Rogue ’s relative lack of big businessman in theX - Menmoviescould have a few explanations . For one , Rogue being as knock-down as she wasin the comic strip would have made her purpose inX - Menmake far less sentiency . Rogue spends much of the pic being looked after by Wolverine , a story that would n’t make as much sense if she were a major powerhouse .

The line of Rogue ’s powers in the comedian may also play a part in her being underpowered in theX - Menmovies . Many of her pillar powers issue forth from an encounter with Carol Danvers . SinceFox only had the X - Men to work with , it ’s potential they just did n’t have a good explanation for why Rogue would have so many ability . Whatever the reason for allow them out , hopefully , Marvel can admit more of Rogue ’s superpowers if shejoins the MCU ’s ex - man .
