Rogue Ascendant

One of the coolest scenes I've seen to date in the ongoing Second Coming crossover for the X-Men is where Rogue uses her ability to absorb mutant powers to arm herself up with the powers of several fellow X-Men at the same time.

So, can you identify which X-Men lent their powers to Rogue for this shot? And to those reading Second Coming, can you guess which power DOESN'T belong?

fantastic. by far the best part of that issue. even though kurts death was totally epic. but i dont think she had x23's power to answer your question.

Actually, during her fight against Bastion in that issue, there was a part where she kicks Bastion in the head with a clawed foot, so that means that she had X-23's powers in her mix.

It's been a while since I posted this, so I'll go ahead and mention the answer here. The extra power here is Storm's, hinted by the electricity dancing around her arms. Storm was not among the team that was sent to meet up with Cable and Hope.

This is awesome, im waaaayyyy outta the loop as far as storylines and such go but I know a good chunk of characters. I love Rogue, but my fav of the X men is of course Wolverine

It's been a good while since I last drew Wolverine-- I could never really get his claws just right!

Oh and she is gorgeous in this work. Great Job!

Do you plan to color it, I bet it would look phenomenal in color

I will feature this one! but it was hard to choose, I like the mechas too but she looks more "fantasy" !

Yeah, Angel gave his power to her

I like Angel, but I don't really like the character of Rogue. I think my favorite X-men is Nightcrawler, will you draw him one day?

very nice drawing by the way

I always fancied Rogue because of the essence of her power, that she could pretty much use any power from any other character. That she could be "like" anyone.

Kind of like >ahem< me in a way... artwise at least...

I'll likely do a Nightcrawler pic in the future, once I get more comfortable rendering dark shadows again!

Yes, her power is interesting, I liked it when she used the power of Colossus in the cartoon she looked like a robot.
