Rogue gets quite the going over in today's X-Men Age Of Revelation comic books, specifically Unbreakable X-Men #1 by Gail Simone, Lucas Werneck and Rogue Storm #1 by Murewa Ayodele, Roland Boschi. As it seems that Rogue has had a bit of a splintering.
First, five years from the present date, as the Age Of Revelation spreads out across the globe, Rogue gets transformed into two separate beings.
And it seems that only one of them can have Gambit.
And a couple of years later, Main Rogue is still active and running her X-Men team, froim the Haven House, outside of Revelation's influence. But it does mean that there are two of them now.
As Rogue goes toe to toe with Galactus.
Absorbing everything of this cosmic being as she can, with her new cosmic experience
And it's not good news.
But even as Gambit stands there, looking at the giant corpse of Rogue, left in the wake of the battle…
… is it worth someone like, I dunno, Storm telling him that there is another Rogue out there who still lives?
While the impact of the X-Virus has continued to roll out, with various character, mutant and non-mutant, transformed along the way. That's if they survived of course. Iron & Frost #1 by Cavan Scott, Ruairi Coleman is set before all this, with Revelation and his pet mutants fighting the Avengers…
While Sinister's Six #1 by David Marquez and Rafael Loureiro gives us Felicia Day, the Black Cat…
Domino, looking more like the Deadpool 2 version… or possiblly Nightcrawler.
Lady Fantomex is talking like Deadpool…
And Omega Red is in a bad way, it seems.
And while some of the humans do their best not to be exposed to the X-Virus…
Some are more effective than others. That does seem to be a very fast acting virus after all… so what's better than a mask?
How about entire isolation for the human kids? And while it's not great news for the many Firestar fans out there, who are rather vocal online…
Emma Frost only managed to survive an attack by Marrow by staying in her diamond form forever.
And so while Mister Sinister is running the conspiracy theory as well as Magneto that, rather that 3K being respoinsible for releasing the human killing, mutant transforming X-virus, that it was made in a very different lab indeed.
Well, we know that Doug Ramsey, Revelation himself, is targeted for this. Do we think he… talked to the viruses? He's not the only one looking into the X-Virus of course.
And so while Revelation is looking to remake the world in his image, quite literally, like Mr Glum in Savage Dragon…
It looks like Tony Stark has been transformed into a very literal mutant Iron Man…
So will they take down Revelation? Who could do such a thing? Do we have anyone around with a decapitating uppercut?
Yeah, yeah, Rogue would do. Unbreakable X-Men #1 by Gail Simone, Lucas Werneck, Rogue Storm #1 by Murewa Ayodele, Roland Boschi, Sinister's Six #1 by David Marquez, Rafael Loureiro and Iron & Frost #1 by Cavan Scott, Ruairi Coleman are all published by Marvel Comics today.
