Call me slow, but I was rereading X-Men #1 by Brian Wood and Oliver Coipel. Yes, yes, I know it's a great book and all according to reviews, but there is ONEthing I didn't realise until I reread it. I mean, this should have been super-obvious and all but...

Since when could Rogue fly? I mean, I thought she lost her Ms Marvel powers (super strength, endurance and flight) after Mike Carey and Bachelo did the strain-somethingsomething issues in the Supernovas TPB (or #188 - #199 for the single issue readers like myself). I read somewhere alone that she probably got her powers from Northstar and all, but it is not explicitly mentioned in the book, right?

@tomchu: I think she mentions in that issue or the next that she's borrowing Northstar's powers.

I remember thinking it was kind of random since she could borrow flight from Storm, but then there's that bit with the train.

Yeah. She explains on the panel below, on that same page of the scan you posted. Re-reread it.

@ageofhurricane: @oldnightcrawler:

Oh yeah, Thanks! It was such a small one liner that I completely read past it.

@tomchu: no worries, I feel like I missed it myself the first time.

that would've been great if she drained ms marvel again. absolutely friggin great. put that lady back in a coma

@phisigmatau: would love that too

Rogue should permanently absorb Colossus.

Is that an odd sexual reference?
