But she doesn't kill the people she touches, usually
my brother in christ of nazareth, listen to yourself
"she only kills them sometimes!"
That's not what I meant, and it isn't entirely accurate anyway. Her power absorbs the energy of the people she touches, it doesn't just kill them.
I don't believe Rogue has ever killed anyone with her touch by accident. The most obvious counterpoint would be Carol Danvers, but that situation had as much to do with Ms. Marvel's powers as it did Rogue's. Maybe you're confusing her with another character that has an instant death poke, but in most universes, Rogue's powers aren't inherently more dangerous than the average mutant's, providing she accepts them as part of herself.
She was traumatized by nearly killing someone when her X-Gene first activated, and she refused to gain any sort of mastery over her powers for a long time because of that. Just like other mutants, Rogue's abilities are core to her identity, and a huge part of her journey was acknowledging that fact and learning to control them. If she had followed your sentiments, she probably wouldn't have made that journey.
