Try wikipedia, it's complete. here's some

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 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.

Rogue has been a popular and consistent member of the X-Men since the 1980s. She has been featured in most X-Men animated series and video games. In the X-Men film series she is portrayed by Anna Paquin.

Rogue's history begins in Caldecott County, a fictitious county of Mississippi. Her parents, Owen and Priscilla, married early in their relationship and lived in a back-to-nature hippie commune[1]. 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.

The members of the commune became interested in Native American mysticism, and convinced a shaman to try to help them gain access to a mystical place called the "Far Banks" where they believed dreams would come true. However, the ritual they attempted resulted in Priscilla's disappearance, and Owen brought Anna Marie to Carrie to raise.

Carrie, in her grief at the loss of her sister, was a strict and authoritarian guardian, and Anna Marie a rebellious child[2] and having an equally poor relationship with her father, is what prompted her to run away from home as a young teenager and begin using the name "Rogue." Not long after she was approached by Mystique, who sought her out on the advice of her precognitive partner Destiny and took her in as a daughter.

At some point, Rogue grew close to a boy named Cody Robbins. During their flirtation, she impulsively kissed Cody, at which point her latent mutant power to absorb the life energy and psyche of others with skin-to-skin contact emerged. Rogue was traumatized by the experience, and Cody was left in a coma from which he would not awaken.

[edit] Brotherhood of Evil Mutants

After Rogue's mutation emerges, Mystique begins coaxing Rogue to take part in her terrorist activities as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Rogue is initially not interested, wanting only a normal life and to be able to have fun, but after an incident (depicted in Ann Nocenti's "Her First And Last" in Classic X-Men #44) in which she absorbs and knocks out a boy named Freddie when he dares her to kiss him, she seems to give up on normality and begins taking part in Mystique's plans.

During this period, Rogue and Mystique associate briefly with a mutant named Blindspot, whose power to erase the memories of others by touch somehow counteracts Rogue's mutation enough to allow them to make physical contact safely. Blindspot and Rogue become good friends, but when Mystique decides to sever professional ties with Blindspot, Blindspot erases all memory of her from both Mystique and Rogue in order to protect herself.

When Mystique debuts her Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Destiny advises her to keep Rogue out of the action, advice which proved important when several members of the new Brotherhood - including Destiny herself - are arrested and imprisoned. Here, again, the comics are contradictory: Avengers Annual #10, which included Rogue's first appearance, indicated that part of Mystique's plan to free Destiny and the other members of the Brotherhood involves having Rogue attack and absorb Carol Danvers (then retired and living in San Francisco) in order to make use of her formidable powers. However, in Marvel Super Heroes #11, probably in an effort to make Rogue's actions less villainous, Destiny is shown having a premonition that Ms. Marvel will be a threat to Rogue, and Rogue, overhearing this, sets out to defeat Ms. Marvel on her own.

Regardless, Rogue ultimately confronts Ms. Marvel on the Golden Gate Bridge and deliberately absorbs her powers. Something goes wrong with the transfer, possibly caused by the fact that Ms. Marvel's powers are of Kree origin instead of being a mutation; the transfer is permanent, and Carol's mind is wiped blank, all of her memories absorbed by Rogue along with her powers. Although Professor X is able to restore Carol's personality and partly restore her memories, he can not re-establish the emotional ties those memories had carried, leaving Carol a stranger in her own life. Rogue later felt tremendous guilt over the incident and it still haunts her to this day.

Meanwhile, Rogue uses her new powers of flight, super-strength, and near-invulnerability to attack and absorb Captain America, at Mystique's instruction. The absorbed powers enable her to battle the Avengers, and she absorbs Thor as well before escaping to join Mystique in her attempt to free Destiny and the other members of the Brotherhood. The attempt fails, but Mystique and Rogue escape.

