[Headcanon history]

2006-2008: Rogue decides against taking the drug and returns to her life at the X-Mansion (X3 alternate ending). Three months after taking the "Cure", mutants everywhere began to have their powers reactivated, and a year later Rogue resumes training with Xavier after his return to the mansion. She learns how to partition her mind and lock away the more unsavory personalities she'd absorbed over the years, but control over her powers eluded them. After finishing high school, Rogue stays on as a teacher at Xavier's school, as well as a full member of the X-Men. She teaches French and self-defense classes, and fills in anywhere else she is needed. Her romantic relationship with Bobby Drake ends as they both finally realize they want different things.

2009-2014: Rogue takes a few college classes online, pursuing a degree in French literature, while continuing to teach and travel the world on missions with the X-Men. Remy LeBeau, known as Gambit, arrives at the mansion to join the X-Men as tensions heighten both in Washington and on a more local scale. Remy begins to pursue Rogue romantically, persistently trying to get her to go on a date with him. It takes nearly two years of really getting to know him before Rogue acknowledges her own feelings for Remy and they begin a relationship.

2012: The Mutant Registration Act is finally passed the government begins collecting information on the sizeable mutant population in the US. The rest of the world quickly begins to follow suit.

2013: The Sentinel Program is launched to help deal with the more 'dangerous' mutants.

2014: The X-Men, including Rogue, are forced to flee the mansion as the government declares that all mutants are to be imprisoned, even those without dangerous abilities, and those who resist will be met with lethal force. Shortly after, all humans who aid mutants are imprisoned or killed as well.

2015: Sentinels begin exercising extreme force in their hunt for mutants, destroying buildings to deal with the mutants inside and even entire cities. The X-Men split up to cover more ground as they seek to find a way to save mankind and end the war. Rogue goes with the younger X-Men, including Bobby, Kitty, Piotr, and Remy.

2016: Fearing that they are truly losing the war and their time together is limited, Remy proposes to Rogue and she accepts. With just the two of them present, they say their wedding vows to each other in the ruins of an old stone church one morning at dawn, before leading an attack on a prison camp to liberate the humans and mutants being held there.

2017: During an attack by a group of Sentinels, Remy is fatally injured and asks Rogue to use her powers to allow him to stay with her forever. She absorbs him to the point of death and escapes with the rest of their group, with a fully-formed copy of Remy's psyche in her mind.

2018-2021: Rogue is captured by Sentinel agents/soldiers and taken to a prison camp for processing like other mutant prisoners. When her DNA is scanned and matched to Xavier's records, she is moved to Xavier's mansion, which has been transformed into a high-security facility for further development of the Sentinels. It is there that she is brutally tortured in the name of science as her mutation is studied in the hopes of utilizing it through the Sentinels to take the powers of all remaining mutants.

2021: [Days of Future Past] After nearly three years of captivity, experimentation, and torture, Rogue is rescued by Bobby, Professor X, and Magneto (Days of Future Past: Rogue Cut). Bobby gives his life to give them time to escape and get Rogue to the mountain temple in China where the mutants are staging their last stand against the Sentinel army. She absorbs the temporal phasing power of Kitty Pryde in order to continue projecting Logan into the past. The mission is a success: Just as the Sentinels break into the room, the past is changed, resulting in the destruction of the current timeline. This is the point from which Rogue will enter the City of Sin.


Strengths/Abilities: Rogue possesses the ability to absorb the memories, abilities, personality, and outward physical characteristics of other sentient beings through skin-to-skin contact. In the case of mutants or those with powers, she borrows said mutations and powers for a brief time, generally on a 1:60 second ratio. No upper limit has been determined for the number of beings she could simultaneously imprint. Upon absorbing another's memories, Rogue also gains any associated emotional responses. Rogue is typically able to control such emotions, however absorbing psyches more powerful than her own results in Rogue’s psyche being supplanted for a short time. Prior to the Sentinel War and her subsequent capture and captivity, Rogue had been working with Charles Xavier to control her powers, but their efforts were met with only limited success.

Because her power is not an 'active' one, during her time with the X-Men she put great effort into being a 'useful' member of the team. This included learning to pilot the Blackbird jet and a handful of other aircraft, and also became proficient enough in a number of fighting styles to lead her own self-defense course at the school. She is able to speak fluent English and French, though her French is heavily accented. She also knows bits and pieces of Russian from spending time with Piotr/Colossus, and some German from having Erik/Magneto as a prominent psyche in her head.
