Owner's Description

"Rogue redux"

Chris Claremont (writer), Jim Lee (penciler), Art Thibert (guest inker), Task force X (letterers), Steve Buccelato (colorist), Bob Harras (editor), Tom DeFalco (editor-in chief)

Brief Description:
Rogue is spat out from the Siege Perilous to land in her room in the X-Men’s headquarters in the Australian Outback, seemingly unchanged. From a news report, she learns that Mystique has been murdered. As she tries to alert her teammates, she learns firstly that she has lost her Ms. Marvel powers and secondly that the HQ is now back in the hands of the Reavers. Surprisingly, Carol Danvers now has a body of her own again and, while she fights the Reavers, Rogue absorbs Gateway’s powers long enough to teleport herself and (accidentally) Carol away. Carol ends up on Muir Isle. Though struggling bravely, she falls under the control of the Shadow King and chases Rogue as his servant. Rogue, in the meantime, has ended up in the Savage Land. Enjoying her time there, she travels to the village of the X-Men’s friend Nereel, but finds it abandoned after an attack. As she still mulls over what to do, she is attacked by a badly decomposing Carol. It turns out that there isn’t enough life energy to sustain them both – one of them has to die. Rogue actually wins their battle, but doesn’t want to take Carol’s life a second time. Carol uses that hesitation and almost kills her, but is felled by a newcomer – Magneto. The Master of Magnetism realizes the situation and uses the devices in Sauron’s citadel to restore one of them – Rogue.

Story Notes:
Rogue was sucked into the Siege Perilous in issue Uncanny X-Men #247.

Cylla Markham’s plane was blown up by Fenris in issue #260. Pierce offered her a new body in issue #261.

This is not the “real” Carol Danvers so to speak, who still exists independently, but the personality Rogue absorbed from Carol (Avengers annual #10) given a new body by the Siege Perilous

This is the first time Lila is seen alive after seemingly perishing in New Mutants (1st series) #70.

The X-Men helped restore the Savage Land back in Uncanny X-Men annual #12.

The energy devices in Sauron’s Citadel are from Marvel Fanfare (1st series) #1-4.
