ℙ𝖀𝐍𝗞🅐𝓢𝙸ⓉＥ is a 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 & 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕 depiction of 𝕽𝑶𝙶𝓤𝔼 from X-Men comics, focusing on some specific runs, headcanon and some very strong opinions. For comics we focus on the 80s, 2000s ( X-treme X-Men and some of Claremont's run on the main series ), and X-Men: Legacy/Mike Carey's work around 2006 ( the children of the vault stuff ). I've read basically every appearance of Rogue up to 2018 where things get spotty because the writing gets Mid in my opinion and so more modern comics will be mined 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒚. Also pulling a little from X-Men: Evolution & X-Men '97 but not much. Blog is almost exclusively plotting based.

Characterization Notes:

Rogue's name is Rogue

While Anna Marie is Rogue's birth name it's something she hasn't used since she was very small, didn't remember for a long time, and has no real attachment too, in some ways it's closer to a dead name than anything else and she's very uncomfortable with people using it. Rogue has a very set concept of who she is out of necessity. Rogue is Rogue. Anna Marie is not Rogue. Please do not call her Anna Marie, the only people who really can are those like her mothers, Xavier and maybe her partners but it's the kinda thing that would need to be discussed before it was whipped out.

Rogue and the X-Men

Rogue has a weird relationship with the X-Men. She goes to them begging for help at 17 and is met with hostility and an ultimatum. She goes from being a child soldier for her mothers to a child soldier for Xavier. Even when the initial hostility dies down, Rogue's relationships are very fraught and she's generally kept at a certain distance intentionally or no. We see on several occasions in comics set during this time (and when anyone cares to remember how her powers work and effect her life) Storm (and others but I remember Storm the best because it was a plot point) recoil from Rogue and generally are scared of being too physically close to her.

Rogue's powers both make her a mutant and are exactly the kind of thing that make mutants want to keep her at arm's length. She painfully steals your mutation and some of your identity, it's natural for people to not want to get too close. But it does create issues. She may be considered a valued member of the team and all that but how she's treated socially inside of mutant circles is inconsistent. Some see her power as inherently evil, some are just scared of being touched and it shows. Even when people do their best to include her she can tell when people are scared and trying to act like they're not and it incentivizes her to stay on the fringes. So while she has a few people in the X-Men she's close to and loves dearly she's largely an outsider from them socially.

Rogue's Politics and Ethics

Following on that last part another reason Rogue is on the fringes of x-society is her politics. While she's unlearned some of the radicalism she was raised on she's still more on the end of people like Mystique and Magneto because no matter what you say about them, their methods etc — they have some very good points. Rogue's own life experiences in places like Genosha and during the Morlock Massacre, as well as her work as both a member of the Brotherhood and an X-Man have led her to holding some of Xavier's optimism and desire to solve things peacefully when able while also being more than willing to kill if needed. She's usually not as radical as her mother or Magneto but she's also one of the first to suggest something radical or Kinda Iffy as a plan of action. Basically, if Wolverine asked her to join the X-Force she would say yes without blinking.

Along with this Rogue's ethics are inconsistent. She contradicts herself and seems to function almost entirely on vibes from the outside and she knows this. This is in large part a bi-product of her powers. Her powers leave her with huge amounts of accumulated psychic residue from everyone she touches and there's very little indication anyone actually helps her with this in the comics (Xavier even calls himself out on this in the comics lol rip). This means that even while she's working very hard to simply Be Rogue™, her thoughts, feeling, opinions and memories can be affected by that residue without her being aware. So her opinions and ethics can change within a breath. She is aware of this. It's part of why she HATES when people try to use her as a tie-breaker.

Rogue is Mentally Ill

Related to the ethics thing and how psychic residue effects it. Rogue is not stable mentally. Even when she's the only person in her head she's not really 100%. While there's literally nothing in real life that maps out to her issues the closest would likely be the very board categories of dementia, delusion and psychosis related illnesses or DID. Rogue can wake up utterly convinced she is a completely different person and then have a meltdown when she sees her own face in the mirror. Her understanding of the world can be extremely confused and disjointed. For all her propensity to loner behavior and isolation she's realistically someone who actually does need something like a caretaker or Designated Person™ to help her keep track of things and work with her when she struggles. This can leave her open to manipulation/exploitation and why she tends to go back to her mothers or the X-Men.

Rogue has a tendency to Go Rogue

In a lot of ways Rogue is actually very reliable and dependable. If you're on the job with her she will not make any totally bonkers harebrained decisions. Even if she goes off script it's likely for a good reason and is thought thru in her own weird ass way. She's also prone to bugging out when emotionally/mentally distraught or feeling socially unwanted/pressured etc. Her two biggest reactions are "beat the shit out of em" or "runaway and never ever come back". Both of these cause huge problems for everyone. She's been doing this since she was 6 and she's not changing now. She can also just get an idea in her head and fuck off on her own to investigate. Like you cannot guarantee Rogue'll be to the meeting on time but you can be sure she's On Her Bullshit in one way or another.

a Fool: why do you have rogue constantly flirting with the extremist/magneto/brotherhood ideology and generally just more Okay with super illegal shit ????? Well— 1. raised by two extremist terrorists 2. 18ish at the time of the MOORLOCK MASSACRE and was on the FRONT LINES OF IT 3. GENOSHA. JUST. PRE-MAGNETO OG MUTANT SLAVE HAVING GENOSHA. SHE WAS A PRISONER THERE. 4. all of her best friends and family are fucking sketchy as shit lbr 5. Why do you think magneto and remy were both vibing her???? she IS ALSO VERY IFFY 6. when given her own team on utopia 50% was villians 7. honestly every team she’s been a leader of has had at least 2 other ppl who were down with murder 8. knows that in the darkest timelines she’d only be kept alive to be used as experiment fodder bc of the nature of her powers and lbr her life is shit enough so let’s just off those dude now okay?

After Re watching that episode from the 90s TV show where Nightcrawler Is talking with Mystique because he wants to know why she abandoned him and all that... Well, All i could think was Rogue has serious thoughts about this.

And i was wonder Who IS the oldest sibling? Because I thinks Is Kurt but i may be wrong.

i hate 'til it bores me.

that will make me brave.

now i'm the bad one.

there's no one i trust.

who wants to care that much?

sometimes you can't repair things.

more bad news that i didn't need.

i can't stop reading, but i wish that i didn't know.

i am looking at pictures of cats.

i didn't want to be useless today.

try me tomorrow, today has been laying me low.

everything fell apart, everything changed.

sitting there, bleeding out, isn't it strange?

you're dying where you stand.

what will be will be.

that sounds like the plan of an ordinary man.

no one tells you the ending — but it ends this way.

haven't you done enough saving by now?

can't they take care of each other somehow?

is it really over?

be who you're supposed to be.

try, and then, try again.

she holds my hand like i'm a barbed wire fence.

i appreciate the outrage.

nothing looks good on me.

i'm not a piece of meat.

do you know i love your tattoo?

ten minutes more, no matter what i say.

i sleep for fifty years, and you're still here.

our mistakes were the future.

if there's nobody left, then who is it for?

there's no one left who can remember me.

pulled down the stars for you, and you made me wait a minute.

you dreamed of me?

i made a dream for you.

rise and shine.

i want you all to myself.

there you are.

I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?
