Rogue's mutant powers do not allow her to fly and have super strength. She acquired them from holding onto Ms Marvel too long and permanently absorbing her powers and psyche. I'm assuming they simply wanted to use the original character for Rogue.
As a side note, Before she joined the X-men, Rogue was also one of the brotherhood of evil mutants Mystique was her adopted mom, which is why in #2 their was a subtle insinuation that Mystique and Rogue had a history.
Magneto also led the X-men at one point, appointed by Xavier himself I believe...

Cyclops, Professor X and the others Jean killed disintegrated. She couldn't do it to Wolverine because his powers kept regenerating.
Juggernaut is only dangerous IF he builds up momentum like Magneto said when they read his prisoner manifest. Originally Juggernaut isn't a mutant. He got his powers in a Thor comic book from a goddess or witch from Aesgard.
With the amount of money this movie is making there's definitely going to be many, many more sequels. The stars would have to be insane to turn down that much money. Sure there'll be spinoffs because they have enough momentum to do so. A Wolverine back story spinoff with the Weapon X saga is gonna rock the box office.
It was great to see The Beast. He was always a fun character. The Danger Room was a staple in the X Men books. Angel's storyline was good but wrong place. Magneto using the bridge was spectacular but unnecessary. With all the cars and metal on that bridge he could have altered them into a platform and levitated them to the island. I'm sure there was enough metal in the building to use as weapons to defeat the troops. Also, storm can cause tornadoes and again her power was misused. She coulda wiped out the evil mutants in one stroke. Magneto saw Colossus so why didn't he just ice him right there. Speaking of ice, Bobby the Iceman could have done in 90% of the evil mutants on his own. He should have axed Pyro though. Rogue flies and has super strength in the comics. She shoulda showed up too.
One time Magneto caught Wolverine and sucked all the adamantium out of his body. That shit was ghoulish. Why he didn't do it this time is beyond me.
I don't think the characters Dark Phoenix disintegrated are dead, somehow they'll be revealed to have been absorbed into her power as she can't die. She'll come back.
It would have been cool to have seen a cameo by Spidey. These Marvel movies are making phat loot and should have some cameos now and then. If they keep sticking to the books they'll take over the box office.
Romance and fighting always win at the box office.
