@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh just because some movies are good, doesn't mean others are, also, they killed his character off before he got the chance to be a character so stop defending it and admit they did his character dirty
GKING0906 Mid '80's to mid '90's Rogue, then. As soon as the first film launched and the awful X-Treme X-Men took over her story in the comics, she never recovered.
I really just loved her super curly 80's hairstyle. Think it suited her far better than any other design they've had for her over the years even if it seems a little out of date.
Im Going To Roast You Out Of Existence, Rogue is emo. She just knows how to hide it. And plenty of Marvel characters are emo. Iron Man was the most emo of all emos, since he was actually thinking about suicide long time ago, in the 80's.
Well that's true. But that would out of her character especially when you read what Xavier said to her. When she wanted to join X men Xavier said that he can help with control of her powers and mind (she had multiple personalities disorder during her first run) if she will prove that she is worthy. He lied. And she was trying hard to prove that she is worthy, because she didn't believe that she is. She didn't asked because she believed that someday Xavier will help her. She used few different devices to stop her powers.
Marcin Budziński Actually he didn't. Xavier is the one that helped her finally get a handle on her powers. And in fact Xavier even pointed out that he never really understood what the true cause of her problem really was, until together they found it.
That's so sad my Babygirl has been through so much. She kills her first boyfriend. Her Father dies trying ti save her. She caught by some losers and sexually abused. Professor X blocks her mind and limits her powers. She has earn X-Men trust. gets her own team and kicks butt. Dies , comes back to life. Get her full powers. Trains under Storm. And kills a Witch. Crazy...
I loved XMEN. LOved Rogue, her southern belle accent was sexy! Sexy character overall and has a tragic and often lonley back story. I loved Gambit too tho, that cool creole accent and confidence and just being yourself is why i think Rogue gravitated towards him. Feeling like an outsider myself I felt like one of the Xmen. BUt, Couldnt wait to wake up and watch the cartoon on saturday Mornings. My favorite line I still remember from Wolverine was when Blob (if I remember correctly, or it could have been Juggernaut) said " Eat concrete Wolverine" and smashes him down on it only for him to reply "Needs more salt!"
Rogue was always my favorite. As a kid I used to pretend to be her and my other friends never blinked an eye haha! Wish they had a movie for her, she’s such an interesting character, her strength and powers balanced with her vulnerability and brokenness.
EXACTLY. There are many female characters super-strength & flight, but Rogue's personality & vulnerability made that particular special because SHE possessed them. I was SO happy when they gave her those powers back through the Wonderman character. P.S. --- I used 2 pretend I was her too. Heck. I STILL do 😉!!
What people don't realise is that what people liked about Rogue was the best parts of a dominating Carol Danvers , and the soft ,shy, but also trickster nature of Rogue and by combining the best qualities of Police officer Danvers with the thief like character of Rogue you have one very deep character with two sides on the same coin making for a very good fleshed out character.
Classic '90's Rogue from the books AND tv show are both my favorites.Especially the voice of the cartoon version,thats the voice I hear(like when you guys read about Penguins,you hear Morgan Freeman's voice,you know you do)when reading an X Men issue with her in it.
So much more interesting than Wonder Woman. Who wants to hear about a warrior princess and her perfect life? Rogue started off with nothing (like most of us) and her life went downhill from there.
Yeah, let me stop you right there. While Rogue is one of my favorite X-Men period. Don't start taking the piss on Wonder Woman. Especially saying she had a perfect life. The entire point of WW is that she lived in a basic utopia yes, but the moment she leaves it she's dedicated to helping every person she meets. She gets a day job, she takes in a culture that couldn't be farther from her own, and she even has to eventually accept the failures of her own culture. Wonder Woman is great when she's being written well. She however just doesn't get much consistency, because too many writers just don't get her at all and they just want to make her Superman's girlfriend.
I grew up with super strength and flying Rogue, that talked shit and very flirtatious . The movies and modern cartoons have reduced her to some type of over emotional leech with no type of fight in her. 🗣GIVE ME MY ROGUE BACK!!
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh And to me you're a troll fighting for my attention with empty threats. I simply said you were not going to be an asshole under my comment. Now if you cannot comprehend that then you can easily be blocked😊
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh Yeah but super strength and flight were associated with Rogue just as much as adamantium is associated with Wolverine. Bring it back.
