WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Captain Marvel: The End #1, by Kelly Thompson, Carmen Carnero, David Curiel and VC's Travis Lanham, on sale now.

One of the first acts of Krakoa's Quiet Council at the start of Marvel's Dawn of X relaunch was to create a series of laws by which the island nation's mutants must abide. Among those laws was "Make More Mutants," which implored Krakoa's residents to be fruitful and multiply. However, this is more difficult for some than others, particularly Rogue and Gambit.

In Excalibur #6, Rogue told Gambit that she no longer wants to have kids due in large part to the danger her energy-absorbing abilities might pose to a child in utero. She also expressed a reticence to let more people into her life, at least right now. Although Rogue leaves open the possibility her attitude on the subject could change, it also might not. However, Captain Marvel: The End #1 reveals a future in which Gambit and Rogue do have a child, and she's the perfect combination of both of them.

Captain Marvel: The End #1 opens with Carol Danvers off-world, full of regret about her failure to save Earth from an attack decades prior. Then, her pager goes off with a message reading, "Avengers Assemble." This prompts her to investigate Earth for the first time in years. The planet is now a frozen wasteland, but Captain Marvel finds several of her old allies and/or their children still alive.

Among those Carol initially meets is Rogue and Gambit's child: Irene (who may be named for Irene Adler/Destiny, one of Rogue's mother figures). The young woman has Gambit's red eyes and Rogue's white striped hair. Although the issue doesn't really get into what powers she possesses too deeply, she does help take down the monster threatening Earth's last inhabitants, indicating she's formidable.

Just how the couple got around Rogue's power absorbing abilities to have a child isn't totally clear from Captain Marvel: The End #1. In the ongoing Dawn of X relaunch comics, Rogue has control over her powers, but that doesn't necessarily mean she couldn't accidentally do harm to her child while she's pregnant, which is clearly what she fears in Excalibur. The solution may lie in Mr. and Mrs. X, which was written by Captain Marvel: The End's Kelly Thompson. That story  introduced a power-dampening bracelet that allowed Rogue to suppress her mutant abilities, so it's possible that played a role in Irene's birth.

However, it's also important to keep in mind that Marvel's The End stories aren't generally canonical, so it's possible the comic takes place in a universe in which the current run on Excalibur never happened and Rogue opted to have a child with Gambit. It's also possible Rogue later changed her mind. Still, Captain Marvel: The End #1 shows what Rogue and Gambit's child could look like if they were to Make More Mutants the old-fashioned way.
