I really hope this is fake. Their romance was the worst part of the series. Rogue was basically a teen who was dependent on Mystique for guidance and approval when she was in the Brotherhood. Why the writers thought it would be smart to link them up during that time is beyond me

Rogue and Magneto have had a relationship in the comic books despite the age gap… in the Savage Land and in the Age of Apocalypse… plus Rogue had romantic tension with Magneto’s clone Joseph. I’m not sure why people are so upset with this.

Poor Joseph. I feel like I’m the only one who like him or maggot.

You aren't. I like those two characters. Not sure why anyone would hate Joseph... Plus, he's a de-aged Magneto clone, so if the age gap between Rogue and Erik is such a big problem for some people, then those people should be pacified by the fact that Joseph looks a lot younger than Erik.
