Rogue grew up in Mississippi. Unlike the voluptuous bombshell Rogue was in the comics, the 15-year-old is insecure and uncertain about her newly found power. She was living with Irene Adler/Destiny until her mutant powers manifested at a school dance. There a boy named Cody asked Rogue for a dance. Reluctant at first, Rogue eventually agreed. By accident Cody tripped knocking him and Rogue to the floor. Cody. When he helped her up he touched her skin and soon his memories began to flood her mind. Confused and frightened, Rogue fled the scene. She ended up in a graveyard and encountered the X-Men who were trying to help. Mystique interfered disguising herself as the X-Men in hopes to fool Rogue into believing the X-Men were dangerous. Rogue was frightened and confused as she kept absorbing the X-Men's memories and powers by accident.

Rogue ran off to live with the Brotherhood of Mutants for a while but was somewhat drawn to the X-Men, mostly through Scott. During a Geology field trip she found out that Mystique was actually Principal Darkholme in disguise. With all the lies Mystique had been telling Rogue she touched Mystique in order to find out the truth. When she did, she left the Brotherhood to join the X-Men realizing Mystique was the real enemy.

She developed a crush on Scott for a while, but knew there would be nothing between them once Jean and Scott confessed feelings for each other. She was also close to Kurt and, despite her cheerfulness, Kitty. Even though she tried Rogue could not escape Mystique. It was revealed that Mystique was Kurt's birth mother, and eventually Rogue's adopted mother making Kurt and Rogue related. It was hard for her to come to terms with this knowledge, but remains close to Kurt.

During the series, Rogue had touched so many people that it started overwhelming her. The X-Men were by her side and helped to contain the many life forces she had taken. They were able to suppress the many personalities, but it left Rogue weak and vunerable. Rogue went under a mutant named Mesmero's mind control soon after, and helped obtain one of the final keys to release a deadly mutant named Apocalypse. Mesmero led her to Apocalypse himself, where he absorbed all of Rogue's powers within her to make himself stronger. Rogue again was left weak and depressed at what she had done fealing guilty for Apocalypse's release and the supposed disappearances of Mystique, Magneto, Professor X, and Storm. Rogue got revenge though with the help of a mutant boy named Leech who could turn off mutant powers. She used her powers to absorb Leech's powers and trap Apocalypse in his own mechanism and defeat him. Finally Rogue had understood her deadly powers could be used for good, and along with Kurt turned their back on Mystique for good.

Rogue's mutant power keeps her from touching other's skin normally. If skin-on-skin contact where to occur she would steal memories, thoughts, personality, skills, and any mutant powers present and be able to use them. Rogue must wear something over her skin in order to prevent her powers from taking other's life force. This is difficult for Rogue because she has to battle many "forces" within her own head. Often she looses her sense of self and struggles to keep them all under control. Her powers also cause her to be isolated from many and prevent close contact with others. Rogue truly yearns to get close to someone without her powers getting in between.