Yo but.. no one noticed that in her debut along Mystique she was like 40 years old? And then when she became a good guy she lost like 20 of those years?
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁
I hated that in the movies we never got to see her gain her super powers from Ms.Marvel & they never brought in Gambit. Seeing Rogue with Bobby I was like WTF? & seeing him with Kitty Bobby was player what made Rogue's character a disappointment was that she took the cure so that she could be with Bobby. Although seeing that Magneto's powers were returning at the end of the movie made me think that Rogue's abilities will return as well the so called cure was a temporary fix.
There was no Ms Marvel in that story so there's no one to steal from, if a character being cool/useful/powerful is so heavily reliant on another external character than maybe that character isn't all that great/powerful to begin with, didn't watch much of the cartoons so perhaps I lack the nostalgia people carry for Rogue
The MCU needs to make her justice and more badass looking, with the comic accurate design, the big hair, the Southern accent, and the sense of humor, and the flight too, i want to see her flying in the sky like in the animated series
Rogue has always been my favorite. When I was old enough to start buying comics I bought xtreme xmen, I was so disappointed. Before that my primary source of info had been fanmade websites, detailed character bios, online chat rooms (in the beginning of the Internet haha) and sitting in Barnes and nobles. This is a good video, however I wish it had been longer but I understand why it's not
For the longest time this question has lingered in my mind, why can't Professor X or any of the brilliant brains of the Marvel Universe give Rogue a power inhibitor to enable her to touch and live normally? She can switch the inhibitor on if she wants to access her powers. I know this type of device has already existed why can't the X-men refined it to make it. Rogue character can then be explored in a different level.
Already happened in the comics. (This is very spoiler heavy). She wore one when her powers evolved further to absorbing the powers & life force of people from a distance without even touching them. It was exacerbated in the Mojoverse when she kept accidently killing Gambit over & over again. She eventually learned to control her power. She is now happily married to Gambit & touches him all the time.
Alright folks, I'll do a resume for you: 1. Rogue was a mutant orphan runaway with absorbtion powers. She can absorbs the minds of people and powers of other mutants. Mystique took her under his wing where she joined the Evil mutant group where they showed how how to be ruthless. 2. In a fight with blonde super-hero Ms. Marvel (you will see her on the big screen as Captain Marvel), Rogue goes nuts and absorbs a little too much, making Marvel a lifeless zombie of sort. But by doing that Rogue keeps Ms. Marvel's powers forever(which is super-strenght, flight and having a "6th sense"). 3. But after a while, Rogue realise her mistakes and since she is going nuts by absorbing all these minds over time, esp. Carol Danvers/Marvel, she seeks the X-Men help and Prof X gives it to her. 4. Ms. Marvel over time regains her powers and mind and goes to the X-Men and beat the shit out of Rogueé 5. Then Ms. Marvel is bombared by cosmic rays from the aliens Kree and she becomes pure energy, gaining new powers and is renamed "Binary" and go into space for adventures where she joins the Star Jammers a group of space pirates. 6. Rogue meanwhile becomes a full-fledge X-Man and becomes popular for being badass and with a cocky tomboyish southern attitude. The whole gimmick of the mix of her absorbtion powers and strenth and flght is awesome. In a story the X-Men fights The Fantastic Four and the Thing is fighting and she quickly grabs him in flight gives him a kiss, and she become a She-Thing of sort in flight. Her whole attitude too where she flies and kicksass with her strenght is great. 7. A cosmic sorceress gives the X-Men talisman. When you throw this talisman on the ground, it opens a portal and if you enter it, it will change you, give you another life and make your dreams' come true. Well, in a battle the X-Men were in trouble fighting a super-sentinel of sort. So someone threw the talisman on the ground maybe as something to change the tide so to speak. Rogue pushed the robot sentinel into it but he also grabbed her and they both went through it. What it did was this: it took away everything that was Ms. Marvel inside of Rogue. and creating another being identical to the original Ms. Marvel with Rogue not her strenght/flight powers anymore. But that new Ms. Marvel-like being since she had soul, was easily prey to a psychic demon that corrupted her and she fought Rogue where that creature tried to corrupt Rogue where they both fighting and trying to absorb each other. Then boom that false Ms. Marvel her chest exploded. Somebody had killed, The panel revealed: It was Magneto! The X-Men's Greatest villain! He saved Rogue and they became lovers lived together on a place called "Savage Land". Rogue was supposed to only have absorbtion powers from now on but while fighting the fake Carol, she absorbed her powers back somehow. Just not her mind/memory that gave her so much trouble in the past.
