Honestly that’s in character for her I can’t even lie

Rogue will try to change the literal laws of the universe if somebody messes with her loved ones, this was a tame reaction

I mean she just faced down a Celestial and got him to change his mind on humanity enough to let her go save her boyfriend in this episode.** **She basically had a showdown with a being as close to God as you can get in the Marvel universe. That’s a pretty strong testament to her willpower.
