I have to wonder about something...

Why is it that Marvel won't give this couple a chance? I have to scratch my head, because when you look at the amazing chemistry that Scott and Rogue had in X-Men Evolution, it just opens up a huge world of possiblities. Scott and Rogue have the most potential in my opinion, I mean, when you look at their struggles, they're the same. When you look at them, you can see something happen between them.

I think that Scott and Rogue could be soulmate material, they just need their chance.

I mean, this couple is probably the rarest X-Men couple I know, so it's really hard to find anything for them, so I'm rather pleased that at the end of X-Men Evolution where Rogue lands next to Scott was something deliberate. Scott and Rogue, when they are with each other, they feel freedom to be themselves.

They are sensitive souls, and sensitive souls need to be taken care of. Scott and Rogue could very well heal each other, and protect each other from further harm.

I would buy a Scogue book series in a hearbeat if Marvel actually did this!

i think that's the problem. there's nothing to look at between them in 616. :/ they were my otp in evo, but they're completely different beasts in comics-canon. they're not even that close (or similar imo).

a writer would have to create the pairing from scratch in one of the core 616 books or an out-of-continuity mini, then pray it became successful.

As I said, the similarity is there, even in the 616 universe. However, yeah, when you look at their core canon forms at first glance, you wouldn't think they'd have much in common. (Not to mention, their respective personalities, as they couldn't be any more different.) It's a pairing that you have to think about in depth, then it makes more sense. Which is why I like the pairing.

And I agree, as it would take some effort to write them or 'create the pairing from scratch.' Then again, who knew Scott/Emma would become so successful? So, it can work, depending on how one goes about it.
