Rogue complimented Paint on her tattoos and in return, Paint gave Rogue some tattoos of her own. Rogue ended up staying at a beach house in Valle Soleada , a town wherein mutants and humans coexisted peacefully.
She subsequently received a visit from Bishop and Sage and, after a series of events involving an investigation into the murder of a human girl's family, Rogue and Gambit signed up with Bishop and Sage to help stop Sage's enemy and former boss Elias Bogan. After the battle Rogue asked Sage to restore Gambit's abilities, which she did. Rogue and Gambit returned to the X-Men. Over time, Rogue's own abilities returned naturally; however, she no longer possessed the abilities she had absorbed from Ms.
Rogue and Gambit were both put on Havok 's team. On their first mission back, the X-Men battled against a Chinese mutant team to rescue Xorn. They succeeded and brought Xorn back to the X-Mansion with them. The X-Men then faced a new Brotherhood in Philadelphia. The Brotherhood followed them back to the Mansion and attacked them at home.
Black Tom almost killed Rogue, but she was saved by Northstar. Rogue then traveled down south to save a young mutant girl from her powers. While there, she met Campbell Sainte-Ange , a young man who was immune to Rogue's lethal touch. Also while there, Rogue forcibly absorbed knowledge from her Aunt Carrie that explained that Rogue's mother had traveled to the Far Banks , a dream-realm, to stop her father from getting there himself.
Rogue encountered the incorporeal spirit of her mother therein, and absorbed her memories. After the reunion, her mother's trapped spirit could finally move on. Rogue subsequently went back to her Aunt Carrie and made amends with her. Rogue then returned to the X-Men and had to fight against the monstrous Golgotha , large creatures with limited telepathic abilities. During this ordeal, Rogue and Gambit got into a fight, and he left.
While recovering from Logan's mind, Rogue received a call from Emma Frost , who tried to kill Havok, mistakenly thinking Havok to be Cyclops. She later gained Sunfire 's powers after absorbing them when he was dying, subsequent to his battle with Lady Deathstrike , who amputated both his legs.
Rogue returned to the Mansion and led the Advocates Squad in the school's new squad system. Foxx was actually Mystique in disguise, who sought to break up Gambit and Rogue. She believed she had found someone better for Rogue, and was not particularly fond of Gambit. Rogue was given command of an X-Men team by Cyclops. She also dealt with Gambit's transformation into Death. Mystique seemingly tried to repair her relationship with Rogue, but was rebuffed. Rogue's team defeated the group known as the Children of the Vault.
Afterward, Rogue declared her team would be leaving the X-Mansion. Rogue was hospitalized after a battle with Pandemic. Cable, desiring Rogue's help in defeating the Hecatomb , forced Rogue awake. Pandemic infected Rogue with a virus, Strain 88, altering her powers by amplifying them into an instantaneous death-touch.
In defeating Hecatomb, Rogue absorbed psyches of eight billion entities that had been stored inside it. The team moved to Rogue's hometown of Caldecott for Rogue to recover. As Cyclops and Emma Frost arrived to help Rogue cope with the immensity of the voices in her mind, Marauders arrived seeking Destiny's Diaries.
As part of the attack, it was discovered that Mystique was working with the Marauders and for Mister Sinister. Mystique shot Rogue and took her back to Mr. Sinister's base, who only kept Rogue alive because she held all the information of Destiny's Diaries within her mind. Gambit, who had joined the Marauders and Mr. Sinister again, was protective of Rogue and accused Mystique of being too careless in how she captured her.
Gambit tried to get her to wake up after she had fallen into a trance overcome by the minds she absorbed and expresses his apologies for what he had done before rejoining Sinister. Rogue had flashes of memories, both of her and Gambit during the time that they had known each other, and of the millions of minds she absorbed, while in her coma-like state before briefly waking up and recognizing Gambit.
She told him she had a nightmare, before spouting incoherent words and mysterious coordinates. The X-Men attacked the Marauders' Antarctic base in order to rescue Rogue and the mysterious first mutant baby born since M-Day ; however, the baby eventually took precedence and the X-Men did not recover, nor even see, Rogue.
Sinister, in possession of the mutant baby, relocated the Marauders to Muir Island. While standing by Rogue's bedside, Mystique was visited by Mr. Sinister who told her that there would be no cure for Rogue and she would eventually die. Without warning, Mystique ambushed Sinister and shoved his face onto Rogue's.
