Editing Rogue (Marvel Comics) (section)

===''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}}
