Rogue is from Caldecott County, Mississippi. She discovered she
was a mutant when she kissed her boyfriend Cody and knocked him
out. Her real name was unknown until recently. The name currently
used is Anna Marie (which I hate!).
Rogue was originally part of the Brotherhood. She joined the X-Men
so that Xavier could help her gain control of those she absorbed.
She received the powers of Flight, Invulnerability and Super Strength
when she absorbed Carol Danvers, aka Ms. Marvel. Carol Danvers returned
as Binary, but left the X-Men when Rogue joined.
Wolverine originally hated Rogue. They became friends after she
saved his fiancee's life while they were in Japan for the wedding.
This issue is also where Wolverine gives her their first kiss that
is not used as a weapon.
Rogue's most well known love interest is Remy LeBeau, AKA Gambit.
The pair have had a tempestuous relationship. They are continually
breaking up and getting back together. Things look to be going south
again for them lately. (Not shedding any tears here.)
In X-Treme X-Men #13, Sage gave her
a "jump start". This allowed Rogue to access the powers
of every mutant that she has ever imprinted.
In X-Treme X-Men #18, Rogue lost
all her powers while trying to save Gambit.
Eventually she regained her absorption powers, still uncontrollable.
It was never actually stated how she
regained her powers, but the assumption is that Sage gave her a
jump start. (Sage gave Gambit a jump start to return his powers
in X-Treme X-Men #46.) X-Treme X-Men #46 is the last issue of that
title. There is a team switch up at this point. The next appearance
of Rogue is in X-Men #157 with her powers restored.
Rogue gained Sunfire's powers permanently when she absorbed him.
[Rogue - 2004/2005 self-titled comic]. This is carried over to the
main comics. Sunfire did not die from this absorption.
