==Other versions== ===Age of Apocalypse=== In the ''[[Age of Apocalypse]]'' reality, Rogue is brought to [[Alternative versions of Magneto#Age of Apocalypse|Magneto]] and his X-Men for education in her powers by Mystique.<ref>''X-Men Chronicles'' #01 (1995)</ref> Soon after this, Rogue would battle against Apocalypse's son Nemesis (who later became Holocaust) alongside the Scarlet Witch, and would witness the death of the latter. During the next few years, Rogue would express an attraction to both Gambit and the leader of the X-Men, Magneto. She would ultimately become romantically involved with Magneto after he worked out a way for them to touch by surrounding his body in a tight electromagnetic 'sheath' that prevented her from ''actually'' making contact with his skin, while still feeling as though she was. The two would later conceive a son named [[Magnus Lehnsherr#Age of Apocalypse|Charles]], after Charles Xavier, who was slain by [[Legion (Marvel Comics)|Legion]] whose target had actually been Magneto himself.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=April 2009}} The Age of Apocalypse universe was later revealed to have been preserved due to the actions of [[Jean Grey]]. Rogue and Magneto, along with that reality's X-Men continue their lives.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=April 2009}} This reality's version of Rogue had her uncontrollable absorption abilities and permanently possessed around half of Polaris' magnetic abilities. Unlike her husband Magneto and Polaris herself, Rogue appeared to prefer to use these abilities to fly and augment her physical strength and durability to superhuman levels. ===Age of Ultron=== In the "[[Age of Ultron]]" storyline, Rogue and [[Havok (comics)|Havok]] are a married couple, leading the [[Morlocks (comics)|Morlocks]]. [[Captain America]] approaches them in the tunnels with the intent of escorting [[Caliban (Marvel Comics)|Caliban]] for a trial. However, the meeting is interrupted by the [[Apocalypse Twins]], who are on a mission to kill Captain America. In the end, they kill Havok (when he defends Captain America) and Rogue (when she retaliates for Havok's death).<ref>''Uncanny Avengers'' #8 AU</ref> ===Age of X=== Rogue appears in the "[[Age of X]]" continuity going by the name Legacy (also known as the Reaper). She is not allowed to be in the forefront of battles, but has the sole purpose of using her powers to absorb the memories and powers of dying mutants,<ref>''X-Men Legacy'' #245</ref> as well as those of Captain America after he sacrificed himself to save Fortress X from the [[Alternative versions of Hulk#Age of X|Hulk]].<ref>''Age of X: Universe'' #2</ref> She becomes curious when [[Kitty Pryde]] is caught getting back into the grounds and finds a camera - which, suspiciously, has hundreds of blank photos. This results in her questioning everything and figures that she can get answers only from Kitty, who is imprisoned. She goes against orders and infiltrates the prison, coming across [[Blindfold (comics)|Blindfold]] and, later, [[Professor X]]avier. After absorbing the Professor's powers, she realizes that everything is not what it seems to be.<ref>''New Mutants'' #22</ref> However, she cannot control his powers and unleashes a psychic attack on all mutants in the Fortress. Considered as a traitor, she is hunted by [[Moonstar (comics)|Moonstar]] and her team. She flees to [[Wolverine (character)|Logan]], who dresses her wounds. She confesses that she is puzzled by how she seems to know Charles Xavier but cannot figure out how; at the same time, his memories paint a different picture of everything. Moonstar tracks her and she is shot down when fleeing. [[Gambit (Marvel Comics)|Gambit]] rescues her, but Magneto seemingly buries them under a pile of rubble for their "traitorous" actions.<ref>''X-Men Legacy'' #246</ref> This was a ruse, as Magneto himself was suspicious and was the individual who dispatched Kitty to take the photos.<ref name="New Mutants #23">''New Mutants'' #23</ref> Following information from Magneto, Rogue and Gambit break into a secret chamber and find that the culprit behind the alternative reality is Moira, an alternate persona of [[Legion (Marvel Comics)|Legion]].