Rogue Appreciation 2021

[Project Initiative Cascada]

That Darkholme family photo certainly is incredible and heartwarming. However and not in any way to discredit but isn’t Rogue much younger than Kurt? I always pictured him being up with the 05 and Storm and their age range, while Rogue was only a few years older than Kitty when she joined (Some say she was 17 or something).

Yea Kurt should be older than Rogue. Nightcrawler was already an adult (early or mid twenties?) with ANAD and Rogue was barely 18 when she first joined after him, so he should be older. I'd guesstimate he has around four or more years on her.

Very short preview for some panels of the Rogue & Mystique story.


Link just in case you want to check out the entire video.

The Women of Marvel story was short but very cute in a saturday morning cartoon sort of way. In a perfect world, there would be a whole series about teenage Rogue and Mystique titled “My Super-villain Mom is Ruining My Life.” I’ll cherish this story because who knows how long I’ll have to wait for their relationship to be acknowledged again.

[ChronoRogue]

Yes, I almost forget it came out today. It was a lot shorter than I wanted but it was kinda cute.

spoilers:

Though I'm a bit confused when this fits into her history. I assume this is pre-absorbing Carol, since she seemed unable to take care of the Skeleton!Rex herself. Mystique catching on that Rogue was beginning to become aware of boys and acting like a protective parent xD

She was 17/18 when Kurt was 21 so not a lot younger. so about 4 years. She was close to the same age as Ray.

Anyway maybe Rogue can make an appearance in Way of X.

IKR!? ��

A couple of Rogue questions to spice up this thread for anyone that wants to answer! I'll start it off with giving my own answers.

First Rogue Issue You Read?

While probably not exactly the first X-Men comic I read as that's a bit more ambiguous and hard for me remember, the issue that I distinctly recall noticing Rogue was...

X-Men # 94



Favorite Team (with Rogue)?

Perhaps this is sacrilege but it's not actually the Outback or 90s team. I think I'm gonna go with Carey's mess of team. It was really fun reading about Rogue trying to lead a bunch of villains, it's like trying to herd cats.

Rogue would totally lead a Thunderbolts type X-Book pls.

Preferred Powerset? Flying Brick or Solo Absorption

There are benefits to both but I gotta go with the flying brick powers. It fits her personality completely and creative use of her powers is not strictly prohibited while using this set, it's just writers seem to intentionally handicap her or ignore them at times. It's just a sad reality.

I will say, however, that's Rogue highest highs in terms of actions all involve her absorption powers though. None of her flying brick showings are as memorable.



Favorite Underrated Rogue Writer?



Jim Zub or Steven Seagle. Zub had great action sequences and actually tried to write some team interactions, if a bit regressive with some confidence issues.

Stevan T. Seagle didn't write that many Rogue issues but when he did he wrote a somewhat darker Rogue. I wish he had more time to explore that story-line.

Favorite Rogue Artist?

This is so hard. Pepe Larraz, Coipel, Bachalo, and Clayman are all great.

I... think I'm gonna cop out on this one and let other people answer lol. : p but it might chris bachalo considering how much I posted above

So yea, what do you guys think? Reposting for easy copy and paste format.

First Rogue Issue You Read?

X-Men #24
clean.jpg
Was an avid XTAS watcher at the time and when I spotted this cover I was immediately intrigued. It was my X-Men comics entry point.

Favorite Team (with Rogue)?
That is tough! Probably the Blue team from the 90s just because I loved that whole line up and their interactions with Gold, but any team is better with Rogue on it or leading it.

Preferred Powerset? Flying Brick or Solo Absorption?
Again, so tough but it's Flying Brick. She is more brash and fun when she's high flying and invulnerable. That said, I always want to see more and creative use of her absorption powers.

Favorite Underrated Rogue Writer?
Hmmm no one I can think of is really underrated, though I agree Seagle did some great issues with her so that might be mine too come to think of it.

Favorite Rogue Artist?
Coipel hands down, then Larraz, really enjoyed Pere Perez more recently, Jim Lee is always a classic, Kubert too

[ChronoRogue]

Interesting!

So far the only common thread here is prefering Rogue with flying brick powers. xD

But Coipel is wonderful and I completely forget about the all X-Women team. I wish we'd had Rogue on there for longer.

[Krakoa]

Yep. Not a whole lot to it but was a nice change of pace!

P sure the election results are happening in X-Men #21 so we should see her there as well!

P sure the election results are happening in X-Men #21 so we should see her there as well!

I hope so! I'm pretty curious on how exactly everyone got picked. I guess I can buy that Rogue is a recognizable X-Man in-universe, what with being a long-time member and being an avenger (though that might work against her vote-wise...).