I never really understood Rogue or her powers until now, however, based on the earlier movies, I could tell that she had potential that the films weren't tapping into. Thanks for this video.
I love the 90's character of Rogue so much! She was this uber sexy, uber beautiful, bold, strong southern bell. Then b/c Anna Paquin played Rogue who looks basic af, the more recent comics now depict Rogue in Anna's image - basic almost like a plain flat chested boy in a green cloak. She even seems as passive aggressive and moody as Anna, whereas the 90's Rogue was ready to throw down to get her point across. It's an f'n shame, one of the most notable female characters in the marvel universe , had her image DESTROYED and I feel that lackluster performance by that homely Anna Paquin is in large part to blame. Bring the "real Rogue" back!!!!
@@Leonard_Wilson But they do foreshadow her gaining those abilities on their final episode, when Charlie's was talking about what he saw of the future.
I knew the old stuff like Mystique was her adoptive mother but man all the rest of that info...I had no idea! WOW! Thanks! SHe is still one of my top favorites...outside of WONDER WOMAN of course! :D
Lots of placement issues when it comes to rogue's character.She has a story, she has an interesting power with great potential, but they still had a lack of respect for her image and the proper placement of her character.Her 90s image was the best one, to be honest.
I wish more people can beat the sh*t out of cap. When all is said and done, his powers are just C+ grade super strength. He should struggle specifically with anyone with superior strength and durability. Cap's unique value should be in how he can inspire, organize, and lead a crap ton of heroes.
Right but the X men blue & gold team by Claremont & Jim Lee is the pinnacle of what the X men were to me I really wish they could bring that to the big screen properly.
100% agree. Anna Paquin is a talented actress, but the writing and direction she worked under in the X-Men movies kept her character's capabilities an ocean below her abilities in the comics. And a movie with Mystique in her blue form for at least 60% of her appearance, with another actress instead of JLaw.
I wish Rogue played a bigger role in the modern MAIN X-Men story. She just doesnt seem like she used to be in the 90s and early 2000s. I hope she comes up. Love me some Rogue.
Bryan Singer totally ruined Rogue’s character in the movies turning her into a weak pathetic person as well as Storm. Why he was asked to return for future movies is beyond me.
Thanks for the great episode! Would you consider providing a text list all the comics referenced in this and perhaps all your episodes? Your references in combination with a Marvel Unlimited subscription would be awesome!
I like how in the comics and 90's cartoons she was all "Ahm nigh invulnerable!!" Then she gets ko'ed for the duration by something that Cyclops and Storm would shake off and continue to fight through. That crap was hilarious.
Back when I was 11 years old I picked up Avengers and was introduced to Rogue, I had a dream that she would become the greatest female superhero, then woke up in the middle of the night, looking at the ceiling, I saw Rogue as the greatest female character in Marvel and DC history! That was a devine premonition! It was also in the tarot cards! The only flaw was sticking her with Gambit who volentarily assisted in killing thousands of mutants living in the New York subways! If Rogue finds out about that, it's the big d as in divorce which she needs to continue reaching that fame I forsaw in the cards and a devine premontion! Gambit is just an accessory latching off of Rogues fame! There's a male supehero with that same popularity as the greatest male character in all of comics and here's a hint "it defenately isn't Gambit " and it's a Marvel character! Put him and Rogue together and Ican garentee Marvel will skyrocket through the industry! Rogue has come from nothing and has built and earned all the love and all the greatness coming her way, she doesn't need Gambit she can reach as high as she want by herself or at least marry Wonderman, he's my favorite Avenger, Rogue shares his powers picture Mr,/ Mrs. Wonderful, or Mr./ Mrs. Marvelous!That comic and Avengers along with X-men would have greatness to even make the Justice League look dumb!
