Sounds exciting!

[Hi-Fi]

Sexy link! Thanks, Luckystar.

I'm more excited about Rogue's misadventures than Charles' resolution with Danger, though that should be at least entertaining.

[Optic Rage!]

**Is happy for Vic**

[rojash]

More talk about how Carey has "fixed" Rogue just makes me more excited for a post-Legacy Rogue-centric series.

[DeniseXfrost]

Danger's boobs are hypnotizing.

Me too! Couldn't care less about Xavier and Danger. I'm interested in this reliving a "specific past event that's crucially important" for Rogue.

Kissing Cody, absorbing Ms. Marvel or joining the X-Men are my top 3 picks.

Speaking of Cody, do you think he might be the boy who always 'dies'? He seems to young though.

[Hi-Fi]

All these Rogue fans (and Optic Rage!) together in the same thread! So cute.

[rojash]

You'll have to refresh me on what you are talking about.

[Hi-Fi]

The boy that Xavier and Gambit saw twice, once in "Valle Soleada" and once in "Genosha".

[caney]

I hope Rogue punches people. There are people who need punching and she's so cute when she's punching!

[rojash]

I'm a long way from reading those issues of Legacy. I have them sitting on my desk, but I am working through the early '90s right now and haven't even thought about reading my new issues yet.

Stupid backlog of re-purchased back issues.

Thats what I thought at first but he seems a bit too young, and with the whole interview going on about how Rogue keeps her past even from those who she calls friends, I think that maybe the boy is her little brother who she killed when her powers first manifested. This event led her running away from her blood relatives and has been bottled up inside her ever since.

Now who is this little brother, well he's a bit of a retcon but maybe this is why Rogue erased her past life as Anna Marie and met up with Mystique who took her in. Well its just a theory...

She was friends with Cody for a long time before her powers manifested though, so it's possible she's just seeing Cody as an ideal image, rather than how she last saw him.

Or the artists simply misfired.

It happens.

It's going to be like when Whedon revealed that Cyclops chose to be brain damaged.

[lockerogue]

More Rogue goodness!!!!

[rojash]

It's going to be like when Whedon revealed that Cyclops chose to be brain damaged.

A good idea that made sense but hasn't been mentioned since and still requires him to use his visor all the time?

[darknessatnoon]

What can I say? Cyclops is a real winner.

[Hi-Fi]

I've always thought that it makes sense for Rogue's lack of control of her powers to be of psychological nature. She doesn't really think she deserves happiness after what she did to Cody and Carol.

Quoted to agree and show approval.

Although, you just gave me the idea that maybe Rogue will finally be able to control her powers after this arc, so I'm going to blame you when I'm horribly, horribly crushed.

Control will always be temporary for someone as unstable as our beloved Rogue.

[rojash]

Ah, but what if she finally puts her house in order by the end of this arc?

[darknessatnoon]

Control will always be temporary for someone as unstable as our beloved Rogue.

Mama Mystique will show her the way.

[timbox]

Control is boring. I like Rogue fast and loose.

[Prodigy55]

You know what I never understood?
How come when Rogue took Cyclops' power, she could control it?

That would be much more interesting than some over-repetitive Cody. That boy can be her brother - Priscilla, Rogue's mom, was blond. I'd actually love that. You should team up with Mike Carey on all that. :smile:

[Come To Deathstrike]

She does not have the Scott Summers Brain Damage/Inferiority complex double.

Mama Mystique will show her the way.I figure Rogue and Cody were about 12 or 13 at the time of the fateful kiss.So the kid would seem to me to be old enough.Children often blame themselves when things go bad and are ignorant of the truth.I have often wondered if by some way Mystique "discovered" Rogue's ability before it manifested itself and somehow manipulated the situation to "push" Rogue into her dominance.The ultimate betrayal...

[Leirus]

I've always thought that it makes sense for Rogue's lack of control of her powers to be of psychological nature. She doesn't really think she deserves happiness after what she did to Cody and Carol.

It is more than that. Carey is really a continuity geek... and we all know the Carol mind could touch other people when in control of Rogue´s body.

http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/4412/roguetouch.png

So the problem here is psychological, and previous to the Carol debacle. I am with Darknessatnoon, we will go back to Rogue´s "first time", the boy she killed (and I am not usre it is going to be Cody) and why she is unable to control her powers.

