Top 10 ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF ROGUE
Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Since she sucked the life out of her first boyfriend, Anne Marie has been struggling
to put a handle on her mutant powers and to better learn to control them.
I guess you could say that date was really draining.
Because sheÕs such a memorable character, she has had several alternate versions thrown
in storylines here and there.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 alternate versions of ROGUE.
In the number 10 spot we have ULTIMATE ROGUE.
Marian Carlyle is the ultimate universeÕs version of Rogue.
She was raised in a trailer park alongside Juggernaut while her mutant powers were developing.
In order to gain an understanding of what was happening to her she volunteered for Colonel
WraithÕs weapon X program.
But she was labeled too dangerous and tossed into a prison cell, only to be used for Professor
WÕs own gain.
Such as taking down the x men!
Coming in at number 9 is THOGUE.
Which is definitely a name I just made up, but youÕll understand it in a second.
In the what if Rogue possessed the power of Thor story, rogue posses the power of Thor!
Who wouldÕve thought.
To elaborate, she accidently absorbs the Asgardian godÕs powers permanently and was unable to
cope with the amount of power, killing many of the Avengers and Brotherhood of Mutants.
Luckily enough she wields the hammer and is able to find the strength in herself to live
up to the Thor name.
And from that, Thogue is born!
Next, at number 8 we got ANNA MARIE RAVEN.
X Men ForeverÕs version of Rogue looks pretty familiar, but not because she looks like Rogue.
In this story arc, Rogue has given Nightcrawler CPR and thus absorbed his powers, basically
switching with him; she gets the tail and the skin while he gets to resemble a normal
human.
But he also got to switch powers with her.
Now although she wasnÕt digging the blue man look, she was excited to try out not sucking
the life force out of a lover.
Namely here, Spiderman.
And she got so close too.
In the number 7 spot is RUNAWAY.
In the amalgam universe, MarvelÕs rogue got to cross over with DCÕs Gypsy and became
Runaway, a name that nods to the fact that Rogue was a runaway herself early in life.
Runaway was a member of the Judgement League Avengers before the team split off into the
JLX.
She later reappeared as a member of the JLXÑconveniently in time to take on the villain at the time,
Fin Fang Flame.
As with her two parent characters, she can absorb othersÕ essences, as well as create
illusions.
Coming in at number 6 we have MILLENIAL VISIONS ROGUE.
Because you guys know I like to have my fun here, I thought I would throw in this version
of Rogue.
There are quite a few different Rogues in the Millenial Visions story, so the one weÕre
touching on is Rogue from X is Enough.
We know that Rouge has had a long standing relationship with Gambit and occasionally
is tempted by Magneto.
Well in this story, for whatever reason, she gets passed around like a joint and has one
kid each with Angel, Cyclops, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Colossus, and Gambit.
X is Enough but 2 men clearly was not.
Next up, at number 5 is LEGACY.
In Age of X, rogue went by the name of Legacy.
She was raised by Mystque and Destiny in this continuity until they tested positive for
the X gene and got arrested, leaving her on the streets.
She discovers her powers to absorb the memories of mutants and uses them in her duties to
fortress X to absorb the memories of mutants who die in battle, creating a memory bank
within herself to maintain their legacy.
This also earns her the nickname the Reaper.
Up next at number 4 is ANNE MARIE RANKIN.
This version of Rogue exists in the Marvel Noir storyline as one of Professor XÕs most
talented students.
She had a gift for copying others personalities and taking on teir likeliness, and was extensively
studied by Professor X.
At one point, Jean GreyÕs body washes up on shore dead and there is an investigation
to find out what happened.
Spoiler alert if you want to read Noir, but it turns out the body wasnÕt Jean at all,
but rather Anne Marie.
Rogue was dead basically the whole series.
In the number 3 spot, we have EXILES ROGUE.
Anna Raven from the Exiles arc was raised in a wealthy and sophisticated environment,
but that didnÕt deter her from becoming an elaborate thief, and eventually joining the
Exiles herself for a bit.
This rogue still has her absorptive abilities, but only in her hands; so the rest of her
body can be touched without ill effect.
Something that is demonstrated when she is given CPR by a stranger named Remy.
But you probably know him better as Gambit.
Coming in at number 2 is THE END ROGUE.
Rogue from X Men: The End finally got to accomplish what sheÕs been trying so hard to do.
SheÕs gained complete control over her powers.
Because of this, she was able to start a family with Gambit that includes 2 kids named Olivier
and Rebecca.
It seems like the ideal future for these 2 X Men, but of course, as is often the case
with comics, the peace would be shattered thanks to Mister Sinister.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, weÕve got AGE OF APOCALYPSE ROGUE.
As a child, Rogue is brought to Magneto, who is in charge of the X Men, to learn the way
of her powers.
Along the way she grew close to her teammate Gambit, but also spent a lot of time with
Magneto, partly as a promise to Scarlet witch to look out for him, and partly because of
an attraction.
She eventually chose Magneto over Gambit and Magneto was able to let them touch by coating
them in an electromagnetic sheath.
What can I say, even mutants know the importance of protection.
So those were the top 10 alternate versions of the ROGUE.
Let me know in the comment section down below who you want alternate versions of next.
