Hmm I suppose Astra could get into a catfight with Rogue over not getting attention. Wouldn't be the first woman who fought Rogue for that reason.
*cough* Bella Donna *cough*
Oh no, I wasn't implying what happened with Rogue and Cody when she was young was something intentionally malicious or villainous. The way it's usually portrayed, it was an innocent kiss and was deeply traumatic for her. I just meant that Cody's family and relatives probably wouldn't see it that way. Whatever guilt Rogue felt, they still lost a family member. People have hated mutants for less, so I could easily see someone looking for revenge. But that's just a hypothetical situation that a writer could play with. But yes, Candra and Bella Donna did not help the situation either.
Also while
that incident was not her fault, there was plenty of stuff she did as a teenage villain that does hold some responsibility for, Mystique brainwashing her or not
(ie absorbing Carol). Like harassing Dazzler and fighting other heroes. I just see some potential stories there, for more things outside of the Carol incident to come back and haunt her. Could be entertaining for a solo book.
As for Josh helping, I'm not sure his powers had activated yet. He might have been too young. And for the telepaths, that is a good question. I'm not sure, though, if they can do anything for someone in a coma like that.
No I know how strong she is now.
also i wrote class 100 in the original post in this thread xd But there are still villains who would likely give her trouble. The High Evolutionary fought her with the WM powers and didn't even flinch.
then again RR liked to downplay Rogue a lot Same for Ultron, Nuclear Man, Juggernaut and a few others since then.
I do wish they'd emphasized the power boost more though. I feel like she just gets written as if she has her old power-set, when that's not really true. rip no red eyes or purple dots for Rogue lol