So, rouge in full control of her powers is omega level. Gambit in full control of his powers is omega level. Fuck hope summers. What would their child become?!! 🤯
Supposedly not - it was supposed to be a side effect of her power. Obviously it went from both sides to a single skunk stripe because the original look made her look middle aged rather than someone with two punk stripes in their hair... The later changes have all just been artistic preference, I believe. Imo, it looked best at its punkest, which I believe would be the X-Men Alpha Flight crossover series (where she got to kiss a man without worrying about her power, shame he was openly gay!) In the much later flashbacks to her youth, she seems to already have the two tone hair, which is a bit weird, but at the quality of those stories, I doubt anyone could be bothered about whether she should have had the white or not.
Rogue is definitely my favorite female character from the Marvel Universe and especially from the X-Men story. But I'm talking about the character Rogue as she is in the comics and the 1992 animated series, not what they made of her in the movies and in the following animated adaptations. In the subsequent animated adaptations they just made a movie copy out of her... Which was the lamest thing they could've done.
Thank you! Thank you!!!! Thank you so much! I requested this a while back and you obliged now!!!!!! Thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God! I'm gonna cry you're amazing dude!!!! 😩🙌
Wow, that sexual assault was terrible. I mean, it would be bad for any woman character, but Rogue in particular because not only was that likely the loss of her virginity, but it was also the only experience she'd had of sex period.
Cool video. Rogue is my favorite Marvel character (DOOM! is a close second), almost soleley for Uncanny 182. I was probably too young to really get it, but I remember just thinking that it was really cool, really interesting. It certainly stuck with me. I'm always hoping she'll get a good creative team on whatever book she's in and get the popularity needed for the movies to treat her right.
I read all the X-men comics back in Rogue's heyday, and she was an awesome character. In the movies she is less than a shadow of what she was in the comics.
Yeah, it would be fun to see Rogue go all "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" on some folks. I wish they'd develop a video game around just her....wouldn't it be cool to knock off a bunch of other supers (villains and/or heroes) and go around imposing your will in an open-world game? I'd play that.
One day it be nice if they made a Gambit or Rogue movie ( if not both), and do it justice. With disney at the helm these days im not betting on it, but u never know
Rogue in the 90's Xmen cartoon was my favorite version.
Yess
The only real one 😭 She was a badass, real, raw!
Mine too
And She Thicc!
X men evolution was my favorite as well
Always thought Rogue was one of the most interesting and underused characters in X-men along with Darwin.
what they did to Darwin on that movie was just cruel

There should be a Rogue movie. She is a treasure.
I agree. I'd definitely like to see one....showing her move from misguided villain to genuine hero (with a little bit of an edge to her).
and you could do it over a number of movies to show the part and the flow of events. The fear of mutants reignited by the events of infinity wars.
Rogue is bae
Yep
Amen.
The movies made Rogue into such a crappy useless character.
The movies made everyone but Wolverine crappy useless characters.
Charles Morton I know. Rogue couldn't even fly and had the confidence of a turd.

The Average TH-cam User Well that makes sense, Bobby is sexy.
+Ксения Ковалевская Well Rogue can do better. Have you seen her dude?
To me, that Carol Danvers/Siege Perilous/Savage Land arc was one of Rogue's most epic storylines. And Jim Lee cemented her iconic look for the 90's.
90's Rogue was best Rogue.
Savage land rogue is the best rogue
GKING0906 Mid '80's to mid '90's Rogue, then. As soon as the first film launched and the awful X-Treme X-Men took over her story in the comics, she never recovered.
80s Rogue is better
Gotta agree with you. As awesome, and iconic, as 90's Rogue is with most 80's Rogue is more coompelling.
I really just loved her super curly 80's hairstyle. Think it suited her far better than any other design they've had for her over the years even if it seems a little out of date.
Bryan Singer made her into a weak cry baby...
But David hayter wrote the script!
he made her emo
Because he gave her Jubilee's personality.
Im Going To Roast You Out Of Existence, Rogue is emo. She just knows how to hide it. And plenty of Marvel characters are emo. Iron Man was the most emo of all emos, since he was actually thinking about suicide long time ago, in the 80's.
They make her into early 90' Jubilee, and even comics Jubilee is cooler now
Rogue and Gambit will always be my favorite 90s couple
The best!
Frynker Murr well yes, they are great couple of the 90’s. But she cannot hug him or kiss because she can kill him
@@ewno486 not true she eventually learns how to control her powers and they have a child together
And oops yah forgot to add that
Idk man brad and Angelina 🙊🔥
in Rogue's 30+ years of existence, she has never once(as far as I know) asked Beast, Forge, Tony Stark or Reed Richard to make her a inhibitor collar?
