Special Limitations: Rogue cannot touch another human being without temporarily absorbing that person's memories, abilities, and superhuman powers (if any) and rendering him or her unconscious. Remnants of the personalities of victims whose memories she has absorbed remain buried in her subconscious indefinitely. Certain powerful beings have proven resistant to Rogue's power.
History: The identities of Rogue's parents still remain unknown. But he grew up in Meridain, Mississippi, being raised by them as any normal child in any normal family. Early in her teens Rogue discovered her mutant powers when she kissed a boy named Cody Robbins. He fell unconscious and her mind was suddenly filled with his memories. She soon learned that she had the power to absorb the memories and abilities of other people by touching them, but she could not control this power.
The distraught Rogue ran away from home soon after that incident at the age of 17. Her travels took her to Lauflin City, Canada where she met Wolverine in a dive where he was cage fighting. She stowed away in his trailer and they have been together ever since. Wolverine has promised to take care of her and has been watching over her like a kid sister, even though she has a crush on him. They both came to the X-Men together after being rescued by Cyclops and Storm from Sabretooth. Rogue remains a member of the X-Men and is striving to learn to control her powers. |
