Rogue

Rogue's History

Rogue and the rest of the X-Men were involved in a battle with Fabian Cortez. When Rogue tried to attack Fabian during the fight, he grabbed her by the neck. (She later realized that when they made contact, it took away most of the thoughts she had absorbed of other people she had touched.) He then tore her right sleeve, and threw her at Storm, and they also made skin contact.

After the battle was over and Fabian was defeated and captured, the X-Men returned to the X-Mansion. When Wolverine died, it made everyone black out. Rogue was hit the hardest besides Jean Grey.

When the X-Men found out Storm was responsible for Logan's death, the X-Men battled and chased her. They split up into two groups, one with Rogue, Gambit, and Nightcrawler. When they arrived at a bridge near their destination, Gambit found Ororo, but she was much younger, and was not the Storm that they were chasing.

After the X-Men found out about the Consortium and went to South America and found a secret facility making sentinels, they finally returned home again. But Rogue did not stay for long, because Nightcrawler got a call from an old friend who needed help in Jackson, Mississippi. Rogue offered to go along since she was from that area. When they got to the address, they found Mystique, who had faked the call. In anger, Rogue attacked her for always interfering with her life, and fell unconscious after hitting into a gas tank which caused an explosion. When Nightcrawler got to her, she was not breathing, and he gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. She lived, but something had happened. Instead of just getting Kurt's powers, Rogue and Nightcrawler had both completely switched powers and appearances.

She now had to deal with her new look, which she did not really like, her new tail, and only having Kurt's powers. When the X-Men faked their own death, she escaped the X-Mansion and dealt with a robbery in New York. There, she ran into Spider-Man, and proceeded to spend the night accompanying him on patrol as she practiced with her new powers. Their time together also sparked a slight edge of romantic tension, the two of them nearly kissing, before they were interrupted by a telepathic scream from Jean Grey, who was searching for Rogue. Rogue came to Nightcrawler's rescue when her team was attacked by Neo-Sentinels.
