In the comics, Rogue's feelings for Wolverine are a central element of their relationship, but it's portrayed as a mixture of:
* Attraction: Rouge is drawn to Wolverine's strength, rebellious nature, and the fact that he's the only one who seems to truly understand her.
* Fear: Rogue's powers are uncontrollable and dangerous. She fears hurting Wolverine, which creates a barrier between them.
* Guilt: She blames herself for her inability to touch him without absorbing his memories and powers, adding to her emotional turmoil.
In the movies:
* X-Men (2000): The movie hints at a mutual attraction but mostly focuses on Rogue's struggle with her powers and her yearning for a normal life.
* X2: X-Men United (2003): The movie explores their bond further, with Rogue seeking Wolverine's help. While the chemistry is evident, it doesn't explicitly delve into romantic feelings.
* X-Men: The Last Stand (2006): Their relationship is minimal, focusing on the mission and Rogue's internal struggles.
Overall:
Rogue's feelings for Wolverine are definitely present in both comics and movies, but the exact nature of those feelings is complex and evolves over time. It's more about a deep connection and shared understanding than a clear-cut romantic love story.
