Rogue getting the "Cure"

[snwboarder88]

last night i was looking at my xmen 1.5 dvd, i went under the deleted scenes of the one where Storm is talking to Rogue in the classroom. Rogue asked storm if Pro. X. could "Cure" her, so that she would be able to touch and be a normal person...with what we know of x3 right now, she will feel gulilty and angry when she finds iceman and kitty kissing. i think this will push her to the brink where she may end up taking the Cure so that she can either get back at iceman, or be able to have normal relationships with people...what do you guys think? http://www.proboards8.com/v4images/huh.gif

[Electrix]

Yes

[snwboarder88]

haha....nice incite there electirx

[Electrix]

:D

I think Rogue may question it, like Beast will. I think it would be great if there was a scene where Beast is talking to Rogue after he has decided not to take it. Rogue has wanted to be normal for ages but now she has a family where she feels at home.

If Iceman goes off with Shadowcat just because he cant get any then Iceman should be forcefully injected...with the cure.

[snwboarder88]

haha...forcefully injected with the cure...but yeah that would be a cool scene between beast and rogue

[X-Gal123]

Yeah, I agree that a scene between Beast and Rogue would be cool. Or a scene between Angel and Rogue explaining why he left his dad because he grew to love his powers. The coolest scene I believe would be between Rogue and Mystique(Leading in to the foster mom-daughter scenerio). Mystique explaining why after she was given the cure(speculation and storyboards) she's give anything to get her powers back. So it be like Rogue's enemy convincing her what the X-men were all about.

P.S. I had a lot of fun speculating here.

[Electrix]

And so you should

[The Weather God]

lol hey we were on the other forum snwboarder

BTW i think she will come close to getting the cure

[Earthsea]

Rogue wanting to be Cured would not surprise me one bit

[The Original Bamfer]

I would really like it if she developed more of that comic attitude she is known for... And then turn down the cure.

[snwboarder88]

lol hey we were on the other forum snwboarder

BTW i think she will come close to getting the cure

haha...yeah i just joined their today...this is where i am most the time though

[_BB_]

an episode of TAS is coming to mind here....i cant remember it exactly though. Angel goes to some island for a "cure" for his mutation. The doctor that does it is really mystique in disguise and angel is turned into archangel, Rogue also goes for the "cure" but then she rejects it and completely destroys the place. Anyone remember it?

[MoiBijou]

:up:

Yep, it also happened in the comic books but slightly different: a doctor created a machine with a ray that cured mutations. Rogue went to the doctor's laboratory to be cured, but in the very last moment she changed her mind and destroyed the machine.

[_BB_]

Maybe they are taking the cure storyline from whatever issue that was like they did with X2

[X-Gal123]

Yeah, MoiBijou and BB, that sounds about right.

[X-Gal123]

Maybe they are taking the cure storyline from whatever issue that was like they did with X2
That would be cool. Ratner will probably stick close to the comic books because he is a comic book fan.

[_BB_]

angel must have destroyed it then after he was turned into archangel :up:

[snwboarder88]

i hope they do give her this storyline...shes needs to have something to do in x3 haha

[X-Gal123]

i hope they do give her this storyline...shes needs to have something to do in x3 haha
By something to do I asume you mean something to do other than cry, shiver and scream. and if so I agree with you. Bring on the new trailers and May 26:up: :D I want to see what happens.

[snwboarder88]

By something to do I asume you mean something to do other than cry, shiver and scream. and if so I agree with you. Bring on the new trailers and May 26:up: :D I want to see what happens.

Yes because all she has done in the xmen films is cry, shiver, and scream?! well you may be right but its because shes young and scared but that doesnt define who she is...i hate it when people just take rogue as some whiney baby.

[DarthRekal]

...i hate it when people just take rogue as some whiney baby.

you mean shes not!:eek: :confused:

[Kmack]

I could see that happening....

[Majmun]

I believe pretty much the same thing. I think that she will want the cure and will come close to getting it, but then will realize that maybe she is the only one who can stop Magneto and his plans to destroy humanity, so she decides not to get it.

[sebaa]

tht can be true.... but that not rouge from the comics! she not like that!

[The Geek Vault]

What about this Rogue goes to take the cure and then when she's in the office she's like "I don't think I want this" the doctors try to hold her down and she touches one and sees that the cure is really the legacy virus and goes off and warns the other X-men

[The Apocalypse]

I have a feeling that the x-men will have to save her again...

