When Rogue first joined with the X-Men during the 80s, Marvel's mutants had only appeared as guest stars in other animated series, though after the team received a monumental popularity boost that soon saw the X-Men and Rogue begin to appear much more frequently in film and television.

Rogue would take a central role in a few animated series and the first cinematic trilogy as played by Anna Paquin, though the character was only fully realized in a few of her adaptations, with other versions of Rogue failing to capture some of the key elements of one of the X-Men's most powerful and popular members.

Marvel released a series of anime adaptations of characters like Blade, Iron Man, and Wolverine, who would also appear in a separate X-Men Anime, which featured a team based on the Astonishing X-Men roster.

That meant Rogue was not included on the team, though she did appear in a brief cameo during the final episode of the series alongside Colossus when Professor Xavier sent a call for aid in dealing with his mutant son Takeo.

Spider-Man also starred in a successful animated series during the 90s that aired on Fox and ran for five seasons and existed alongside the other Marvel cartoons. The success of these series inevitably led to quite a few crossovers from the characters.

Rogue and the X-Men appeared in the "Neogenic Nightmare" season that saw Spider-Man first seek out their help to deal with his mutating abilities, and then assist in taking out the mutated monster scientist Herbert Landon, with Rogue even sharing a moment with Spider-Man after he saved her.

While Rogue and Iceman's relationship experienced issues, the mutant cure led her to follow her temptations and give up her mutant abilities, though this version of the character never had all of the powers as her comic counterpart, who rejected similar cures.

After the franchise had been rebooted in the past, most of the original trilogy of characters returned for 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, which took place both in the past and the far future of the cinematic continuity.

While Rogue's appearance was initially removed from the theatrical run of the film, she starred in The Rogue Cut that released on home video after that featured Paquin's return to the character as the future X-Men are forced to break her out of prison in order to absorb Kitty Pryde's abilities, though she did show up in the new future alongside Iceman in the finale.

Rogue and Iceman's relationship was a central factor in the first cinematic sequel X2: X-Men United, which saw the Xavier Institute attacked and a number of young mutants kidnapped by William Stryker.

Rogue, Iceman and Pyro were forced to go on the run alongside Wolverine until they regrouped with the rest of the X-Men and Magneto's forces to stop Stryker from killing all of the mutants on the planet. Rogue finally debuted in her own costume in the finale of the film, which shared the dark leather motif of the rest of the X-Men.

While this version of Rogue had yet to acquire any of her additional comic abilities like flight and super-strength, her power-absorption took center stage as Magneto hunted her down in order to use her to power his device to turn humans into mutants. Rogue never wore her X-costume in this film, though she did develop her trademarked white strip of hair.

3 Wolverine And The X-Men (2009)

2009's Wolverine And The X-Men took a new approach to the team that separated it from earlier popular animated series by giving it a darker edge, as Wolverine was forced to put the broken team back together.

Rogue (voiced by Kieren van den Blink) appeared in the series wearing a version of her most recognizable 90s costume, though she worked with the Brotherhood instead of the X-Men as she was hoping to learn more about Magneto. This version of Rogue was an amalgamation of the previous animated versions with a bit of the movie personality mixed in as well.

2 X-Men: Evolution (2000)

A teenage group of X-Men was explored in 2000's X-Men: Evolution, as the mutants-in-training navigated the halls of high school while saving the neighborhood from the teenaged Brotherhood during the weekend.

Rogue (voiced by Meghan Black) fit the role of a teenager better than any other character save for Nightcrawler, which was fitting as their familial relationship was explored better than any other adaptation of the characters had ever seen. Rogue wore a modified version of the X-Men's training uniform, though she didn't feature any of her enhanced comic abilities.

The best adaptation of the character is also one of the most popular and appeared in X-Men: The Animated Series from the 90s, which aired for five seasons on Fox during the era of Saturday morning cartoons.

The series design was based on Jim Lee's designs from the equally popular and best-selling X-Men #1, which introduced Rogue's green and yellow costume and the brown leather jacket that some of the team adopted, and the series locked Rogue's southern drawl from voice actor Lenore Zann into the minds of 90s fans everywhere, sugah.
