Rogue is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books
published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men.
The character debuted in Avengers Annual #10 (1981) as a villain, but
she joined the X-Men soon thereafter.Rogue is part of a subspecies of
humans called mutants, who are born with superhuman abilities. Rogue
has the involuntary ability to absorb and sometimes also remove the
memories, physical strength, and superpowers of anyone she touches.
Therefore, Rogue considers her powers to be a curse. Due to her skin
producing involuntary high-voltage jolts, for most of her life she
limited her physical contact with others, including her on-off love
interest and eventual husband, Gambit. However, after many years,
Rogue finally gained full control over her mutant ability.Hailing from
the fictional Caldecott County, Mississippi, Rogue is the X-Men's
self-described southern belle. A runaway, she was adopted by Mystique
of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and grew up as a villain. After
Rogue permanently absorbs Ms. Marvel's psyche and Kree powers, she
reforms and turns to the X-Men, fearing for her sanity. Rogue's real
name and early history were not revealed until nearly 20 years after
her introduction. Until the back story provided by Robert Rodi in the
ongoing Rogue series, which began in September 2004, Rogue's
background was only hinted at. Her name was revealed as Anna Marie,
although her surname is still unknown. She has sometimes adopted the
name Raven, which is the first name of her foster mother,
Mystique.Rogue has been one of the most prominent members of the X-Men
since the 1980s. She was #5 on IGN's Top 25 X-Men list for 2006, #4 on
their Top Ten X-Babes list for 2006, #3 on Marvel's list of Top 10
Toughest Females for 2009 and was given title of #1 X-Man on CBR's Top
50 X-Men of All Time for 2008. She was ranked tenth in Comics Buyer's
Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list. Rogue has been featured in
most of the X-Men animated series, and various video games. In the
X-Men film series, she was portrayed by Anna Paquin. Her visual cue is
often the white streak that runs through her hair and her gloves.
