girl of the day #1

The Proust questionnaire asks, "Which historical figure do you most identify with?" Sometimes, my pick is this girl:

In the X-Men comics, Rogue has the power to absorb the abilities of any other mutant, meaning that when she touches another person, she sucks the lifesource out of them. If she touches them for too long, they can't bounce back. In other words, Rogue cannot touch her boyfriend without killing him.

She can, however, be physically close to someone, as long as they don't make actual contact. Plus, with gloves on, she can hold hands. Lucky.

(The image is from the film X-3: The Last Stand. It's a doodle done by one of Rogue's little mutant classmates.)
