Marvel: Absorption

Anna Marie (Rogue)
Rogue can absorb the powers, energies, memories, knowledge, talents, personality and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another human being through physical contact of her skin with the skin of the other person. She is not limited to absorbing superhuman abilities; for example, she has absorbed the strength, agility, and sharp reflexes of an enhanced human. She can also absorb psionic abilities. In absorbing another person's memories, Rogue also gains the emotional responses connected to them. For the transfer of abilities to be accomplished, Rogue's skin must contact the skin of her victim. Rogue can only absorb abilities and memories from living, organic beings. She can possess the powers of several superhuman being at once. No upper limit has yet been determined for the number of superhuman beings whose power she can maintain simultaneously or for the amount of power that she can absorb. Rogue can absorb abilities and memories from a normal-looking human being. The victim's abilities and memories are absorbed for a time sixty times longer than the period of time Rogue was in physical contact with that person. Those touched are rendered unconscious by contact with her, though some beings, including Juggernaut and Mojo, have resisted this effect. While for most of her life, her use of this power was involuntary, Rogue has recently gained full control over it.
