Yep, Karma is definitely older than Rogue
Karma 19 years old in New Mutants #2, released December 28, 1982-
Rogue 18 years old in Uncanny X-Men #182, released March 13, 1984-
And yeah, you wouldn't be able to tell from how they are characterized, used in the comics, or by their physical appearances in the comics.
WOW!!! Check out this cosplayer who brought Lukas Werneck's Rogue redesign for the MCU to life: https://twitter.com/StefaniaSassano/...PP7_pnHHQ&s=19

I seriously want this as her new costume. It looks like a perfect combo of all her costume iterations in a way and just has a sophistication about it. And it looks awesome IRL. I love all the black on this.

Oh that look is FIRE. I enjoy the texture of the green portion too. She's looks terrific!
Also, X-Plain the X-Men has finally gotten to Uncanny #347-349:

I really enjoyed the coverage!
That is some good cosplay and a good look. A black bomber jacket like the drawer would look good, too.
ROGUE & GAMBIT #2 (OF 5)

X-MEN VERSUS AVENGERS WITH THE FATE OF KRAKOA AT STAKE!
The future of mutantkind rests on Rogue and Gambit’s shoulders! Granted a vision of Krakoa’s demise, Destiny knows the one way to save their paradise: Find Manifold and hide him away, somewhere so deep that no one, not even his allies on the Avengers, can find him. That…won’t sit well with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. The King of Wakanda comes for Marvel’s premier couple! But the Black Panther is just the first on a very long list of problems — and when someone else steals Manifold away, Rogue and Gambit find themselves in everyone’s crosshairs.

Thanks for sharing these @Jbenito!!!
Honestly this second issue solict has me feeling more excited for this series! Having Black Panther as a guest is far more high profile and also it's been a point of conjecture how Gambit's powers and Black Panther's suit will interact. Should make for a nice battle.
I'm also stoked that Rogue and Remy are being given something important to take on and something central to the overall Krakoa plot. This is just what we've been hoping and asking for!
Also these variants are absolutely giving me life! The kinetically charged pool ball! The motorcycle! The Las Vegas sign!!! (.... uhhhh do they know about my Romy week fanfic?!)
You know, cover art is frequently quite hyperbolic in nature and doesn't necessarily reflect the precise contents of the story inside. So I imagine that Rogue and Gambit will need to learn pretty early in their encounter with Black Panther that they'll need to change their usual tactics if they want to hold him off. I'd be quite surprised in fact if the writer wasn't aware of how his suit works ... I mean who hasn't at least seen the movies to understand the very basics? A decent writer will have done their homework.
Given how Gambit's powers work with manipulation of kinetic energy and Black Panther's suit is fueled by kinetic energy, this fight actually has the potential to be quite intriguing if the writer knows what she's doing. I'm crossing my fingers for that outcome.

Yeah, I am feeling more hopeful too. It sounds like an antics-fueled fun-fest. I’m on board.
G&R fic in Las Vegas….? I’m looking forward to reading it!
There is something odd about the main covers. It’s like a painting of an art installation that has been staged with store mannequins. If I stare at it too long, it begins to stare back…
Interesting there is an Avengers angle to this. Between this and Cap Marvel, we’ll nearly have a year of Gambit and Rogue adventures co-starring Avengers when this is done.