[Majmun]

I have a feeling that the x-men will have to save her again...
I don't know....that seems like it would be too much with all the other stuff that is probably going to be happening.

[the a1ant]

I think they'd be crazy not to explore what Rogue's thought are on this cure. Out of everyone, her story throughout the franchise has built up to this 'cure' moment, IMO.

Personally, I hope she doesn't take it, but if she does, I won't be extremely pi$$ed off, either.

[GNR]

I really hope Leech got the cure because a Leech without prosthetics is just plain lazy.

[tonytr1687]

With mention of a possible cure in both X1 (deleted scene with Rogue and Storm) and X2 (convo between Stryker and Xavier), I wonder if maybe Singer had intentions for a cure storyline as well?

[rogue_devlin]

I think this "cure" thing is yelling a story towards Rogue. There's gotta be a decisive point in which she can obtain the "cure" for her mutation or stay the way she is and be able to make a difference (hopefully) in a group where she feels she belongs now.

[Quing]

If she doesn't at least show some interest in the cure, I'll be extremely disappointed. She was more than a little interested in a cure in the comics, as well as TAS. I think that this page from Uncanny #359 sums it up well.

http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/3821/uncannyxm259xb65au.jpg

In that issue, though, the Dr's assistant ended up being Mystique and she pretty much reminded Rogue what kind of an idiot she was being for giving it all up. Rogue still wanted to take the cure, but the fact that it would most likely be used on other mutants against their will prompted her to instead destroy the machine. Rather angrily.

With all the **** that seems to be cascading down upon Rogue in this movie (the deaths, the cheatings), she's probably going to reach the breaking point sometime. Aiding in destroying the "cure" (which appears to be a medicine kind of thing, so smashing little vials shouldn't be too hard even for this version of Rogue) that she herself wanted so badly moments before would be an interesting way to show that.

[the a1ant]

I loved those issues of Uncanny. Chris Bachalo's (SP?) art was at it's best there, IMO.

[Feyd Rautha]

I love Bachalo's art. A lot of people hate it.

Rogue will be strong and wise enough to not take the cure.

I've said this on the Rogue thread. I feel that now we're in the 3rd movie, Rogue needs to step up and get a more independant role. I liked X2, but one thing I was disappointed in was the lack of development in Rogue after having such a big role in X1.

I got a feeling they'll do a good job wth her this time. I hope they keep that plotline where she takes part in those Brotherhood meetings (much better than a love triangle IMO). However I hope it doesn't lead to her getting rescued again.

[pyromaniac]

I got a feeling they'll do a good job wth her this time. I hope they keep that plotline where she takes part in those Brotherhood meetings (much better than a love triangle IMO). However I hope it doesn't lead to her getting rescued again.

But this love triangle exposes multiple purposes that prompts Iceman, Shadowcat and last of all but not the least Rogue along in their overarching development, and could achieve different affectations, outcomes and explorations in these characters.

Of course, the most obvious being that Rogue has to break away from Iceman, therefore restoring and preserving the 'canonical' aspect of the comics if we want to see Gambit down the line; to see her burgeoning independence and sassy streak; and as far as Iceman and Shadowcat are concerned, other than the introduction and prominence of the latter, they have to have an arc of their own, but because it's the two together, unlike their comical counterparts, I can't see how say, Bobby's infamous prankster nature would emerge here overtly, compared to the more implicit methods.

And as for Kitty Pryde? I do know her powers allow for such that they are going to be original and exhibited in that manner, but are we going to know that she is Jewish in her behaviour... and furthermore, do both Iceman and Shadowcat provide interesting templates for the Cure plot...?

And anyway, if Rogue is going to the Brotherhood meetings, especially with mutual enmity between Magneto and Rogue, she has to have a personal motive in that department, and being a double agent or 'spying' won't fly with Magneto, who'd be just as smart as the professor gives credit to for.

Also - if the subject of this thread is anything to indicate by, Rogue's 'best interests' will conflict with Magneto's unwavering stance, so it won't work.

We'll have to agree to disagree in some areas. But you have some good points. I'm just hoping this triangle wont carry throughout the entire film, otherwise it becomes a little too soapy. But I can see how this can dramatically change the status quo on Rogue. Iceman and Kitty do have a plot of their own, from what I remember from the script review, they along with Beast break in to steal a sample of the cure. So they do seem to share many scenes together.

As for the Brotherhood meetings? Well, it's not clear to why Rogue attends those. My opinion is that she could be secretly spying on them on her own without the Professor's knowledge of it.

