>Boy, it seems that the main posts I answer these days are DHenry's.

You can call me David, if you like, unless you're worried about me being
mistaken for Dave VanDommelen (no spelling flames, DvD and crew, I'm not
one to care tonight).

Also, welcome to the wonderful world of followup! I so rarely post original
threads to the net that it's usually a couple of months between them. I'm
training for the echo job available at the Jamestown Gulch soon.

But, in any case, numerous peoples, including you, Paladin, and a variety
of other netfolk, have very gently reminded your harried Editor of certain
appearances of Rogue which most certainly are accidental. So, to flush out
all the rest of you closet Rogue fans out, this here's the call to make this
the Definitive Accidental Rogue power absorbtion List.

First off, the Definitions:

--Accidental means accidental. Rogue wasn't planning on it, her target wasn't
  planning on it, it was an OOPS! People touching her, knowing what they
  are doing (Kitty Pryde when they're facing Juggernaut and Nimrod,
  Nightcrawler in Asgard) don't count as accidental.

--Rogue is not one of Crazy Jane's personalities, as easy as that would make
  my fan-brain smile.

Now, what we have for the current list:

--X-Men/Alpha Flight LS #1
	TARGET:	Colossus

	In the Danger Room, Rogue is knocked out of the air, and Petey
	foolishly and gallantly tries to catch her.

--Uncanny X-Men #???
	TARGET: Colossus

	Fighting the Hellfire Club, Leland makes Colossus heavy, and the big
	boy starts sinking into the ground. Rogue comes forward to try and
	dig him out, but Selene, using her always-awesome power to *control
	clothes* (heh), makes Rogue's gloves dissolve away. Bam! Rogue's
	metal again.

--Uncanny X-Men #202???
	TARGET: Many innocent San Franciscans

	Big, nasty, future Sentinel knocks a nalf-naked Rogue through a
	crowd. Much absorbtion occurs.

--Uncanny X-Men #???

	TARGET: Bonebreaker

	Silly cyborg grabs Rogue by the open arm. Rogue absorbs him.
	Rogue gets very upset.

I think I may be remembering (!!!) another case, now that I mention it,
and I don't mind that I do... that hideous Hybrid from ROM may have
grabbed Rogue's head in the second issue of their fight without knowing
that she could absorb his powers. The fact that he later wanted to mate
with her lends strength to the old "What's wrong with alien women, anyway?"
argument.

>I wouldn't worry about the faulty memory, David.  Just remove the faulty
>part and kick it around for a while.  That should fix it's hash.

I'm waiting for a good garage sale, myself. Who knows whose old memories
I could pick up?

>>That's it, I quit. Scav, the Stripe is yours.
>August Paul Yang wonders, since he remembered the second absorption could he
>have the Stripe?

Depends, what would you do with it?

>P.S.  Rob Leifeld, if he was in charge of Rogue, would probably rename her
>(wait for it....)
>STRYPE!
>(August ducks and covers before the tomatoes fly)

Far worse than tomatoes, August: a suitable Darwin quote!
