Rogue: The Poisoned Touch and the Ghost of a Hero | Marvel Echoes Podcast Ep. 31
Description
In Episode 31 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we dive deep into the tragic and triumphant history of the X-Men's southern powerhouse, Rogue. Her origin is a double-edged sword: a "poisoned touch" that manifested by putting her first crush in a coma, and the deliberate sin of stealing the powers—and the psyche—of the Avenger, Ms. Marvel.
We unravel the layers of a character defined by isolation, from her days as a villain in Mystique's Brotherhood to her desperate plea for help at the X-Mansion. But this story is about her journey to control—becoming a field leader for the Avengers, losing her powers all over again, and finally mastering her own trauma to become one of the X-Men's greatest leaders.
Subscribe, like, and get ready for our next two episodes, because you can't tell Rogue's story without them: we're covering Captain Marvel and Gambit next!