No, I know, I actually agree with you on the love triangle plot device: it automatically makes for some soap opera drama or relegated to as such that we don't really need.

(note: okay, I know the Xmen comics are full of those sometimes, but at least they're 'canon' LOL.)

I also hadn't said I agree with the utility of said love triangle plot, but that it might serve a purpose after some contemplation, and after some initial dislike of it, I might add. I still dislike it to some extent, but when it comes to Rogue, this should make for some rather effective characterisation.


As for the Brotherhood meetings? Well, it's not clear to why Rogue attends those. My opinion is that she could be secretly spying on them on her own without the Professor's knowledge of it.

You mean, from a distance? But whatever for? She wants the cure, and Magneto is against it - doesn't make sense. Okay, I'll amend this is still speculation on either of our parts - she doesn't have to 'want' the cure, but be curious about it, and if she wants to know if it provides benefits for her or not, she'd - doubled with the betrayal of her own love life (as well as reflection of her own powers: the fact that she is replaced by Kitty would connote she want, more than ever, need the cure, so she can touch again and be able to have all the kinks of romance that only those capable of physical intimacy can afford) - might be more inclined to look in on Magneto's speeches and debating with herself that the cure may conflict with her actual chances of a 'normal' life. That is, it can't do the job for her; she has to want to lead and maintain a semblance of a life she can control, with or without her powers, and that perhaps may mark the conclusion of her arc.

Yeah. I must admit, when I first read that part on the script (Rogue/Brotherhood meetings) I couldn't quite figure out why she would join (or even spy). Mostly because Magneto tried to sacrifice her in the first film.

This plotline is still a mystery, but I'm definately intrigued...

[phizzul]

i think that the 3rd movie could be a very good movie for devoloping rogue. in the first movie, she was weak and scared she met and fell for iceman and found a home in the xmansion. in the second movie the relationship between the two was fleshed out (still uncertain of herself and her powers)
if we are to judge that from the trailer that there is some sort of relationship with bobby/kitty, then for all we know it was iceman comforting a new friend, imean, she did look upset. it could also be more of a love triangle. either way, this could lead an insecure rogue to get upset. maybe this resentment will lead to her becoming more independent and conseqeuntly, maybe a little cocky and have a bit of an attitude (like in the comics and cartoon)
with more of an independent attitude, and the training of her powers she must have gotten at the school, she would be a lot like the rogue of the comic world.
i really think that a love triangle could advance her character to this point, then (assuming shes not such a bystander in this film) she could suck the powers of plenty of folks, giving her various abilities. she may absorb some of juggernauts powers and do some crazy-powerful moves as a nod to the fans.

im still kinda hoping that she ends up with some sort of permenently-absorbed powers. with the magnitude of the power that she would eventually get (if she gets comic-like powers) its make sense for her to keep physical contact for a long time. she figures that this person is a serious threat and needs to be SERIOUSLY drained.
anyway, at this point, im just rambling. but i would love to hear what you guys think about it.

About Rogue... "it's up to you, sweet... but dildos exist for a reason." :O:D

[The Batman]

I wouldnt. In fact, in her case, i think she should get the cure

[PhePhe112]

lmao! ^^^^

[SuperT]

Yea, it would be very hard to convince someone like her to keep her power. It would be damn near impossible.

I mean, she can never be able to touch someone EVER. Not her husband, not her baby if that's ever possible, no one. That would suck, and if I were her, I'd probably take the cure too.

[The Batman]

lmao! ^^^^

Do you think what i said was funny, or the idea that rogue should get cured?

Cause honestly, i think she should. Not being able to touch anyone would make anyone isolated.

[N_z0]

*hums*

nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomache, diarrhea...

[LEX]

I would knock some sense into her to not get the cure and go fight in the final battle.

[Knives122]

"Touch me here" *points*

[Karea07]

I would tell her help us in the major battle then do whatever the hell you want. :p

[Aiden]

I would tell her what Logan says "I hope you're not doing this just for some boy"

[_BB_]

I agree with The Batman, I wouldnt say anything to her. Her powers are more of a curse than a gift, if I was her knowing that I couldnt touch someone ever again I would gladly take a cure

[N_z0]

I would tell her what Logan says "I hope you're not doing this just for some boy"

Burn bobby drake! Burn! :D

[New Mutant]

I would tell her what Logan says "I hope you're not doing this just for some boy"

He said that? Is that in the trailer, because I missed it....

