Avengers Annual #10 1981
First appearance of Rogue in
"By My Friends Betrayed!"
In San Francisco Spider-Woman saves a female who falls from the Golden Gate Bridge.
She realizes the woman is unconscious, so someone must have thrown her off the bridge.
Her glider wings aren't enough to keep them both aloft
and eventually she has to swim to get them both ashore.

In a hospital the mystery woman is diagnosed
as physically great but mentally blank.
Police Lt Sabrina Morrel tells SW that her fingerprints match
Carol Danvers, missing from New York for 6 months.

Jessica Drew rings the X-Mansion to talk to Prof X,
hoping that he can find out what's wrong with Carol's mind.
The X-Men are in the middle of repairing the Danger Room damaged
during Kitty Pryde's fight with a N'Garai demon in Uncanny X-Men #143.
Storm flies Charles Xavier to California in the X-Men's Blackbird to scan Carol's mind.
While he's examining the patient, Lt Morrel tells
Spider-Woman that Ms Danvers' parents are on their way.
But also that Mrs Danvers suggested they contact the Avengers, and mention Ms Marvel.
Prof X mentally tells Jessica that Carol's mind was emptied by an assailant.
He has an image and a name - Rogue.

In New York's Central Park, Rogue has just knocked Captain America
unconscious, using the powers and knowledge of Ms Marvel.
She now kisses him, and we learn that she copies powers by skin contact.
But she's careful this time.
Last night with Ms Marvel she went too far and permanently transferred
the powers and memories leaving Carol Danvers' mind empty.

In Avengers Mansion Beast, Scarlet Witch, Vision and Wonder Man with permanent guest Jocasta and visiting
Hawkeye are being served tea and cake by butler Jarvis when Cap's body is thrown in through a window.
Iron Man wasn't expected today but the Avengers send him a priority alert. Tony Stark is upgrading his armour,
but he answers the call by vidphone software supplying the image and tone of the Golden Avenger.
Jarvis asks him to contact Dr Donald Blake to minister to the fallen Avenger.
Meanwhile Vision searched the grounds but found no-one.

Stark suits up as he calls Blake, and they agree to meet at the Mansion.
His secretary Mrs Arbogast calls to say that Janet Pym has come to see him.
Iron Man is happy to see Wasp and tells her about Cap's state. He suggests she
call in her husband Yellowjacket as well while they head for the Mansion.
But 'Wasp' immobilises his armour with an inhibitor field generator.
She reveals herself as Mystique, leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
We never learn where the real Wasp is during this issue.

Storm has flown Spider-Woman to New York. Jessica arrives at the Mansion and doesn't notice Rogue sneaking about. Thor arrives too
and transforms to Don Blake. And that's when Rogue KO's him and prepares to steal his mind. And that's when Spider-Woman stops her.

Rogue can't apply her touch to SW because Jessica's costume covers most of her skin. Blake recovers and switches back to Thor.
He grabs Rogue, but this allows her to touch his face with her bare hand. She now has his power.

Hawkeye, Vision and Wonder Man come out to investigate what's happening. Rogue shrugs off Spider-Woman's venom blast.
She uses Thor's body as a shield against Vision's attempt to do his hand-phased-through-the-chest trick, then decks him with 1 punch.
Wonder Man does a jet-assisted body slam into the villainess, but she just tries to absorb his powers too.

Except that his ionic nature makes her touch ineffective. So Rogue makes a strategic exit, flying by Ms Marvel power.

Thor is still out of it, but Spider-Woman, Hawkeye, Vision and Wonder Man join Scarlet Witch in the Avengers' meeting room.
Jessica Drew has deduced that Carol Danvers is Ms Marvel, who both disappeared at the same time.
But apparently Carol resurfaced in San Francisco 3 months ago where she's been keeping a low profile.

