That’s right, sugah, she’s a one-woman army! But what exactly are Rogue’s powers?
With her mutant abilities, Rogue can absorb the powers, skills, and memories of anyone she touches, usually with little control over the process. Over the course of her career as both a hero and villain, Rogue siphoned the abilities and memories of some of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, from Captain Marvel to Wonder Man.
With the Season 5.5 update, Rogue recently joined the ever-expanding Marvel Rivals roster alongside her partner-in-crime, Gambit! As a Vanguard hero, she charges into enemy lines with powerful melee abilities, opening opportunities for her team with her signature ability: power absorption. During battle, Rogue can take down an enemy hero and absorb abilities from them, gaining a basic buff based on their role. She may even steal a signature ability, like Doctor Strange’s Shield of the Seraphim or Loki’s Regeneration Domain.
Read on to find out how Rogue’s powers touched the Marvel Universe and let’s take a closer look at the iconic mutant’s abilities and how they have evolved over time in the comics.
