It's times like this, I wish wasn't so attached to my avatar. There is probably going to be lots of gorgeous new Larraz Rogue art in our future. T_T

I actually wish she'd worn more of her Excalibur look. Instead To couldn't present a distinct look which worked against the team IMO.
But yes, Larraz will make her look great in the 90s uniform.

I do wish more writers would develop her female friendships in an organic way. Excalibur is an example on how to do it wrong, by ignoring any history and having it only be a one way street ie Rogue only comforting Betsy without much explanation and not the other way around. Friendships should be equal and help explore different aspects of the character.
Ororo: While she can confide in Ororo, it's not an equal relationship. Ororo rarely lets her emotional guard down around Rogue, she'd rather lean on Jean or someone else.
Betsy: Have gotten closer, regardless of my feelings on Excalibur, but I don't think have yet to resolve key issues with their relationship. Potential to be close if Betsy ever opened about feeling like a body snatcher, since Rogue can relate on some level.
Jean: Friendly but has never been shown to be around each other much. Jean struggles from a lack of relationships beyond her lovers and very close friends (Storm).
Polaris: A consistent team member but they never confide or really get deep with their friendship. Awkward angle of "I dated your dad" and "I find your boyfriend/husband attractive".
Jubilee: Age-gap but also hasn't had much significant interactions with regardless. I think it was a missed opportunity for Rogue to interact with Shogo and Jubilee more and really get a feel if she wanted or was ready to have children. I don't think kids in superhero comics are handled very well, see Jubilee, but going through a magical coma is the most boring way of exploring that.
Shadowcat: Has had some nice stories here and there but similar to Jubilee, they are rarely on the same team. Rogue did help Kitty a lot during her wedding jitters, too bad it was all for naught.
Though I suppose it's not just Rogue who has this problem. Due to changing creative teams, it's hard to establish long-terms relationships. Friendships also sometimes get ignored for the drama of who is sleeping with who soap opera aspect of the X-Men, when friendship used to be a much stronger focus in the franchise. Another thing CC did right, even if Rogue in particular was usually isolated in the 80s from it.
And yes, as much as I appreciate team Muscle!Rogue, her most interesting ability has always been her absorption.
Now that Rogue will be in the main book by Duggan and Larraz, I hope she finally gets to ask Xavier and Magneto why hasn't her other mother been brought back from death. Her relationship with Destiny has always been lovely, it's odd to have just Mystique asking for Irene's return.
That is true. Though I feel we don't see a lot of requests which should of been important to ask ie James asking about John. (which iirc was anti-climatic was revealed to be revived and with no reunion on panel for them)
Static Pulse: That's why I like you. You're like four degrees away from being a William Gibson protagonist.

Yep, at least one artist in recent memory remembered she got her powers from Wonder Man.
But does she still have to be careful of her long she is in contact with another?
What about needing to be all covered up, lest the skin-to-skin trigger the transfer? Or is that the control Rogue now has?
