The young woman known only as Rogue joined the X-Men to learn to control the genetic attributes that are both her blessing and her curse -- namely, the power to absorb others' memories and talents through touch. Tragically, she still has not mastered this power, and so is forced to keep those she loves most at arm's length.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Early on, I used Rogue for her Might and Flight. But in later levels, I didn't find too much use for her except maybe having the AI control her as a melee fighter. I built up her Flight and Might early on because that's what I needed. I never really used her Ability Drain, because I would use Iceman or Jean if I needed to stun any baddies. Her Southern Strike is useful in taking down early bosses quickly. I never used her Bulletproof much, but the AI does use it often in melee fights. The biggest reason I used her early on was for my comic geekiness and constantly using her and Wolverine's "Fastball Special" attack. It doesn't do much damage, but it's FUN to be able to do it. Since she's mostly a melee fighter I put points in her Strike more than anything else.
