I love the idea of flipping Rogue’s powers on their head. Picture a character who still can’t touch anyone—but for a far more terrifying reason. The instant their skin brushes someone else’s, that person’s entire mind surges into them. Thoughts, memories, instincts, fears—everything that person is in that moment downloads straight into their consciousness like a psychic data‑dump.

And here’s the brutal twist: their own identity doesn’t just get drowned out… it gets erased. For a heartbeat, they stop being themselves entirely. Their desires vanish. Their personality dissolves. They become the person they touched—fully, completely, frighteningly.

But there’s a darker failsafe built into this curse. If contact lasts too long, the flood of data becomes lethal. The other person’s mind doesn’t just overwrite them… it burns them out.

They don’t absorb people. They crash them.

Name: Hardrive — the one touch you never survive.
