Nute Gunray Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 not the movie, i don't think, but a comic question. You see, my favorite character is Rogue (followed shortly by Shadowcat). I've never read any X-Men comic or anything beyond watching the cartoon back in the mid-90s and watching X-Men Evolution every night. Whilst reading up on the various Marvel character bios earlier, I was presented with this picture of Rogue: For some reason, I really like this costume design more than any of the other things I've seen them have Rogue running around in. So my question would be: what series is this from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I think that might just be a costume redesign. I could be dead wrong, but I've seen it in promotional ads and stuff and never in comic form. It might be. I'll look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 It looks kinda like her Evolution costume, only with yellow instead of green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 It also looks like everyone else's costumes in Ultimate X-Men, but I'm told Rogue doesn't appear in those comics. It also appears that that picture appeared on the cover of a Rogue miniseries in 2001 that sucked. That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lujayne Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I've never seen her wear anything like that in the comics. But then again, I haven't read any X-Men comics for about a year or two now... -___- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benTantilles Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 yeah, that's a pretty cool pic of rogue, nute. personally, tho, my favourite rogue appearance was of her in the 'Rogue in shower (with movable taps and real liquid!)' action figure.... damn, she's hot!

Jem Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I `ll always go for the classic one... I find it much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 That's the best Rogue. She's 'partying' with someone I forget the name of. it's mystique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Mystique's alias in that form is "Risty," I believe. Personally, I prefer the "X-Grrrls" version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 <3 rogue and kitty At first, I hated Evolution but then it grew on me. I like how Rogue doesn't have all the stolen powers and only has her one power. It always seemed to me that they didn't know what to do with Rogue, so they made her fly and be invulnerable. The Evolution version that takes someone's power all the time is much better. Though, I must say I find myself being an, uh, armchair Professor X and yelling at them all the time, such as "kitty should just phase her hand into Magneto's brain and **** **** up!", "why don't you just stab Sabretooth in the face already." or, in the case of Iceman, "the silver surfer called. he wants his gimmick back." And in spyke's case "why doesn't he just go away. YOU SUCK SPYKE." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Gnarly Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Im pretty sure its Ultimate X-Men because if you look at the style: Its very similiar It cant be from anything before Uncanny X-men becaus ethe colors where dimmer. Ill try to get back to you ASAP on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Beastie Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Originally posted by Nute Gunray "why don't you just stab Sabretooth in the face already." Yeah. That'll . . . slow him down and p*ss him off. Healing factor. or, in the case of Iceman, "the silver surfer called. he wants his gimmick back." Actually, it's Iceman's gimmick --he was using it back in the 80s in Spiderman and his Amazing Friends (the one with Firestar, Iceman, and Spidey having a tricked-out secret lair in Parker's room ).

Nute Gunray Posted July 8, 2003 Author Share Posted July 8, 2003 Does Iceman's "i'm riding around on ice" predate the Silver Surfer? I always hated both so i have no idea. I've always found Wolverine and Sabretooth's "i can heal myself" stuff to be over-rated. I have my doubts that a face stabbing and subsequent decapitation is within their ability to heal.

edlib Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Well, the Silver Surfer came out of the '60's, back when surfing first became a fixure in pop-culture. http://marvelite.prohosting.com/surfer/history/index.html So my wildest guess is that the Silver Surfer was first.

Redwing Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I second the ick. o.O; Now I'm curious, though, does Wolvie have his admantium skeleton back in the current comics? I'm terrible at keeping up ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Shutt Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I believe he does. Which is worth knowing. With Greg Rucka and Darick Robertson taking over, Wolverine's solo title is about to become readable for the first time in... probably ever. And Iceman was part of the original X-Men lineup, and is therefore also a product of the sixties. I'm still pretty sure the Surfer was first, though.

Lujayne Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Larry Hama sucks ass. I used to really enjoy his Wolvie stories. Even the "losing the adamantium bit" was a pretty cool idea, at first, but then it just got way outta hand. If they had somehow givien it right back to him, a few issues later, all would have been well. The whole "feral Wolverine" thing was retarded. And the worst, worst move made by Larry, and where I lost all faith in him, was that stupid "bone claws" deal. -__- It's one thing to be experimented on by some government and implanted with razor sharp knives as weapons, it's another thing to be apparently born with a couple sets of super-sharp bones that reside, for some reason, sheathed in your forearms that you can pop out at will. That's just a little too unbelievable, even for me. It was believable when his only mutation was a healing factor. And that his healing factor was the reason for him getting the claws and skeleton. That whole thing just really pissed me off, and that's the point where I stopped reading Wolvie and X-Men. ¬_¬ Err, so, how did he get the adamantium back, then?

C Shutt Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I couldn't tell you, I think it happened during my own sabbatical from reading Marvel comics, although it was The Clone Saga and all its acompanying wretchedness which drove me away. I think it may have had something to do with Apocalypse, but don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lujayne Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 "Clone"...? O__o Damn, I really did miss a lot, and that one doesn't sound promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Shutt Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 This was a Spider-Man story, not X-Men. The Spider-Man who had been appearing in the Spider titles since the mid 70s was revealed to actually be a clone. The convoluted mess of a story that ensued dragged on for years, ending with the resurrection of Spider-Man's best villain, the Green Goblin. Completely cheapening his excellent death in the process. Horrible, horrible stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benTantilles Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Nute- that pic of rogue u have at the starter post of this thread belongs to marvels's RECHARGE collectible card game...caught sight of it when reading my cousin's brotherhood #4 comic. i think the costume was especially created for the deck of cards alone.... btw, they've got some pretty hot pictures of jean, psylocke & storm as well. i like x-men, but i don't read the comics...just watch the movies & the evolution series (which i think kix ass). less complicated...

GUNNER Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 The best X-MEN ever have to be back in the early 80s. Back beforethere was a rouge,gambit and what not. The artistry was awesome. John Byrne(sp) and Chris Clarmont(sp) did alot of it. I have just about all the comics from 1980-1986. And even some earlier ones. I'm not a very big fan of all the spin off series as well all thought I did start to collect them just so I could have them. One of the best was when the fought Proteus. Moria McTaggerts son. That one was a great series. Think is was # 128-130 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
