This is Rogue with Ms. Marvel's powers ONLY (no power absorption) vs current Luke Cage. Fight takes place in the Great Lawn section of Central Park. Both of them are fighting in character but fighting to win.
IMHO, I think C.Rogue wins after a good fight. She definitely has the mobility and speed advantage. Strength/Durability/Stamina is more or less equal (especially with the way Cage has been written up these past few years).

But with that monster she's facing here... nobody can be sure. Even Namor had trouble and he had both the advantage of a sneak attack and most of the fight happening underwater.
Yeah but that was AvX though. The BS was piled thick and high there. Lots of fights made no sense, case in point Rachel with NO PF vs Thor. She actually did better without the PF than with (they had fought before and Thor one shotted her). Didn't Domino beat Rulk? Black Widow was actually owning Magik till Magik took the fight to Limbo or something. Absolutely ridiculous.
EDIT
Thanks for the correction DarkSaint.

not sure how she looked better. They both landed the same amount of hits and they were both doing just fine. It's just that she used bfr to get rid of him.
No not that. I was referring to your comment about Luke Cage holding his own vs Thing back in the day. It didn't happen the way people think it happened. I posted scans but long story short it's this :
Thing was depowered and in human form. Reed made him a "Thing suit" so he could still contribute to the team. The "Thing suit" was and I'm quoting Reed himself here "about as strong as Power Man (aka Luke Cage)". That's the Thing Luke Cage fought. Thing even commented that the suit wasn't as strong as he was in his true rock form.

Strength and durability are actually pretty close, with Cage possibly being stronger while Rogue was slightly more durable (maybe?).
Cage's strength has definitely grown over the decades. These days he has to be at least between class 65-70 when compared to the Thing's overall strength which is also comparable to Ironclad, Proxima Midnight, and the Rhino's strength levels. His showing against Namor for the most part shows approximately how much damage that he can take. On the other hand, classic Rogue would have been able to take a full punch from Namor without being Ko'd as well. Binary punched her after all, which was easily as strong as Namor's best punch. She'd be a bit shaken, but she was nearly indestructible.
With her speed and durability, she my be able to knock him out if she flew into him at very high speeds with a solid enough strike imo.

But yeah, she got the upper hand. And fast.
