She also absorbed Carol's personality as well (something I don't think anyone has said is that Rogue absorbs their personality and memories as well as their powers), but that very interesting part of her character (the Carol Danvers' personality bit) was removed during the horrible, horrible 90's around the time that Jim Lee took over as the artist, Psylocke was turned into a Wolverine clone, and Gambit and Jubilee were introduced.
Here is an amusing synopsis of the powers Rogue gained from Carol, starting with how Carol got them herself. It even has pictures!
