Rogue’s got a lot of stuff going on, so we’ve compiled a list of questions and answers to the rules regarding Rogue and her hero pack cards. First, here are some keyword shortcuts that you might need when playing Rogue:
Touched Related Questions
Q. Can Rogue attach Touched to herself?
A. No. Rogue cannot attach Touched to herself. Her Skin contact ability specifies “another character”, which excludes her, and her Energy Transfer specifically states “other than Rogue”. No jokes about touching yourself allowed.
Q. After I move Touched do I keep the traits?
A. Yes. Every time you attach Touched to a target Rogue gain all the traits of that target until the end of round.
Q. If the target of Touch is defeated, do I keep the traits?
A. Yes. Once you attach Touched to a target Rogue gain all the traits until the end of round, even if the original target is defeated.
Q. After changing to Alter Ego do I lose all the traits from Touched?
A. No. You keep the traits until the end of round.
Q. What does “find Touched” means?
A. When you are instructed to find a card, search each game area where that card could be found (play area, set-aside area, player deck, discard pile, encounter deck, etc.). That also include Ultron drones. Shuffle each deck you searched after that.
Q. Does Touched stay on the villain when he changes phases?
A. Yes. When a villain phase is defeated and the villain moves to the next phase (from I to II, or II to III), all attachments are moved to the next phase including Touched.
Superpower Adaptation Related Questions

A. After you play an event taken with Superpower Adaptation, that event is discard to the event owner’s discard.
Q. If the player is defeated while I still have an event taken with Superpower Adaptation, do I lose that event?

A. No. Until the Gambit identity player is in play you cannot play your Gambit ally based on the unique ruling. However, if the Gabmit player is defeated, you can play your ally.
Q. If I play Gambit’s Natural Agility or Royal Flush, do I put a counter?
A. Once you play Gambit’s Natural Agility or Royal Flush you play the charge counter on the Gambit hero (only if they are in hero form). If Gambit player is defeated, and your Gambit ally is in play, you can place it on your ally.
Q. If I play Gambit’s Natural Agility do you get the extra defence?
A. When you play Gambit’s Natural Agility and Gambit is in hero form you get +1 DEF for each counter on Gambit. It the Gambit player is defeated and you have your Gambit ally in play, you get extra +1 DEF for each counter on the ally.
