- Scarlet in Glory - Continued from Wolverine (Marvel, 1982 series) #4. In a "what is she talking about" moment, Rogue tells Wolverine that the poison wasn't as effective on her as she is "half-alien." (undoubtedly a reference to the Ms. Marvel powers and memories she took from Carol Danvers - Rogue occasionally calls herself a "Kree warrior" when the Danvers personality surfaces).