Shortly thereafter (in Uncanny X-Men #158), Rogue happens to encounter the X-Men, along with Carol Danvers, at the Pentagon, where Mystique maintains a secret identity as a government agent. During the resulting fight, Rogue absorbs both Wolverine and Storm, but can not control Storm's weather powers.

A second attempt at breaking the Brotherhood out of prison is foiled by Rom, the Spaceknight, in ROM #31-32. During combat, Rogue touches the Spaceknight's armor and absorbs a bit of his nobility; perhaps as a result of this, Rogue shows for the first time a potential for goodness when she refuses to abandon Rom to fight alone against Hybrid, who plans to enslave the Earth.

Later, Rogue tangles several times with Dazzler (in Dazzler #22-23 and #28), developing a grudge against her for her controllable mutation and her relationship with Angel of the X-Men. Mystique intends for Rogue to absorb Angel - the only X-Man whose identity is publicly known at the time - in order to learn the team's whereabouts, but Rogue balks, afraid of the effect of absorbing a physical mutation like Angel's wings, and is defeated by Dazzler a few times before Dazzler is publicly outed as a mutant and goes into hiding.

[edit] X-Men

The more Rogue used her mutant power, the more her mind became filled with fragmentary psychic echoes of the people she absorbed, and Carol Danvers' psyche was nearly a completely distinct personality within her mind. It became harder and harder for Rogue to hold on to her own personality, and she feared that her powers would drive her insane. Desperate, she turned to Professor Charles Xavier and the X-Men (X-Men #171). Xavier's charity towards all mutants led him to welcome her into his home, regardless of his team having previously fought Rogue and in spite of the X-Men's own strong disagreements. He psychically examined her and invited her to join the X-Men and live at the mansion. Her initial months with the team were rough and some of the team even threatened to leave if she was allowed to stay, but Professor Xavier reminded them of their ideals as X-Men and they gave her a chance. She first earned Wolverine's trust by saving the life of his fiancée, Mariko Yashida, and later when she played a crucial role in saving Colossus after a vicious attack by the Brotherhood left him trapped in his armored form. Over time, she earned the respect of all the X-Men and eventually became a valued, trusted member of the team.

Among the X-Men, Rogue's life improved, but she continued to struggle with Carol Danvers' residual personality until Rogue was pulled through the mystical gateway known as the Siege Perilous, where she was judged by otherdimensional forces with the promise of a "new life." Returned to Earth, Rogue was purged of the remaining portions of Carol's personality, truly becoming her own woman again, but was also temporarily stripped of her powers for a time. However, after Rogue emerged from the Siege, she found herself back in the abandoned ghost town in Australia the X-Men had taken up residence in after the Fall of the Mutants storyline. She was confronted by not only the Reavers, but by Carol Danvers herself, whose disembodied psyche had been re-integrated by passing through the Siege and being separated from Rogue. Rogue fled from Carol as she battled the Reavers, and absorbed the powers of the mutant Gateway in order to teleport herself to safety. But Carol arrived before she could escape and plunged through the portal Rogue had summoned, and both of them disappeared.

Rogue, as it turned out, ended up powerless in the Savage Land, but Carol had been teleported to Muir Isle, where she came into conflict with some of the X-Men's allies who had fallen under the mental enslavement of the Shadow King. Carol fought him, but his vast psionic powers overwhelmed and corrupted her. He then sent her to the Savage Land to find Rogue and the two battled fiercely. It was also shown during the fight that there was not enough lifeforce between the two to sustain both of them physically as a result of the separation. Just as Rogue was on the verge of being drained completely, Magneto suddenly intervened and destroyed the Ms. Marvel Persona, saving Rogue's life. The two briefly toyed with a romance. Rogue ultimately saw through Magneto's noble facade when he killed the high priestess Zaladane, who had amassed an army of Savage Land natives. Rogue's perception of her potential lover shaken, when her powers had fully returned, she flew to Muir Island to rejoin the rest of the X-Men. Like the others on the island, however, she fell under the influence of the Shadow King, until freed by the efforts of Forge to help in the battle against the Shadow King, Legion, and Malice. After the battle was over and the X-Men divided into two teams to better make use of their large number of active members, Rogue was assigned to the Blue Team, under the leadership of Cyclops and alongside new X-Man Gambit.

