How does Rogue learn to fly and kick ass?

[Enforcer]

Hi, I loved the movies, and used to love the old cartoon show (not the Evolution flavor), but I can't figure out how movie Rogue becomes cartoon show Rogue. That is: how does she learn to be a flying engine of destruction? Something about Marvel Girl?

In the comics Rogue was fighting Ms. Marvel (who had flight, superstrength, toughness). Rogue touched her and, because Mystique, whom she was working with, told her to hang on to Marvel even after she had absorbed her powers and knocked her out. She permanently absorbed Marvel's powers, memories, and personality.

She would have internal personality conflicts and joined the X-men because the Prof. said he could help her with it.

(It's also where the comic version gets her streak of white hair)

Thanks!

Now, was Ms. Marvel a mutant? Or some sort of alien/science experiment/pokemon?

Carol Danvers who was a member of the Avengers

(I knew it would come to me the moment I closed the other screen )

I still have Rogue's first issue sitting in a box someplace. Very cool. It might have changed at some point, but the original explaination was that Ms. Marvel fought back against Rogue so hard she ended up holding on for too long and the transfer was permanent. As well as messing up Rogue in a number of ways that grew worse over time.

I've not read X-men for a few years so this might have changed.

Carol Danvers - Ms Marvel later Binary was also associated with Scotts dad, wasn't she? In the Corsairs?

Binary was in the Starjammers with Corsair (Scott/Alex's dad).

I have no respect for retcons, especially when they are meant to change the moral status of an encounter (see most of X factor and the entire BS Goblin Queen story)... That said, the only addition I'd ever heard to the "fought too hard, permenant backlash when it took" version was the additional tweak of Danver's alien psychology (IIRC, she is half alien or alien templated, or something) which xavier commented on in his initial examination of rogue when she joined the xmen.

(my personal fan fic take on rogue being unable to control her powers is that it is a largely psychological problem, not a power problem, and she would have been better off finding a good therapist instead of a telepath who couldn't help her through all the static...)
