Rogue (Anna Marie) is a Marvel Comics superhero, a member of the X-Men. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Michael Golden, she first appeared in Avengers Annual #10 (August 1981).
More than most mutants, Rogue considers her powers a curse. She involuntarily absorbs the memories, physical strength, and, in the case of super-powered persons, abilities of anyone she touches. This prevents her from making physical contact with others, including her longtime love interest Gambit.
Hailing from Mississippi, she is the X-Men's self-described southern belle. A runaway, she was adopted by Mystique of the Brotherhood of Mutants but turned to the X-Men when the aftereffects of her repeated use of her mutant power - particularly the permanent absorption of Ms. Marvel's psyche and Kree powers - threatened her sanity.
Regardless, every version of Rogue's history begins in Caldecott County, a fictitious county of Mississippi. As depicted in Rogue #2 (October 2004), her parents, Owen and Priscilla, married early in their relationship and lived in a back-to-nature hippie commune. Although the marriage seems to have been an unsteady one, both Priscilla and her younger sister Carrie doted on Priscilla's infant daughter Anna Marie.
Rogue was one of the few comic book characters whose real name had never been revealed, until very recently. This was a controversial topic for years. In the films X-Men, X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The Last Stand, Rogue's real name is Marie D'Ancanto. However, she takes the name "Rogue" in the first movie and goes by the name the movies.
The readers got close to knowing her name in X-Men #24 (when she was about to reveal it to Gambit on a date), but the Cajun stopped her before she could finish her sentence.
After the movies, X-Men writer Chris Claremont introduced a non-super-powered human character named Marie D'Ancanto in the series X-Treme X-Men, in which Rogue also appears. In this series, Rogue and Gambit had both lost their powers after a battle in which Rogue saved Gambit's life. They had left the X-Men and Rogue was found by some fellow team members living a normal life, having taken up the alias "Anna Raven". A movie poster of Anna Paquin's Oscar-winning film, The Piano, filled an entire wall of Rogue's home and she tells her friends she is going by the name "Anna". Part of another poster seen is of "Castle in the Sky", an anime Paquin lent her voice to in the english dub.
A recent solo series established Rogue's name as Anna-Marie, having the astral form of her mother refer to her as so, and Rogue acknowledging it. Rogue's profile in the most recent edition of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe lists this as her real name.

"It is implicit in the tales that Rogues own past is lost in a sea of confusion resulting from all the memory-borrowing she has done."

I think that she was born in 1981, but I do not know that for sure.