Rogue and Gambit were immediately attracted to each other, but the development of their relationship was slow and rocky, partly as a result of her inability to control her powers and partly as a result of long-term issues with secrecy, dishonesty, and fear of intimacy on both sides. Incidentally, Cody Robbins, the first person to fall victim to Rogue's powers, was later killed by Gambit's ex-wife Belladonna.

It was eventually revealed that Mystique had two sons: the now-deceased anti-mutant politician Graydon Creed and Rogue's long-time teammate, Nightcrawler. Rogue and Nightcrawler consider themselves to be siblings, although the revelation has not particularly altered their friendship.

Following the supposed 'death' of Cyclops, the X-Men team underwent major changes, amongst them Rogue being made the team's new field commander. Her evened temper and years of X-Men service made her an ideal leader and she continued to lead the team until Storm returned.

When the Galactic Council transformed Earth into a maximum-security penal colony for hundreds of extraterrestrial criminals, Rogue absorbed the attributes of Z'Cann -- a telepathic alien shapeshifter who had joined Cadre K, Xavier's Skrull equivalent to the X-Men. Z'Cann purposely touched Rogue to activate the mutant's abilities as the two evaded bounty hunters. Z'Cann used her telepathy to amplify Rogue's capacity to assimilate memories, causing her powers to mutate.

Mutant powers

Rogue's mutant ability allows her to absorb the essence of anyone she touches through skin to skin contact. This includes their personality, memories and often their physical characteristics. In the case of super-powered individuals she also absorbs any extra abilities they might possess. This absorbtion usually leaves its victim weakened, and sometimes unconscious. Their powers may also be temporarily weakened or removed.

This transfer is usually temporary, lasting for a period of time relative to how long contact is maintained, but if Rogue holds on to her victim for too long, the transfer may become permanent. Most often this process happens instantly when Rogue touches someone, but in certain instances where a being has possessed an extraordinary level of power they are able to resist her, and she may only share part of their memories and power.

As Rogue is absorbing the total psyche of a person, there is a risk of a personality overwhelming her and taking control of her body. It has also been shown that even though Rogue forgets the memories she has absorbed when a psyche returns to its body, 'echoes' of their personalities remain buried in her mind.

Rogue is able to absorb psyches and abilities of several beings at once, though the experience can be confusing and disorienting for her.
Ms. Marvel powers

As a young woman Rogue permanently absorbed the many powers and psyche of Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers):

* Superhuman strength.(For some unknown reason, Rogue possessed greater strength than Ms. Marvel ever demonstrated).
* Superhuman Durability (to most forms of physical harm, though she could still be injured in extreme cases. Viper possessed a blaster pistol capable of inflicting near-fatal wounds to her, and characters with superhuman strength could also affect her).
* Flight (her speeds were often inconsistently presented).
* Pre-cognitive seventh sense (this ability was also inconsistently utilized).
* Resistance to telepathy (said to have been a byproduct of two minds existing in the one body and/or Carol Danvers' Kree physiology).

When Rogue later lost all of her superhuman abilities for a time, her Ms. Marvel abilities vanished and did not return.

Is it too much?

Real Name: Anna Marie D’Ancanto
Powers: Rogue is mostly known for her ability to absorb things from people on skin on skin contact. She can absorb the memories, skills, abilities, and superpowers from anyone she touches. If she stays in contact for too long, however, she can permanently absorb the persons abilities and with it, their consciousness. The powers most people have come to know her for are the powers of flight, super strength and near invulnerability when she permanently absorbed them from Ms. Marvel.
Recently, she lost the powers of Ms. Marvel and absorbed the powers of a dying Sunfire, granting her the ability to convert matter into super hot plasma. Rogue now has the ability to shoot energy blasts and fly, leaving a trail of fire behind her.
Rogue often sees her powers as a curse, since she cannot touch the ones she loves the most, especially her fellow teammate and mutant, Gambit.