The instant contact seemingly killed Sinister. Mystique, in keeping with the words of the Destiny Diaries, placed the baby's face in direct contact with Rogue's, with the understanding that Rogue would awaken from her comatose state. The baby was not affected by Rogue's power, and Rogue awakened shortly after.
Realizing what Mystique had done at the risk of killing the baby, Rogue said she was tired of people's lives being destroyed by Mystique and grabbed Mystique's face barehanded, fully absorbing her powers and consciousness. Mystique was left on the floor incapacitated as Rogue told Gambit that when the baby touched her, it removed all the psyches of everybody she had ever touched and that only herself and Mystique were left in her mind.
She told Gambit she needed to be alone and told him not to follow her. Rogue travelled around the Australian outback on a motorcycle. She spoke to Mystique who was in fact a copy of the real Mystique's mind, residing in Rogue's psyche telling her that no one else could help her with her powers and that it was down to her to figure out how to control them.
One day, a woman appeared in town claiming to be an anthropologist from Melbourne University. Rogue made it clear she could stay as long as she wanted, but to keep out of her way. The anthropologist approached Rogue with questions about some of the remains she had found in the town. Rogue said she didn't know and to leave her alone. The anthropologist followed her and explained she had a different identity. The anthropologist was then targeted by a low flying Shi'ar spaceship and revealed that she was really Danger and informed Rogue she was going to get her revenge on Professor Xavier for using her as a conduit.
Danger was damaged by the Shi'ar and created an amalgamation of several past events in the X-Men's history prominently involving Rogue in the town using her hard light capabilities. She was finally cornered by the Marauders, and refused to let Mystique take control and save her as the fake Scalphunter shot at her. Mystique took over Rogue's body to save her and fought off the Marauders, returning Rogue's control over her body. Rogue then made her way to the top of a holographic Tokyo Tower and tried to use its height to find the Institute, deducing that the projections were changing at ten-minute intervals, altering the environment around her; however, Rogue didn't get far as she ended up in Antarctica , witnessing the moment she abandoned Gambit after his trial.
She regretted her decision, telling Mystique that she really hadn't moved on. It's was at this point that Cody Robbins , the first person to fall victim to Rogue's powers appeared before her, repeating his greeting from the night her powers manifested, leaving her speechless. Rogue continued travelling through areas connected to her past, speaking with and fighting Ms. Marvel, Mystique and Magneto until eventually the Professor, Gambit, and a group of Shi'ar pirates managed to shut down Danger; however, the Professor reactivated her and she and Rogue defeated the pirates in turn.
After this, it was revealed that Rogue's powers never truly developed past their initial "nascent" stage, which was the reason why they never functioned properly. The Professor, now aware of this fact, used his telepathy to tear down the mental walls that kept Rogue's powers from developing the walls were created as a side effect every time she absorbed other people starting with Cody, and even more so with Ms. Marvel , as well as removing the mental echo of Mystique.
Finally Rogue kissed Gambit, with no ill side effect, revealing that she was in control of her absorption power. On their way there they were intercepted by Pixie who teleported them into the city, which was in a state of chaos due to the anti-mutant and pro-mutant movements.
Cyclops sent all three out in order to locate several missing students and brought them home. During their mission Rogue faced off against the new Ms Marvel. Finding that she couldn't touch her opponent, Rogue resorted to a trick and fled the site. Later on she joined Gambit, who had been injured by Ares , along with Danger. Ares did not take her seriously and dismissed her both as an opponent and her attempts to calm things down.
Rogue grabbed Ares and absorbed his powers. Ares was dismissive of her attempt and claimed that she couldn't absorb him, a boast that proved wrong as she weakened him enough for Gambit to blast him bloody and stunned.
Having for the moment absorbed some of Ares' power, she easily dispatched a small group of H. Rogue found Trance as her powers flared out of control, creating powerful uncontrollable bio-electric blasts. Rogue tried to help calm Trance and help her gain control when Ms. Marvel appeared. After taking out Gambit and Danger, Rogue and Ms. Marvel fought; Rogue was losing until Trance regained control and jumped in to help Rogue.
