Heh, while verifying my source, I realized that Rogue had tried to kiss ROM to absorb his powers. Rogue also looks middle-aged!



EDIT: Alas... these old stories are lost to the ages (whell... outside Torrent, anyway) because a defunct toy company owns ROM's rights (the Micronauts also mixed with the X-men and the FF but they're now split between Marvel (its original characters) and I guess Devil's Due Publishing (the toy-based characters).

My hat's off to you meihuar, I was/am a huge Rom fan and that was one of my first X-men experiences. Rogue looked 40 because Sal often drew villainesses with angular and lined faces, however, that didn't keep me from having a crush on her as a kid! Guess I had a thing for older 'looking' women Of all of the character's looks, that one is my favorite.

As for Rom and the licensing hell surrounding the Galadorian Spaceknight, please don't get me started. I collected nearly the entire vol 1 run and a Hasbro fig of him is sadly one of my most dreamed of births that will never ever come to fruition. I've similar sentiments for most of the Micronauts, especially Acroyear and Devil...