[Aiden]

No, Showest footage mate

[New Mutant]

I think I'd take the same tack as Storm. I'd tell her that she doesn't need "curing" because she is exactly the way she's SUPPOSED to be. I'd tell her she needs to take a page from Mystique's book and realize that even if she had the ability to blend in with society SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. I'd tell her that she can ALWAYS touch someone if she wants to, even if she can't feel their skin.

In fact, I'd tell her that she's already touched me in ways that no one else ever could, and that if I lost her, I'd never recover.

That's what I'd tell her.

[New Mutant]

No, Showest footage mate

Oo! Lucky-ass YOU! :)

[Aiden]

Lucky ass everyone. Go to the Showest thread. Someone taped it

wow, thats deep :p

[X-Gal123]

I'd tell her to remember that there is no going back. Then I would ask her if she can be happy the rest of her life with giving up a part of her that she would never get back? Changing herself for any reason? Then be like Logan and ask that she wasn't doing this for some cheating guy(not in those words). Finally I would leave her to think and trust her to make the right desicion and do what was best for her not for anyone else.

[Majmun]

"I'll give you a dollar if you don't do it."

or

"I double dog dare you not to do it." Then she'd have to not do it because that is serious stuff.

[Avalanche]

I wouldn't try and stop Rogue getting cured. She's in a very unique situation. She isn't like Storm, or Jean. She can't turn her powers on and off. She can never experience the physical closeness that most other mutants can. She's every right to want to be cured.

[The Kid]

Her powers are a burden so I'd let her get cured. This isn't the cool rogue that wears skin-tight green and yellow and can do superman type stuff, so why not?

[xwolverine2]

what would YOU say to Rogue to stop her getting cured?

me:"dont you watch the WB rogue?......JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS!"
rogue:"OKA--"
me:"-- BESIDES...........you havent got your super strength yet stupid!"

[gap5ewl]

id say wait you need to go pick a fight with this chick named ms. marvel!

id say wait you need to go pick a fight with this chick named ms. marvel!
HELL YEHA!!!

[Bastila]

Well i would say no and tell her shes only had them a short while over time she will get more then what shes got like everyone else and evole her powers

[EnSabahNur]

id slap her and say "Im da Juggernaut B***** " and then shed be like "I'm gonna steel some strength powers and whoop you suga" and then id fight her to the death

[X-Maniac]

id say wait you need to go pick a fight with this chick named ms. marvel!

You know, I actually could envisage a Carol Danvers character... a mutant with superstrength and flight, maybe in a coma under the care of Dr Essex.. I'd rather it were Carol's identity as Binary and not 'Ms Marvel'.. A mutant drawing strength and gravitational power from a source such as the sun or the earth's core (Binary was linked to a 'white hole' as her energy source, a white hole being the energy-emitting opposite side to an energy-sucking black hole). I could quite imagine the Rogue we see in X3 (the tougher, more grown-up version in that clip) being superstrong and having gravitational flight power.

Not that it's going to happen....

[The Infernal]

You're grounded. :p

[JustABill]

''Listen *****. We got your next boyfriend lined up, cut the drama, touch Juggernaut on the ass, suck up all his superstrength, beat the **** out of the brotherhood with us. Still thinking bout gettin cured? Didn't think so!"

Rogue: OK.
Me: Ok.

me:rogue......with great power comes great responsibility.....
rogue:hey!...isnt that from---
me SHUT UP!

[Eros]

I tell her go ahead and do it, no one not wolverine or storm understands whats its like to be like Rogue. So i would tell her yea, and wish her the best with her life. Since is the last moive i think it atleast should all end with Rogue finally being happy.

[Darkie]

Me: Rogue....your powers are awsome :rolleyes: give them to me if u dont want them

[FieryBalrog]

I really wouldn't want her powers though. I think they kinda suck, and not just because she cant have sex. Not being able to have ANY human contact really blows.

[lordofthenerds]

I really wouldn't want her powers though. I think they kinda suck, and not just because she cant have sex. Not being able to have ANY human contact really blows.

She won't get cured, it'd be silly and immature of her to go and run and get cured over Kitty/Bobby. Simon and Zak have both said the film really has the kids grow up and mature.

Her running off and getting cured, would be very immature and counteract this.

well she wont get cured, i guess id say : "you wont do it. i'll kiss you right now"

Yeah, and maybe you could be so kind as to not directly quote something from a scene of the film, that some people don't want spoiled...thanx

Well, you can usually expect what to see by the name of the thread or whatever.