Location: NYC

True identity: never revealed

Origin: Rogue’s powers first manifested when she kissed a childhood friend, Cody Robbins. Rogue absorbed Cody’s memories and consciousness, sending Cody into a coma. Rogue passed out as well, and was later discovered by the townspeople. She fled only to be discovered by Mystique, a shape shifter and criminal. Mystique took Rogue under her wing, becoming a surrogate mother to her.

Ok first and foremost...it depends on what comics you look to.

Most say her name is Anna Marie or just Marie. Never is her last name revealed in comics. She was, however given a last name for the movie - D'Ancanto. Ultimate X-Men's Rogue's name is Marian. And when Rogue was rendered powerless she was Anna Raven.

Her origin is as follows:

Rogue is unusual among the X-Men in that her real name and her early history were not revealed until more than twenty years after her introduction. Until the backstory provided by Robert Rodi in the Rogue ongoing series begun in September of 2004, Rogue's background was only hinted at in various issues, this resulted in what little information was established before this being contradictory. In X-Men Unlimited #4, Scott Lobdell indicates that Rogue ran away from her father after her mutant powers manifested, but in Uncanny X-Men #182 Rogue reflects that she never knew her father because he'd left before she was born, and several issues, including Uncanny X-Men #178 and X-Men #93, indicate that Rogue was taken in by Mystique and Destiny before her mutation became active.

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.

The members of the commune became interested in Native American mysticism, and convinced a shaman to try to help them gain access to a mystical place called the "Far Banks" where they believed dreams would come true. However, the ritual they attempted resulted in Priscilla's disappearance, and Owen brought Anna Marie to Carrie to raise.

Carrie, in her grief at the loss of her sister, was a strict and authoritarian guardian, and Anna Marie a rebellious child. Rogue #2 indicates that this, and Anna Marie's equally poor relationship with her father, is what prompted her to run away from home as a young teenager and begin using the name "Rogue." Not long after she was approached by Mystique, who sought her out on the advice of her precognitive partner Destiny and took her in as a daughter.

At some point, Rogue grew close to a boy named Cody Robbins. During their flirtation, she impulsively kissed Cody, at which point her latent mutant power to absorb the life energy and psyche of others with skin-to-skin contact emerged. Rogue was traumatized by the experience, and Cody was left in a coma from which he would not awaken.

Her powers are:
Absorption of psyche and powers through skin to skin contact.
Project heat and flame.
Envelop herself in a fiery aura.
Immunity to heat and radiation.
Ability to see the infra-red spectrum.
Flight.
Increased strength through focusing her flame powers inwards.

These powers have been acquired by various mutants over the years such as Ms Marvel and Sunfire.

As far as family...she has her mother and father out there somewhere. Her adopted mother(s) Raven Darkholme and Irene Adler and adopted brother Kurt Wagner. And in one continuity she has a husband and son...Eric Lensherr and Charles Lensherr.

Her other identity is of course, Rogue of the X-Men.

I suppse her weakness would be when Rogue calls upon the power of another she has absorbed she risks the psyche of the donor taking control of her. This happened with Ms Marvel and I believe X-Men Evolution touched on that with her absorbing too much and 'sifting' through everyone's powers uncontrollably.

Currently I think she resides at the X-Men mansion if you follow Ultimate X-Men, which is the one I follow most. Other versions might say she is with Brotherhood or that she simply left the X-Men.

Stating any info on comic characters is difficult without knowing which version you want to follow. There are too many different realities out there amongst the comic book world but I hope what I gave you here helps.
