Rogue, born Anna Marie, is a mutant from the American South whose life was forever changed when her powers manifested during her teenage years. Her ability allows her to absorb the memories, emotions, powers, and life force of anyone she touches skin-to-skin, making normal human contact dangerous. Frightened and isolated by her abilities, she eventually fell under the guidance of Mystique and the Brotherhood of Mutants before realizing she wanted a better path. Seeking acceptance and control over her powers, Rogue joined the X-Men, where she found a family among fellow mutants. Despite years of battling prejudice, powerful enemies, and her own fears, she became one of the X-Men’s most dependable heroes, known for her courage, compassion, and unwavering loyalty to those she loves.