Going by the name of this thread, obviously I didn't expect to see that quote from Wolverine rolled into a seemingly innocent post =/

There's a link to the showest footage and a thread for it, both of which I've stayed well clear of...

[rjb182]

I think Rogue-- the movie version, at least-- probably should get cured. There's just no good reason not to.

Here's where the "mutant cure" plotline, be it in X3 or in Whedon's comic book, kinda falls apart for me: It touches one of those areas where the theme of the X-Men doesn't really apply.

The series is usually seen as an allegory about discrimination, be it racial or anti-gay or whatever. And that's great. Except mutation as seen in the X-Men doesn't *just* make you "different," like any other minority group. In some cases-- like Rogue and the Beast-- it does horrible things to your body and ruins your life.

Of COURSE most people in their spot would want to be cured. If you developed their powers tomorrow, you'd end up wanting to be cured too, no matter how "cool" they seem in theory.

I just don't see any logical scenario under which you'd tell a normal young woman like movie-Rogue "Hey, guess what? Tomorrow we can cure you and you can live a normal life! OR-- you can continue as a pariah and life-essence vampire, living with the constant threat of doing horrible things to anybody who cares enough to touch you." And she'd pick option B. I just don't think it would happen, nor should it.

[Avalanche]

It's not necessarily for Bobby. It's bigger than that. Rogue is never going to be able to have the closeness she desires with anyone, her entire life. I don't think it would be immature to want some closeness at some point in her entire life.

[The Carver]

[FieryBalrog]

Are you kidding me? You would be able to kill somebody by touching them! How isn't that awesome?

You'd also never have a proper family, or experience many human joys. It'd be awesome... for about a week. It's definitely a King Midas type of deal. It'd be awesome if she could control it, but she can't, and even then the tension involved in touching someone she loves would be immense.

[GNR]

go get the cure so we can do the nasty ASAP,come on,how could she not say no,she would be dying for it

[Crowley9]

"I know this guy called Forge. Let's try his way first."

[Arabella]

I think Rogue-- the movie version, at least-- probably should get cured. There's just no good reason not to.

Here's where the "mutant cure" plotline, be it in X3 or in Whedon's comic book, kinda falls apart for me: It touches one of those areas where the theme of the X-Men doesn't really apply.

The series is usually seen as an allegory about discrimination, be it racial or anti-gay or whatever. And that's great. Except mutation as seen in the X-Men doesn't *just* make you "different," like any other minority group. In some cases-- like Rogue and the Beast-- it does horrible things to your body and ruins your life.

Of COURSE most people in their spot would want to be cured. If you developed their powers tomorrow, you'd end up wanting to be cured too, no matter how "cool" they seem in theory.

I just don't see any logical scenario under which you'd tell a normal young woman like movie-Rogue "Hey, guess what? Tomorrow we can cure you and you can live a normal life! OR-- you can continue as a pariah and life-essence vampire, living with the constant threat of doing horrible things to anybody who cares enough to touch you." And she'd pick option B. I just don't think it would happen, nor should it.

I totally agree with you. Some of their abilities would be cool and wonderful to experience but Rogue's powers are truly a curse. To not be able to hug, kiss and feel that special physical connection with someone that you love could cause intense emotional pain that would only increase as the years went by. The sense of isolation would be crippling. If she chooses to keep her powers I hope they explain really well in the movie why because most of us would not want to stay that way if there was a cure.

[NocturnalMadman]

I hate people touching me and I frown on emotions and feelings....ugh!!

I'd LOVE Rogues mutation. Just drop people to the ground whenever they p!ss you off...yes please

[Karea07]

I would probably say the same thing as Wolvie did... from what we've seen so far

[weatherwitch]

I'd say "Suck it up, ya whiney little twerp. You've got this insane power that drains the powers from other mutants and you want to give that up for maybe 6 inches and 2 minutes? Look, Xavier's a genius. Eventually he'll find a way for a full body condom or a collar that supresses powers momentarily, so just chill." *pulls off glove and smacks leather across cheeks old school* :up:

[LadyVader]

The cure has carbs.

[britrogue]

I wouldn't say anything to her. Her power is a curse, and I can't imagine anything worse than not being able to touch anyone. Talk about the embodiment of lonliness......

[Casius--J]

I'd say dont worry baby we can always use condoms and i can bare the pain wen we kiss lol.

[britrogue]

Sex isn't everything you guys! lol

[LadyVader]

Nope. it's just everything that really matters.

