I can't believe it...
First, this whole thing started out when someone accidentally called Storm
"Rogue" twice when describing the art for X-Men-TAS... Then, people get on
his case because "Rogue's eyes have always been green!" I can understand
that... but then someone says "waitaminnit, what about when Carol Danvers
was in charge?"

IT WAS A COLORING ERROR, OKAY!?!

This whole thread is as absurd as when someone actually wrote in with a
long, detailed explanation as to why the
Hulk's arm appeared flesh-colored in one panel of an issue long ago.
something like "well, maybe Bruce was gaining control, but with the fight
raging, they made a pact and the Hulk was allowed to stay in control until
the end of the fight..." IT WAS A COLORING ERROR! The editors even
admitted it! (see, they _aren't_ omnipotent!)

Now we're digging up long-buried examples of Rogue's body switches...
I personally wouldn't count "Heroes For Hope" as part of the continuity...
stop, please god, stop!

(jumping on the roof with large Liefeld-style armor-piercing toaster
launcher and spraying the crowd, laughing madly)

You want something to talk about reharding Rogue...how about X-Men Annual
#9, when Nightcrawler wraps his tail around Cyclops and kisses Rogue, so
Rogue _absorbs both of their powers!_
Since when was she able to do this?
