Sacrificing herself to stop [[Master Mold]], Rogue is pulled through the [[Siege Perilous (comics)|Siege Perilous]], where she is judged by other-dimensional forces with the promise of a "new life".<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #246</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2019-07-08 |title=X-Men: 10 Most Important Rogue Stories Of All Time |language=en-US |work=CBR |url=https://www.cbr.com/x-men-important-rogue-stories/ |access-date=2022-10-10}}</ref> Rogue is purged of the remaining portions of Carol Danvers's personality, as well as Carol's powers, and teleported back to the X-Men's Outback base. She finds it has been taken over by the [[Reavers (comics)|Reavers]] in her absence, and the now-physically separate Danvers persona attacks her. Rogue flees, absorbing the powers of the mutant [[Gateway (comics)|Gateway]] to teleport herself to safety. She ends up in the [[Savage Land]], and spends the ensuing days learning how to survive in the inhospitable land. She is eventually attacked again by Danvers, who is now under the mental enslavement of [[Shadow King]]. There is not enough life force between the two to sustain both Rogue and Danvers physically as a result of the separation, and Rogue is unwilling to kill Danvers. With Danvers on the verge of draining Rogue's life completely, [[Magneto (Marvel Comics)|Magneto]] intervenes and kills the Ms. Marvel persona.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #269 (October 1990).

Rogue and Magneto join forces with [[Ka-Zar (Kevin Plunder)|Ka-zar]] and [[Nick Fury]] to battle [[Zaladane]], who is trying to conquer the Savage Land.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #274 (March 1991). Marvel Comics</ref> Once Zaladane is defeated and helpless, Magneto kills her, against Rogue and Fury's protests, parting ways with the X-Men's ideals and methods before flying away.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #275 (April 1991)</ref> Rogue then flies to Muir Island to rejoin the rest of the X-Men, the powers she absorbed from Ms. Marvel now returned.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #278 (July 1991).

The X-Men later divide into two teams to make better use of their large number of active members; Rogue is assigned to the Blue Team, under the leadership of [[Cyclops (Marvel Comics)|Cyclops]] and alongside new X-Man [[Gambit (Marvel Comics)|Gambit]]. Upon his arrival, Gambit flirts with each of the female members of the team; however, Rogue immediately catches his eye, and he makes no secret of his romantic desire for her.<ref>''X-Men'' (vol. 2) #3–4. Marvel Comics</ref> The development of Rogue and Gambit's relationship is slow and rocky, partly as a result of her inability to control her powers and partly as a result of long-term issues with previous relationships on Gambit's part.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=April 2009}}

As an act of penance, Rogue continues to visit Cody Robbins at a hospice run by a religious order. He is later abducted by assassins sent by Gambit's ex-wife, [[Bella Donna Boudreaux]], as part of a revenge plot against Rogue. Cody is used as a pawn in the ensuing fight between Rogue and [[Candra (comics)|Candra]] and eventually dies. Through a spiritual healer of Bella Donna, Tante Mattie, Rogue is able to make amends with Cody's spirit. He holds no hard feelings against her, knowing what happened was an accident, and urges her to move on.<ref>''Rogue'' #1–4 (January–April 1995). Marvel Comics</ref>

It is eventually revealed that Mystique had two sons: the now-deceased anti-mutant politician [[Graydon Creed]] and Rogue's long-time teammate, [[Nightcrawler (character)|Nightcrawler]].<ref>''X-Men Unlimited'' #4. Marvel Comics</ref> Rogue and Nightcrawler consider themselves to be siblings, although the revelation has not particularly altered their friendship.{{Volume needed|c=y|date=April 2009}}

Following the supposed "death" of Cyclops, the X-Men team undergoes major changes, among them Rogue being made the team's new field commander. Her even temper and years of X-Men service make her an ideal leader and she continues to lead the team until Storm returns.<ref>''X-Men'' (vol. 2) #103. Marvel Comics</ref>

When the Galactic Council transforms Earth into a maximum-security penal colony for hundreds of extraterrestrial criminals, Rogue absorbs the attributes of Z'Cann; a mutant, telepathic [[Skrull]] who had joined [[Skrull#Known Skrulls|Cadre K]], Xavier's Skrull equivalent to the X-Men. Z'Cann purposely touches Rogue to activate her mutant abilities, as the two evade bounty hunters. Z'Cann uses her telepathy to amplify Rogue's capacity to assimilate memories, causing her powers to mutate.<ref>''X-Men'' (vol. 2) #107 (December 2000). Marvel Comics</ref> Henceforth, Rogue is able to "recall" previously absorbed powers,{{Volume needed|c=y|date=July 2011}} but also finds it increasingly difficult to control which powers manifest and when, typically possessing Wolverine's healing factor and claws, Cyclops' optic blasts and her natural strength.
