Rogue in the films isn’t done justice. Idk comics, but in X-Men Evolution the animated series she

basically beats Apocalypse 1v1.
In the older animated series she has flight and superstrength as part of her default power sets. I recall her getting those powers from Captain/Ms Marvel.
Im honestly not 100% on this but isn’t her core power set the draining ability.
Iirc the flight,durability and super strength come from another lady who she nearly killed by accident, ended up with them permanently and that added to her general “can’t touch, people die” trauma
Edit : nvm just saw the captain marvel reference, not sure how I missed that the first time
You’re right, she was portrayed as pretty weak in the movies. I feel like she almost took the role of Jubilee when comparing with the original cartoon. But also she did have her moments of weakness in the original cartoon.
I know that this is also a joke about cake but in the OG cartoon, the two heavy hitters that almost regularly swoop in and bail out even the likes of Cyclops and Wolverine are definitely Rogue and Storm. But the power levels are strange and inconsistent. One moment they’re god tier and the next they’ll fly straight into the giant bad guy’s slow motion punch and get KO’ed for the next 10 minutes.

Jubilee got that omega glow up when they switched her to dazzler, but yeah OG jubilee was meh, power wise
