===Brotherhood of Evil Mutants===
After Rogue gains a measure of control over her powers, [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] begins coaxing her into taking part in terrorist activities as a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Although Rogue does not blindly hate humans like Mystique, she is led to believe that a normal life is impossible for her in a world where mutants are feared, and so willingly chooses to help the Brotherhood. <ref>Ann Nocenti's "Her First and Last", ''Classic X-Men'' #44 (February 1990).

Rogue and Mystique associated briefly with a mutant named [[Blindspot (comics)|Blindspot]], whose power to erase the memories of others by touch somehow counteracts Rogue's mutation enough to allow them to make physical contact safely.<ref>{{cite comic| writer = [[Tony Bedard|Bedard, Tony]]| penciller = Moline, Karl| inker = Rick Magyar| editor=Moore, Stephanie|title = Rogue| volume = 3| issue = #10| date = June 2005| publisher = [[Marvel Comics]]}}</ref> Blindspot and Rogue became good friends, but when Mystique decides to sever professional ties with Blindspot, the young mutant erased all memories of her from both women before disappearing.<ref>{{cite comic| writer = [[Tony Bedard|Bedard, Tony]]| penciller = Donovan, Derec| editor=Moore, Stephanie|title = Rogue| volume = 3| issue = #11| date = July 2005| publisher = [[Marvel Comics]]}}</ref>

When Mystique debuts her Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Destiny advises her to keep Rogue out of the action - advice which proves important when several members of the new Brotherhood are arrested and imprisoned. Mystique concocts a plan to free the other members of the Brotherhood by having Rogue absorb [[Carol Danvers|Ms. Marvel]]'s formidable powers.<ref name="debut">{{cite comic|Writer=[[Chris Claremont|Claremont, Chris]]|Penciller=[[Michael Golden (comics)|Golden, Michael]]|Title=Avengers Annual|Volume=1|Issue=#10|Date=November 1981|Publisher=[[Marvel Comics]]}}</ref> Rogue ambushes Ms. Marvel's human persona, Carol Danvers, on her front doorstep as she is returning home from grocery shopping.<ref>''Marvel Super-Heroes'' (vol. 2) #11 (Fall 1992)</ref> Danvers proves stronger than Rogue had anticipated and fights back; this causes Rogue to maintain contact for too long and permanently absorb not just Danvers' powers, but her [[Psyche (psychology)|psyche]] as well. Rogue then throws the now-powerless superheroine off the [[Golden Gate Bridge]]. She then assists the Brotherhood in a fight with the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]].<ref name="debut"/>

Much later, while at [[the Pentagon]], she literally bumps into Carol Danvers, leading to a fight with [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]], [[Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] and [[Nightcrawler (character)|Nightcrawler]] of the X-Men. The heroes retreat when Rogue easily overwhelms them.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #158 (June 1982)</ref> Later, with Mystique and Destiny, Rogue attacks [[Warren Worthington III|Angel]] and [[Dazzler (Marvel Comics)|Dazzler]], but is overpowered by Dazzler. Rogue develops a grudge against Dazzler for her controllable mutation and her relationship with Angel. Rogue is subsequently defeated by Dazzler a few times before Dazzler is publicly revealed to be a mutant and goes into hiding.<ref>''Dazzler'' #22–24, 28 (December 1982 – February 1983, September 1983). Marvel Comics</ref> Sometime after this, Rogue, Mystique and Destiny encounter the half-human, half-[[Dire Wraith]] entity called [[Hybrid (Jimmy Marks)|Hybrid]], with whom the three form an alliance against the [[Spaceknight]], [[Rom (comics)|Rom]]. However, when Rogue seizes an opportunity to use her power on him, she absorbs his memories as well, experiencing both his loneliness and his sense of duty. This moment has a profound effect on her and serves as a crucial turning point in her life.<ref>''Rom'' #31–32 (June–July 1982). Marvel Comics</ref>
