much longer period. 

Spykecam - rogue tap kitty

Rogue absorbing Kitty's dancing skills

Even though the powers and skills she absorbs fade away, her mind retains a psionic imprint of every individual she has ever used her powers on. In the episode Self Possessed, following the absorption of Mystique's shape-shifting abilities, all the previous personalities that Rogue had absorbed begin to struggle for control of her body, and she begins to assume the physical appearance of, as well as manifest their powers, such as, among others, Sabretooth, Juggernaut, Magneto, Cyclops, Multiple and Storm

Ultimately, she was able to use all the abilities she had ever absorbed for a brief period, though this posed considerable risk, even to her, before Professor Xavier used his telepathic powers to wipe all the imprinted personalities from her mind. Later, in the episode Dark Horizon I, Rogue absorbed and consciously used the powers of the X-Men, Brotherhood, and Magneto's Acolytes, showing that, with time and development, she may be able to access past abilities and skills she had absorbed.

It is currently unknown if she can absorb abilities from mutants with artificial enhancements, such as Wolverine, who has Adamantium bonded to his skeleton and claws, making them nearly indestructible.

Early Life

Rogue&Scott

Scott talking to Jean though Rogue

In terms of her birth, Rogue's is a complete mystery. Born to an unknown mother and father, she was adopted by the shape-shifter Raven Darkhölme when she was four. At some point, Rogue was entrusted to the care of Irene Adler, and she and Mystique went to great lengths to hide her in a secluded area. The area they eventually chose was the backwater town of Caldecott County Mississippi. This is where Rogue grew up and where she considers home. As Irene had foreseen the form Rogue's powers would take, they also took extensive steps to ensure Rogue's isolation from contact with others as much as possible.

In spite of these precautions, while attending a party Rogue's powers manifested for the first time. She possesses the ability to take energy, memories, personality traits, and (if they are mutants) their powers for a short time through touching their skin. When she first got her powers, she was unable to control the powers she obtained. She also could not distinguish the memories taken from whom she touched from her own, causing significant confusion.

Season 1

Due to the machinations of Mystique, Rogue initially distrusted the X-Men and joined the Brotherhood of Mutants, but after learning that Mystique tricked her by attacking her posing as members of the X-Men, she switched loyalties. At first annoyed by Nightcrawler's joking behavior, she becomes close to him after learning that she is his adopted sister, and both renounce Mystique for abusing them. The series established no birth name for Rogue and gave no hints to it after her introductory episode. Rogue's mutant ability allows her to draw upon the aspects of another (memories, habits, speech patterns, powers (if mutant) through bare skin to skin contact. It is uncontrollable and possibly deadly.

Rogue was infatuated with Scott during the first and second season and generally was hostile towards Jean because of it. She seems to be largely over her crush in later seasons, but clearly still harbors some emotional attachment to Scott even then.

  • Rogue Recruit
Rogue Recruit- Rogue dancing

Dancing...

In Mississippi, outside of a school dance, Rogue's standing on the deck overlooking the sunset. Two boys come outside as well while her back is turned, one encouraging the other to make a move and reasoning that he had been staring at her all night. Though he initially hesitates, his friend convinces him and he comes up to her. Rogue turns to him and asks him if she can help him. Cody Robbins struggles to ask her for a dance before she starts to tell him that she is really just hanging out but soon changes her mind when she sees his sad expression, questioning what the harm would be in one dance.

She begins to dance with him and is soon knocked over. At that same moment, her foster mother Destiny is sensing her contact with him and though she cannot hear her, urges her foster daughter not to touch him. After she does, she merely utters "My dear child," in horror. However, this has not commenced yet, as Cody and Rogue are dancing away from each other. It does occur when Cody's friend, Ty tells him to get closer and to make his move before pushing him towards her, unintentionally knocking him into her. After Cody apologizes for pushing her down, he tries to help her up before the touch knocks him out. 

Rogue Recruit-Powers emmerge

Powers emerging...

Rogue soon has his memories and questions who she is after seeing them in her mind. While shaking and asking his comatose friend what was wrong, Ty asks Rogue what she did to him as she clings to her head and begins to run for the door as he runs after her and tries to block her exit. While seeing a memory of Cody pushing a rival football player out of the way during a game, Rogue does the exact same and pushes the boy in front of her. After being pushed aside and watching Rogue run, Ty remarks that he thought only Cody had moves like that.

