Comics Rogue's non-control of her powers

[ghost113]

Maybe I was hars with the whole pathetic thing but other characters have gone through worse and they don't freak out except wither, he just ran away.

If the animal has fur than I'm sure there would be no absorbtion.

If Rogue and Cyclops can't ever control their powers than for now their only solution is to wear a device that turns off their powers for when their not in battles. I don't know why writers at Marvel don't consider this for them.

I don't know maybe there just allowing it to make it dramatic. With all the various writers taking on the task of wrting this series they probably thought of that a long time ago.

I dont get how everyone can have a power inhibitor but Xavier can't get Rogue that looks like a bracelet or necklace

I'm suprised beast or Forge didn't build one they could have easily done it.

Part of what makes Rogue Rogue is the fact that she can't control her powers. It is her flaw and what often appeals to people. Giving her a way to contorl her powers may make her a useful character but would possibly lower her appeal. I think rather than give her a power inhibitor she should learn to control her powers, which should have started along time ago.

 

[ghost113]

That too, she has been an x-men for years now has anyone sat her down and said maybe we should learn how to control your powers better.

There is the thought that she could have learned to control the absorbtion on her own from being around those that have learned to control their powers, such as from hearing and working on her own, but that just still says that she could learn, that she is NOT incapable of control. And to those that say "it's her emotions, she can't control her emotions"(bloody whiners), I'm sorry didn't Bruce Banner learn to control his emotions to combine and control the Hulk persona in his psyche. , The vast majority of the 90's Hulk comics had this in them, hell, he and Betsy got married after he learned to control himself(I had the mini comic about it).

its the same thing with wolverine, the prof never was able to restore his memories, you also have to keep in mind that, it wouldnt be that simple,the prof doesnt know everything, even though they write him as he does, i know he doesnt know how to deal with everything, its like when emma help iceman with that hole in his chest, he had to do it on his own, if rogue cant do it, then thats all that left, no one else can do it but her

of course xavier helped her, he gave her GLOVES DAMMIT

ruby quarts shades are to cyclops as gloves are to rogue...




he sorted her out in like 10 seconds, no probs...

besides, i think xavier is more about acceptance rather than anything else and i don't think she had anywhere else to go, hence why she was taken in...

Yeah.. I think he wants his X-Men to learn to accept their powers and use them responsibly. Just sticking an artificial control on them to control a part of themselves just seems a bit dodgy unless it is essential for saving lives.

I never got why Nightcrawler had an image inducer... to me it seemed like it stood against everything that the X-Men stand for. Its the equivalent of back when there was all the civil rights movements for equal oportunities for black people, giving all the black people image inducers so that they could all look white too.

Good point! lol image iducers for black folk it does have a cop-out element to it.

i agree. i don't think there is anything that she can do within her own psyche that will help to better control her powers. the skin to skin contact has to do with her makeup on the molecular level. the times that she has been able to enjoy the feel of anothers skin has been when her powers were lost/weakend by external forces. other than that, the only instrument Xavier could offer her was the use of gloves.

One would asume that people would have different veines of thought and not merely agree with whatever another tells them like blind little lemmings. I believe that if Xavier were to spend more time training her and less time acting the "tragic hero" (woe is me, my best friend tried to kill me and left me in a wheel chair for the rest of my tragic life, pity and revere me) maybe she might have a small nuance of control. In the beginings of the comics, he acctually helped people, but by the time Rogue came around, all he seemed (in my opinion) to want was people to worship him while he "gave" them a place to "be welcomed", but he stopped helping anyone.