:D

[Kira]

I have to agree with you.








:D

[chaseter]

I would do whatever the Surgeon General told me to do.

[LEX]

Nope. it's just everything that really matters.

:D
:p Yeah. It'd be funny if Rogue says to Logan: "But I wanna hump Bobby. What's so hard to understand, hmm?" :eek::D


Sex is always the topic of everyone's conversation on every single day. :O:spidey:

[snwboarder88]

Figured i would bump this up since it seems to be getting talked about again...

The more i think about it...i really think they might cure her. Some great sacrifices are going to be made, and this could be one of them.

[-Æ-]

That should come into play where Bobby is having an affair with Kittie, how old is she like 14? (j/k btw)

[snwboarder88]

looks it...im gonna go with 17 in the movie though

[Octoberist]

If Rogue gets the cure....and stays that way, say goodbye to her relationship with Gambit. Wasn't that the whole point of their romance? A rogue getting with another "Rogue", despite her powers.

[LadyVader]

She won't take the cure out of 3 reasons:
- It doesn't work properly, there's something wrong with it and/or she gets to know Leech and harvesting the drug from him is hurting him and she can't bring herself to do that.
- Professor X teaches her an important lesson about how anything worth having can't come easy so she chooses to try and learn how to control her powers instead of taking the easy way out.
- Like i said before, the cure has carbs and she's on a Fatkins diet.

[CeeJay]

We don't even know if she's even officially taking the cure.

[X-Gal123]

We don't even know if she's even officially taking the cure.
It sounds like she wants to take the cure, talking with Logan and just knowing her character, but as long as they stay true to Rogue's personality in the sense that she decides that she wants to do more good with her powers and decides to keep them. If she takes the cure and is cured for good I'll be very upset and scream.

[Angamb]

Rogue won't be cured, that's clear, she will make her own sacrifice, so...

[LEX]

If she does get the "cure", it'll disappoint a majority of the fans for sure. Don't mess this one up, Ratner. :ghost: She cannot get the cure YET. What about super strength, flight and Gambit? Blah. :o And her true potentials haven't been shown so far. So, why stop there and non-mutantize her?

I don't know, I just have a really strong feeling that she won't get the cure. Of course, she will consider it and go around asking people for few opinions (Storm and Wolverine, according to the trailers). In the end, she'll meet up with someone (Leech? Angel? Sugarman?) and chicken out. :up:

[The Original Bamfer]

The moral of the whole story is that no matter how hard you try to change you, you'll be yourself again... It'll happen with the cure, I bet. I can only see it being temporary.

[Eros]

whats the big deal about Rogue getting cured, it sems like a human decision and anybody would make it. She can't touch anyone ever, and that is very sad. I find it hard to believe any of you serously would trun down the cure if you had rogues powers. That stuff works in the comics , but the general public would never buy that she turned down the cure its silly thing. In rogue case her powers are not a gift it actually is a curse.

[Aiden]

Heres a deleted scene from the first X-Men movie (Courtesy of StormXpress) showing Rogue's desire to be cured.

Thanks, Retro. That was on the DVD, right?

And that is such a god-awful accent... ugh

[Retroman]

Yup, this was on the dvd. The accent is not that bad it's just that it's not sounding very Kenyan. In the scene with Logan (Logan you can't do this alone) its more like how it should have been.

[X-Maniac]

*Scenario to please fanboys*

Rogue takes the cure...it reacts with her own mutation absorption power, sort of cancelling each other out... She is told the next person she touches will be a permanent absorption... she is terrified about who it will be...

Rogue is in Worthington labs, just after having taken the cure... nearby a woman patient lies sleeping..a mutant called Carol Danvers who was a test subject for an early cure serum or for further genetic testing.... She suddenly wakes from a nightmare/sleep and reaches out and grabs Rogue's hand... KA-ZAPPP... Rogue gets her powers for keeps, Danvers goes into a coma or dies...

The reality: Not likely to happen, not with lots of flying mutants and superstrong mutants already in X3 !!!

I don't think Rogue needs the cure. She could just lock up Leech in her bedroom closet.

good scene. I'll never be tired of Rogue! Can't wait for her in X3, I'm sure I'll enjoy her so much, specially seeing her in action, Oh my god! What will she be doing in the final battle? I think she'll surprise all the fans.

