Should Rogue's last name finally be revealed?

[Flameworthy]

Now that we know already know Rogue's first name (Anna Marie), do you think they should also reveal her last name too?

[Dr Manolis Dooplove]

didn't she have a full name in Xtreme Xmen? i think her last name is Smith

[lament]

Now that we know already know Rogue's first name (Anna Marie), do you think they should also reveal her last name too?

I have a thing for names, so yeah, I'd like to know her full name.

[Atom_basher]

id love for her last name to be Belle

Anna Marie Belle has such a ring

[Novaya Havoc]

It should be revealed as Marie D'Ancanto, as props to Brian Singer for doing what Claremont wouldn't do.

[drwho]

Whatever happend to that story in the cancelled rogue book where they were making inferences that she was related to some hillbilly guy for a brother?

[Zombienorthstar]

I always assumed that if it was revealed it was going to be something HUGE...when i was a kid i was convinced it was going to be Lensheer....(this was prior to them being all sexy together :D ) or Xavier or something...

[NewChad]

They may as well reveal it now.

There was mystery around the whole 'she has no name' thing, but now that we know HALF the answer, i see no reason not to know the rest.

[Titan76]

Wasn't Anna just a fake name she was using during the Xtreme issues? And Marie came from the movie so I refuse to believe its part of her real name.

[Nevets F]

In her ongoing series it was revealed her first name is Anna-Marie, last name was not revealed though.

[Affinity]

Whatever. Just make it something nice.

Oh, Ben, I will NEVER understand why the hell CC would name that human chick Marie D'Ancanto. Ever. Ever ever never. WHY??

Anna Marie is a cute name. I like it when she's called Anna. Screw "OHHH LOOK ANNA PAQUIN + MARIE FROM MOOVEEZ LOLZ", it's a nice name.

I liked Remy and Bella Donna having southern last names (LeBeau/Bordeuauxuzxuax) so Rogue should get a nice one. OR, hell, just take on Darkholme (or Adler, but that's a fugly one, isn't it?).

[drwho]

If Rogue was adopted why wouldnt she change her last name to Darkholme. Was she adopted when she was little by Mystique?

[Arrjay]

They may as well reveal it now.

There was mystery around the whole 'she has no name' thing, but now that we know HALF the answer, i see no reason not to know the rest.

I agree completely with this statement.


I'd love for her last name to be Belle.

Anna Marie Belle has such a ring.

Agreed also. I think it'd suit her well.

[Bishop_Proudstar]

It should be revealed as Marie D'Ancanto, as props to Brian Singer for doing what Claremont wouldn't do.

Southern-fried Italian?

[Bishop_Proudstar]

I thought that her name was Anna-Marie Paquin..

Anna-Marie Summers?

Anna-Marie Essex? (That would be a laugh)

[Arrjay]

I thought that her name was Anna-Marie Paquin..

Um.

You're kidding right?

[Zombienorthstar]

Anna-Marie Essex? (That would be a laugh)

I know that sounds ridiculous...but i just cant help but imagine all the really good Remy/Rogue and Summers/Rogue tension.

[Bishop_Proudstar]

She would kill Sinister...

I'm joking..

I'd like her to remain her own character/history without being connected to anyone she's already encountered in battle.

[fishtaco]

No, it shouldn't be. None of her name should be revealed.

[Brian M.]

Anne-Marie Lebeau

That way she can finally get over the "Ah can't touch you" thing and be "Ah thank God ah can't touch you".

[jen]

With regards to Rogue's name, I am calling for a retcon! I want her to say she was just using an alias and that Anna Marie is not her name. She's still not telling. I also want a retcon on her origin by Bedard. Not how I ever imagined her and I pretend it never happened. ;)

[drwho]

I still don't get why the board can't accept her last name as Darkholme. She was adopted as a little girl when you are adopted you are given the last name of the people that adopt you. I don't see why there is obsession over her last name.

[Mystique's Rogue]

Same here. I'm pretending her origin written by Bedard is just a bad dream. Claremont should write her origin or some good writer like Ann Nocenti or Fabian Nicieza or Scott Lobdell.

Anna Marie is a cute name but it doesn't fit Rogue's character.

[kel25]

She’s on a team with friends she trust with her life. Unless she has amnesia and no memories of her real name there is no reason why her real name should still be a mystery after so long. In fact I think it’s kind of stupid that it wasn’t revealed years ago.

It’s kind of like a hero being an urban myth. It can only work for a few years before it starts to become stupid.

[The Real Rogue]

Nope, her last name should remain a mistery.

[Sentinel K]

Nope, her last name should remain a mistery.

Why?
1010101

[drwho]

her last name is darkholme. thank you.

I agree. It made sense in the early days, but now its just drawn out. At this point, for it to be a "big reveal," it would have to be a connection to an already existing character. This is the only reason for her to have kept it a secret (as much as I want her to keep her own, separate history).

To be honest, I think its just that no one has bothered to come up with a name for her.

In my humble opinion, the only plausible thing to do is just give her a name and act like the other X-Men have known it for awhile.

