Important
We will update this article once the official details have been announced regarding the character’s ability set.
Who Is Rogue in Marvel Rivals?
Rogue (Anna Marie) is a long-time member of the X-Men. Her signature power lets her absorb another person’s abilities and memories through touch, sometimes even borrowing their strength, speed, or unique powers for a short time.
In different storylines, she’s carried flight and super strength after contact with other heroes, and she has a well-known on-again, off-again relationship with Gambit. In a team brawler like Marvel Rivals, Rogue’s identity makes her a natural fit for a flexible, matchup-based playstyle that reacts to who she’s facing.
Marvel Rivals: Rogue Abilities and Stats
So far, NetEase hasn’t released full official ability descriptions, but dataminers have found a list of names that give us a pretty clear picture of what to expect.
Leaked Rogue Ability Set: (Strategist Class)
- Capacity Building: likely a passive that increases energy or charge when absorbing attacks or allies’ buffs.
- Ability Draw: could let Rogue temporarily “pull” or mimic a nearby hero’s skill. Think of it as sampling powers on the go.
- Ability Acquisition – Skill 1
- Ability Acquisition – Skill 2
- Ability Acquisition – Skill 3: These three may represent her core mimic slots, letting her store or rotate copied powers from different heroes during a match.
If these leaks prove true, Rogue will probably play unlike anyone else in the roster.
Rogue Release Date in Marvel Rivals
NetEase has officially confirmed that Rogue will join Marvel Rivals with the launch of Season 5.5 in December 2025, making her the 45th playable hero in the game. The fan-favorite mutant from the X-Men franchise will arrive a few weeks after Gambit’s debut. Rogue will be voiced by Lenore Zann, the iconic voice behind the character in X-Men: The Animated Series and X-Men ’97, marking a nostalgic return for longtime fans.