Meanwhile, Charles Xavier tells the X-Men that Cerebro had detected a new mutant, of whom is Rogue and he believes to be a danger to herself and others. He tells the group that they are dealing with a rogue. In the meantime, Rogue is frantically running around in streets and nearly gets ran over before a man stops as she continues running and calls her a crazy kid as Rogue goes back to Cody's house. She even gets into the house, using the spare key left on the roof.

Rogues Recruit- talk w kurt

Hanging with Kurt...

Rogue is then seemingly attacked by Wolverine, whom turns out to be Mystique in disguise. She chases Rogue out of the house and then soon morphs into Storm continuing her pursuit by attacking her with fake lightning. Irene tries to get Rogue to come with her, before Wolverine comes with Shadowcat and Nightcrawler, causing Rogue to continue running. Soon afterward, Rogue is confronted by Nightcrawler as he tells her about the prejudice he received for his appearance and his powers. However, just as the two were connecting, Shadowcat lunges at her and pins her down before Rogue easily manages to push her off of herself. While in the midst of their struggle, Rogue accidentally touches Nightcrawler, rendering him unconscious as she quickly teleports away from the scene to a graveyard.

Rogue Recruit- Rogue and Jean Grey

In the graveyard, Rogue discovered she could speak German and found out Nightcrawler's real name as she started to have fun with his powers before teleporting and hurting herself. She began to sulk, asking herself when her nightmare would end. Later, she was confronted by Jean Grey, whom she recognized immediately from Kurt's memories before concluding that she was like the others. However, Jean convinces Rogue by reasoning that if she knew who she was then she knew Jean wouldn't hurt her. As Jean levitated a communicator to her, Rogue cited it as the latest fashion accessory before Cyclops and Storm arrive with the latter telling her that all the X-Men have one. Upon seeing Storm, Rogue recognizes her and quickly runs off.

Rogue Recruit- Rogue out of control powers

Rogue with Storm's powers.

There, she was attacked by Mystique posing as Cyclops, who claimed as him that you could not escape from the X-Men. She continued running and stumbled into the real Cyclops, much to her confusion as she shoves him away from her. She also came across Mystique again, this time posing as Jean. As her she stated that she guessed some people would not be helped before attacking her but Rogue teleports away. As the real Jean sees her, she asks her if she is hurt and tells her not to move but Rogue backs away from her. Storm comes behind her and asks what is wrong, telling her that the X-Men are her friends before she is touched by Rogue. When Cyclops runs over to the three, he questions what the added details of Rogue's powers are from before realizing that she has gained Storm's powers and soon tells Jean to both trying to shot her down, telling her that she has Storm's powers, yet Rogue does not have her control. Rogue soon hits a power-line, prompting Cyclops to tell Jean that if they hit the water Storm's in, she will be electrocuted. Rogue stresses that she has too much power and that she cannot control it before teleporting away.

Rogue Recruit-R going to bayville

Welcome to Bayville!

Later, Mystique as Ms. Darkhölme welcomes Rogue to Bayville High and ensures her that she will be happy there. Rogue thanks her and leaves before Magneto begins to talk to Mystique. Magneto asks if she is certain that all of Rogue's positive memories of the X-Men have faded. Mystique tells him that she is positive. Outside the office, Rogue clings on to the communicator that she was given by Jean, and looks on.

He tells her they're not who she thinks they are, and that she's been lied to. He tells her she can join them. She tells him no thanks and starts to walk away. Paul walks up and says that everyone is looking for them. Rogue says she bets that they never practice fighting Paul.

The X-kids are running full tilt, and complaining about Scott, how all he cares about is winning the race.

Scott sends Kurt up to make sure that the flag is still up top. Then he gets Evan to Spyke a rope up to the top so they can win. Evan asks if he's sure he wants to do it that way and Scott says yes.

Asteroid M begins to fall and Alex and Scott use their powers to blast it apart as it crashes towards them. They both collapse to the ground back to normal.

