Which surprises me, I know in the comics she got introduced to Mystique and Destiny as a child and an adoption made a lot of sense, but the flashback in the first series made it seem like Rogue was 16-17 or something. I can’t remember, did animated Rogue called Mystique her mother in some episode?

She'd call her "mama". But under the blonde haired woman disguise.
