The ability to soak up the powers of any mutant of your selection ( or any non - mutant , for that matter ) seems like the perfect skill for any Marvel character to have . Need to fly , heal , and slash and dice all at the same clip ? Take off your glove and take it !
certain , the proximity of the mutants who have those ability is a key component in the usefulness of such a power , butX - Men’sscrappy Rogue is ordinarily pretty resourceful about using her abilities . Except when she ’s not .
Every sport has that whole allowance period to get accustomed to their powers . It ’s like adolescence but with mortal endangerment involved . Between great personal jeopardy and harming others beyond repair , Rogue ’s learning period proved to be so helter-skelter and violent that it even involved usurping another mutation ’s business leader completely as her own .
Rogue ’s foolhardiness and , in some example , inauspicious power to be in the wrong place at the faulty time have be her everything from her signified of self to her own saneness at times . Those who ’ve sought to practice and blackguard her powers for their own increase have left further scrape for Rogue to heal .
Some ruinous and some merely uncomfortable as hell , these are the15 Worst Powers Rogue Has Absorbed , Ranked .
Juggernaut
When you could access any power in the world , it stands to reason that some of the king you derive into contact with could be pretty addictive .
When Rogue absorbedJuggernaut’spower ( it was actually Black Tom ’s power , shared by Juggernaut as a natal day endowment ) inMarvel Team - Up # 150 , the awe she feel at the great power she accessed was only rivaled by the instant sorrow brought on from losing the power when Juggernaut dispose the Ruby of Cyttorak into blank space to prevent anyone from sharing his mogul once again .
InUncanny X - Men # 218 , Rogue deal another sense of taste when she punches Juggernaut with zero effect , so she kisses him in purchase order to absorb enough big businessman to bust off his helmet and render him vulnerable . This sentence she throw away him onto a railroad raceway and pummel him so hard she leave a crater in the ground . Ouch .
Mojo
Just thinking of the lyric " Becoming Mojo " probably pee you honk in your mouth a little bit . It ’s not even just the way the puppet look ( ew ) , but the way Mojo behaves that crap him such a yucky scoundrel .
Mojois the Marvel interpretation of a reality goggle box producer , and he call back it ’s laughable to determine mutants fight to the death , become flat in extreme conditions , and otherwise find their grisly ends as long as they are televise .
When Rogue absorbed the nasty baddie ’s powers in theUncanny X - Men Annual # 10 , she could n’t even contain them in her torso . She expire out before she could do anything with the powers and claimed that there was simply no oddment to his disgusting power . What little she took had no effect on Mojo , either , which just tally contumely to accidental injury . She could n’t even loosen the palpebra to the pickle jar for her teammate , so to speak .
Hecatomb
Despite the terrifying nature ofRogueabsorbing Hecatomb in X - Men # 199 and her unwell appearance as she push the effects of a battle with Pandemic , she happened to front pretty fierce as she , you be intimate , hire on the 8 billion lives that the artillery had absorbed all into herself . It seemed like just another day in paradise .
It was quite the opposite , in fact . Rogue had been recovering in a infirmary from the Pandemic infection spread through her eubstance when Cable called out to her for aid , and in the process not only did she further harm herself and her fragile land of mind by taking on all of those the great unwashed , but she started it by waken up and kill a nurse in the process .
Like many of the tragedies surrounding Rogue , the last was an chance event as the nurse but grabbed her branch and tried to help her , and her voice came out of Rogue ’s oral fissure as she left for the mission .
Loki
Sometimes Rogue has approximation about how to use her powers that stem more from curiosity or the hope to elongate her limitations than unsubdivided good intentions . " Hmm , I ’ve never tasted god power . get ’s find out what that does to me ! " is essentially her justification for taking power fromLokiinX - Men & Alpha Flight # 2 .
When Rogue ’s hired hand makes contact , it does n’t run and she ’s stunned or else of triumphant from the experience . Loki , of grade , was also immune to her efforts . He even tells her so , telling her that she ’s chivalrous but sleeveless , and later she is left reeling from the experience .
Even so , she still feel his psychical remainder in her mind inUncanny X - homo # 236 . This is unfortunately more of a contemplation of his own power than hers .
Mystique
As her foster girl , one might believe thatRoguehas some auspices when it comes to Mystique , but that ’s only not the case with the notorious villain . She has poke , shot , used , and attempted to seduce her boyfriend , but Rogue has not always simply rolled her eyes and call a friend to complain like most daughters .
She actually steal Mystique ’s powers to find out out if her mother truly slept with Gambit , her boyfriend at the time , but as vehemently as Gambit deny it and as deep as Mystique remain , no one ever discovered whether Remy , an realised liar , was true or not .
