X-Men: The Animated Series (TV Series) A Rogue's Tale (1994) User Reviews

Great background story for Rogue

This episode does a lot of things right. It explains the history between Rogue and Mystique and how she got he super powers.

It' has action and really gives more story for those that care about Rogue. There's an argument make that Rogue (and Gambit) have really gained popularity through this episode.

What this episode all really does well is letting mystique ¨shine¨ as the manipulative person she is. Which was long due.

More interesting than I expected it to be.

Damn, the actress who voices Rogue can scream. She really gets to showcase her acting abilities in this episode. Rogue's backstory of being raised by Mystique and absorbing Ms Marvel's powers (who in this version isn't Muslim, in fact she seems to be closer to Captain Marvel) is pretty interesting and so is the sense of guilt she's left with. Kinda scummy of Professor X to erase her memories like that. The final battle with Ms Marvel's vengeful conciosuness is good, her being willing to destroy her body just to have her revenge on Rogue is really cool. Unfortunately there's some boring action and the story doesn't really get going until the second half of the episode.
