I've always liked Rogue. From the first time I noticed her in 80s back issues, she intrigued and fascinated me. But X-Men the Animated Series launched her into a superstardom I never would have predicted. I wasn't the biggest fan of the show honestly. Don't get me wrong, I taped most episodes and watched them dozens of times. But even at that young age I found myself very critical of the tone and characterization and soon my interest waned completely. Now, as an adult, I have had a certain sentiment expressed to me surprisingly often. It usually happens when someone is viewing my toy collection. I hear "My favorite toy in my childhood was Rogue. She was awesome. I loved that show." I hear it from men and women of a variety of ages and it's been said upwards of a dozen times. I actually plan to watch the show before X-Men '97 (a direct continuation of the original series) debuts on Disney+ next year and I hope to finally share their awe. Let's check out X-Men '97 Rogue below!
Rogue's only accessory is an extra pair of hands (with her alternate Left hand holding the unsheathed glove).
There aren't many images from the upcoming X-Men '97 show yet. Actually the toy packaging is the best look at character design we've seen so far. This image below was posted on a lot of articles when the series was announced.
From Left to Right: Vintage Card Rogue (2020), X-Men '97 Rogue (2023), and Juggernaut Series Rogue (2016).
Cheers!
