X-men Rogue

Media Outlet Comic Book Forum

I have questions about Rogue. I find her bio completely confusing because it’s all diferent, maybe i percieved some info wrong, i don’t know.

Anyway, what i knew before is that rogue was adopted by mystique right? But someone told me that they changed her story a bit, i forgot the comic he mentioned, and recently it was said that mystique is actually her biological mother. I forgot the other details that support this, but one of them was about the reason why she had different real names. can someone clear that up.

more questions.

When she first appeared in the comics (avengers, was it?), did she possess the powers of ms marvel, or was it when she first joined the x-men?
I also heard, from the same person who told me that rogue was mystiques biological daughter, that rogue also is capable of fire power because she absorbed the powers of sun fire. That’s true? So in the comics now (world war hulk, house of M, etc) she can burn shit?

thanks

She took Ms. Marvel’s powers when she was with the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Rogue’s father’s name is Owen and her mother’s name is Priscilla. Rogue’s name is Anna Marie and we still don’t know her last name. Mystique is her foster mother. As far as I know, that aspect of her past hasn’t been retconned just yet. In other realities, I think it’s different and she is her birth mother, but not 616 (Mainstream Marvel comics - Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, etc). I’ll look into this a bit more though because you never know with Marvel I guess, like when Morrison (yes it was Morrison’s idea, not Austen’s) made Polaris Magneto’s birth daughter, something that still hasn’t been explained yet.

Mystique is Nightcrawler’s mother (Draco’s his father) and Graydon Creed’s (currently dead, Sabretooth is his father) mother as well.

Her bio from Marvel is less convoluted, not sure if that’s the one you’ve read before but still. Just ignore the Power Ratings because the online ones are really messed up, compared to the ones in the Marvel Universe books that are a lot better (however still questionable here and there).

About the fire - Rogue’s powers alternate. At one point she could access the powers of everyone she has absorbed over the years at will, at other times, it’s random. Writers tend to go with random because it makes her less powerful, and without giving away too much about Messiah Complex it seems that they are not going to do that anymore with regards to her powers. So for all intents and purposes you can forget about her using fire in future X-Books for the time being.

Yeah did some checking around on Wikipedia. Rogue absorbed Sunfire’s powers in her mini-series that ran from 2004-2005. Something you probably shouldn’t worry too much about since she’s lost that ability.

I still have no idea where your friend came up with Mystique being Rogue’s biological mother. In every instance I can find in comics, if there is a relationship, it’s a foster mother / foster daughter one.

The Wiki entry anyway, though yeah it’s waaay more convoluted… Pretty good and accurate read though as far as Wiki goes. :smile:

We don’t know if she’s lost that ability yet.
Probably, but it’s not definite.

She had Sunfire’s powers all the way up until she got infected with that strain 88 or whatever.

Try Marveldatabase.com. They usually have everything in there right.

thanks. .

how About Rogue now? Does she still possess the powers she stole from ms marvel, or did marvel strip that off her?

I have some questions that aren’t answered in this site, one of them is about WOLVERINE.

Was he still a mutant before the adimantium was planted in his body? Is His healing factor his original mutant ability? The reason why i ask this is because he still had the healing factor after mags ripped the metal off him… I also read parts of his story that makes it seem like the healing factor was his original mutant power. He was chosen to be the weapon X because of that, and they just gave him the adamantium skeleton or something…
But the thing is, all the mutants that have adamantium (Lady deathstrike, Sabertooth, x-23, etc) have this ability. it’s confusing.

You’re an Xmen fan and you don’t know these things? Goddamnit.

Seems like Rogue doesn’t have Ms. Marvel’s powers but we don’t know anything for certain until we see the extent of Rogue’s powers after Messiah Complex. She hasn’t had her powers for quite some time now.

Wolverine was a Mutant before he got the adamantium in his body. You have to be born a Mutant, with your powers showing up either at birth or during puberty but this varies. People who got their powers in any other way (Hulk, Spider-Man, etc) are not Mutants. It has to be in your DNA, like having black hair and brown eyes and so on.

Wolverine’s healing factor was his original Mutant power but it was revealed years later that he also had claws made out of bones. Along with keen animal senses, advanced hearing, able to track people by scent, etc. His powers manifested during puberty.