<ref name="New Mutants #23"/> ===Amalgam Comics=== In the [[Amalgam Comics]] limited run, Rogue is combined with the [[DC Comics]] character [[Gypsy (comics)|Gypsy]] to form the new character [[Runaway (Amalgam Comics)|Runaway]].<ref>''JLX'' #1 (April 1996)</ref> ===''Exiles''=== In the ''[[Exiles (Marvel Comics)|New Exiles]]'' series, Rogue is from [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)|Earth-1009]] and comes from a life of "wealth, privilege and sophistication."<ref>Portfolio Review (promotion to ''New Exiles'', published in ''Astonishing X-Men'' #23 (January 2008))</ref> Apparently a master thief, she has a different personality from her [[Earth-616]] version. She can absorb others' abilities and memories through her hands, but unlike the original Rogue, the rest of her body can be touched without ill effects. Moreover, she can keep the borrowed powers and use them at will.<ref>''New Exiles'' #16 (February 2009)</ref> In addition, she possesses [[super strength]], durability, the ability to fly, the ability to disintegrate matter with a touch and the ability to heal others' wounds.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} Her bodysuit hides mysterious [[tattoo]]s.<ref>''New Exiles'' #10 (October 2008)</ref> ===''House of M''=== The ''[[House of M]]'' Rogue is an agent of [[S.H.I.E.L.D.]] and part of the Red Guard, working with [[Alternative versions of Wolverine#House of M|Wolverine]], [[Mystique (comics)#House of M|Mystique]], the [[Toad (Marvel Comics)|Toad]], [[Nightcrawler (character)#House of M|Nightcrawler]], and [[Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)#House of M|Jessica Drew]]. She plays an important role in the resistance to Magneto. After being contacted by the resistance movement, Rogue briefly touches [[Layla Miller]] and appears overwhelmed, as the acquired power emanated from her and awakened others in the vicinity to the reality of the House.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=November 2009}} In the final battle, Rogue, finally able to unleash her powers to their full extent, tackles both [[Namor]] and Princess [[Alternative versions of Storm#House of M|Ororo]] and absorbs their abilities, causing her to overflow with power. She even absorbed the powers of [[Genis-Vell]]. Due to the nature of Genis' genetics and powers, half of Rogue's body transforms into a seemingly window to a cosmic landscape of black void dotted with stars. During the final battle, [[Quicksilver (comics)|Quicksilver]] finds the cosmically powered Rogue waiting up top. Pietro slams into Rogue and is sent flying back.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=November 2009}} ===Marvel 1602=== A version of Rogue appears in the Marvel 1602 spin-off "Angela: Witchunter". ===''Marvel Noir''=== Rogue appears in ''[[X-Men Noir]]'' as Anne-Marie Rankin, one of [[Alternative versions of Professor X#X-Men Noir|Professor Xavier]]'s students. She has a talent for imitating the personality traits and mannerisms of any person, allowing her to fit into any situation. Professor Xavier considered her a missing link or patient zero in his theories about sociopathy as the next stage of human behavioral evolution.<ref>''X-Men Noir'' #1-4 (February–May 2009)</ref> ===''Marvel Zombies''=== During the ''[[Ultimate Fantastic Four]]'' crossover where the Ultimate Universe's Fantastic Four visit the [[Marvel Zombies]] Universe, Rogue is seen as a zombified hero in one of the panels before the infection spread out.<ref>''Ultimate Fantastic Four'' #22</ref> ===Mutant X=== In this darker reality, Rogue operates with a smaller X-Team consisting of Magneto, Nightcrawler, Polaris, Quicksilver, [[Cerebo]], and a metallic-looking Mystique. Rogue herself maintains the steel and ridged skin of [[Colossus (character)|Colossus]], having unintentionally absorbed his power when her glove disintegrated while she was trying to carry him to safety, and wears a version of [[Ms. Marvel]]'s lightning bolt uniform.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=November 2009}} ===''Prelude to Deadpool Corps''=== In issue #2, [[Deadpool]] visits a world where Rogue and [[Jean Grey]] are orphaned kids at an orphanage run by [[Emma Frost]]. At a dance where Professor X and Emma's orphans can have fun, Rogue can be seen calling Kidpool (a kid version of Deadpool who attends the Professor X Orphanage for Troubled Kids) a dork.