=== Critical reception ===
Martyn Warren of ''[[Screen Rant]]'' referred to Rogue as "one of the greatest X-Men of all," writing, "Rogue made her first appearance in ''Avengers Annual'' #10 in 1981 and since her debut, she has become one of the most recognizable super-powered mutant members of the X-Men. Her power to absorb the life force of humans and the powers of mutants with physical contact does make her a potentially dangerous ally. But with such a caring heart and an upbeat personality, she always takes a challenge head-on, no matter how difficult it is. With multiple appearances in comics, television shows, and films, she has gained a huge fan base who treasure the many quotes she has delivered over the past 40 years."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Warren |first=Martyn |date=2022-01-12 |title=10 Quotes That Prove Rogue Is The Best X-Men Member |url=https://screenrant.com/rogue-quotes-best-x-men-member/ |access-date=2022-08-29 |website=ScreenRant |language=en-US}}</ref> Michael Austin of ''[[CBR.com]]'' called Rogue "one of X-Men's most popular women," saying, "One of the most popular superhero teams of all time, the X-Men's roster is made up of many different iconic characters. Marvel has also used those characters to craft some of the best stories in comic book history. One of the most important of these characters is Rogue. Although initially a villain, Rogue quickly rose to become one of the most popular X-Men. She has come a long way since her villainous beginnings and has been a part in some of the best X-Men teams and stories ever."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Austin |first=Michael |date=2019-07-08 |title=X-Men: 10 Most Important Rogue Stories Of All Time |url=https://www.cbr.com/x-men-important-rogue-stories/ |access-date=2022-08-29 |website=CBR |language=en-US}}</ref> Darren Franich of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' described Rogue as one of the characters "who left a significant footprint on X-history," asserting, "She's been a young villain-ingenue and a flowing-hair babe with a Gambit fixation, but there's always something fundamentally sad and fascinating about Rogue. Her superpower is tragic at the level of great science fiction: If she touches anyone, she absorbs their powers, their memories, and their whole life. (Touch them too long and they die.) Rogue is how you teach kids about melancholy."<ref name="Let's rank every X-Man ever">{{Cite web |last1=June 09 |first1=Darren Franich Updated |last2=EDT |first2=2022 at 12:31 PM |title=Let's rank every X-Man ever |url=https://ew.com/article/2014/05/21/x-men-best-worst/ |access-date=2022-08-29 |website=EW.com |language=en}}</ref> Jacob Threadgill of ''[[The Clarion-Ledger]]'' stated, "Hailing from fictional Caldecott County, Mississippi, the character Rogue has gone from misunderstood villain to one of the most beloved female characters in comic book history as a member of the X-Men. In popular culture, Rogue's backstory of isolation as a confused teen who has the ability to absorb fellow mutants' powers, memory and personality has struck a chord with fans worldwide."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Threadgill |first=Jacob |title=X-Men's Rogue: From Mississippi and proud of it |url=https://www.clarionledger.com/story/magnolia/entertainment/2016/06/23/x-mens-rogue-mississippi-and-proud/86179080/ |access-date=2022-10-10 |website=The Clarion-Ledger |language=en-US}}</ref>

George Marston of ''[[Newsarama]]'' referred to Rogue as one of the "best X-Men members of all time," asserting, "Rogue started out as a villain, but for the Avengers rather than the X-Men. Since reforming to heroism, Rogue has become one of the most long running and powerful members of the X-Men."<ref>{{Cite web |author1=George Marston |date=2022-07-18 |title=Best X-Men members of all time |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/best-x-men-members-of-all-time/ |access-date=2022-10-10 |website=gamesradar |language=en}}</ref> Matthew Aguilar of ''[[ComicBook.com]]'' asserted, "Over the years the X-Man known as Rogue has seen many changes to her powers, costume, and even personality. Those are interesting in their own right, but today the focus is squarely on the many looks she's adopted over the years, each of which has its own cadre of fans. The character left quite the impression on the Avengers in her first appearance (1981's ''Avengers Annual'' #10), and ever since she's been a stalwart of the X-Men universe. Granted she started out on the wrong side of things, but hey, it doesn't matter where you start, only where you finish. Fortune cookie psychology aside, Rogue appeals to fans because of her unyielding charisma, her southern charm, and an intriguing powerset that comes with its own struggles. She can fly, lift a tank, and punch through a wall, but being cut off from physical contact with others has always been a fly in the ointment, and that struggle is an essential part of the character."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ranking The Top Rogue Costumes |url=https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/ranking-the-top-rogue-costumes/ |access-date=2022-09-09 |website=Marvel |date=5 September 2017 |language=en}}</ref> Matthew Perpetua of ''[[BuzzFeed]]'' stated, "She's easily one of the best characters on a purely thematic level. She's a walking, talking metaphor for sexual anxiety, particularly during the AIDS epidemic of the '80s – she can't touch ANYONE without absorbing part of them and potentially killing them. The character has suffered a bit in recent years thanks to writers insisting on giving her control over her powers and reversing a lot of what makes her special, but Rick Remender has done a good job of reconnecting Rogue with her impulsive, surly roots over in ''Uncanny Avengers''."<ref name="Perpetua">{{Cite web |last=Perpetua |first=Matthew |title=95 X-Men Members Ranked From Worst To Best |url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/94-x-men-members-ranked-from-worst-to-best |access-date=2022-08-29 |website=BuzzFeed |date=28 January 2014 |language=en}}</ref>  Sara Century of ''[[Syfy]]'' said, "Gambit and Rogue are a couple that becomes infinitely more intriguing due to their ability to find stability with one another. The easier and more lighthearted the dynamic, the sexier it becomes. In more recent days, Rogue and Gambit have gone from being a hopelessly melodramatic and toxic pairing to being the X-Men's most endearing couple. They worked through their issues together in therapy and reunited in a surprisingly healthy way. When Kitty Pryde left Colossus at the altar, Gambit took the opportunity to propose to Rogue, and they turned attention from an exhausted relationship to a promising new future together. Without question, Gambit and Rogue are at their very best now, and it's refreshing to read a couple who are just flat-out good for one another in a mythos mired so often in frustration and personal tragedy."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-01-19 |title=Exploring intimacy issues with Gambit and Rogue |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/exploring-intimacy-issues-with-gambit-and-rogue |access-date=2022-09-09 |website=SYFY Official Site |language=en-US}}</ref>
