These include her visit to see Cody, her flying to save Gambit and help him fight in an attack by the Assassins, and her journey to find and take back Cody and Gambit after Bella has kidnapped them. I completely agree that she is a clothed, strong, and fierce super heroine who gets the job done, but I also feel that her motives are mostly driven by the need to help the men love interests in her life.elizabeth manzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438139193416977062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-3935098347863807032011-09-25T11:29:39.731-07:002011-09-25T11:29:39.731-07:00Rogue did seem empowering, and the comic reversed ...Rogue did seem empowering, and the comic reversed some gender roles, but it took away her sexuality completely. It was nice not to get a booty shot in the comic, but she was a little too covered up. When she kisses Cody she sends him into a coma and is essentially punished for kissing him. I'm not sure if this can truly be considered female empowerment since she doesn't feel like having a relationship is a choice.ArielleC4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237593456061736839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-22974941562830305232011-09-24T20:54:06.060-07:002011-09-24T20:54:06.060-07:00I was first introduced to Rogue in the first X-Men...I was first introduced to Rogue in the first X-Men movie- but she seems to me to be a very different character in the movie than in this comic. In the movie, she is much less independent and strong, but actually is the damsel in distress needing to be saved. I much prefer this Rogue. It was a nice surprise to see her portrayed like this because I didn't expect it. I agree with you that in the comic, she really is the perfect superheroine.mdassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867583177732873832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-28444614773483335092011-09-24T17:41:57.336-07:002011-09-24T17:41:57.336-07:00I agree that this comic had the most empowered wom...I agree that this comic had the most empowered women out of all the comic books we read. However, one thing never changes; a woman always has a man or men that she is physically or emotionally involved with. While Rogue is a very independent superheroine, the whole comic is about her fighting for the men she loves. However, I will admit that love and relationships in a story make it more entertaining. I really enjoyed Rogue and a big part of me enjoying it was because of Rogue's relationships.Michele Rizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279707541214700508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-3202070797447799512011-09-24T13:06:20.396-07:002011-09-24T13:06:20.396-07:00I agree with you!

She also did not have that manly figure that superheroines usually have to rely on; she is extremely independent. I especially like that her attire is not revealing at all because it shows that a woman doesn't need to be showing it all to be considered feminine.Veronica Dagostinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079086515616226671noreply@blogger.com
