When Touched is on an ally, Rogue gains the Aerial trait, Goin' Rogue removes +2 threat, and Southern Cross gets +2 damage. That Swinging Web Kick territory. With this all around strength in both thwarting and damage, Rogue can lead a team of Psionic allies, of which the Leadership aspect is replete.
Any ally is a suitable target for Touched as they all have the Psionic trait (sans Gambit). Fantomex is a great target because E.V.A. gives him built-in healing and therefore sustainability. Call for Backup to more easily get him into play.
As a Psionic hero, Rogue has access to Psychic Kicker, one of the best ally-focused events in the game. While Touched is on a Leadership ally, use Superpower Adaptation to retrieve it from discard.
Boost ally abilities further with Danger Room Training. Get Children of the Atom in play to be able to put this upgrade on Fantomex and Cable.
With 3 ally slots, Fantomex and Cable remain on the table while the other allies have abilities that want them to leave and re-enter play in the final slot. Rapid Response any of them, usually Gambit to reload his charge counters. Also helpful to have him around with Beauty and the Thief in hand. Clear New Recruits to bring in a New ally, which does not count against the ally limit, to boost with Psychic Kicker.
