Rogue
The mutant known as Rogue has the uncontrollable ability of absorbing the energy of others through physical contact, temporarily incorporating their abilities, powers, memories and even personality with a touch, a process which wears her victims out.[14] A runaway,[15] Rogue was found and adopted by mutant terrorists Mystique and Destiny.[16][17] She had her abilities traumatically activated when she shared her first kiss with a boy and put him into a coma.[18] As part of Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Rogue accidentally learned from Destiny that the super-heroine Ms. Marvel was destined to bring tragedy to their life. Deciding to secretly attack Ms. Marvel, Rogue unexpectedly absorbed her entire persona, permanently keeping not only her flight and super-strength powers but also her psyche.[19][14] Gravely affected by this experience, Rogue had no choice but to seek help with Mystique's enemy, Professor Charles Xavier, founder and leader of the X-Men. Contrary to other members' disapproval, Xavier took Rogue in as part of the team.[20]
Rogue has the ability to absorb the life force, memories, personality, abilities and powers of other living beings through direct contact though the ability to do so is only temporary. The longer she spends in contact, the longer she retains and expands the absorbed powers. If the contact lasts for a long time it can leave its victim in a coma or possibly kill them. She can possess the powers of several superhuman people at the same time. No upper limit has yet been determined for the number of superhuman beings whose power she can simultaneously hold, or for the amount of power she can absorb such as when there was no limit to Fred's strength once Rogue absorbed his powers.
