![]() But the rumor mill has been buzzing with whispers that the Danvers/Rogue fight could take place in Captain Marvel 2, as an introduction to the MCU’s X-Men. This is a far cry from the timid, nearly useless Rogue of Fox’s cinematic universe. This made Rogue one of the most powerful members of the X-Men when she eventually went legit. But instead of retaining those abilities for a short time, as is nearly always the case with her power, they didn’t go away for decades. This led to an eventual fight with Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, in which Rogue absorbed her super-strength, flight, extreme durability, and ranged power attacks. While her power-sucking abilities are the same in the comics, she’s first recruited by Mystique to do her dirty work for her. That couldn’t be farther from her print-form beginnings. The X-Men movies portrayed her as a sweet, innocent teenager with uncontrollable powers in desperate need of Charles Xavier’s tutelage. Like Deadpool, Rogue started her comic book career as a villain. Maybe we’ll see some of these traits develop in further films. She’s also an extremely skilled martial artist with a side of super strength, and can perform astral projection. But in the comics, aside from her empathic abilities, she has the powers of telepathy and precognition. Long story short, Mantis did eventually join the Guardians of the Galaxy. But her lot in life is a whole different story for a whole different movie, if Marvel Studios should see fit to tell it. ![]() She did so and gave birth to her daughter, Sequoia. As the Kree’s ‘Celestial Madonna,’ Mantis was fated to breed with a perfect specimen of the Cotati race, which happen to be trees (but no, not Groots). Her memory was erased and she was sent out into the clear, blue yonder to earn her stripes. The Kree concluded she was integral to the fate of the universe, perhaps based on her inborn telepathic powers. Unfortunately, they didn’t qualify as parents of the year, having given her to the Kree for evaluation. The Mantis from the funny pages was born right here on Earth to a German fellow and a Vietnamese woman. The Mantis we know and love from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies is a sweet, kind alien being. In fact, Mantis is probably the most changed of all the Marvel characters to be displayed on screen.