Afterwards, she will be able to touch people, giving end to her personal growing arch started already in Carey´s X-men run :smile:

[Leirus]

Double post...

She would have known about the ability in advance from Destiny. So, you are right. But Rogue betrayed Mystique first by wanting to kiss a boy. Unacceptable!

[Leirus]

Ups... Forum hiccup !!

[soulkiller]

Lord, I was hooked with
The mutant known as Rogue, who absorbs powers, abilities and memories with a single touch, keeps much of her sordid past buried deep, even from those she calls friends. But her shadowy history erupts in a flurry of violence and vengeance in X-MEN: LEGACY #222, out March 18

:biggrin: I'm so excited, we might finally see some of Rogue's sordid past rear it's ugly head at her! Sounds like it's got angry teeth ready to rip her head off!

Awesome interview, it's going to be an awesome couple of issues!!!

[maigen]

No..you are all wrong. Wrong I tell you.

That kid is Rogue's. She got knocked up at a young age-a very Mississippian thing to do-and soul sucked that fetus into oblivion. The image of him is the age that the never-to-be baby would have been if Rogue's uterus weren't a fetal death trap.


C'mon people...it's sooooo obvious.

[jarrod]

Cyclops should be able to control his power naturally, but he's brain damaged/impotent.

[Hi-Fi]

I wonder if Irene's work with Sinister in Alamagordo might have something to do with Rogue's lack of control. Just a thought.

[darknessatnoon]

Probably not, Hi-Fi.

[Leogam]

i dont get how rogue has a permanent psychic residue/personality of Mystique in her head without mystique lying in a coma & her having mystiques powers.

normally when rogue absorbs someone's powers/skills/memories permanently she has the psychic residue of that individual in her head & that person is left in a coma (ex: Ms.Marvel), but if she temporariliy absorbs then the individual would be knocked out for a while & the psychic residue would fade when the powers fade.

so how is it Rogue has the psychic personality of mysique in her head, and Mystique is still running around as normal as can be without being in a coma or having her shapeshifting powers stolen by rogue

[RoguishGurl]

How exciting!! I'm so happy Rogue is back in my books. I love that girl.

Mystique is not as weak as Carol.

[Aquarius74]

Mystique is not as weak as Carol.

Both Mystique and Danvers have weaknesses. But only Mystique has no feelings (now that Irene Adler is dead). Is that a proof of superiority ?

[rogue_kiss]

I am soooooo happy with all the Rogue-y goodness that has been in Legacy lately. Yay!

And... Even better: Remy is here, too! *is a big ROMY 'shipper*

I really hope she can start to learn to control her powers and move past her demons.

And... I think the blonde boy is Cody. I totally do.

I can't wait to see what happens!

Also when she absorbed a large portion of Sunfire powers & some of his personality he didn't going into a coma (he almost die but that was more so because of Lady Deathstrike cutting his legs out than Rogue taken his powers) So more than likely has to do with the people will/toughness weather or not they go into a coma or etc. Hope this helps

[Bingo!]

No. Proof of superiority comes from Mystique's imprint demanding control of Rogue's body. That shifty mutant has female balls.

[Naira K]

On the other hand, wouldn't Gambit recognize Cody? He saw him at least once. My, I can't wait to see who the boy is...

[rojash]

I only recall Gambit seeing him in the Rogue limited series, and that was when Cody was an adult.

Sometimes people look a lot different when they're younger.

[Naira K]

Do you grow regular when you're in a coma, I wonder?

[rojash]

Your body ages as it normally would, since you can't stop that, you're just not awake for it.

[Naira K]

Oh. Thanks

As we've seen countless times, everyone Rogue ever touched left a psychic residue. They don't fade... ever. This slate was supposedly cleared recently by Hope, the Messiah baby. Then she touched Mommy Dearest. Lucky Rogue gets to have the one person she hates more than any others in her head constantly.

I do agree with killerbee a little. Carey has yet to show me his supposed fondness for Rogue... and I'm just about done waiting for it to show.

[ronaldmcdonald]

not impressed....so far this entire rogue storyline that carey promised would be fun and exciting and a must for rogue fans everywhere has been a complete let down. storyline bores me to tears and the art is horrendous, rogue hasn't look this bad since igor kordey started during her into a motorcycle dyke.
ditto.

i just hope that something interesting will really happen to rogue's character in this story arc.
