Description
Winner of the "Booty" poll was Rogue for her animated appearance in the old X-Men cartoon from the 90s....how did that get by the censors? Β static.comicvine.com/uploads/oβ¦Related content

the writers and drawers asked themselves "okay, what can we do to attract hormonal, nerdy teenagers, while not calling a shitstorm on us?" and the censors agreed to this, which I'm grateful for.

All the X-Women were hot but how the heck did I miss that shot? X-cellent homage to Rogue's shuggah tush!

I fondly remember that scene in the X-Men cartoon with Apocalypse, with the camera basically spotlighting Rogue's big round butt for viewers everywhere to admire.Β
What a great scene!Β Β Thanks for paying homage to it!

Yes rogue was definitely hot in the 90s series. But whenever Storm was onscreen, rogue too a backseat in my opinion.

Gotta love Rogue's 90s outfit, her best costume by far in my opinion, wish they'd bring it back lol. I also miss her flight, super strength, & invulnerability, as a kid I considered her the Wonder Woman of the Marvel Universe in that regard. I also liked how her extra powers allowed her to fight and win without using her natural power draining mutant abilities, so on those rare occasions when she was in a situation where she literally had to take the gloves off, it was that much more epic!...Also, she could totally kick wolverine's ass >;3

Except that she stole those powers from Ms Marvel...effectively killing Carol for a few years. Though it made Rogue a powerful character is breaks the concept of being a mutant. The powers you have are a burden as well as a boon.Β

Not really in some regards ... being able to have all that power and still not being able to touch or be touched by anyone except with the protection of some sort of cloth or covering seems to still stay within the concept of being a mutant.Β Now, you do have a good point about gaining the powers of another, but it does allow the character to grow a bit in development.

I can't agree wholly. It's not like Rogue was too broke up about power raping Ms Marvel....I don't recall an issue where she's upset about it....just multiple fights between them when carol returned from the dead.
Gaining powers in my opinion is not character development. That comes from the personal journey of the individual....they grow as a person not as a weapon. When they make Wolverine's regeneration so effective that he can heal from a scrap of his body, that getting close to power pornography. Reading stories of heroes who struggle against the odds...or morally...is what makes them fun to read.
Superman being so powerful he can push the earth out of harms way....makes him a boring read to.
Hope this isn't coming of as a rant or some kind of lecture, it's not. I just don't like my heroes getting too powerful.Β

I gotcha.Β I did NOT keep up with the whole thing, but I know with her encounter with Rom: Spaceknight had some sort of impact on her; it was suggested such a noble person like him coming into contact with her might have started her down the right path.
You're are missing the point, dear.Β Put aside how she got the powers ... yes, it was wrong, that we can agree with ... but once you have them and you cannot get rid of them, what do you do?Β Commit suicide?Β From what I have seen of her abilities, the fragmentation of all the memories that she's gained over the years has made things rough.Β Being able to deal with what you have done and what your powers have allowed you to do does put you on a journey.Β Perhaps self-discovery, clarification, possibly redemption.
I gotcha.Β I'm just trying to explain this as a character point, not just on acquiring power.Β

Thanks ... and I do understand yours as well.
I'm not an X-Men expert (yuk-yuk!), but I did keep up with the X-Men throughout the late seventies and early eighties thanks to a friend of mine's brother giving me his collection that went back to the start of the new X-Men and through the Dark Phoenix saga.Β I think I read most of those over and over during the 1980s before selling them all back in the early 1990s to move out of the house.Β I have to admit much of what I know about the X-Men comes from the cartoons these days.Β

That was the problem with a lot of the comics back in the mid-1980s to early 1990s.Β I'd been hearing around that time things were not good for the comic industry.Β I remember at the Comic Box up the street from the Firm, the owner used to worry about the comic industry and sometimes comment about how the stories were loosing a lot of punch.Β When they did "Death of Superman", he really got concerned.

I can understand that. I think DCs Identity Crisis story did both good and bad. It has a great story with real consequences.....and at the same time those consequences had ramifications......if you get my meaning Β

In fairness, I didn't read that so I can't really comment too much on that.Β I think Civil War tried to do that, but I hated the fact the heroes weren't acting like heroes any more.Β That's much of my problem with both comic companies.

Well okay true, but she still had to live with the consequences of what she did and couldn't touch people, not many have it worse than Rogue in the "superpowers are a curse" scenario.

I agree with both sides of this argument. I loved Rogue's stolen powers, but watching X-Men Evo you really can see how here absorption powers were so very powerful. Much more than the Anna Paquin version. I love this 90's version you have done. The costume, as others have shared, is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing it.

Yeah they were. I even remember when they started showing reruns of that Transformers show a few years ago, Beast Wars, but because some of the laws here in Canada changed since it originally aired, they had to change the name of the show because it's now illegal for a show targeted at a child audience to have the word "war" in the title.

Well, remember one of the classic lines from Storm in the first episode:
"Yes, Rogue has a way with men."Β
