Another one of my favorite episodes and one that is quite emotional and well written.

This one deals with blocked memories of what Rogue had as she experiences bad flashbacks during a fight with Pyro/Blob/Avalance as she seen images of a woman she knew along time ago as Miss Marvel aka Captain Marv-ell (not to be confused with Captain Marvel aka Shazam as Marvel has their own Captain Marvel but pronounced differently) whom she absorbed her powers/strength perminately along time ago. Once she gets those images she finds the woman she put in a long time coma in a hospital with Mystique who has been playing tricks with her as she helps try to get her past back. She remembers how she kissed her first boyfriend when she was 14 yet he ended up in the hospital and how his angered father found out she is a mutant as she scolds her saying a line that hits you "You ain't my daughter! NOT ANYMORE!" as he leaves her and disowns her which was a powerful scene that hits viewers which some can relate to. She did runaway yet a woman (who was really Mystique in disguise) helped train her to control her powers to help alongside Pyro and Avalance yet didn't know she was gonna hijack Miss Marvel's powers which now she must deal with the inner-demons.

This episode is a nice Rouge origin episode with nice appearance by Captain Marvell (aka Miss Marvel) and has a nice happy ending as well. It really dwells into her troubled past and how she has to fight her inner demons that haunted her that were blocked out. Yet the ending was quite happy i should say and to make everyone know that Miss Marvel was ok.

"Unicorn, mermaid, vampire,sorceress! No name you'd give her would surprise me i love whom i love"

He is the coolest guy ever. A great voice and speeches. He really is not a bad guy he merely has a different approach to achieve what the x men want a better, peaceful and equal world.

I like this episode too. It makes Rogue less evil than in her original comic she appeared in. A few years ago I decided to read Avengers Annual#10 which is Rogue's first appearance. She knocks out Captain America with her Ms. Marvel's powers then sexually assaults him by kissing him while unconscious to absorb his abilities. She thinks to herself that she doesn't have to absorb his powers this way but that it's more fun that way.

Then she takes out numerous other Avengers through out the story and is stopped by Iron Man and the X-Men at the end. This cartoon was my first intro to the X-Men and Rogue so seeing her first appearance was hard for me.