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=April 2010}} ===Professor W's X-Men=== Rogue has defected from the X-Men in this series to join [[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Cyclops]]' new [[Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]]. This drastic change in alliance can be partially attributed to the fact Rogue has fully absorbed the powers and life force of the [[Super-Skrull]], gaining his Skrull alien traits, the powers of all the members of the [[Fantastic Four]], as well as Kl'rt's personality and memories. As a result of this absorption, Rogue's own personality has become warped, even regarded by her own teammates as acting villainous.<ref>''Exiles'' #42 (April 2004)</ref> ===Ultimate Marvel=== In the [[Ultimate Marvel]] continuity, Rogue is first introduced in the story arc ''Return to Weapon X''<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #7-12 (August 2001 – January 2002)</ref> as a prisoner of [[Weapon X#Ultimate Marvel|Weapon X]] and she worked with the [[Juggernaut (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Juggernaut]] and [[Nightcrawler (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Nightcrawler]]. In this version, her name appears to be '''Marian Carlyle'''.<ref>Ultimate Comics X-Men #1</ref> Her powers are exploited to steal sensitive information on the location and layout of [[X-Mansion#Ultimate Marvel|the Xavier Institute for Gifted Children]]. Using this information, agents of Weapon X storm the school and capture the X-Men. Rogue is released along with the X-Men, the Juggernaut, and Nightcrawler, when a combination of the [[Brotherhood of Mutants#Ultimate Marvel|Brotherhood of Mutant Supremacy]] and [[S.H.I.E.L.D.#Ultimate Marvel|S.H.I.E.L.D]] rescues them and destroys Weapon X's facility. Though offered a place on the X-Men, she joins the Brotherhood. She later joins the X-Men in the ''Return of the King'' arc.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #27-33 (March–July 2003)</ref> In the ''Cry Wolf'' story arc,<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #50-53 (October 2003 – January 2004)</ref> the X-Men are attacked by [[Gambit (Marvel Comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Gambit]] who kidnaps Rogue and takes her to his employers, [[Fenris (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Andreas and Andrea von Strucker]]. They hope to use her powers for "[[Industrial espionage|corporate espionage]]". In exchange for her help, they promise her they will help her control her powers through a power-dampening material they had developed. She turns them down, feeling that her powers are her penance. Rebuked, they attack Rogue and Gambit. She touches both of them and uses their powers to fend off their guards. The X-Men arrive to take her back, but she turns them down and leaves with Gambit.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #53 (January 2004)</ref> Rogue does not appear again until ''Ultimate X-Men Annual'' #1, in which she and Gambit fight the Juggernaut. Gambit sacrifices himself to save Rogue and she kisses him as he dies at his request. With this kiss, she takes his powers that seemingly override her own, ridding her of her 'death touch' through several of the books (this also affects Rogue's appearance, as she acquires black eyes with red irises). In the subsequent story arc ''Date Night'',<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #66-69 (March–June 2006)</ref> Rogue decides to rekindle her relationship with the [[Iceman (Marvel Comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Iceman]] after she loses her virginity to him (something possible due to her being able to touch him now).<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #66 (March 2006)</ref> During ''Ultimate X-Men Annual'' #2, Rogue speaks to [[Professor X#Ultimate Marvel|Professor Xavier]] about her concerns regarding Gambit's powers still remaining. Xavier theorizes this is only a temporary change and her powers will return within time. Towards the end of the ''Annual'', Rogue touches a delusional Nightcrawler and her old powers re-emerge, causing her to start teleporting randomly, and she loses Gambit's power, sending her back into the shell of hiding her skin, much to her and the Iceman's dismay.