The X-Jet lands and Scott apologizes to everyone for the way he's been acting. Alex says so much for Havok, but at least I have my brother back. Xavier tells Alex that they'll help him with his powers if he wants and that they'll do it together, unified, as the X-Men.

Season 2

Between the defeat of Magneto and the expansion of the X-Men with the introduction of the New Mutants, Rogue had not changed much and continued to be a vital member of the X-Men. Rogue started to teach the new kids, alongside Cyclops, Jean Grey, Shadowcat, Spyke and Nightcrawler. Rogue was shown throughout the season that she has a major crush on the X-Men's field leader, Cyclops.

Outside Risty tells Rogue not to worry about it and leaves.

Rogue marches off mad.

  • The Hex Factor

At the Xavier Institute, Professor Xavier calls the students to meet him in the library, that it's top priority. Professor Xavier tells the students about Wanda and that she has escaped. He tells them that her anger stems from her father abandoning her in the hospital as a child. Rogue suggests that maybe she just ran away but Xavier believes that someone else plans to use Wanda's powers against the X-Men.

Hex Factor 34 Cyclops n Rogue

Rogue helps retrieve Cyclops' visor

Professor Xavier tells the X-Men that he has found the location of Wanda and that she join The Brotherhood boys. Xavier also detected that the Brotherhood are at the Bayville Mall, committing a break-in. The X-Men arrive at the mall and easily defeat all of the Brotherhood.

The X-Men have just about finished the Brotherhood when Wanda shows up. The place starts going haywire and the X-Men are scattered. As each of the X-men try to take on Wanda, their powers turn against them. Spyke is hit by his own spikes, Cyclops' blasts go out of control, Shadowcat is trapped halfway in phasing through the floor. Nightcrawler teleports her free, but the two of them are dumped into some trees outside. Jean talks Cyclops into retreating, telling him that Wanda is too strong, they can't beat her. As the X-Men retreat, the Brotherhood celebrate their victory.

Outside the X-men regroup to head home. Xavier tells them that it's his fault for not teaching them how to deal with someone like Wanda. As Scott and the others act like a bunch of sore losers and start to mope away, Xavier tells them that the way they handle defeat is as much a mark on their character as coming home the victor, and from what he's seeing, it was a lesson that was very much needed.

  • The Stuff of Heros
The Stuff of Heroes - 4 Wolv n rogue

Rogue and Logan come flying into the cave with the military right behind them.

The Stuff of Heroes - 17 rogue

The Stuff of Heroes - 41 rogue n jugg

Juggernaut loses hold of Cyclops and Nightcrawler ports him to safety as Rogue continues to absorb his powers. Finally, the two of them collapse. Juggernaut rises to his feet first and goes after the unconscious Rogue. Rogue gets up before he can reach her, and as he swings at her full force she bats his fist away. They go head to head, but Juggernaut can't touch Rogue. She lifts him up over her head and throws him from the top of the dam. In mid-flight, Iceman freezes him into a huge block of Ice. Then they lose track of him.

On the dam, Rogue collapses. As Jean and Cyclops rush to help her she tells them that she just absorbed a huge part of Juggernaut's mind. She now knows where the Professor is. Later, the President gives a speech saying that the X-Men have been cleared of all charges and that the real villain behind the Sentinel fiasco, Bolivar Trask, has been jailed. He says that everyone should be more open-minded about mutants and that from now on, they should be free of any prosecution.


  • Mainstream
Mainstream - New Mutants IIII

Xavier mentally wakes up the rest of the X-kids and calls the older kids into a meeting. All of the students are now crowded into a few rooms in the sub floors. At the meeting, Xavier tells them that they're going to be allowed back to school for one day as long as they do not use their powers. That night the school board is holding a meeting to vote on whether or not to ban mutants from the schools permanently.

Kitty tells him thanks, but Kurt rambles on about having to be somewhere and runs off.

The Brotherhood and Duncan team up and start a fight with the other X-kids in the parking lot outside. Scott tells the others that they are not to use their power, no matter what. So the X-kids take a beating and do their best to get out of harm's way. Lance starts to bring down the entire auditorium.

The Brotherhood steps it up a notch and the X-Men are finally forced to use their powers to save the innocent bystanders. Kurt finally steps in to help and when the X-Men regroup and the Brotherhood runs off. The X-Men stand in front of the auditorium and look sadly at the destroyed parking lot.

