Rogue's real name and early history were not revealed until more than 20 years after her introduction. Until the back story provided by Robert Rodi in the ongoing "Rogue" series, begun in September 2004, her background was only hinted at. This resulted in Rodi's version of Rogue's origins inadvertently conflicting with earlier information. In "X-Men Unlimited" #4, Scott Lobdell indicates that Rogue ran away from her father after her mutant powers manifested, but in "Uncanny X-Men" #182, Rogue reflects that she never knew her father because he had left before she was born, and several issues, including "Uncanny X-Men" #178 and "X-Men" #93, indicate that Rogue was taken in by Mystique and Destiny before her mutation became active.
