Following
the events of X-Men: Legacy, Rogue appears to be able to activate her
powers at will, as opposed to them being constantly active, as
demonstrated when she kisses Gambit without incident. Her inability to
control her powers stemmed from mental blocks within her mind which
formed each time she used her abilities, crippling the development of
her powers from their nascent stage. When Professor
Xavier removes the blocks, her powers are allowed to develop normally.
With this new control, Rogue demonstrates the ability to absorb and
collectively utilize all the powers of the New X-Men, in order to defeat
a rogue Predator X, with no apparent harm to either them or herself.
Her power also affects aliens, such as when she was transferred to a
planet in other dimension by Magik, and one of the aliens involuntarily
touches her and she gains the ability to communicate in their language,
along with their knowledge.
