Powers and abilities

Rogue is a mutant with the ability to temporarily absorb the memories, thoughts and abilities of others, including superhuman abilities, via skin-to-skin contact. This transference usually causes the victim to fall unconscious and become weakened. The duration of this drain varies according to the length of time that the contact is maintained, but it can kill if it is prolonged for too long.

Early in her career, Rogue permanently absorbed the powers of Ms. Marvel, gaining the powers of superhuman strength, flight, near-invulnerability, and a "seventh sense". When she was recently depowered, she lost these, and while her natural absorption power eventually returned, these powers did not.
