History:

X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "A Rogue's Tale" (fb) - BTS) - The young Cody Robbins became Rogue's first boyfriend.

X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "The Cure" (fb) / X-Men: The Animated Series - "A Rogue's Tale" (fb)) - During a romantic evening, Robbins brought his girlfriend Rogue to the river where the shared their first kiss. However, without a warning Rogue suddenly manifested her mutant powers causing her to absorb Cody's life force which inadvertently rendering the boy comatose.

X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "The Cure" - BTS) - Robbins was brought to the hospital where he spend the following three days in a coma.

X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "A Rogue's Tale" - BTS) - News of Robbins fate quickly reached Rogue's father who disowned his daughter for being a mutant. Rogue in turn ran away from town before Robbins could even wake up which lead her to eventually be taken in by Mystique and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Love in Vain" (fb) - BTS) - Preparing for her passing, the extraterrestrial Colony Queen chose Rogue as the perfect host body to produce a new queen. Fearing a direct attack would result in failure the Colony decided to use Cody Robbins as a pawn to convince Rogue to join them willingly. After locating Robbins they dusted him spores which would slowly transform him into one of the Colony.

X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Love in Vain") - Cody Robbins, under the influence of the Colony, reached out to Rogue after which the two met up in the city. After reacquainting themselves Robbins pulled Rogue into a nearby alley where one of the Colony secretly dusted Rogue with the spores. After sharing a kiss (without her mutant powers being activated) Rogue fell unconscious after which the Colony appeared again while Robbins already expressed his deepest regrets of causing his love pain.

X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Love in Vain") - The following day, Robbins joined Rogue on a trip to the X-Men headquarters so she could ask her mentor, Professor Xavier, for some time off to discover if she and Robbins could have a future together. Professor Xavier, however, refused Rogue's request as they'd just received Wolverine's cry for help (having dealt with the Colony on his own). Upset, Rogue refused to help the X-Men and took off with Robbins. Robbins and Rogue boarded one of the X-Men's smaller jets as Robbins set course for the Colony's ship unaware the X-Men were also on route to help Wolverine.

    The duo arrived amidst a fiery battle between the Colony and the X-Men, shocked to learn she'd been brought to extraterrestrials who were fighting her friends she questioned Cody's motives who could only stutter it was the only way for them to be together. Robbins stood by as Rogue tried to help her friends until they were surrounded by the Colony. Just then, Wolverine, who'd been dusted with the spores before, began transforming into one of the Colony. Still in control of himself, Wolverine fled the scene leaving the X-Men behind to be captured. Having been defeated, the X-Men were helpless to watch as Cody Robbins also transformed into one of the Colony. Desperate for help, Storm telepathically reached out to Professor hoping their mentor could rescue them.

    Robbins escorted Rogue inside the Acanti ship while the other Colony members brought the unconscious Beast, Gambit and Storm inside. Rogue pleaded with Cody to understand what had happened, Cody explained it was the only way the two of them could be truly together. But just as Rogue herself began transforming into one of the Colony the Colony Queen herself appeared. The Colony Queen took hold of Rogue and reassured the mutant there was no turning back, explaining she'd been chosen to become a Colony Queen herself to follow in her footsteps. The Queen continued, revealing Cody Robbins had been nothing more than a pawn to reach her, this news caused Rogue to breakdown believing she once again was the cause for Cody's suffering.

    Just then, Wolverine returned, seemingly healed from the Colony parasite, took hold of Rogue's bare skin causing her to absorb Wolverine's healing factor. Rogue apologized to Cody as they would never be part of the Colony together after which she used Wolverine's healing factor to purge herself of the infestation. Healed, Rogue and Wolverine freed Beast, Gambit and Storm but were opposed by the Colony Queen and her troops. In a final effort to trap the X-Men, the Colony Queen ordered the Acanti to return to space with them trapped inside. However, it was the X-Men's mentor Professor X who used his telepathic abilities to reach out into the Acanti's mind and free the creature of its enslavement. Now freed, the Acanti roared its beautiful whale-like song which intensely hurt Robbins and the Colony, unable to act and stop the mutants, the X-Men successfully fled the Colony's ship through the Acanti's mouth. Just as the X-Men left, Rogue begged Robbins to join them in the hopes of one day restoring him. Cody, however, merely hissed at his former girlfriend, now fully transformed he returned to his kind.

    The Acanti, with the Colony trap inside it returned to space their fates unrevealed.

I was unable to find Cody Robbins' voice-actor.

When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. All Earth-92131 profiles on the Marvel Appendix reflected that information, however, this has since been debunked with the news that the original X-Men: The Animated Series will receive a brand new season to pick up where the original series ended. As such the reality seen in two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015-2017) now have their own reality-designation. The X-Men '92: House of XCII 2022 series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. Nearly thirty years after X-Men: The Animated Series first debuted the new season will appear on Disney+ in fall 2023.