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men Annual'' #2</ref> During ''Ultimate X-Men'' #77, she loses her arm during a fight with [[Cable (character)#Ultimate Cable|Cable]]. However, after absorbing some of [[Wolverine (Ultimate Marvel character)|Wolverine]]'s healing power, her arm appears to grow back.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #77</ref> In ''Ultimate X-Men'' #80, Cyclops disbands the X-Men following Xavier's death. Rogue stays with the Iceman at the Xavier Institute as a student. Xavier later returns and reveals himself to be alive. Rogue once again becomes an X-Man. At the end of ''Ultimate X-Men'', a [[Banshee (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Banshee]]-enhanced Rogue is seen to be a member of [[Colossus (character)#Ultimate Marvel|Colossus]]' team. Her appearance heavily altered, it seems her abilities have been enhanced such that she can call on absorbed abilities, as she has Colossus' armored flesh and the [[Warren Worthington III#Ultimate Marvel|Angel]]'s feathered wings extending from her arms. While telling Cyclops the benefits of Banshee she kisses him. When asked why, she replies "'Cause I can."<ref name="ultx95">''Ultimate X-Men'' #95</ref> In ''Ultimate X-Men'' #95, she reveals that when her father got drunk he would [[Sexual abuse|molest]] her. Once when he tried to touch her, she took his life. She also appears to have found out who [[Kestrel (Marvel Comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Vindicator]] was, but before she could elaborate, Vindicator took her out.<ref name="ultx95"/> Addicted to Banshee, Colossus' X-Men began to acquire more Banshee from the [[Acolytes (comics)|Acolytes]]. When they were discovered by the others, a battle raged. She absorbed the Iceman's power and kissed him to show what Banshee could allow her, but the kiss was broken off by [[Liz Allan#Ultimate Marvel|Firestar]]. Hostilities ceased when [[Northstar (Marvel Comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Northstar]] turns up — alive, but crippled.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #97</ref> After the [[Ultimatum (comics)|Ultimatum Wave]] hits [[Manhattan]], [[Jean Grey#Ultimate Marvel|Jean Grey]] refuses to allow Rogue to join her as she cannot be trusted. Rogue then attacks [[Department H]], absorbing [[Wolfsbane (character)#|Sasquatch]]'s power and attacked [[Jubilee (comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Jubilee]]. It is then revealed that Vindicator is, in fact, John Wraith, whom she blames for ruining her life. She threatens him for help in killing [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)#Ultimate Marvel|Magneto]]. They travel to [[Montreal]], where Rogue poses as a stripper to get close to Sabretooth and the Juggernaut.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men'' #98 (January 2009)</ref> The Purifiers soon attack the X-Mansion and the Juggernaut dies fighting alongside Rogue. Rogue absorbs his powers just before he dies and now permanently possesses them. She then helps the X-Men in their effort to defeat Magneto and his Brotherhood. They do so, but suffer many casualties. Rogue is one of the few X-Men to survive to battle alongside Jean Grey, the Iceman, [[Kitty Pryde#Ultimate Marvel|Shadowcat]], [[Alternative versions of Storm#Ultimate Marvel|Storm]], and Colossus. She is last seen helping Jean Grey and the Iceman tear down the Xavier Institute and everything on the estate. They bury the remains of the deceased X-Men in its place.<ref>''Ultimate X-Men: Requiem'' (September 2009)</ref> ===''What If?''=== In "What If the X-Men Stayed in Asgard", Rogue is one of the [[X-Men]] and [[New Mutants]] to remain in [[Asgard (comics)|Asgard]] when she finds that her powers does not affect the [[Asgardians (Marvel Universe)|Asgardians]]. She finally ends up falling in love with and marrying [[Fandral]] of the [[Warriors Three]], whose place is subsequently taken by Nightcrawler.