Household described himself as "a sort of bastard by Stevenson out of Conrad", and the literary genealogy for Rogue Male seems clear enough. Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped (1886) began the "hunted-man" genre. John Buchan's The Thirty-Nine Steps (1915) updated it for an age of geopolitics and aerial surveillance. Graham Greene's A Gun for Sale (1936) extended its geographies and reversed the logic of pursuit, so the assassin became the quarry. From these writers Household learned the skill of pacing and the propulsive narrative power of the chase.

In the Amalgam Comics limited run, Rogue is combined with the DC Comics character Gypsy to form the new character Runaway. [229] Exiles [ edit ] The Danvers personality eventually grows so strong that Carol replaces Rogue's standard X-Men costume with Ms. Marvel's uniform during battle, as well as redecorating Rogue's room to her own tastes without her permission. [35] Return [ edit ] After the events of the " Age of X" storyline, Rogue decides not to wipe her memories. Gambit admits the extent of his feelings for her, but is also frustrated by her indecisiveness. He tells her that it is better they are apart until she decides to be with him for good and that he would be waiting for her when she is ready. [85] She becomes torn between her feelings for Gambit and Magneto. After Rogue confronts Magneto about his past, she spends a night with him, promising nothing else. [86] Afterwards, Rogue joins Professor X, Frenzy, Legion, Magneto, and Gambit on a mission to capture several of Legion's personalities that escaped after Age of X. The final battle with Legion's personality Styx results in Rogue temporarily absorbing many of Legion's powers, which led her to finding the location of Havok, Polaris, and Marvel Girl; the mutants that were left in space after the X-Men's mission to stop Vulcan. [87] While on a trip to Japan to investigate an incriminating photo of her and Sunfire engaged in criminal activities, Rogue and Sunfire learn that Rogue's former friend and Brotherhood teammate, Blindspot, erased their memories of the event. In this storyline, Rogue accidentally and permanently absorbs Sunfire's fire abilities (who lost his legs to Lady Deathstrike and does not want to live). [54]Soon afterwards, Britain declares war against Germany, and Hunter, now with his status restored, agrees to discuss with the Admiralty about a secret mission (heavily implied to be a second attempt on Hitler's life).

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&issueneeded]

Rogue is hospitalized after a battle with Pandemic. Cable, desiring Rogue's help in defeating the Hecatomb, forces her awake. Pandemic infects Rogue with a virus, Strain 88, altering her powers by amplifying them into an instantaneous death-touch. In defeating Hecatomb, Rogue absorbs psyches of eight billion entities that were stored inside it. [60] Months later, Rogue and Gambit reconciled and slowly rebuilt their relationship. Shortly before the emergence of the Neo, Rogue's fellow X-Men wanted her to step up as the leader of her own team. Rogue was very reluctant to take the mantle and her time as a leader was fairly short. Soon after, Rogue was nearly murdered by Mystique when she got in the way of a plot to assassinate presidential candidate Robert Kelly. Their bond has yet to fully recover from that incident.

According to the official novelization of X-Men, her surname in the film series is "D'Ancanto". In the comics, her chosen name (according to X-Treme X-Men #31) is Anna Raven when her powers are inactive ( Raven Darkholme is Mystique's name). In X-Men #24, she tries to reveal it to Gambit on a date, but he stops her. In 2022, Sportskeeda ranked Rogue 6th in their "10 best X-Men characters who also joined the Avengers" list. [195] In 2020, Scary Mommy included Rogue in their "195+ Marvel Female Characters Are Truly Heroic" list.

[14] Mystique ultimately takes Rogue in as a daughter. [13] In time, however, Mystique turns Rogue's loneliness, envy, bitterness, and despair into anger, thus recruiting her into the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Ares does not take her seriously and dismisses her both as an opponent and her attempts to calm things down. This results in Rogue grabbing Ares and absorbing his powers. Ares is dismissive of her attempt and claims that she cannot absorb him, a boast that proves wrong as she weakens him enough for Gambit to blast him, leaving him bloody and stunned. Having for the moment absorbed some of Ares' power, she easily dispatches a small group of H.A.M.M.E.R. agents with superhuman strength and proceeds to steal their tank, along with Gambit and Danger, to find the rest of the students.
