Rogue
HERO NAME: Rogue
REAL NAME: Unknown (I missed the most current issues so I don't know if
Rogue's real name is known in the ultimate series or not.)
QUOTE:"Great, now I'm an X-Men. Do I get the official shirt?"
OCCUPATION: Reluctant Student
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Xavier Institute of Higher Learning, Westchester
PERSONALITY: Rogue is a highly scared teenager and in her case with good
reason. She is affraid of of humanity in itself as she was tortured and
brainwashed by humans in the weapon X programm. She also scared of her own
powers which make intimate contact to other human beings totaly impossible.
This combined fear makes her act angry and aggressive in many situations to
mask her feelings and protect her from a world that didn't show any kindness
to her. She still has a hard time to believe that there can be peace between
humanity and mutants or that the x-men serve any purpose. Still Professoor
Xavier prevented her from going to jail after the Ultimate War and she feels
a certain loyality to Wolverine and a strong friendship to nightcrawler who
both suffered from Weapon X with her.
The most simple statement from Rogue to describe her attitude was:
"I completed the mission so won't you break my legs this time then I
return?"
from her time at Weapon X. She is not used to the world giving her any
kindness but is quite surprised then it is shown to her and thankfull enough
to make sure she will become loyal to the X-Men with time.
BASIC POWERS & TACTICS: Rogue's only power is to absorb the abilities of
others. Unlike in the original Marvel Universe the Ultimate Rogue is neither
scared to use this power nor does she have trouble controlling it. Once she
has touched someone she gets the skill to use their powers together with all
their other abilities, which she demonstrated most impressively then she
took out Cyclops with a mental attack after absorbing Jean Grey's powers and
her knowledge about Scott's most intimate fears.
In combat Rogue will try to touch one opponent as soon as possible, taking
him out and using his powers against his allies. Failing that option she
also sometimes absorbs the powers of her own teammates if they are allready
unconcious from an enemy attack.
BACKGROUND: Rogue has been abducted, tortured and brainwashed by Weapon X.
Her furtherst memories are of mutant prisoners being shot on the wall and
Weapon X experiments. She helped them attack and capture the X-Men as
ordered. Then the project was brought down by them she flatly laughed in
their faces at the offer to join the team. She took of with her former
teammate Sabertooth and the two of them ended up joining the Brotherhood
after Magnetos return in the Ultimate War. Roguewas participating in
terrorist attacks for the brotherhood and only Xaviers intervention
prevented her from going to prison for terrorism and murder. His deal with
Nich Fury after the ultimate war allowed him to take charge of her since she
was not yet 18 and not fully responsible for her deeds.

My two cents about Rogue so that all of you other X-Men players know what you're dealing with.
