This is the first of two Round 2 Matchups featuring Rogue, who beat Colossus, 7-3. Wolverine, you'll remember, tied Dazzler in Round One and is looking to scratch out a victory.

After being cast out, he lives in the wilderness among wolves, developing his more primal nature. His identity is more or less complete when Weapon X captures him and fuses unbreakable andamantium onto his bones. | How She Came to Be: | Raised on a hippie commune, Anna's mother disappeared in some hippie foolishness and she was raised by a strict aunt. Rebelling against this autority during puberty, she got all kissy with a boy and drove him into a coma, discovering her mutant ability to absorb life-engery, psyche, and mutant powers from anybody she touches. She was raised to be evil by Mystique (who does that sort of thing), but reformed and joined the X-Men. | | Base of Operations: | New York, Canada, Madripoor, Japan, Hell itself, anywhere he hangs his hat --- a drifter, but Madripoor is probably where he identifies most | Base of Operations: | Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, Salem Center, Westchester, NY; formerly Avengers Mansion, New York City, NY; Utopia, San Francisco Bay, CA; Valle Soleada, CA; Muir Island, Scotland, UK; Cooterman's Creek, Australian Outback, Australia; Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Bay, CA | | Teams/Affiliations: | X-Men, X-Force, Avengers, etc., graviates regular back to the X-Men, but his own guy in the end. | Teams/Affiliations: | X-Men (Jean Grey School member), Avengers Unity Division (leader); formerly Salvagers, Lights (liaison), Advocates Squad, X-Treme X-Men, X.S.E., Brotherhood of Evil Mutants | | Signature Lines: | "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice." | Signature Lines: | "Truth be told, I used to be quite a stinker, but I cleaned up mah act since then." | | Arch-Enemy: | Sabertooth | Arch-Enemy: | Vargas? | | Sidekick(s): | Nope. | Sidekick(s): | None | | Paramour(s): | Mariko Yashida, Jean Grey/Phoenix (unconsummated), Ophelia Sarkissian/Viper (sort of coersed), Doreen Green/Squirrel Girl (implied), Ororo Munroe/Storm. Has also had dalliances with Atsuko, Silverfox, Itsu, Rose (childhood sweetie), Felicia Hardy/Black Cat, Elektra Natchios, Rogue/Anna Marie, Native (good God, really?), Seraph, Yukio, Alison Blaire/Dazzler), Neena Thurman/Domino, and Raven Darkholme/Mystique, just because he lives on the edge. | Paramour(s): | Cody Robbins, Bobby Drake/Iceman, Max Eisenhardt/Magneto, Remy LeBeau/Gambit | | Has Been Played By: | Hugh Jackman, Troye Sivan | Has Been Played By: | Ana Paquin | | Could Have Been Played By: | Jesse Eisenberg | Could Have Been Played By: | Jennifer O'Neill | | Song I Think Of: | "Spider-Man" | Song I Think Of: | "Kiss Me Deadly" | | Supernatural Powers: | Super healing, adamantium-infused skeleton, razor-sharp adamantium claws, fangs, long life, enhanced strength, savage fighting skills, animal-like enhanced sensory abilities. | Supernatural Powers: | Rogue can absorb the powers, energies, memories, knowledge, talents, personality and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another human being (or members of some sentient alien races) through physical contact of her skin with the skin of the other person. This transfer is usually temporary, lasting for a period of time relative to how long contact is maintained, but the transfer may become permanent in certain cases. For example, she absorbed Ms. Marvel's powers permanently. This power can be lethal.
As she has carried Ms. Marvel with her much of her story, this generally gives her super strength, invulnerability and flight at her disposal. | | Non-Super Abilities: | Master of martial arts, excellent with all hand weapons and firearms, but naturally prefers blade weapons. He's like 130 years old so he's had plenty of time to study, and a lot of combat for trial-and-error. He knows your pressure points.
He's an accomplished pilot, and an even more accomplished polyglot, able to gruffly speak English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Spanish, Arabic, and Lakota fluently. He also has some French, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Hindi, and Persian, which just isn't fair. He's a great gymnast and a chess genius, which is a good demonstration that despite him lacking the personality to lead, he sure has the tactical acumen, making him the superhero equivelant of the sort of highly field sargeant on whom battle after battle turns, but is nonetheless seen as "not officer material." | Non-Super Abilities: | She doesn't need too many, but she can drive a bike. | | Stuff: | His main equipment is inside of him, his adamantium skeleton and claws. He mostly travels light apart from that, though he can get his hands on a motorcycle or the X-Men's jet when he needs it. In recent times, he's lost his famed healing factor (don’t worry, he'll get it back) and has worn Peter Parker-devised "Ablation Armor" which can supposedly withstand a radioactive blast. | Stuff: | She's got a bike and a leather jacket. | | Weaknesses: | People love him, but don't like him, so his relationships are all stormy. He's a vicious walking weapon and outlives everybody he loves (and has killed some of them), so he carries the weight of the world on his hairy shoulders. He also seems to bear quite the drinking problem. As much as his healing abilities keep the drink from effecting him during a fight, it isn't clear whether or not it protects him from chemical addiction. | Weaknesses: | Absorbing all these parts of the personalities of others can be confusing and disorienting, and Ann Marie never had a stable personality to begin with. Also, for most of her story, she has no control of her power, leaving her unable to touch anybody without putting the whammy on them. This leads to a heightened alienation and intense frustration at being horny but unable to so much as kiss anybod without them instantly blacking out (at least!). |
