"Yo, X-Men -- hit the bricks, ya'll come a'runnin' -- we got us a job t'do! An' some heads t'bust!"--ROGUE
We have run through the members of X-MEN's First Class (Comics and Movie versions), its now time to move the spotlight to the other members of the team.
Who is ROGUE?
ROGUE is Anna Marie, once a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, ROGUE switch sides and now a veteran member of the X-Men. She has the power to absorb the thoughts, abilities, and memories of others through physical contact.
ROGUE is a Marvel Comics character created by author Chris Claremont and artist Michael Golden. She made her debut appearance in Avengers Annual #10 (August 1981) as a villain. ROGUE was born as a mutant. More so than most, ROGUE considers her powers a curse: she involuntarily absorbs and sometimes also removes the memories, physical strength, and (in the case of superpowered persons) the abilities of anyone she touches. For most of her life, this potentially fatal ability prevented her from making any physical contact with others, but after many years ROGUE finally gained full control over her power.
ROGUE was born in Caldecott County, Mississippi. As a young child ROGUE was a rebellious and at some point she ran away from home as a young teenager. This was when she meets Mystique, who became ROGUE's foster mother.Her latent mutant power to absorb the life energy and psyche of others with skin-to-skin contact emerged when ROGUE impulsively kissed a boy. ROGUE was traumatized by the experience, and begun wearing body-concealing clothing that eliminated the possibility of accidental skin contact. Because of her power ROGUE became lonely, envious, bitter, which later turned into anger. She then joined Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
One notable mission with the Brotherhood is when ROGUE absorbed the powers of Ms. Marvel. Because of the prolonged contact, the effect seemed to be permanent and ROGUE gained Ms. Marvel's strength but also her psyche. This caused problems with her and her powers, she asked admittance to Charles Xavier's school to learn how to control her power. She was reluctantly admitted, but later on proved herself and became one of the valuable members of the X-Men.
CHANGING APPEARANCES
First Costume
In her admittance to Xavier's school, ROGUE wore a green suit including a hood, thus nearly covering her entire body, fearing she could accidentally absorb another person. However, the gloves could be easily removed, in case she wanted to use her talent on an opponent. The original version had a dark green outline, though it was later colored white.
