Actually, one PC is from New Orleans and another is a Cajun from the Atchafalaya Basin, so when they said 'Southern', they meant the kind of rural deep Southern accent that they associate with northern Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi or East Texas (and elsewhere, of course, but NPCs from those areas are in play). Neither of them thinks of themselves as having an accent and, in any case, neither of them has an accent that is anything like the accent of someone from East Texas (Matthew McConaughey), Alabama (Lucas Black) or Mississippi (Elvis Presley).

In fairness, though, the PCs didn't give anyone cross-gendered code names, so maybe that's why Rogue wasn't mentioned. That being said, I don't remember her as being presented as Southern in the movies.

In any case, Jimbo Harden, former Special Warfare Boat Operator (SB) from the SWWC teams born in Gulfport, Mississippi, would not have appreciated the reference if they'd given him the code name Rogue. Not that he'd have got it, not knowing superheroes except from films, but he's very happy with his current code name, Warmachine, because it sounds awesome.
