Rogue was one of the very first female villains I was exposed to in the Marvel Universe. I had picked up a backissue of Dazzler sometime in the late 80s and was obsessed with this green-suited young woman causing chaos. I picked up all her early appearances in books like Avengers and ROM Spaceknight and couldn't get enough. I thought it was great when she came to the good side and joined the X-Men, but I think I was the only fan that wasn't on board with her transformation into a sexpot in the 90s. It just seemed too out of character to me. But that popularity is why we get so many cool toys of her, so I try to embrace it. A first appearance Rogue has been on my Marvel Legends wishlist for many years, and so has Destiny. So this 2-Pack is like a dream to me. The Rogue figure isn't perfect. I find her hair especially baffling. In this era, she always had two white streaks coming off her temples (often curling up in little Quicksilver-esque whisps). This slicked-back center streak just looks odd and a little boring to me.
I may attempt a fun custom later if I can pick up an extra figure cheaply. She's a cool figure, but in my opinion the inaccurate hair is keeping her from being great. Let's check out First Appearance Rogue below!
Rogue come with two sets of hands.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Rogue with her pack-mate (and Stepmother), Destiny.
And here they are with Mystique (2019) to complete the family reunion.
And with two other green Rogues: Legacy Rogue and Outback Rogue.
Cheers!