Wanda tells her the story of Avengers #197-200.
Carol suffered a mysterious pregnancy which came to term in a few days.
Her son rapidly grew up and named himself Marcus, son of Immortus.
He was born and lived in Limbo, but planned to escape from there by being reborn on Earth.
To that end he abducted Ms Marvel, seduced her and implanted his essence within her.
He then returned her to the moment he had taken her, with no memory of Limbo.

Hawkeye takes up the tale. Marcus' presence on Earth caused disruptions in time.
He expected this and quickly built a machine to put things right.
But the Avengers, especially Hawkeye, didn't trust him and Clint destroyed the machine.
This meant Marcus had to return to Limbo but Carol went with him, claiming to have fallen in love with him.

Beast and Jocasta join them. Beast has been looking after Cap and Thor.
He's compared their brain scans with 1 Spider-Woman has brought of Carol. T
he effects on Cap and Thor are much less and should wear off.
But Rogue has taken out 2 of the most powerful Avengers
and with Iron Man not responding they fear the worst there too.

Along with Ms Marvel's powers Rogue has taken on her unique Human/Kree energy signature,
which Beast is able to track. She's heading towards the supercriminal prison Ryker's Island.

Mystique and Rogue are in a hoverplane over the prison
and they drop Iron Man like a bomb onto its power generator.
The captive members' of the Brotherhood are ready and the disruption
in service allows Avalanche, Blob, Destiny and Pyro to escape.
They meet up with their comrades, but they are attacked by the assembled heroes from the Mansion.

Vision recognises them as the latest incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
from the Days Of Future Past story in Uncanny X-Men #141-142. Only Rogue is new.

Avalanche and Pyro send rock and flame against the good guys. Spider-Woman heads inside to find Iron Man.
Destiny uses her precog ability to warn her friend Mystique to stop this,
so Mystique grabs a gun and follows disguised as Nick Fury.
Irene Adler then directs the others' tactics, and a 1-2 from Pyro and Blob has Wonder Man lierally out of the picture.
Scarlet Witch is semi-conscious too.

Pyro disperses the smoke from Hawkeye's arrow that was supposed to mask Beast's attack on Blob.
But Hank McCoy just bounces off Fred Dukes to KO Pyro.
However Destiny had foreseen this and knew that Beast would land where a guard tower would fall on him
weakened by Wonder Man's exit trajectory.
Vision's hand-in-chest tactic only mildly irritates Blob, until Rogue knocks him down.

Only Hawkeye and Jocasta are still standing. Destiny warns Avalanche to stop Clint firing his next arrow,
but Barton is too quick for him. The screamer arrow temporarily blinds and deafens Blob,
but Rogue shakes it off even as Hawkeye is buried by an eruption of ground.
Irene is still worried about Iron Man, and sends Rogue to backup Mystique.

Spider-Woman has found Shellhead. Only his armour is paralysed
and he tells her to remove the inhibitor from his back.
But 'Nick Fury' arrives to warn them it might be booby-trapped.
However Tony Stark knows Fury is in London at a Nato security conference, so he suspects this is Mystique again.
SW's senses also warned her something wasn't right, and she attacks dodging Mystique's machine gun bullets.

Jessica takes time during the fight to notice that the real Mystique looks a lot like the X-Man Nightcrawler.
She fires a close-range venom blast, but her target disappears.
She then figures getting Iron Man back in action is the priority.
She removes the inhibitor and kickstarts the Golden Avenger's suit system with her bio-electric blast.

Rogue flies in as Mystique runs out, only to be met by IM's fist. She gives as good as she gets,
but feels Cap and Thor's powers fading leaving her with only Ms Marvel's permanent ones.
As a recovered Scarlet Witch casts a hex at Avalanche, Destiny and a recovering Pyro exploding a gas main,
Rogue tries to strangle Spider-Woman but IM shoots her with his repulsor rays.

Mystique is back in the hoverplane and picks Rogue up, leaving the others behind. Tony Stark recognizes the converti-plane
as a top-secret design and the inhibitor was a recent SHIELD invention. How is Mystique getting her hands on such things?
