Rogue as a goth

The comics version never sat well with me, because of her having super strength and flight, like nearly half of all Marvel superheroes. Put more emphasis on her absorption power; don't degenerate her into a super-strong brute. And also, portraying her as a goth does seem a lot more realistic for a teenage version than reacting to one of the most tragic events of her life with bad catchphrases ('sugar') and the embodiment of a brutish Southern stereotype.

I loved Evolution Rogue.

I have to agree with you there. Where Evolution Rogue and Original Rogue have a hard time dealing with their powers, they don't go on sulking about it. That's very annoying in the movies. Anna Paquin's like: "Ommigod I can't touch anyone, misery misery misery," all the time. While the other 2 versions are more like: "It sucks I can't touch anyone. What's for dinner?" Which I find a lot less annoying :)

Personnally the best way I see Rogue, is as a Goth. She can't be just like Kitty, and happy and lovely and a preppy because of her powers. I think this way to made her like that is the best was to make us understand how she has to deal with it.

When they first introduced her, she was. The white streaks were along the sides like Reed Richards, and she had a very mature (as in middle-aged) face. Each time I pick up a comic book or watch a show or movie with Rogue in it, it seems like she's ten years younger than she was the last time I saw her. It's going to suck for Professor X when he has to change her nappies. In this show, however, it wasn't so bad because she was the same age as the rest of the class, who were all regressed to teenagers.

As for her goth/punk look and isolationist personality, I was always hot for girls like that when I was a teenager. But moreover, I thought it befit her issues. It was almost like a defence mechanism. If you don't want to be touched, make people not want to touch you.

That episode where Rogue seduced the security guard made me absoltly sick the frist time I saw it and it reminds me how much I truly hate her character, I mean all that did was show how much of a filthy,brain dead,whore she can be. She could have come up with a better way of dealing with the guard other then putting him in a coma and show complete disreguard for his fellings, I mean how would she feel if she was in his position, but no she takes the easy way out, caues she is just too stupid to use her small brain to come up with a better plan, and on top of that lets not forget the horrible way she treats Gambit especily in the episode where Cody comes back and Rogue can tough him and all of the sudden she becomes a complete bitch to everyone especily Gambit then at the end of the episode when Cody leaves her Gambit lets her cry on his shoulder as if the way she acted before didn't mater, he should have at least gotten an apology but no nothing , and it serves the bitch right for horrible way she treats men. She deserves the most horrific kind of torture imaginable.

In animated world of DC there are female characters that find much kinder and mauture ways to get what they want, for example in the begining of an episode of Superman:tas (Where There's Smoke...)a villainess by the name of Volcana talks a guard into leting her on a yacht and he dose then she gives him a nice little kiss on the cheek and thats all, she didn't have to knock him out or nothing, that just comes to show you that in the DC world even villains find better ways of getting what they want with out anyone getting hurt.

I concur wholeheartedly. This is far and away my favourite rendition of Rogue EVAH. The creators really got you sympathising with her and what she was going through, and as has been noted by others, her behaviour seems quite natural for the age she's supposed to be here. Also I gotta give kudos to Meghan Black for making Rogue's pathos sound that much more realistic.
