Biography
Childhood
Marie grew up in the small town Meridian, Mississippi. Her upbringing was fairly typical of a Southern girl, but there are certain aspects of her past she refuses to talk about. When she was sixteen, her mutant ability manifested when Cody Robbins kissed her. Her terror at the situation lead to her running from home.
Arriving at the Mansion
After she ran away from home, Marie hitched her way to Laughlin City where she ran across Logan. After he discovered her hiding in his trailer, something about her struck a chord in him and he decided to let her travel with him. Shortly thereafter, the pair was attacked by Sabretooth, then saved by Cyclops and Storm and brought to the mansion. Shortly thereafter, Rogue snuck into Logan's bedroom one night when she heard him experiencing a nightmare. Waking up in a blind rage, Logan accidentally impaled Marie on his claws. She touched him, using her power to imprint his healing ability and save herself.
Mystique, posing as Bobby tricked Rogue into thinking that Xavier was angry at her for using her ability on Logan, which led to her running away. Though Logan and the X-Men were able to find her, Magneto still managed to abduct her for use in his mutation machine, even though he knew the strain would kill her. The X-Men were able to locate Rogue and the mutation device at the top of the Statue of Liberty and rescue her, though Rogue would have died if Logan hadn’t touched her to transfer his healing powers to her. Rogue gained the permanent white streak framing her face from the drain of the machine.
Living At Xavier’s
After the events of X2, Marie became a bit of a recluse. She broke up with Bobby and spent a lot of time in her room, only socializing when other people went to seek her out. Several people, especially Logan, Angelo, Shinobi and Doug, made successful efforts to draw her out of her shell and she became active teaching and interacting with the other residents.
She quickly became active with the X-Men, though her first mission proved to be fairly traumatic. While trying to retrieve John Allerdyce, Rogue killed Stanley, absorbing his powers permanently. She was then captured by the government and subjected to medical tests and evaluations; however, due to her new abilities, she was able to break herself out and was picked up and returned to the mansion by Scott. This incident resulted in Marie being placed on a military blacklist, inhibiting her ability to attend college off campus until recently.
Canadian Hiatus
The death of Stanley caused Rogue to realize the danger she posed to those around her, especially if people without good intentions realized the meaning of her absorption power. The events that took place in Love Potion Number Nine served to further destabilize her and increase her fear of hurting those around her. Marie became depressed and withdrawn, pushing away most of her friends. She became closer to Logan, the one man who always seemed able to understand and protect her, until the pair finally decided to move to Canada in May 2004.
While in Canada, Marie met and befriended the members of Alpha Flight, especially Garrison Kane. Rogue devoted a significant portion of her time up north in therapy with Twoyoungman, trying to gain control over the fragments of people still inside her head. Finally resorting to hypnotism, Marie managed to suppress most of the personalities floating through her psyche. Her personality was affected by the hypnotism and in times of stress, the other personalities are still able to leak through.
She and Logan broke up while they were in Canada, realizing that their relationship wasn’t healthy for either of them. They are still close friends and their relationship has evolved to have more mentor/mentee components.
Returning to the Mansion
Her sanity more in control than not, she decided to return to the mansion, throwing herself into school and the team. With Xavier’s help, she was able to gain admission to Pace University, having been taken of the military blacklist. She has been succeeding in her classes and recently begun exploring her thesis topic of retrograde amnesia. She renewed many of her friendships, especially with Logan, Amanda, Shiro and Angelo. Through both her position as RA and teaching PE, she has gotten to know the students fairly well, feeling particularly close to Laurie and Yvette.
The rest of the year following her return to the mansion was an eventful time for Marie. She discovered that she was adopted, a fact she is still struggling to deal with. However, she has discovered the best coping mechanism for her at this point is to ignore her new knowledge unless she is forced to think about it. Very few mansion residents are aware of this new fact in Marie’s life.
Beginning to experiment with her ability to absorb others powers, Marie was also forced to use it in the field in order take down Sabretooth, subdue Shiro and to save her life. While not intentional, her power was also activated during a retrieval mission when Marius began attacking the X-Men.
Fire also played a large role in Rogue's life, beginning with Cyndi setting her aflame at the beach in San Diego. When on a mission that ended up in the rescue of Amara, Marie was also required to test her invulnerability by making her way through lava. In order to subdue Shiro (as mentioned above), Marie was also lit ablaze. However, only the first time had dire effects, with her discovery that though she herself wasn’t able to be set on fire, her hair sadly could still burn quite thoroughly.
Not all Marie’s experiences were so eventful, some just having an overload of snark or promises never to speak of the events again.

Powers
Rogue’s primary power is her ability to absorb the life force and mutant ability by skin to skin contact. She does not have the ability to turn this power off and it automatically kicks in at the smallest contact. In general, she actively retains the power of the person she’s absorbed for 60 times longer than she was in contact.
Rogue absorbed the abilities of flight, superstrength and invulnerability permanently when she killed Stanley. Despite her invulnerability, she still has a tendency to act like she isn’t.
Equipment
Gloves.
Marie’s modified X-Men uniform is made from fireproof and reknitting material, and includes a bomber jacket to go over the thinner material. The gloves on her uniform are easily removed
Trivia
Certain of Marie’s likes and dislikes come from the people she’s absorbed, such as her preference for black coffee.
Marie’s mental mindscape looks like a series of dams.
Moira taught Marie how to shoot a handgun; she already had both personal and absorbed experience with rifles and shotguns.
Marie rescued Shamu during The Rictor Effect; when she and Kyle were sent to help evacuate an animal shelter, a small black and white kitten crawled onto her head - Kyle took the kitten home and dubbed the little guy Shamu, Jr.