Next morning, Xavier calls everyone to another meeting. Logan asked if they are on their way to a funeral as everyone walks by with sadden faces. He tells them that the board voted to allow them back into school. The kids aren't too happy about going back, but Xavier tells them that it's not only an honor for them to be taking the first step in this "new world", but it's also their responsibility for the mutants yet to come. He tells them how proud he is of them, and that no matter what, the X-Men will endure.

Season 4

Impact- Rogue II

Rogue is still so angry at Mystique for lying to her.

Rogue shows a romantic interest in Gambit in Dark Horizon I where she kisses him to absorb his powers while being mind-controlled. However, she could have just touched his skin like she did to everyone else.

When Mesmero returned to enslave Rogue, using her to absorb all of the powers of the X-Men, The Brotherhood and The Acolytes. During Jean and Scott's graduation ceremony, Magneto and his team arrived, ruining the ceremony, and allowing Magneto to tell them what Rogue had done. The two teams combined, and Charles Xavier realized that he might know where Tomb of Apocalypse was. With the help of Cerebro, Charles unlocked the memories he gained from Mesmero and believed to have found that Apocalypse was entombed underneath Giza. However, when the combined Brotherhood/X-Men team arrived, they found out it was a trap, and fought their way through to an ancient room, where Beast translated the Hieroglyphics and found out that En Sabah Nur was the first mutant, and that an ancient pharaoh named Rama-Tut had found a ship hr believed not of this Earth, though it had really been created in the future, and that Apocalypse had seized control of it in order to turn all the world's people into mutants. Using his own mind to control the ship, Xavier teleported them all to Apocalypse's real tomb in Tibet, where Gambit, Sabretooth, and Wolverine had tracked Mesmero, Rogue, and Mystique to already. However, the team arrived too late to stop Apocalypse from drawing all of their powers from Rogue and becoming powerful enough to live up to his name

Rogue is dealing with a lot of feelings of hatred and betrayal due to her adopted mother really being Mystique who, originally, only adopted her to use her for her powers. Still so angry at her after she has turned to stone, Rogue pushes her off a cliff to finally end her and to try and heal herself, much to Kurt's dismay. Later in "Cajun Spice", Remy kidnaps Rogue, claiming she'd looked so unhappy for the past couple weeks and brought her with him to New Orleans. However, she was mad once again that he, too, was using her for her powers. It is unclear where their feelings stand for each other at the end after he tries to apologize to Rogue, who leaves him to go back with the X-Men.

At the end of the series finale, Gambit is shown as part of the extended team of X-Men, with his arm around Rogue, hinting that, eventually, Rogue and Gambit do become romantically involved.

The Future

Future-X-men

Future Rogue

When Charles Xavier was under Apocalypse's control, he was able to scan the mind of Apocalypse. In The Future, Xavier saw adult versions of the X-Men including Rogue. She's shown to be wearing a dark navy blue X-Men uniform underneath a dark brown trench coat, similar to the one she wore on occasion in the series, with gray combat boots. She's wearing a black choker necklace with the "X" logo and a gold utility belt also bearing the "X" logo. Rogue's hair is now parted to the right side of her face. Though she is never shown gaining Ms. Marvel's abilities, Rogue is seen flying and noticeably not wearing gloves, indicating that she does eventually gain the ability to activate her power at will.

Relationships

Scott's relationship to Rogue is closer than others. It was because of Scott's reaching out to Rogue that she eventually left The Brotherhood to join the X-Men. Risty was one of the first to point out how blatant Rogue's crush on Scott was. Rogue still isn't entirely over the fact that Scott has chosen Jean over her. Scott is probably the only one who understands Rogue's feelings of not being able to touch people. He respects it and tries to make her feel better when she's really upset. Scott and Rogue do share a close friend relationship, but nothing romantic.

At the start of the series, Rogue very much disliked Jean, partly due to jealousy over Jean having Cyclops as her boyfriend, and also Jean represents everything Rogue is not. Beautiful, perfect, friendly, and she had manageable powers that did not keep her from having physical contact with others. Despite Jean's efforts to show her kindness and friendship, Rogue was generally hostile towards her. But by the end of the second season, as she let go of her crush on Cyclops, Rogue began to respect Jean as a team member. She seems to understand that Jean is trying to help her as are all of the X-Men, and realizes that even the most popular people have flaws (including their mutant powers).

