When young Rogue uses her mutant powers to absorb the Silver Surfer Cosmic Power, the entire course of her story changes forever! Now, the rebellious mutant is blessed with unimaginable power—and the burden of serving as Galactus' new herald. Rocket into space with this iconic X-Man – it's going to be a tough ride!
Rogue will become the newest herald of the Eaters of Worlds
Instead of absorbing Captain Marvel's power, he will absorb the Silver Surfers
Galactus' most famous Herald is the famous Silver Surfer – Norrin Rudd – who sacrificed his death and regular life to save his homeworld Zenn-La from destruction at the hands of the Devourer of Worlds. Gifting a small portion of the Cosmic Force, the power that transforms the rest into Galactus, the Silver Surfer and the other Heralds become beings with cosmic powers. Each Herald has different abilities, but almost all can fire devastating blasts of cosmic power, travel through space unprotected, and fly, making them brutally formidable opponents or allies. Again, this power comes at a price The Herald is now forced to explore and discover worlds for Galactus to eatSomething that is heavy on certain Heralds like the Silver Surfer, and will certainly be on Rogue as well.
While Rogue is powerful in her own right, upgrading the mutant with the Power Cosmic elevates her to a divine being capable of defeating almost any hero on Earth-616. Rogue's mutant gift allows her to absorb the strength and even personality of anyone she touches, something she infamously did to Captain Marvel in her first appearance in 1981. Avengers Annual #10. Carol Danvers' powers and personality were so powerful that Rogue absorbed them foreverIt nearly killed Marvel, which led Rogue to Professor Xavier's doorstep, where she eventually became an X-Men hero. now, If…? Galactus turned rogue? They will see the rebellious and inexperienced young mutant take a very different path than Captain Marvel, taking on the powers of the Silver Surfer.
Will Rogue be able to overcome the trauma of worlds being destroyed?
At her core, Rogue will always be a loving, brave hero
Interestingly, most Heralds are gifted the Power Space by Galactus himself… but in Rogue's case, she will force the power from the Silver Surfer, raising the question of whether Galactus made her a Herald or chose her. Rogue would steal the Surfer's power when she was still a young rebel mutant before becoming a hero on Earth-616, so it would make sense that the disenfranchised orphan adopted by Destiny and Mystique would want to become the most powerful woman in the world. Marvel. However, Rogue is always meant to be heroic, so there's no question he will quickly learn that the cost of being a Herald is not worth the power gained. It would be surprising if Rogue felt comfortable sacrificing worlds to Galactus, so the only question left is…what will she do about it?
Rogue's epic new Herald suit is the perfect heavenly upgrade for the already powerful young mutant, and it will be fascinating to see how Rogue handles so much power, especially without her mother or Javier's guiding hand around her. Although it's shocking to see a reality that Rogue never was X-Men hero, maybe he'll end up on a mutant team until his adventure with Galactus is over.
