And now that moment you’ve all been waiting for – a classic instance of growth in comicdom (and since then not repeated, so far as I know, other then in fan-fictions and artworks) . . . Rogue “borrowing” She-Hulk’s powers.

Afterthoughts and observations -

Given the time and place that it was drawn it has almost as much going for as a rare instance of active on-screen female growth as it does in technical criticisms.  Especially, in the area of her outfit not splitting completely apart at the seams – a glaring error given the differences in overall height and size between Rogue and She-Hulk, to say nothing about the very recent past of the Savage period where Jen when transforming was reduced to wearing only her slip style of underwear.  Even if this was to be ignored, as it was by the artist who drew these panels, he should at the very least have caused Rogue to lose her boots in the process as Jen as the She-Hulk was constantly and continuously running around barefoot.

I think at the time marvel haddend decided if Rogue gained the physical attributs of the person who's power she was absorbing. As in the time she absorbed Thors power but did'nt grow an inch. Hehe but boy was she strong! As a trivia sidebar can anyone tell me who the theif was that the X-men were chassing and what he/she was stealing.

Great find, Alex, thanks for posting.  I agree, it was satisfying, but also a tragically wasted opportunity for realistic FMG.  Very cool, though.
