That's why the judging would have been arbitrary.1.

Exitar could not be reasoned with or dissuaded from the murder of billions by winning a simple strength contest, and Marvel doesn't rank Rogue QUITE high enough to allow her that privilege anyway. Somebody would surely argue that, because she needed assistance to fully succeed, Rogue STILL didn't have the ability to hang with the DC powerhouses
-OR-
2. They would argue Rogue was TOO powerful in that arc, classifying fully at that point as a trans-tiered character.
Rogue had or has the ability to express powers from people previously touched throughout her history to this point, though. And had or has the ability to control how debilitating her physical touch is to other people. Would have made a VERY interesting opponent in this tourney considering Hulk, Wonder Man, Thor, and Professor Xavier count among her contacts.
You filled the blanks with something I didn't imply.
I meant that Rogue needed help to get the massive AMP.
A) She needed the Scarlet Witch to enhance her ability to store the power of All Earth Heroes.
B) She needed the participation of those heroes.
PS:
1. I know about this. You can notice that the power of all Heroes combined was unoticeable by Exitar (this guy is more powerful than the complete 4th host aka Arishem and other Celestials, when Arishem alone literally dwarves the 3 most powerful skyfathers).
2. IMO Rogue would shit on characters like Thanos in this state. She could probably tear Thanos apart easily.
I think that she is WAAAY too powerful for this tourney.
