Oh, and from behind, Rogue's ponytail would jut out, and the fringes on his bangs would be visible from the side, hence the "spiky hair".

And I'd like to point out that giving me a different perspective doesn't change what I believe. I believe that, like Misk said, if Future Rogue is Shadow, then he was testing fate. If he succeeded, then maybe the Dragons wouldn't have come. Who knows? So, since it failed, he'd just go to the root of the problem, which, in this case, is apparently Lucy.