Or some type of wearable thing that only she could control
*****
exactly, I'm sure they can probably make one that looks like a watch
I remember her and Forge talking about it once. But Genosha, sort of left a bad taste in everyone's mouth when it comes to that sort of thing.
Well that's true. But that would out of her character especially when you read what Xavier said to her.

Rogue's sucha complex character with alot of potential, I hope she's giving screen time when The X-Men are introduce to the MCU
Alright folks, I'll do a resume for you:
1. Rogue was a mutant orphan runaway with absorbtion powers. She can absorbs the minds of people and powers of other mutants. Mystique took her under his wing where she joined the Evil mutant group where they showed how how to be ruthless.

But by doing that Rogue keeps Ms. Marvel's powers forever(which is super-strenght, flight and having a "6th sense").
3. But after a while, Rogue realise her mistakes and since she is going nuts by absorbing all these minds over time, esp. Carol Danvers/Marvel, she seeks the X-Men help and Prof X gives it to her.
4. Ms. Marvel over time regains her powers and mind and goes to the X-Men and beat the shit out of Rogueé
5. Then Ms. Marvel is bombared by cosmic rays from the aliens Kree and she becomes pure energy, gaining new powers and is renamed "Binary" and go into space for adventures where she joins the Star Jammers a group of space pirates.
6. Rogue meanwhile becomes a full-fledge X-Man and becomes popular for being badass and with a cocky tomboyish southern attitude. The whole gimmick of the mix of her absorbtion powers and strenth and flght is awesome. In a story the X-Men fights The Fantastic Four and the Thing is fighting and she quickly grabs him in flight gives him a kiss, and she become a She-Thing of sort in flight. Her whole attitude too where she flies and kicksass with her strenght is great.
7. A cosmic sorceress gives the X-Men talisman. When you throw this talisman on the ground, it opens a portal and if you enter it, it will change you, give you another life and make your dreams' come true. Well, in a battle the X-Men were in trouble fighting a super-sentinel of sort. So someone threw the talisman on the ground maybe as something to change the tide so to speak. Rogue pushed the robot sentinel into it but he also grabbed her and they both went through it.
What it did was this: it took away everything that was Ms. Marvel inside of Rogue. and creating another being identical to the original Ms. Marvel with Rogue not her strenght/flight powers anymore. But that new Ms. Marvel-like being since she had soul, was easily prey to a psychic demon that corrupted her and she fought Rogue where that creature tried to corrupt Rogue where they both fighting and trying to absorb each other. Then boom that false Ms. Marvel her chest exploded. Somebody had killed, The panel revealed: It was Magneto! The X-Men's Greatest villain! He saved Rogue and they became lovers lived together on a place called "Savage Land". Rogue was supposed to only have absorbtion powers from now on but while fighting the fake Carol, she absorbed her powers back somehow. Just not her mind/memory that gave her so much trouble in the past.
Very well done Mr Johnny Skin walker,I applaud you!
I miss the 90s Rogue. She's so boring now.
You do an awesome job, man. I love what you do and how you do it.
90's Rogue will always be my favorite has I grew up with the cartoon and comics of that time
I pray that Disney will do right by Rogue. I love Anna Paquin, but NO. We are yet to see a real Rogue on screen.
I never really understood Rogue or her powers until now, however, based on the earlier movies, I could tell that she had potential that the films weren't tapping into. Thanks for this video.
I love the 90's character of Rogue so much! She was this uber sexy, uber beautiful, bold, strong southern bell. Then b/c Anna Paquin played Rogue who looks basic af, the more recent comics now depict Rogue in Anna's image - basic almost like a plain flat chested boy in a green cloak. She even seems as passive aggressive and moody as Anna, whereas the 90's Rogue was ready to throw down to get her point across. It's an f'n shame, one of the most notable female characters in the marvel universe , had her image DESTROYED and I feel that lackluster performance by that homely Anna Paquin is in large part to blame. Bring the "real Rogue" back!!!!
Those movies ruined nearly all of the X-Men characters with the director's "vision".
I couldn't agree more. Even in X-men Evolution, they made Rogue this bitchy goth with no superhuman strength or ability to fly
@@Leonard_Wilson But they do foreshadow her gaining those abilities on their final episode, when Charlie's was talking about what he saw of the future.