You can see it here; go to the mark:. So I was curious as to what canon explanation, if any, was given for her flight. I thought one might be available in an addition of the Marvel Universe Encyclopedia, but the 2 I found didn't offer much. Canonical information would be preferred, but theories or explanations from panels in the comics would also be helpful.
Assuming that Rogue perfectly copied Ms. Marvel's abilities, then flight is done by "sailing along the Earth's electromagnetic field". As per CBR's How Did Carol Danvers Gain the Ability to Fly article indicates, originally this was only possible due to her costume, which heightened her natural ability to do this sailing, but an encounter with MODOK reveals that the second blast from the psyche-magnetron transferred the flight abilities of the suit directly to her body.

Fans of the movie version of Rogue know that her mutant ability is that she can touch a person and absorb their powers, but there was a time in the comics that Rogue was able to fly. This is because at one point she fully absorbed the gifts of the original Ms. Marvel a. Carol Danvers a process that also gave Rogue enhanced strength and speed, immunity from poisons and other powers. If the X-Men movies were to try and give Rogue these extra abilities, however, they would have to find an alternative "origin story," as Ms.
Marvel, which resulted in putting her into a coma for several years. When Rogue holds on for long enough, the transfer of superpowers is permanent, which is why she can still fly after all these years. She also gained superhuman speed, increased reflexes and an ability to repel bullets. Rogue isn't limited to the superpowers of her fellow Mutants, she can absorb the talents of anyone she touches, even the Human Torch.
Back in Fantastic Four vs. The X-Men 4, Rogue grabs the Torch's powers without permission and immediately enjoys the idea of flaming on, but it doesn't work out too well for her.
Almost immediately, Susan Storm traps her in a forcefield, snuffing out the flame. This left Rogue naked and unable to reignite, but it wasn't the only time she took something from the Fantastic Four. In the second issue of that same series, Rogue snagged the Thing's powers via a kiss. This helped the two realize they had more in common as they previously thought thanks to both of them feeling as if they were trapped within their own bodies. You can't take the Human Torch's powers and not go about grabbing his polar opposite at least one time in your life.
Granted, Rogue has alleviated Bobby Drake, aka Iceman, of his powers on more than one occasion, but seeing as Iceman is one of the most powerful Mutants in the Marvel Universe, her taking his power should probably have been a bigger deal than it was. When Rogue takes Bobby's powers, it's usually with his permission, and like the original X-Man, she tends to have fun with it. She hasn't mastered his abilities in the same way he has, but at least she doesn't appear as a walking, talking snowman when she takes his ice powers out for a ride.
When a serious enough threat comes along, sometimes, it's best to go at it with a single person instead of a team. One of the people who offered their abilities was none other than Bruce Banner, aka The Incredible Hulk. Granted, in order to use those powers, Rogue had to get pretty peeved, but it worked.
She has also taken the powers of Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk. Rogue has taken the powers of a lot of superheroes and villains over the years, but probably none as powerful as the two green monsters. Magneto presents an interesting conundrum for the likes of Rogue seeing as she cannot take his powers When she kissed him in the comics, she wasn't able to take his powers as they proved too overwhelming for her to handle.
His intent was to transfer his abilities to her for a brief period of time so she could unwillingly use his machine to mutate a populace of world leaders. The plan failed to work since Magneto was too weak to stop Wolverine from destroying the machine at the last moment.
When Rogue took Carol Danvers' powers, she wasn't limited to her ability to fly or her invulnerability, she was also given immense levels of superhuman strength. This strength attached permanently to Rogue and it became one of her signature characteristics for years in the comics and in the various animated series. Ultimately, it turned out this power and the others taken from Danvers weren't truly permanent. After they faded, she acquired a lot of Sunfire's powers, which were somewhat similar to those she lost.
Eventually, she acquired Wonder Man's abilities, which further supplemented the ones she lost with remarkably similar powers. Generally speaking, superhuman strength isn't one of Rogue's powers, but she takes it and keeps it so often, it might as well be. Rogue and Mystique have something of a complicated past, which is putting it lightly. Mystique raised Rogue, but she did it so she could raise a daughter in her own image, which was evil.
Eventually, Rogue left Mystique's influence, but there were a number of occasions when she took her foster mother's powers for one reason or another. The best representation of this came in an episode of X-Men: The Animated Series when Carol Danvers' personality was becoming dominant.
