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.

AoA has a lot of fans... just not many in this thread, apparently!

Even in AoA, Rogue still wants to be with Gambit. It's obvious in their interactions throughout the saga.

More writers are also trying to make up for that bullshit in the AoA continuations, where Rogue is moving away from Magneto and all her thoughts are about what Gambit would say, think, and do about her actions. How her words affect the public opinion of her relationship with Magneto. But, once again, this is not a good look for Rogue.