[NateGray]

Problem is in comics she doesn't have Ms Marvel's powers anymore.
In the ultimate X-men she absorbed Gambit and his powers.
In X-men she lost Carol Danver's powers and recently absorbed Sunfires to a semi permanent state.
So it seems unlikley we will ever get a super strong semi invulnerable Rogue, Odd's are if we get a powered Rogue at all it will be Sunfire's power's or maybe Gambit's at some point.

In my scenario, replace Carol Danvers with 'Shiro Yoshida' and we then have Sunfire-Rogue..!!!!

The part of my scenario I hope people get is the cure cancellation part.

Leech's power cancels other mutations, Rogue's power cancels them (by absorbing them herself)... thus, as the cure tries to cancel her power, her own power tries to absorb the cure's power in the same way she would absorb that power from Leech himself (the cure being the 'essence' of Leech's power).

Sunfire-Rogue would work better than Ms Marvel-Rogue in many ways...

[Angelus7181]

I believe super strength/flying Rogue is more popular then any other cooked up Rogue version.

[Halcohol]

I wouldn't say more popular, but it's the version most people are familiar with, because of the long time in the comics she had the powers, not to mention TAS

[Angelus7181]

Basicly everyone wants to see her toughen up and spice up her additude.. plus gain her super strength and flight abilities. I don't see much of any praising for the other washed down versions of Rogue.. well there are a few that stand by the Evolution Rogue but the series didn't last as long as TAS that aired on FOX.. Which basicly is the poor attempt of the movie version everyone seems to put down on.

[Aiden]

I think that the easiest way would possibly be having Rogue take the cure. It has a reverse reaction and gives Superstrength and whatnot

I have no problem with the Rogue we have so seen so far... and X3 may bring us a much tougher Rogue anyway...

[X-Gal123]

Yeah she probably will be stronger emotionally. I'm okay with her getting new powers temorarily, but I don't want to see her get new powers permenately.

[X-Maniac]

We might well see her 'borrow' other people's powers, especially those of villains she can get near...

Who knows what they have in store? I'm not going to do any wild guessing - no real point when the actual answers will be before us in less than two months...

Well you might not do wild guessing, but I'll do a little. I think in the final battle she will take Juggernaut's powers and maybe Multiple Man's powers so she will be able to overpower the Brotherhood when the X-men are weak because they were fighting a lot. My final prediction, in this post, is that Rogue will make it to the place where they are giving the cure then go to the battle field after everyone thinks she has lost her powers and surprise them.

[CapBeerCino]

I think in the final battle she will take Juggernaut's powers

That could make such a cool scene! (It was in Evolution)

[Angamb]

I though maybe Rogue could absorve Pyro's powers, like a continuation of X2... it could be a big possibility, although I'd like she absorve Juggernaut and others powers too, but I think this can happen...

[X-Gal123]

I though maybe Rogue could absorve Pyro's powers, like a continuation of X2... it could be a big possibility, although I'd like she absorve Juggernaut and others powers too, but I think this can happen...
Personally I think that Rogue will not re-take anyone's powers that she has already taken unless she needs to,like if she is dying and Logan gives her his powers.

[FieryBalrog]

Rogue should take the cure, I would if I was her.

But she should kick some ass first.

[CapBeerCino]

Rogue should take the cure, I would if I was her.

I would too. The movieverse Rogue cant even fly, no reason to keep her power...

[Angelus7181]

I have no problem with the Rogue we have so seen so far... and X3 may bring us a much tougher Rogue anyway...

Well I do.. she is weak and whiney compared to the Rogue I grew up knowing as a kid. I see them taking the character with baby steps building her into the more confident and powerful Rogue.

The scene where she was about to confront Magneto and Mystique due to the hair comment in the X-Jet was great.. I'm sure X3 will make her cut loose. :O

[ljr]

I hope so but the more foootage I see of the last battle and the lack of rogue is making get angry-if she has to go through yet another film without being able to show what she can do with her powers,I am going to be MAJORLY PO-ED.

[snwboarder88]

I wouldnt say another movie...

In x1 her character was just understanding her powers, i can see why she wasnt flying and had super strength. (which is not really her powers, only ones she received from ms. marvel.) She was young and innocent.

In x2, she did kind of get shafted, but then again, who didnt? It was nice to see her and bobby get some development with their relationship, and she also got that scene where she stoped all of pyros fire, so she did help a lot there also.

In x3, she will be a lot more in tune with her powers, shes older, more mature now. They also have a big story arc for her, with the cure, so i bet she has a lot to do in x3.

