Someone has put intellect as one of Rogue's powers, have i missed something? I thought she has normal intellect?

She always reminded me of a country bumpkin. No disrespect its just how they used to portray her.

I don't think she'd qualify to have intellect. Sure, they've had her leading in recent times, but I don't think that is necessarily translates to intellect.

Yeah, I agree. I would put at average human intelligence, and I do mean average. That power should be removed from her character.

Know of any instance where she did? All I remember her absorbing are "powers," mostly physical. It'd be cool if she could - she could break into where Einstein's brain is located and come with a unifying theory while decking Juggernaut.

"De-powering characters is fine with me. The power list is supposed to be basic/normal powers or at lease obvious traits that this person excels in. Does Rogue have Intellect as a super power or at least a important characteristic? No. And only if she absorbed the power of intellect and it actually stayed with her (like flight did) would it be considered a power she had."

i think it would

Don't count the Ultimate X-Men panels there as an example of her intellect. Isn't that technically an alternate earth anyway?

As far as intellect, she has a partial law degree - so that's a bit above average. Sure, she's not Reed Richards smart, but still. She's country, and prone to bad decisions (I blame Mystique, but I digress) but not stupid.

Also, I'd have to agree that with all the minds she's absorbed that some extra intellect would have gone along with it.

"rogue has all the intelect of all the people she permantely absorbd!! besides she's smart not telepathic, and even emma didn't see it coming."

When has that been shown in comics? I've never seen hes demonstrate any feats of super-human intelligence.

From a study I read a while back, they reckon that the average IQ of someone getting top grades in an undergraduate degree is 124. I'm not sure if it's changed, but I think Mensa used to require at least 137. I would say in comic book terms, people who qualify for intelligence as a power would have to be at least that smart. Mr. Terrific, Mr. Fantastic and Batman all hold multiple degrees and other fields of study, so one unfinished degree would hardly be a qualifier.

I don't know all the intellects she has permanantly absorbed, but to get that level of intellect wouldn't require lots of people, just one very smart one. You could have a hundred people in there and still not qualify as a genius because lots of average people will still come to average answers.

Also this is pasted from the overwiew;

Rogue has gained enough control over her power to recall and use any power she's ever absorbed.

WTF? The only time she did anything like that was in X-Treme, after which her powers disappeared for a while.

I think a certain little fanboy should stop being so fanboyish.

That needs to be erased! IF she could do that she would be an OMEGA level mutant.
