Quick Bio: Rogue was born Anne Marie (last name unknown) and was raised by her Aunt Carrie after tragedy struck her parents.  Young Rogue ran away from home at a young age and was taken in by Mystique and Irene Adler (Destiny).  She discovered her powers while kissing her then boyfriend and she gained his memories. This made her realize she could not be around "normal" people and she joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.  During her first mission with the Brotherhood she permanantly absorbed the powers of Ms. Marvel.  This upset Rogue because she couldn't control her abilities and she turned to the X-Men and Charles Xavier for help.

Other Interesting Note: Fell in love with Gambit even though they could not touch.  They later sought telepathic therapy with Emma Frost to help with this.

Rogue was portrayed by Anna Paquin in the first three X-Men films as well as Days of Future Past
