** This depends on which [[Alternate Universe|incarnation]] you are discussing. It also depends on what the technology does specifically. In Evolution, Nightcrawler's hologram machine is only able to change the appearance, but is still a blue furry humanoid with three fingers on each hand. The animated series had devices that nullified powers on the mutant-hating Genosha, but the controllers would be a hassle to carry everywhere and she would need to hide it so it does not get damaged or turned against her. And they also send shocks to the wearer if I am not mistaken. And this is one of the best examples of your proposed 'mutant negation technology' that exists in the many X-Men incarnations. |

** One of the explanations is also that most of the technology was developed by people who hate mutants and want to kill them, and thus using their inventions for her own benefit offends her morals. It would be roughly equivalent to taking a vaccine developed by Nazis who had experimented on imprisoned Jews to perfect it... some people wouldn't have a moral problem with that, some would, Rogue can simply be assumed to be the latter. |

*** However, at least one version of the 'power nullifier' technology was invented by Doctor Doom for keeping people locked up in his prison cells. And while Doom is still a supervillain, is not only ''not'' one of the mutant genocide advocates but is also someone the X-Men (including Rogue) have demonstrably been willing to temporarily ally with in the past. And while it could be argued that Doom's prices might be prohibitive, by this point Reed Richards has fully analyzed this technology of Doom's in order to be able to defeat it -- which means he can also build it. And Reed wouldn't charge Rogue a thing. |

*** Additionally, one of the X-Men's recurring allies -- Forge -- has invented a device that is capable of ''permanently'' neutralizing a mutant's powers. Which means he has already made the basic theoretical leap re: neutralizing mutant powers. At this point, building a version of the device that only acts temporarily, or is conveniently portable and easily reversible, is only a matter of application. So somebody get Forge and Hank McCoy into the lab already. Or ask Reed Richards or Tony Stark for a consult. |
