Note From the Editor: This week, Superhero Hype is welcoming back our special guest cosplay correspondent: AGflower. She previously shared her take on Black Cat from the video game, Marvel’s Spider-Man. This time, she’s taking on Savage Land Rogue from Chris Claremont and artist Jim Lee’s Uncanny X-Men #269. Although Rogue only wore this outfit for two issues over 30 years ago, it’s become one of her iconic costumes. It’s also a very popular costume among cosplayers. However, very few cosplayers get all of the details right.
I really like Rogue. She is a very outwardly strong woman, but in her soul, she is very vulnerable. Her abilities are her strength, and at the same time, also her pain. I really appreciate characters who struggle with their inner tragedy and experiences.
I’ve made my favorite Rogue costumes, classic and Savage Land. I also like Rogue’s look in X-Men Evolution. Perhaps someday, I will make that costume too.