[Sentinel K]

her last name is darkholme. thank you.

I would thank you if you were right.

But you aren't.

[drwho]

I would thank you if you were right.

But you aren't.

When you are adopted don't you take the last name of the people that adopt you? Anyway when i write this book i will reveal to the world that it is Anna Marie Cornwalis to make you all happy. :D

[Sentinel K]

It wouldn't make it her REAL surname though. That would be the name her parents have/had.

And anyway...did Mystique officially adopt Rogue. It doesn't seem likely they would have gone though official proceedings etc.

Isn't she just a girl they took in after she ran away from home? ( I don't recall the details, someone remind me)

[Hi-Fi]

Isn't she just a girl they took in after she ran away from home? ( I don't recall the details, someone remind me)

You are correct.

[DDM]

Mystique found Rogue sometime after she ran away from home at the age of 11. Mystique knew of Rogue's mutant powers, but they have not emerged at this point. No, Mystique never officially adopted Rogue; this would have the government made aware of Mystique's true identity as a mutant terrorist & could compromise her other secret identity in the Department of Defense as Raven Darkholme. Mystique is Rogue's unofficial foster mother.

Rogue is fearful of her own mutant powers since she cannot control them. However, Rogue's inability to control her powers is psychological in nature. Rogue's split Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel personality could easily control Rogue's mutant powers shown in Uncanny X-Men #239.

Chris Claremont intended for Mystique & Destiny to be her parents, albeit they are her unofficial foster parents. Rogue's birth parents are forgotten since she absorbed so many different personalities over time; it may be her bioloogical father committed incest with Rogue which gives Rogue the inability to control her mutant powers...

[Mikl C]

I liked the mystery element. WhUt Is RougE's reAl name?1!

[Mystique's Rogue]

it may be her bioloogical father committed incest with Rogue which gives Rogue the inability to control her mutant powers...

Is there something in the comics which implied something about this?:)

[Faded]

It'd be cute if she got some bonding moments with Kurt and adopted 'Wagner' for her last name.

After so long, girl needs a full name, even if its unofficial.

[jarrod]

After she takes Mystique's mind and powers, she'll take her name too. ;)

[RoguishGurl]

I would like to know Rogue's last name too. Or she could just marry Remy and be Anna-Marie Lebeau. *ducks from all the Rogue/Remy haters*

[Phil Hunn]

Whatever. Just make it something nice.

Oh, Ben, I will NEVER understand why the hell CC would name that human chick Marie D'Ancanto. Ever. Ever ever never. WHY??

So that comic-Rogue couldn't be called that.

That's pretty much it.

Me, I quite like her being called Anna-Marie, but I don't want "The Hunt For Rogue's Surname" to last for as long as it took to find out her first...

[kury-bop]

Wasn't Anna just a fake name she was using during the Xtreme issues? And Marie came from the movie so I refuse to believe its part of her real name.I know, that's so freaking lame. I remember that being announced and I just scoffed at the laziness of the writers. =\


No, it shouldn't be. None of her name should be revealed.I'm with you! A rogue is supposed to be sneaky, mysterious- a mischievous thief or baddie. And as such, I think that Rogue, the character, she have kept that mystique. But noooo. ><

[sbo]

Revealing Rogue's last name would be just as anticlimactic as it was revealing her first name. I'd rather they just leave some mystery to her character.

[The Surrealist]

I don't think it's important, but I would like to know anyway. :)

[Alan2099]

I agree. It made sense in the early days, but now its just drawn out. At this point, for it to be a "big reveal," it would have to be a connection to an already existing character. This is the only reason for her to have kept it a secret
Anna-Marie Dukes? :p

Anna-Marie Sabah Nur? :evilsmile

Anna-Marie Stark? :eek:

[PyreFlie]

Honestly, I liked the fact that no one knew her real name. That's all part of a life that she left behind a long time ago and a life that she can never return to. Once a mutant always a mutant, once an X-Man, always an X-Man. I mean, Anna Marie is okay if that is her real name and not just an alias, but it's cooler if her real name goes on unknown. Plus, after all this time, a reveal like that would have to be awesome, and I'm sorry, but there is no one name that would make every fan happy.

I think I remember Rogue giving her last name as Darkholme at some point, but that's probably just because Mystique is the only person that she considers to be her real mom, her birth mom and life before mystique is unimportant.

[Diablito]

Rogue's last name should be something really ridiculous, like Cockburn or Cuntweed. That would give her reason to have hidden her last name all these years.

[Michael P]

Nah. I'd rather see her take up a new last name.

[RoguishGurl]

Nah. I'd rather see her take up a new last name.

Like Lebeau? :D

[Citizen V]

Now that we know already know Rogue's first name (Anna Marie), do you think they should also reveal her last name too?

If Claremont did not come up with the name,then i don't call it Rouge's name.:(

[xmanson]

As long as it's not Summers, any name should be ok.

[Alan2099]

As long as it's not Summers, any name should be ok.

Anna Marie Von Doom it is.

