[Ultimate Rogue]

Let's start a new page on a high, everything before and since the above, that has happened in all of comic books has just been a little silly! if we're being honest

I wanted to buy those, especially the Rogue one, but I've got too many irons in the fire at the moment. Pretty cover, though.

In other more troublesome news, lets head over to Captain unlikeable Marvel;

Yikes, I like Rogues look here, but the words trouble me.

I always love to see Rogue kick the butt of Carol's drunk, love AvsXmen and like Rogue the humiliation XD.

[Omegarogue]

Rogue's action's here make no sense. Rogue has felt nothing but overwhelming guilt over what happened between her and Carol for more than 35 years. Somehow Nuclear man has manipulated Rogue with his will weakening ray. (It's nice to see Rogue pack wallop though. ) I think Carol will end up using psychology to defuse Rogue. Carol's first instint would be to smash Rogue into bits. But I think Carol will try to get to the root cause of Rogue's hostility. Carol may even come clean about a long hidden secret about what happened in the past between the two of them to set Rogue free.
Why is Nuclear man using Rogue like this against Rogue? Does he want Carol dead? Unlikely. This guy is a male supremacist straight out the Archie Bunker 1970s. This guy wants Carol to be his bride. But first, she has to be made broken in spirit and become submissive. How does Rogue fit in? Carol is put into a kill or be killed situation. If Carol is forced to kill Rogue (who is mostly likely being controled by N Man) it would break her emotionly by being forced to kill an innocent person. If Rogue wins, the leader of the rebellion is eliminated. Either way, N Man wins. Now as far as Carol goes about history repeating itself I believe the real question is: Am I willing to sacrifice an innocent for my own self preservation?

The question is Rogue must be yes or yes, much stronger than Carol (in physical strength and power) because breaking it into pieces is not an option, Rogue can hold anything thrown by Carol, instead Carol could not stand long to Rogue, especially if she decides to use absorption, Rogue is on a different level.


But she will probably use psychology.

If this is well written Carol has zero chance of defeating Rogue.

Carol can not with Rogue only consus absorption powers, and will be able to with her with a powerset that is superior to carol? (the Wonderman) because the answer is NO, there may be an exchange of blows on both sides, but as Rogue removes the gloves the fight is over.

Carol DOES NOT HAVE TO WIN ROGUE.

Marvel vs DC, Love this one, so atmospheric, been there, done that!
Rogue is perfect in this one

Forgot about this bleedingcool article of a possible leak about Rogues future team

Check out the second post



I like the idea of a darker tone as mentioned, it doesn't address JDWs comment about Rogue being on a team that she hasn't been on before though, unless they are part of a new team of ....hmm......possibly Hellfire Club, Excalibur, X-force

funded by Sunspot.....hmm....




[edit] scratch that, apparently it's bollocks

Yeah, I'm not sure what Carol's power level is currently, but if she's at the same level as the last time she and Rogue fought, Rogue should have no trouble mopping the floor with her.

Unless of course Editors dictates that Carol win because she has a movie out now.

Kelly's got to walk a tightrope here. On one hand, if Carol bashes Rogue senseless, she risks a backlash from Rogue fans, especially if Rogue is an innocent victim of mind control. Another problem with Carol bashing a mind-controlled Rogue is Carol still has a public black eye from Civil War II. Rogue was an Avenger for 5 plus years and publicly trusted enough to act as charactor witness in a courtroom. Captain America thinks highly of her. This is why I think Carol will try to use common sense and try to get to the root of why Rogue really has mad on for and defuse Rogue by using psychology. How Carol will aproach this,I'm not sure. Maybe revealing a long hidden secret only Carol knows about what happened between them so long ago. This way, in the end, neither Carol or Rogue end up winning, and Carol ends up saving face.

That post was from last year. Things change

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Uncanny X-Men #242 Mar 1989
Inferno: Part 4 of 7 - "Burn!" Guest-starring X-Factor.
Story continued from X-Factor #37...

To be sure that his senses are not fooling him, Wolverine kisses Marvel Girl, confirming for him that she is still alive.
Now for the first time ever, the X-Men and X-Factor have crossed paths as they are
gathered around Madelyne Pryor who has her and Cyclops's son Nathan Christopher.
With the X-Men having arrived, Madelyne has hidden her Goblin Queen form from them.
Marvel Girl pushes Wolverine away when he refuses to stop coming on so strong, prompting her to tell Storm to control her people.
When Iceman and Beast attempt to grab Christopher from Madelyne, Havok gets in their way.
Tempers begin to flare out of control due to the X-Men's manipulations by the Inferno,
and their continued belief that X-Factor are mutant hunters.
This causes Wolverine and Dark Angel to come to blows. Warren manages to strike down Wolverine with his wing feathers.
Rogue flies in and attempts to stop Warren by kissing him to absorb his strength, powers and memories.
However, she only sees the image of Apocalypse in his mind and is shocked when Warren is capable of pulling away from her embrace.
Before she can do anything about it, she is blasted from behind by Cyclops.
This leads to a full out fight between the X-Men and X-Factor.
As Iceman attempts to ice up Havok, he uses his powers to melt the ice sending a flood.
When Dazzler and Longshot get caught up in the water, the two
-- having been affected by the Inferno spell -- start making out in the middle of the battle.
As Cyclops pulls Madelyne out of the water, she berates him for abandoning her.
When Scott tries to defend himself, his brother Alex appears and begins attacking him,
telling him that he betrayed his marital vows to Maddie the day that he left her.

