Maybe they could have done something but it's really too late now. Unless Krakoa decides it will allow resurrecting humans... which could be an interesting story.
That's a good question. I'm going to assume she should be the same as how KT left her? In so far as that she retains control but that it can be broken or disrupted if she lets fear get a hold of her. I think that's a fair weakness.Originally Posted by AppleJ
And yea I agree, I'm not sure exactly sure why she was experiencing control issues. Though that kinda brings to mind an interesting question. Krakoa is basically feeding on all the mutants on the island and Rogue herself absorbs life-force so... how does that work exactly? lol The only thing that comes to mind when two entities that have similar life-absorption powers happen is that episode when Sauron tries to absorb Rogue in TAS.
Though iirc Selene and Rogue had a similar interaction but Selene's absorption overpowered Rogue's. Either way, I imagine mutants that have vampiric abilities (Emplate, Selene) might experience some weirdness on Krakoa and maybe that's why Rogue's control was affected? Or at least thats how I would explain it away...
Nice! I'm glad we're at least getting some content outside of Excalibur for Rogue.Originally Posted by Dipter
I think you might be onto something here. I'm trying to remember, has Rogue ever tried to absorb Hope besides when she was a baby? It was never fully explained how she cured Rogue was it? I'm not really sure what that would look like if Rogue COULD absorb Hope's powers to be honest. Hope tends to enhance and mimic.
But yeah, I'm guessing there's going to eventually be some kind of slow burn reveal about how Krakoa is effecting certain mutants like Rogue and Rictor in Excalibur. Just seems annoying that it's not being addressed sooner or given better hints along the way. Meh.
Very excited to read this Women of Marvel story though. I LOVE the dedicated yet extremely fraught relationship between Rogue and Mystique. And getting a different writer is a bonus.
I don't think so, though that would be interesting. In a similar vein if Hope and Synch were together in a room, I feel like they just cancel each other out. Or in Hope's case, wipes out certain "caches" that power mimickers like Rogue or Synch might have within them where they store of personalities and powers. That's how I assume Rogue got cured from the Strain 88 virus.Originally Posted by AppleJ
Speaking of Hope, wow that Rogue and Hope connection was dropped like a hot potato. It was referenced slightly in Generation Hope but even that was a blink and you miss it moment. I wish Carey or someone would've mentioned what their deal is beyond Hope seeming to use Rogue as a catalyst for her own powers.
Same. I think it's more what Hickman wants to see and question at the moment. We're still in the establishing phase of Krakoa so he probably doesn't want us to question the island too much right now in "Phase 1". But honestly it feels kinda hollow that everyone just kinda accepts things like this, when usually they tend to be more suspicious of drastic change.But yeah, I'm guessing there's going to eventually be some kind of slow burn reveal about how Krakoa is effecting certain mutants like Rogue and Rictor in Excalibur.

Yea I'm pretty excited to see what Alterici has in store for us.Very excited to read this Women of Marvel story though. I LOVE the dedicated yet extremely fraught relationship between Rogue and Mystique. And getting a different writer is a bonus.
Mystique and Rogue's relationship has always been an interesting point of both their histories. It's clear Raven cares a lot about Anna (more so than her actual biological son) probably because Rogue was around during some of the happiest moments in her life. It's the closet Mystique got to having a normal life and raising of a family (or terrorists lol).
I hope they reference Destiny in the story. If Mystique plans to bring down Krakoa, I feel like she'd want Rogue away or out of the cross-fire.

Some Rogue and Mystique GIFs from "A Rogue's Tale" inspired by the news.
I'm excited to see where they are going to go with Rogue and Mystique. They interact so little with each other. I would also would love for Kurt to be involved as well like X-men unlimited #4 back in '93. Hell give me Rogue, Iceman, and Cannonball in a book again. Loved their dynamic.
Maybe the pull a Magnus on them
Now Rogue is Raven spoilers:end of spoilers
biological mother
For some reason, I keep thinking that when Mystique goes to take it all down ... she might just recruit Rogue to help her. At least, I think that would be interesting. Now since Hickman seems oblivious to the character, it probably won't go that way. But I think Rogue would go against Xavier to bring back her Mom. I really do.
Side note ... ok, this is a weird one ... but my new head cannon is that Mystique is Rogue's Father. Hear me out, but what if Mystique impersonated Owen on Destiny's orders because she knew they would need Rogue to exist for something essential in their future? It would be an easy way to expain why Rogue's Father up and vanished too.
