senmut: modern style black canary on right in front of modern style deathstroke (Comics: Gambit and Rogue)

See, I quit reading the Marvel Titles mostly back when they killed Illyana Rasputin with the Legacy Virus. Noped out as fast as I did DC Comics in more recent years.

So that is the era, leading up to that, which defined for me the Remy/Rogue I loved (with a side of that complicated Joseph/Magneto-clone). Basically from the launch of the unadjectived X-Men up to Illyana's death.

AND I LOVED THEM. But I think I loved them with a side of the Moonlighting Curse. The chemistry/banter/innuendo was the hook, and I didn't WANT an on-panel endgame between them (as opposed to me and Storm/Forge, for instance, that got bitterly thwarted somewhere in the midst of that.)

In Evolution, Rogue still has plenty of problems with interpersonal relationships and isolation, but considerable time and energy is given to developing her confidante/heterosexual life partner relationship with her brother, Kurt Wagner.

Okay, I melted a little just reading that line. Because my all time favorite What If was the one where Mystique did raise them both... the brother/sister dynamic is near and dear to my heart.