<ref>''What If?'' (vol. 2) #12</ref> In "What If Rogue possessed the power of Thor?", Rogue accidentally permanently absorbed [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]] when she and Mystique attempted to break the Brotherhood out of prison, resulting in her killing most of the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]] and the Brotherhood when she was unable to cope with Thor's power. Although [[Loki (Marvel Comics)|Loki]] attempted to manipulate her into waging war on Asgard after she was able to lift [[Mjolnir (comics)|Thor's hammer]], the sight of [[Odin (comics)|Odin]]'s genuine sense of loss allowed Thor's remnants to manifest in her subconscious, affirming that he was an ideal as well as a person, allowing Rogue to inherit his power and position as she became the new Thor.<ref>''What If'' (vol. 2) #66</ref> In "What If Mystique had raised Nightcrawler?", Rogue's attempt to free Nightcrawler from the attic where Mystique had kept him to 'protect' him resulted in him being mortally injured by the Brotherhood when they mistook him for an X-Man; Rogue's attempt to use his power to escape resulted in her permanently absorbing Nightcrawler's powers and appearance due to the prolonged contact she maintained.<ref>''What If'' (vol. 2) #98</ref> In ''What If?'' (vol. 2) #114, the heroes taken to the Beyonder's Battleworld never returned to Earth. In this reality, Rogue is called Carol, implying that the absorbed Ms. Marvel persona is the dominant consciousness. Because Carol is in control, Rogue's absorption powers are under control and she is married to [[Captain America]]. They also have a daughter together named Sarah, who inherited some of her mother's abilities and is known as the Crusader. This version of Rogue appears to have her original mutant powers, as well as Ms. Marvel's powers. It was also shown that she wears Ms. Marvel's costume into battle.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} In the ''What If?'' story "Bullet Points", in which a single bullet changed the history of [[Bruce Banner]], [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker]], [[Iron Man|Anthony Stark]], and [[Captain America|Steven Rogers]], Rogue is seen alongside the X-Men of this reality, and appears in her iconic costume. She presumably has the same history as her mainstream counterpart and possesses both her own mutant abilities and the powers of Ms. Marvel. She later assists her teammates and many other heroes and villains against Galactus and watches as the Silver Surfer dies to prevent Earth from being devoured.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} In the "What If Xavier's Secret Second Team had Survived Krakoa?" storyline, Rogue is seen as a member of [[Vulcan (Marvel Comics)|Vulcan]]'s X-Men. She seems to possess both her own mutant abilities as well as the powers of Ms. Marvel, as she is seen flying and wearing gloves. Her history is presumably the same as her mainstream counterpart, though she wears a blue uniform and yellow gloves rather than her iconic costume.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=February 2013}} ===''X-Men: The End''=== In an alternative future featured in the series ''[[X-Men: The End]]'', Rogue and [[Alternative versions of Gambit#X-Men: The End|Gambit]] are married and have two children named Olivier and Rebecca "Becca" LeBeau. Rogue has also gained complete control over her abilities in this timeline. This Rogue defeats [[Shaitan]] and rescues her children from the Neverland Camp, but was ultimately killed by [[Mister Sinister]] when he was disguised as Gambit.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=November 2009}} ===''X-Men Forever''=== In this reality, Rogue has absorbed Nightcrawler's abilities when he gave her mouth-to-mouth, granting her Nightcrawler's skin and tail as well as exceptional athletic abilities, although this has also left Nightcrawler with Rogue's powers and looking like a normal human. Claremont has kept the plot thread from ''Fall of the Mutants'' concerning the X-Men's encounter with Roma intact, and so Rogue is still rendered undetectable to cameras, appearing only as a blur on screen or film. While exploring her new powers, Rogue runs into Spider-Man and spends the night fighting crime alongside him; she suggests that they kiss to see if her original abilities have been affected by her transformation, but they are interrupted by a [[Sentinel (comics)|Sentinel]] attack before they can actually make contact.<ref>''X-Men Forever'' (vol. 2) #3 (September 2010)</ref>
