The Untouchable Powerhouse
Rogue first appeared in Avengers Annual #10 (1981), created by Chris Claremont and Michael Golden. She debuted as a villain, a member of Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Her attack on Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) permanently absorbed Carol's powers—flight, super-strength, and invulnerability—but also her memories, leaving Rogue traumatized by the experience.
Seeking help to control her powers, Rogue turned to Professor Xavier and joined the X-Men. Her journey from villain to hero is one of the great redemption arcs in comics. She struggled with the voices in her head from absorbed personalities, her inability to touch anyone without harming them, and her guilt over what she did to Carol Danvers.
Rogue's romance with Gambit is legendary—two people who can't physically touch but love each other deeply. Their relationship has been central to X-Men stories for decades. Rogue has also served on the Avengers Unity Division, led X-Men teams, and even temporarily gained full control of her powers. Her iconic white streak and Southern charm make her instantly recognizable.

Media Appearances & MCU Potential
Rogue has been featured prominently in X-Men media. Anna Paquin played her in the original X-Men film trilogy (2000-2006), though that version was significantly depowered compared to comics. The X-Men: The Animated Series (1992-1997) featured a more comic-accurate Rogue with her full powerset and Southern personality.
For the MCU's X-Men reboot, Rogue is a guaranteed inclusion. Her visual design is iconic, her powers create natural drama, and her romance with Gambit is beloved. The MCU could finally give fans a fully-powered Rogue who can fly, punch through walls, and absorb abilities from heroes and villains alike. Her Avengers membership in comics makes crossover appearances natural.
INVESTMENT ALERT: Rogue cards are ELITE Platinum tier investments. Avengers Annual #10 (first appearance) is a Bronze Age key. Her popularity and guaranteed MCU inclusion ensure strong demand. Pair with Gambit cards for maximum collection value. Essential for X-Men collectors.
