She has her standard "memory/lifeforce/superpower" sucking ability and all of Sunfire's abilities since she permenantly absorbed them.

I can't even remember... is she still psi-immune, or did that go away when Carol Danvers' personality did? Someone remind me.

I'm not really answering this, but might be adding crap.

I thought it wasn't the fact she was 'Psy-immune', but it was the fact that her mind was so jumbed up with other peoples minds and thoughts that her own were hard to reach.

I think Rogue's immunity to telepaths went away after Uncanny X-Men #269 when the "Ms. Marvel" persona was intergrated fully into Rogue's psyche. Otherwise, the Shadow King would not have been able to corrupt Rogue as he did in Uncanny X-Men #278.

Originally, Rogue's second personality, Ms. Marvel, set up an opposing psi-pattern making Rogue's mind impenatrable to telepaths. Given Ms. Marvel was a hybrid mixture of human & the alien Kree, Rogue developed a natural resistance to telepathy. Xavier explains it fully in Uncanny X-Men #171.

Rogue is also immune to stretch marks.

He failed, but he still could have possibly done it.

But he the Shadow King did not corrupt Rogue because she was fighting a memory of the Shadow King--not the real one.

rogue's powers haven't been explicitly defined since she "lost" them in x-treme x-men. claremont dropped more than a few hints that something was going on with rogue but nothing happened on paper and then she showed up in austen's reload with "i can't touch anyone but i don't have ms. marvel powers either". no explanations. i brought this up at least 8-10 months ago and it went unanswered.

We don't know. Even the editors don't know. But I'm not surprised on the last one.
