Carol Danvers is the original Ms Marvel and then we got Moonstone become the second Ms Marvel. Should we get a third one?

I really want Rogue's powers back so I was thinking maybe she could accidentally absorb Gladiator's superstrength and flight only and we get her taking the title Ms Marvel and have her own ongoing series? What do you think?

Won't work I think. A lot of the fans who knew Rogue best with her super strength, super speed, durability and all that - they have either moved on, or accepted the character has changed, and they will be some of us (me included) who'd love to have her in a mini or series with those powers but not enough of us, plus you might put off a lot of Rogue fans, current Rogue fans, Rogue fans of the last few years who are fond of her current powers. Plus even if Mike Carey and Clay Mann was writing, chances are it wouldn't sell enough. i could go on and on. Plus Ms Marvel is very viable character for more success. It would hurt both characters I think to do this. You know, split fans? I'd love if there was an X-Men team traveling abroad and Rogue was in it and other X-Men heavy hitters and they went after like... (Rogue as a powerhouse but maybe after taking some of the COV characters powers permanently?)  
 
Cool thread though too!

As a longtime fan of Ms. Marvel (having read all 50 of Reed's run), I can say that, unless she got direct permission from Carol to take the mantle - you would think it would be a massive insult to her. As we all know, Carol and Rogue don't exactly have the most friendly history and despite their best efforts to mend it, there is still a grudge beneath the exterior. 
 
It would, however, be an interesting storyline for the both of them. Sort of like how Bucky became Captain America and it pissed off quite a few people.

Well, it's kinda unlikely for Rogue to have her own ongoing series (most x-men women would unlikely have an ongoing) and I believe Rogue fans would still be fine that even if she'll be known as Ms Marvel, for as long as Rogue will have her own ongoing series.

If Moonstone was given an ongoing series as Ms Marvel, then Rogue can pull it off as the third Ms Marvel.

BY the way, did Moonstone's ongoing comics as Ms Marvel sell well?

I've actually just watched the x-men animated series when Rogue was struggling control of her own mind and body against Ms Marvel. and at the end of the episode, Rogue visited Carol at the hospital and Carol smiled. I like the story between them.

I see. I get ya. I don't know how would Rogue take the title especially that Ms Marvel is fine right now.

Love that you apologized for the image, lol. You don't need to do that. Personally I love Carol and want Marvel to have a nice summit this holiday season and figure out exactly what they need to do with her to make it work. On a side to that, if they shipped a Rogue solo book I would so all over that and all elated and rolling and purring (more than the everyday happening of that I mean) and put the issues on a top of a bunch of rose petals on the ground and do my little flappy hand dance around them in celebration...I mean, *meekly * I think it would be pretty neat if their was a Rogue series and she wouldn't even need to be Ms.Marvel for it. She's been the driving and cover spotlight character for Legacy off and on now for awhile and done a fine job.

@jhazzroucher: Wait! Maybe Rogue absorbs MOONSTONE'S powers instead! Then Moonstone would get a taste of what Carol went through as a bit of poetic justice! OR she could absorb exactly HALF of Apocalypse's powers and that would make them even matched arch-enemies because Apocalypse wants his power back and Rogue wants him to NOT do that... EVER! OR she could absorb the power of a very strong mutant who is dying and wants his/her powers to live on so that they can help save innocent people from harm long after he/ahe is gone. OR She could absob the powers of someone whose powers are growing to strong and the only way they can survive is by her taking half of them away. The possibilities are almost endless!

I don't think Rogue would be a good Ms. M. But you never know, it would all come down to the writing.
