The power couple<\/a> of the X-Men\u2014or one of them, depending on who you ask\u2014is now complete in\u00a0Marvel Rivals\u00a0with the debut of Rogue.<\/p>\n

With the Season 5.5 update, Anna Marie joins her husband, Remy LeBeau, as the latest addition to NetEase\u2019s superhero shooter. Like Gambit<\/a>, she\u2019s voiced by her X-Men \u201997<\/a>\u00a0actor\u2014Lenore Zann, continuing to reprise her role from the old 1992 cartoon\u2014and in\u00a0Rivals mishmash-multiverse lore, both hail from the same universe, where they were getting hitched on the living island Krakoa just before the Timestream Entanglement interrupted their wedding and tore them apart.<\/p>\n

In-game, NetEase has Rogue classified as a melee-focused Vanguard, and she uses her absorbing abilities to take the powers of any enemy she takes down, gaining a buff depending on their class. (In a video<\/a> detailing the update, director Guangyun Chan cited Doctor Strange\u2019s shield and Loki\u2019s regeneration as examples her stealing signature abilities.) For her ultimate, Rogue actually drains the ultimate ability charge of any nearby enemies, buffing herself depending on the roles of who she\u2019s stealing from. Finally, she has a team-up ability with her man: Remy hits her with kinetic energy, and every hit damages nearby enemies and heals teammates. The ultimate sign of a healthy marriage.<\/p>\n

Look for Rogue to join Marvel Rivals\u00a0this Friday, December 12.<\/p>\n