I knew the old stuff like Mystique was her adoptive mother but man all the rest of that info...I had no idea! WOW! Thanks! SHe is still one of my top favorites...outside of WONDER WOMAN of course! :D
Lots of placement issues when it comes to rogue's character.She has a story, she has an interesting power with great potential, but they still had a lack of respect for her image and the proper placement of her character.Her 90s image was the best one, to be honest.
I wonder if an unrestrained Rogue could be an Omega level Mutant?!?!
That Rogue and Gambit short series was amazing. Y'all should get the issues if you haven't already!
It’s a pity the movies diluted the character so badly. She was badass in the earlier comics and the 90s cartoon.
I love how she beat captain America.
Why can't the films mix in like this. I'd love to see a new rogue xx
I wish more people can beat the sh*t out of cap. When all is said and done, his powers are just C+ grade super strength. He should struggle specifically with anyone with superior strength and durability. Cap's unique value should be in how he can inspire, organize, and lead a crap ton of heroes.
Evil Rogue through 90s Rogue was tops.
Rogue was only 'evil' in the 80s
@@FC26693 my statement was, "Evil Rogue (80s) through 90s Rogue was the best." So I was giving that as a starting point.

The X-men movie that needs to be made is an X-men movie about the team in this thumbnail to be exact.
fox doesn't believe that they can JUST tell an xmen story. same for DC. maybe I just want a simple fun story
Right but the X men blue & gold team by Claremont & Jim Lee is the pinnacle of what the X men were to me I really wish they could bring that to the big screen properly.
100% agree. Anna Paquin is a talented actress, but the writing and direction she worked under in the X-Men movies kept her character's capabilities an ocean below her abilities in the comics. And a movie with Mystique in her blue form for at least 60% of her appearance, with another actress instead of JLaw.
I like this video! This is a good description of the X-Men Character named Rogue! Great video!
I wish Rogue played a bigger role in the modern MAIN X-Men story. She just doesnt seem like she used to be in the 90s and early 2000s. I hope she comes up. Love me some Rogue.
I've been following your channel since nearly the beginning specifically for this episode
Someone take away my internet...I can't stop listening to this guy!
These videos are a pretty good substitute for reading every comic book ever
Bryan Singer totally ruined Rogue’s character in the movies turning her into a weak pathetic person as well as Storm. Why he was asked to return for future movies is beyond me.
Thanks for the great episode! Would you consider providing a text list all the comics referenced in this and perhaps all your episodes? Your references in combination with a Marvel Unlimited subscription would be awesome!
Jim Lee's Rogue and Psylocke FTW...
Finally the answer to the question "How to interduce the X-Men into the MCU?".....Rouge's origin story!
TAS voice actor of Rogue is a part of the Canadian Parliament now btw.
".. Rouge suffered sexual assault by a team of human prison guards"
HOW? How is that even physically possible?
I mean, how are they still alive?
Yeah.. I asked myself that question to.
I think the writer just wanted to make a creepy scene... cause yeah that makes no sense.
Your work is loved. Stay strong brother.
Rogue needs her own film like wolverine shot to fame
Rogues storyline is the way to introduce X-Men into the MCU
@Giovanni Balbosa-Mc Intosh what’s a better idea
thank you for doing these videos please dont stop, keep going.
90s adaptation of Rogue from 1992 animated series is the best
It will be a great pleasure to see and hear a Iceman explanation. Thank you!
Loved loved loved this video thank you!!! Rogue has always been my favorite X-men.
I like how in the comics and 90's cartoons she was all "Ahm nigh invulnerable!!" Then she gets ko'ed for the duration by something that Cyclops and Storm would shake off and continue to fight through. That crap was hilarious.