And remember what Kingberg said over at the xverse...her scenes are to SPOILERISH!!

[britrogue]

I'm still hoping for her powers to counter-react with Leech, mutating her further into Uber Rogue.

[Angelus7181]

Do any of you think there is a chance they might want Rogue in any of the planned spin offs?

[flavio_lebeau]

i think the most likely "borrowing" act for Rogue so far is Colossus. They team up in the danger room, so...
maybe some huge debris is about to fall upon her, then she quickly absorbs him and get to metal form. Though that woudlnt be as great as if she was absorbing Juggernaut and doing some big damage, it might look good to have metaled up Rogue for a second...(thats why i think her action scenes are spoilerish, metaled Rogue)
but i have my fingers crossed that she wiil show up on the final battle and touch Juggs, Phoenix and maybe Storm :o ok at least one of them would already be great.

it would be cool if we got the metaled up rogue in the dr. Can she absorb colossus's power when he is metaled up?

Also, for the fellow who thought maybe rogue got her powers in the lab. Maybe she happens to be in the lab when a certain chase scene is happening and saves a certain homewrecker from a certain guy that can smash through walls (and in the process gets his power!)

[flavio_lebeau]

Juggarnaut isn't a mutant, rogue can't take his powers

[flavio_lebeau]

Juggarnaut isn't a mutant, rogue can't take his powers
he is in the movies.

[migs]

Juggarnaut isn't a mutant, rogue can't take his powers

i thought she could take his powers. She takes people's life energy or whatever and I thought that included his mystical power. Besides, he'll be a mutant in this movie, mostly so they don't have to involve some insane cosmic force. Same reason the dark phoenix will just be a manifestation of jean grey's powers rather than a cosmic entity.


Rogue is a mutant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_%28fictional%29) with the ability to temporarily absorb the memories, thoughts, and abilities (including superhuman abilities) of others via skin-to-skin contact. This transference usually causes the victim to fall unconscious and/or become weakened, but it can kill if it is prolonged. The duration of this drain varies according to the length of time that the contact is maintained; the generally accepted ratio is 60 seconds of absorbed abilities for every 1 second of skin-to-skin contact. Prolonged contact also can result in a permanent impression of the template she absorbed.
(wikipedia)

[Storm22]

I've just thought of this - didn't Kinberg/Penn say something like it'd be cool for Rogue to absorb multiple powers in furure movies? Now if the writers say that, isn't that a bit of a hint that Rogue might decide against taking the cure in this movie?!

[eXperiment]

Hopefully she won't get the cure.

[LEX]

I'd hate it if she does take the cure. What, that wasn't in the comics. :ghost: No cure for Rogue. :down

[Son Of Logan]

I don't think we're gonna see Rogue getting the cure. We'll see her deeply considering it and the drama will increase as she leans more and more toward getting it, but eventually she will decide against it.

[LEX]

Yeah, that's what I think, too. And someone may talk her out of it (Angel?). Fox better not mess this up.

[Son Of Logan]

I really can't see her taking it. If Fox continues the series with a new arc it's gonna really hinge on the younger members of the cast who are not as big name actors as Hugh, Patrick, and Halle.

It will be horrible if rogue take the cure. It'll be worst move ever. Since the big names probably won't be comming back X4 will be centered on the X-kids. I was hoping she'll get her super strength in the last battle. That she'll some how get a whole on juggernaut. But if she does take a cure in the movie I don't know what I'll. Just thinking about it gets me up in a knot.:mad:

I think the memorial scene is at the beginning of the movie. Storm is wearing the same thing at the memorial when she hugged Leech and wearing the same thing where she was talking to Beast, Wolverine and Xavier. So, I think it's the beginning of the film.

[lordofthenerds]

We don't know that though. Bobby and Kitty are holding hands and they would have to have already built up a relationship to do that. Also

The memorial service can't be at the beginning of x3,kinberg said x3 takes place about 7-8 months after x2.So why would they hold a memorial service then,unless it's a flash back and what would be the point.No the service has to be either scott or xavier,it can't be at the end-cause the relationship btw rogue and bobby would have been resolved by then.

yes, i like that one... because there was a leakd picture bobby holding both rogues and kittys hands and rogue was wearing gloves... it means she hasnt taken the cure yet?! :confused:

I don't think she takes the cure,but my point is-if it were at the end she would either have broken up with bobby or they have sorted out their problems(please god break them up),so she wouldn't be looking at them as if she is going to rip their heads off.