Lady Deathstrike isn’t a Mutant in Marvel comics, only in the second live action X-Men movie is she a Mutant. Her body has been fixed up to house Adamantium. Long story, the 90s X-Men cartoon can give you the cliff notes on it. Just ignore the part about Deathstrike and Wolverine being lovers in the cartoon and there you go.

The reason why Lady Deathstrike can handle Adamantium (if it’s in your bloodstream and you don’t have a healing factor, it will kill you which is why Sabretooth and X-23 can handle it) is because of enhancements made by Spiral in the Mojoverse and her Body Shoppe, using technology that is more advanced than ours, including some magic too.

X-23’s a clone of Wolverine so that’s why she has a healing factor and can handle Adamantium.

Sabretooth has had Adamantium twice. It was removed once but then a new Weapon X facility/army/project/ongoing comic/whatever you want to call it gave him an Adamantium skeleton again. In his latest appearances in Wolverine and X-Men, Sabretooth didn’t have an Adamantium skeleton and this has not been explained yet. Well Sabretooth is currently dead right now so this just may go on as an unanswered question.

Jeph Loeb was asked directly over at Newsarama why does Sabretooth not have his Adamantium (among other things in his Wolverine run) and all he said was something to the effect of “Romolus is sure messing with those feral Mutants, isn’t he?” So I suppose that’s the only explanation we have. You probably don’t need to know anything about Romolus (please don’t ask, I for one do not want to revisit this horrible storyline lol) just that he was a bad guy that pulled a lot of strings to do a lot of evil crap, you know like Mystique did in Messiah Complex. :rofl:

Wolverine and Sabertooth were originally the only two healers. That is their inherent mutant power. Weapon X was trying to make adamantium skeletons on others, but everyone died in the process, so they picked up those two since they were the only ones who could survive the process. Deathstrike, X-23, etc. were all given healing factors by weapon x in hopes of replicating what they did with wolverine.

Deadpool was given his to stop cancer though haha

edit: damn sano you fast!

11

x-men has too many shit to track down.

I don’t know if i’m right, but the first time Sabertooth lossed his adamantium was to wolverine when they were battling to be Apocs’ horseman right?

There’s allot of shit in the x-men i just don’t get. Xorn is another one… he’s magneto or something?

12

Sabretooth / Wolverine - Right.

Xorn is not Magneto. Yeah, I really don’t want to dwell on how Marvel pretty much overturned Morrison’s entire run, besides what has been added to Xorn since then in Avengers and Omega Flight makes even less sense. He’s just one of those things that I wish Marvel never mentions again… Really all you have to know is that Magneto’s currently alive somehow and that’s that.

13

Actually, Xorn IS Magneto. Rather, Magneto WAS Xorn. Magneto got his head chopped off by Wolverine.

14

You’re just gonna confuse Cisco even more. IS/WAS lol! :rofl:

15

Just keepin’ it real, Sano!

16

Ya i seriously don’t get this shit. LOL

As for magneto getting chopped. Where was this? Last time i saw mags was in the house of M arc. He lost his powers and that was it. He wasn’t there in the messiah complex.

I also finished world war hulk and found it fucked up that the x-men had their asses kicked. I saw rogue, gambit and Iceman in the cover but no where in the comic… And is Jean grey going to make a return?

17

Magneto, after revealing himself to be Xorn, was killed at the end of Morrison’s run. That was when Wolvie decapitated him.

18

Um yeah it’s a Marvel comic. So regarding Jean, she’ll be back sooner or later. :rofl:

When Morrison wrote X-Men he intended for Xorn to be Magneto. Wolverine chopped Xorn’s head off.

Marvel didn’t like that story because they didn’t want Magneto destroying New York City and killing thousands of people. So they made it so Xorn wasn’t Magneto afterall. And Magneto was still alive because according to Marvel he didn’t have his head chopped off in the first place. So they only had to explain how he survived the attack on Genosha (his last death scene prior to Xorn) and that’s it.

House of M came years after all of this.

Whoa you ask a lot of questions sites on the internet take care of. Mandatory reading -

ya but i hate skimming to ind my answers. i prefer getting the answers to my qustions directly instead of scrolling and skimming… lol.

and the thing is, x-men has gotten very confusing. especially with this magneto getting his head chopped off. In planet x, wolvie did kill him… but in house of M, mags is present.

Everything can be explained away in House of M quite easily.

Reality altering powers.