Great video as always, keep up the great work
This was super great man! Rogue and Gambit where always my favorite xmen
I love Rogue she's my favorite character of any comic book
Back when I was 11 years old I picked up Avengers and was introduced to Rogue, I had a dream that she would become the greatest female superhero, then woke up in the middle of the night, looking at the ceiling, I saw Rogue as the greatest female character in Marvel and DC history! That was a devine premonition! It was also in the tarot cards! The only flaw was sticking her with Gambit who volentarily assisted in killing thousands of mutants living in the New York subways! If Rogue finds out about that, it's the big d as in divorce which she needs to continue reaching that fame I forsaw in the cards and a devine premontion! Gambit is just an accessory latching off of Rogues fame! There's a male supehero with that same popularity as the greatest male character in all of comics and here's a hint "it defenately isn't Gambit " and it's a Marvel character! Put him and Rogue together and Ican garentee Marvel will skyrocket through the industry! Rogue has come from nothing and has built and earned all the love and all the greatness coming her way, she doesn't need Gambit she can reach as high as she want by herself or at least marry Wonderman, he's my favorite Avenger, Rogue shares his powers picture Mr,/ Mrs. Wonderful, or Mr./ Mrs. Marvelous!That comic and Avengers along with X-men would have greatness to even make the Justice League look dumb!
You know how to rock a comic book character's history. This is so cool.
She needs to be in Captain marvel2
So, rouge in full control of her powers is omega level. Gambit in full control of his powers is omega level. Fuck hope summers. What would their child become?!! 🤯
Anyone notice how her white hair went from both sides to right down the middle to covering the complete top of her head?
thats because she chose to dye her hair like this,,
She also looked more mature in the early comics and younger as they progressed
Supposedly not - it was supposed to be a side effect of her power. Obviously it went from both sides to a single skunk stripe because the original look made her look middle aged rather than someone with two punk stripes in their hair...
The later changes have all just been artistic preference, I believe. Imo, it looked best at its punkest, which I believe would be the X-Men Alpha Flight crossover series (where she got to kiss a man without worrying about her power, shame he was openly gay!)
In the much later flashbacks to her youth, she seems to already have the two tone hair, which is a bit weird, but at the quality of those stories, I doubt anyone could be bothered about whether she should have had the white or not.
Rogue is my X-Men character.
Rogue is my all-time favorite X-Men character. I hope Foxnext puts her in Marvel Strike Force mobile game.
All gambit has to do is have leech hide under the bed...
Rogue is definitely my favorite female character from the Marvel Universe and especially from the X-Men story. But I'm talking about the character Rogue as she is in the comics and the 1992 animated series, not what they made of her in the movies and in the following animated adaptations. In the subsequent animated adaptations they just made a movie copy out of her... Which was the lamest thing they could've done.
Thank you! Thank you!!!! Thank you so much! I requested this a while back and you obliged now!!!!!! Thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God! I'm gonna cry you're amazing dude!!!! 😩🙌
Thank you for doing this video. I love these!!
Wow, that sexual assault was terrible. I mean, it would be bad for any woman character, but Rogue in particular because not only was that likely the loss of her virginity, but it was also the only experience she'd had of sex period.
While she did suffer assault, later panels state it wasn't rape.
Your videos are awesome all the time. keep em coming
All your videos are just great man.
Not a bad character but that southern bell spin. -Chef's kiss-
Rogue is pretty cool. Hate to say I never checked out any X-Men stuff...
Cool series! Keep them coming
just saw Avalanche for the first time in a panel in like 20 years
another reason I love this channel
Thank toy Rob. Been waiting for this video.
Cool video. Rogue is my favorite Marvel character (DOOM! is a close second), almost soleley for Uncanny 182. I was probably too young to really get it, but I remember just thinking that it was really cool, really interesting. It certainly stuck with me. I'm always hoping she'll get a good creative team on whatever book she's in and get the popularity needed for the movies to treat her right.
I read all the X-men comics back in Rogue's heyday, and she was an awesome character. In the movies she is less than a shadow of what she was in the comics.
My childhood crush. 😍 I want Omega level Rouge. Gloves off, restrictions off, she can really hurt or kill some heros.
Yeah, it would be fun to see Rogue go all "Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" on some folks. I wish they'd develop a video game around just her....wouldn't it be cool to knock off a bunch of other supers (villains and/or heroes) and go around imposing your will in an open-world game? I'd play that.
I was always curious what it would take to stop an evil rogue.
Rogue deserves a redemption on the big screen but keep the same actress Anna is perfect
Maybe a part 2? Awesome video!
Rob you are an all powerful cosmic entity! Love everything you post! happy 4th!
Wow, fantastic video. Thanks a lot!
Super helpful, totally worth watching
One day it be nice if they made a Gambit or Rogue movie ( if not both), and do it justice. With disney at the helm these days im not betting on it, but u never know