Rogue has also " innocently " peeked into Mystique ’s brain , chirping , " Penny for your thoughts ? " inMarvel Fanfare # 60as she reached her pointer finger’s breadth over to tap her mother ’s face . Mystique looked horror-stricken as Rogue retorted , " I ca n’t believe you were recall about THAT ! Cripes , Mystique ! "
Mullet - Rogue also took Mystique ’s power inMarvel Super Heroes # 2when Mystique attempted to justify fake her ( one of many , many times ) , but it was one of the several prison term that Mystique force herself into Rogue ’s psyche against her will . Many daughters might say that they have their mammy in their head , but they for sure do n’t think in this literal sense .
Weapon Omega
InX - gentleman’s gentleman Legacy # 264,Mimiccrashes into the Jean Grey School with weapon system Omega in tow , enounce that his pal need supporter . As soon as artillery Omega discover where he is , he rushes to absorb all of the zip that he can , actuate the team to bewitch him and hold him in a containment chamber until his ability are stable again .
Beast analyzes Omega and watch that he ’s essentially a walk time dud after absorbing different types of zip . Mimic and Beast think it will be a good idea to help out and absorb some of the energy , but both Mimic and Rogue become special bombs as a result !
Rogue and Mimic are able-bodied to engross vitality from one another and passably much invalidate out their bomb statuses by the next issuance , but Z has to be put into a temporary comatoseness . Being a bomb ca n’t have been the highlight of Rogue ’s 2012 .
Psylocke, Wolverine, Colossus, X-23, And Archangel… All At Once
It had to happen sometime , correct ? Complete overkill of Rogue ’s abilities .
InX - man : Legacy # 235 , Rogue becomes theX - Menversion of Captain Planet by combining the powers ofX-23 , Wolverine , Angel , Colossus and Psylocke . She does this to offer Hope Summers the good protection while Nightcrawler transports them all over the country , giving Cable and the quietus of the squad a chance to fight the villain Bastion and his gang , who are after Hope .
The resulting essence is kind of cool … but it also kind of looks like someone break apart all of their legal action figures and just randomly put them back together .
The tactics go for a while and Rogue has to protect the three of them with all of her powers , but it ’s still not enough . Bastion manage to find them while Kurt intermit , run through . One of the most memorable deaths in comics occur as Nightcrawler is murdered by Bastion while save up Hope , something that of course never leaves Rogue ’s judgement after .
Deadpool
It was another , albeit more recent , case of had to happen finally : Rogue smoochedDeadpoolinUncanny Avengers # 22and restored him to the pre - cancerous Wade Wilson milkshake that brought all the superwomen to the pace .
Rogue still handle to look pretty adorable , even after Wade tell that she deserved well than absorbing " his crap " and she told him that she did n’t care what she looked like . She might care if she looked and smelled like Pool totally and all of the fourth dimension !
Sure , Rogue mat like she owed the Merc with a Mouth after pretty much sound off his target , but she also started to fall for him . Either mode , the experience , at least as far as the transfer of power , could not have been the most pleasant of Rogue ’s absorption here and now , so her affection for Pool is what made her come back for another smack .
Mephisto
Mephistois the demon we all love to detest , especially since he broke upSpider - Manand MJ . When Rogue took some of his baron , it was all completely under the demon ’s controller as he allowed the mutation to absorb his king on purpose .
InMephisto Vs . The X - piece , he plan on using Rogue ’s mightiness in parliamentary procedure to steal the soul of a beaten , powerless Thor . Mephisto used his powers to insure hers , kiss her and fulfilling her dream of being intimate with someone without draining their power .
LuckilyThorwas able to escape the full plot , but Rogue still has to live with the genial anguish of being manipulate by a fiend along with all of the other injury she ’s encountered in her life .
Sunfire
Rogue ’s absorption ofSunfire ’s powers remains one of the second of her lifespan that haunted her . During Rogue ’s third series ( as well asUncanny Avengers ) , Sunfire experience himself dying . In decisive condition , he wanted Rogue to plunge him as a good dying than his own suicide . He made the casing that she ’d necessitate his office to help defeat Deathstrike , but Rogue hesitated , unwilling to harm him .
Blindspot shoved Rogue onto Sunfire to take his powers and Rogue on the face of it drain him to death , fully occupy his personality and going after Deathstrike with no cargo area barricade .
The X - Men arrived in time to stop Rogue from destroying Deathstrike entirely , but Sunfire took over and made her believe they were foe , causing her to assault them . Ultimately it was discovered that Rogue did not take Sunfire in completely - he was rushed to a hospital by a group of ninjas .
