Name: Anna Marie
Alias: Rogue
Powers: Rogue can duplicate others' memories and powers with a touch; this usually incapacitates her victim. She has no control over this power, which activates automatically with skin-on-skin contact. Since absorbing Gambit, she can charge inorganic matter and make it explode. Trained in hand-to-hand combat, she has absorbed Gambit's acrobatic and throwing skills.
Bio:Rogue has no memory of her biological parents. Instead, she grew up with her extended family in the vicinity of Caldecott County, a fictional county in Mississippi. During that time, she befriended Cody Robbins. When Cody impulsively kissed her, Rogue's mutant powers emerged for the first time. Upon skin-to-skin contact, Rogue fully absorbed Cody's consciousness, memories, strengths, and weaknesses. Cody fell into a coma from which he never awoke. Rogue was so confused and overwhelmed by the experience that she too collapsed. The two were found days later by a search group comprised of locals. Rogue, now revealed as a mutant, fled her home community, having earned the name "Rogue" because of the threat the community believed her to represent. The shape-shifting mutant Mystique discovered Rogue living in a remote, wooded area wielding a shotgun. Mystique sought Rogue on the recommendation of Destiny, a clairvoyant psychic who foresaw Rogue as important. Mystique soon became Rogue's unofficial foster mother.
Mystique and Destiny, both professional criminals, raised Rogue for close to a decade and trained her to be a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Rogue fought alongside the Brotherhood against many superheroes, including the X-Men, Rom, Dazzler and the Avengers and was a devastating enemy to them all.
Rogue has never been able to control her absorption power; any skin-to-skin contact activates it. Rogue sometimes retains residual memories of the people she touches. But many of these memories never leave her, and after touching many people it began to put a strain on her mind. She stayed with the brotherhood for a long time, that was until she touched mystique and discovered the truth, that she was raised not because they cared for her, but because they wanted the use of her powers.
Desperate, she turned to Professor Charles Xavier and the X-Men. Xavier's charity towards all mutants led him to welcome her into his home, regardless of his team having previously fought Rogue and in spite of the X-Men's own strong disagreements. He psychically examined her and invited her to join the X-Men and live at the mansion.
Her initial months with the team were rough and some of the team even threatened to leave if she was allowed to stay, but Professor Xavier reminded them of their ideals as X-Men and they gave her a chance. She first earned Wolverine's trust by saving the life of his fiancée and over time eventually earned the respect of all the X-Men and became a valued, trusted member of the team.