Kurt is a good friend to Rogue. In the beginning of the series, Rogue thought of Kurt as an annoying "little brother". What a coincidence because Kurt is Rogue's foster brother as Kurt is Mystique's biological son, and Rogue is Mystique's adopted daughter. Kurt and Rogue share a brother/sister relationship and they both share a similar lifestyle of being withdrawn from society due to their mutant powers and appearance.

Rogue and Kitty have an odd but close friendship. At first, Rogue didn't like Kitty much as her bubbly and perky personality annoyed her. Rooming with Kitty has proven difficult at times too, but they have learned to live with each other despite their differences. They are seen sometimes hanging out together at school.

For a while, Rogue did not share much with Logan. She knew he was a loner like her, but she kept her distance from him because he seemed so stern with the students. Plus Rogue kept her distance from everyone at first due to her powers. Recently though when Rogue's powers tried to take over, Logan was there to help Rogue the most as he understood the confusion and strain Rogue was going through inside her own mind. Since then they have become close with each other with Logan acting as a father figure towards Rogue.

Irene is Rogue's foster mother who raised her during Mystique's absence for about five years before she left for Bayville. It is unknown when and how Rogue came under Irene's care but Irene truly and genuinely cares for Rogue as if she were her own daughter as Irene wants what is best for her. After she joined the X-Men, Rogue did not see much of Irene and rarely mentioned her. But, Rogue did clarify that Irene was always a good mother to her even though she could be very strict (which may be possibly due to Irene's precautions of Rogue's then soon-to-be powers). Also, it's possible this was her own way of coping with missing Irene. Sometime later, Irene smashed back into Rogue's life when she predicted Rogue's powers getting out of control and the danger it would have towards her health. And Rogue did realize that Destiny only did what she did because she cared for her and was not using her for her own personal gain like Mystique had before her.

Risty appeared to Rogue in the second season. She immediately befriended her, and she became the only real friend Rogue had for a long time. Risty seemed to be somewhat gothic like Rogue, but she also liked to be more open and social... something Rogue couldn't do very easily. Rogue bonded well with Risty and spent a lot of time with her, probably telling her things that she would not tell to the other X-Men. However in Self Possessed, Rogue found out that Risty was not real, but was actually Mystique in disguise. Since then, Risty is no longer around and Rogue was left friendless and lonely once again.

Mystique is probably now Rogue's worst enemy. When Rogue's powers first mutated, she sought comfort under Mystique and her Brotherhood, thinking they cared for her. She soon discovered that Mystique was using her, and found shelter with the X-Men. In the episode Self Possessed, Rogue absorbed more of Mystique's memories and found out that Mystique was Rogue's adopted mother. Rogue hated her even more for that. Her own mother was using her, lying to her, and keeping secrets from her. Because of this, Rogue struggled with accepting Mystique as family. Even though Mystique kept using Rogue, she did show some genuine feelings for Rogue. She tried to get close to her (via Risty), but failed. After that Mystique used Rogue in helping a mutant named Mesmero seal the final key into Apocalypse's release. Mystique was turned into stone by Apocalypse probably not realizing that she was being used herself. With that being the last straw for Mystique, Rogue ended up pushing Mystique's stoned figure off a cliff and Mystique ended up being shattered into a thousand stone pieces. Whether or not Rogue actually "killed" her is revealed in season 4. From then on Rogue (with the help of Kurt) turned her back on Mystique for good.

Rogue showed in immediate attraction to Gambit upon their first meeting. But, initially they started out on opposite teams, and they did not exactly see eye to eye. Indeed, their first encounter ended with Rogue nearly losing her hand to a charged card. However, after a misguided attempt to use Rogue to rescue his adopted father, Gambit and Rogue realized that they had a great deal in common (including adopted parents who prefer to nurture their powers rather than them), and are now friends if nothing else, though there seems to be more to it than that. However, you can tell that the two are extremely attracted to one another and, in a picture of all the X-Men, Gambit has his arm affectionately around Rogue's shoulders, indicating a future romance.