Just then, N'Astirh appears before them and swats Havok away, and then unleashes two demons on Marvel Girl.
The moment the creatures make contact with her, MG realizes -- to her horror -- they are her parents transformed into demons.
As the battle rages on, N'Astirh summons a demonic stage-coach and is about to leave with Madelyne,
putting Cyclops in a position where he must make a tough choice:
Does he save his wife and child from being taken into the clutches of the techno-organic demon,
or save Marvel Girl from the creatures that are her parents transformed. Cursing himself, Scott chooses MG,
and N'Astirh picks up Maddie and little Christopher and flees the scene.
Havok, cursing his brother as well jumps onto the back of the coach in the hopes of rescuing her himself.
Scott runs to Jean's side and Jean condemns Madelyne as a being of pure evil.
Scott and Jean then go to where the members of the X-Men and X-Factor are still battling it out.

While speeding through the city, Madelyne drops her innocent appearance and readopts her Goblin Queen uniform.
Havok meanwhile holds onto the coach for dear life. As the wind rips through his costume,
he feels as though that it's doing something worse to his soul.
When the coach finally stops at the transformed Empire State Building, he reveals his presence to N'Astirh and the Goblin Queen.
Maddie remarks how his tattered uniform now resembles her and asks for his loyalty.
Giving it willingly, she christens him her Goblin Prince.
As they enter into the building to prepare for the sacrifice of young Nathan,
they are watched by Colossus who begins to scale up the side of the building in order to stop them.

Back in Central Park, the battle between the X-Men and X-Factor rages on, as the members of X-Factor learn that
the X-Men still believe that they are mutant hunters and are unaware that they revealed themselves as mutants.

As Wolverine and Dark Angel fight it out, Cyclops wonders where Storm is,
hoping that he can talk her into getting the X-Men to stop fighting.
Storm has spent most of the battle floating above Central Park looking at the transformed Empire State Building
and wondering how the Inferno has affected her and her comrades. The obscene obelisk reminds her of the butte from the
other dimensional world that the Adversary banished her and Forge not too long ago and wonders about it's significance.

While high above the tower, N'Astirh, the Goblin Queen and Havok prepare for the coming sacrifice by creating an altar.
N'Astirh is shocked to see how quickly Madelyne is adapting to her newfound powers.
When the demonically transformed Grey parents arrives with young Christopher Summers,
Madelyne is disgusted by their ability to sense that the child is somehow related to them.
As Madelyne finishes commenting about how only the baby is truly hers,
she is angered to find that young Christopher has telepathically communicated to Marvel Girl about his impending sacrifice
launching her into a fury and deciding to hold off on the sacrifice until she can destroy MG once and for all.

Down below in Central Park, Marvel Girl's battle with Rogue is cut short when winds carry her up to where Storm has been watching the battle.
When the two are finally reunited, they agree to get both of their teams to stand down so that they can save Christopher from his insane mother.
However their reunion is cut short when N'Astirh teleports before them and attacks.
Despite the combined efforts of both X-Men and X-Factor, none prove to be much of a match against the newly techno-organic demon.

However, when he grabs a hold of Rogue and attempts to infect her with the Transmode virus,
he learns that she had developed an immunity to it thanks to her encounter with the Technarc named Magus.

While atop the Empire State Building, Colossus reaches its peak and when he attempts to stop the Goblin Queen, Havok blasts him away.
As he flies across the city he is saved from a nasty landing by Iceman,
who uses an ice slide to send him flying into N'Astirh, weakening the creature
due to its natural weakness to iron, forcing the demon to teleport away.

With the X-Men and X-Factor unified, Storm orders Psylocke to boost her
psi-powers over the static created by the Inferno by psi-linking with Marvel Girl.
This is a pleasant surprise for MG, who for months has not had the benefit of her telepathy.

They exchange information regarding Rogue and Colossus's encounter with the Magus in order to learn the weaknesses
of techno-organic beings so that they can better deal with N'Astirh when they make their final assault on the Empire State Building.

Sending Colossus up the tower again to distract N'Astirh, the Goblin Queen and Havok, he finds himself bound by strange tentacles.
When Dark Angel and Wolverine join the fracas, they injure N'Astirh and save Colossus
giving Storm and Iceman an opening to freeze N'Astirh in ice.
As N'Astirh boasts that the cold allows his computer systems to operate at peak efficiency he attempts to cast a massive spell.
However, this is when Cyclops and Dazzler chime in with their powers along with Storm
increasing the humidity under the ice barrier causing N'Astirh's circuits to overheat.
As the final salvo, Storm unleashes a powerful torrent of lightning bolts
that quickly overload N'Astirh's circuits causing him to explode.
Unfortunately for the two groups of mutants, even though N'Astirh was seemingly destroyed, the Inferno spell still appears to be intact.

Cyclops is appalled at Storm's willingness to slay their enemy, and this begins a
debate between the two groups' different methods in striving for defending mutants.
In the middle of the argument, Marvel Girl is suddenly caught in a mystical noose and pulled away.
When the X-Men and X-Factor turn to see who has attacked MG, they are shocked to see that the Goblin Queen is still alive
and possessing all her magical might and demon hordes and that she now intends to destroy them all.

The real disgusting thing about UXM#242 is that Rogue saves both Storm and Jean from becoming N'Artirh's techno-organic slaves and 2 issues later Storm shows how much of a self-righteous ingrate she is!

Yikes, Sugah the pill, mikeb LOL

Hmm, Storm shows mighty hypocrisy there in such a small amount of time. Taking such a stance on Rogue but then 'Cyclops is appalled at Storm's willingness to slay their enemy' as stated in 616MarvelYearisLeapYears post.

[Ultimate Rogue]

How much control has Nuclear Man over his 'captives', is he in total control, seeing and maneuvering through Rogue and others or does he subtly push them? Is he more a mind controller or like Puppet Master?

I saw the preview for next issue and Rogue was wearing a glowing purple jewel around the neck, it could be the origin of the mind control
