Remember how in promotional materials Beau DeMayo said that Rogue is the mascot of the series ...
Beau DeMayo on Rogue's role in ‘X-MEN '97’:
“This great mascot for the show — not in the high-school type of way. She can find a deeper type of intimacy and connection. You’ll see that’s a central theme this season.”
So let's summarize
Currently Rogue is:
1) Terrible girlfriend
2) Emotionally unstable mutant terrorist
3) Killer (almost)