[Omega Alpha]

Anna Marie Von Doom it is.

This would be awesome.:D

Seriously, she should have real name revealed a long time ago, keep mystery over things like that for too long is never a good idea; if you don't tell the character's origin, real name, motivations, etc, someone eventually will do it for you, and it's rarely going to turn out into something good. Imagine how many bad stories we would have been spared of if Claremont told Wolverine's origins back in the 80's?


If Rogue was adopted why wouldnt she change her last name to Darkholme. Was she adopted when she was little by Mystique?

I doubt Mystique and Destiny legally adopted her.

[Faded]

I like mysteries as much as the next person, but Rogue is about what...3 decades old? That mystery got old real fast. She's hardly the newbie who is disconnected from her fellow members.

Plus, just having a first name is...weird.


I would like to know Rogue's last name too. Or she could just marry Remy and be Anna-Marie Lebeau. *ducks from all the Rogue/Remy haters*

At least you didn't say Romy.

I almost considered it actually, but now I'm glad I didn't.

[caney]

I think Faded's real name should be revealed!

[Faded]

I think Faded's real name should be revealed!

Its Faded! I'm like Cher.

But with even larger cheekbones.

[caney]

Its Faded! I'm like Cher.

But with even larger cheekbones.

Faded and Rogue are both awesomely mysterious names. They should both remain that way.

[Pixie_Solanas]

Whatever it is, it will be a letdown.

Kinda like when they finally revealed Kramer's first name on Seinfeld...

[knuklo]

Rogue's last name should be something really ridiculous, like Cockburn or Cuntweed. That would give her reason to have hidden her last name all these years.

or Firecrotch.

[KJ_81]

Unless it's going to be used as a main storypoint, (which I hope they wouldn't, her family is screwed up enough) then I think why bother. The time has kinda passed, and I don't think it matters anymore.

[Faded]

Say what you want about him, but I think Scott Lobdell should name Rogue.

His characters always had awesome real names.

[Mystique's Rogue]

Whatever. Just make it something nice.

Oh, Ben, I will NEVER understand why the hell CC would name that human chick Marie D'Ancanto. Ever. Ever ever never. WHY??

Anna Marie is a cute name. I like it when she's called Anna. Screw "OHHH LOOK ANNA PAQUIN + MARIE FROM MOOVEEZ LOLZ", it's a nice name.

I liked Remy and Bella Donna having southern last names (LeBeau/Bordeuauxuzxuax) so Rogue should get a nice one. OR, hell, just take on Darkholme (or Adler, but that's a fugly one, isn't it?).

Well naming a human chick Marie D'Ancanto would no longer make it logical or possible for another writer to name Rogue Marie D' Ancanto since CC has already given it to another character.

My guess is, just a guess, CC doesn't want to name Rogue Marie D' Ancanto.:D I like CC.

[Mystique's Rogue]

With regards to Rogue's name, I am calling for a retcon! I want her to say she was just using an alias and that Anna Marie is not her name. She's still not telling. I also want a retcon on her origin by Bedard. Not how I ever imagined her and I pretend it never happened. ;)


Know what? I would've wanted a retcon too, both for her name and origin. ;) The origin Bedard wrote, is, I don't know to explain it, it's very UN-Rogue like, it's just too tame, too sweet, too nice.



Isn't Rogue's real name Anya Lensherr?

Just kidding.

[Ice_Cold_Emma_Frost]

Darkholme...Raven used to work in the government it isn't unbelievable that her and Destiny really did become Foster/Adoptive parents of Rogue

[Mystique's Rogue]

Say what you want about him, but I think Scott Lobdell should name Rogue.

His characters always had awesome real names.

Yeah, wasn't he the one who named Gambit "Remy Le Beau."

[Omega Alpha]

Yeah, wasn't he the one who named Gambit "Remy Le Beau."

Jim Lee.



Isn't Rogue's real name Anya Lensherr?


That would explain why they have the hots for each other...

[Mystique's Rogue]

You didn't see the part after that statement wherein I said, "just kidding"? :D

kng di ako nagkakamali/if im not mistaken, bedard didnt write rogue's origin. the writer before him did.

[Novaya Havoc]

Upon further reflection, I think Rogue's last name should be...

Beauregarde

[Ice_Cold_Emma_Frost]

O'Harastein

[Faded]

No, I don't.

BLUEAUREGARDE Q. KAZOO?

I didn't notice it was posted a year ago. So you think that's the reason too or you think it was something else???

[Ice_Cold_Emma_Frost]

I think Anna was a stupid choice..."oh lets name her after the actress that portrayed her in the movie"

Any name will never be good enough because they left it alone for so long (even before she joined the xmen)...she's just Rogue..and having Mystique suddenly call her by her "given" name is bunk

[PyreFlie]

Upon further reflection, I think Rogue's last name should be...

Beauregarde

Only if her first name turns out to be Violet!

[Faded]

Marie D'Ancanto would've been fine by me if the other character didn't exist.

[Vegetarian Goat]

Oops. Nevermind.
