The Sassy Southern Brawler ROGUE Appreciation

[Calintz]

Whoever he is he has a hokey name, almost as bad as 'wonder man'

no NOTHING is worst than STRONG GUY. LOL

[RLAAMJR.]

Who is that?????

Stronger than all Avengers members combined.

In terms of strength, Wonder Man is definitely in or near the same league as those two.

Oh, he'll be near Thor and Hulk's strength when he gets paid attention too. So will Captain Marvel. That's not what we are talking about.

How about Gladiator?

[DurararaFTW]

I'd be down with Rogue absorbing Gladiator's strength. His strength is just as variable as any, but at least there's a in-universe reason for it. And he's an X-character.

I prefer Rogue accidentally and permanently absorbing Gladiator's flight and superstrength only. We can include the mohawk if Rogue fans want it.

Wonder-Man is never gonna be on the same level as Hulk or Thor. Maybe Remender sees it that way, but it is surely not the norm. And Simon's still somewhere, when a writer wants to bring him back Rogue'll have to be dragged into that (probably Avengers) story now. no thank you.

Going back to the Jim Shooter day's of the late 1970's, it's been held that Simon was just a tad short of Thor in the strength department...

If Rogue did the mohawk look I wonder what it would like. Would it be the solid white or just the front strands white.

Wonder Man since the 80s has been shown at Thor and Hulk level strength. He is class 100th Strength. So Rogue is class 100 too now that she has Wonder Man's ionic powers. There's no point in giving her anyone else's powers at this point. Let her keep the Wonder Man ionic powers.

I think that since Simon is an ionic being and that energy can't destroyed he will come back when he has collected enough energy to reform himself.
So I think that Rogue will be able to keep the powers she got from him.

That was then. He's not in the movies so he'll never be the Avengers go-to heavy hitter like Thor or Hulk. And in this day and age, the next heavyhitters after those two and Ironman is gonna be women. Wonderman will not be prominent, and as such not even be seen as secondbest or even thirdbest.

She would be awesome with the mohawk hair.

No one ever said anything about his prominence or popularity, we are simply talking about his physical capabilities.

Sorry I took a long time to replay, I had to do actual research for this one. I am super sorry if this is super long.

From what I actually gathered Rogue's white streak has a bit of interesting continuity due to artists creating new looks for her. Originally when she was part of the Brotherhood. Rogue had 2 streaks of white hair on the side.
As shown here in her first appearance.

Later on after joining the X-Men her hairstyle changed from two streaks, into a single one. This was in Uncanny X-Men #172

No explanation is given as to how she changed her hair. it just happened like Storm going channeling her Mr.T. At least that was given a reason why.

Later on the way her hair streak was drawn changed as she started sporting the all famous skunk stripe that we all love.
You see the beginnings of it here.

Then starting the late 90's her white streak began to fade away and only appeared in her bangs as shown here

After this you started getting the 2 white streaks on her forehead.

From what I gathered one or two writers make a mention of Rogue's continuity changing white streak(s). In Rogues third solo series #10 the writer gives an explanation that rogue dyed her hair and adding the white streaks in order for her to look older which explains a lot considering retcon flashbacks to Rogues childhood show the famous rendition of the white streak during the 90's.

I hope this clarified the changes made to Rogue's hair from creative point of view to in canon. So... Do you have anymore questions?

Thanks a lot. This really help a lot.
