I think your char's alignment will depend more on his motives and less on his actions. Why does he want to earn money for the Supergroup? Is he supporting their morals or just trying to boost their notoriety in the hero community? Are the goals of the Supergroup itself heroic? I think if he is supporting the heroic morals of the SG by employing questionable methods, that falls sqaurely into the category of vigilante. If he is doing it just to get the Supergroup noticed (i.e. prestige gain) or to make himself look good within the Supergroup, then he is definitely a rogue. |

Focus on the motives, not the actions. I believe it is the motives that define your character. Just my 2 inf.
Yes, he IS in it to help the Super group for their motives, not for his own self gain. However, the Rogue Tip Missions strike me as not in it for yourself, but more to make a good profit (not EXACTLY the same thing). No one says how the profit would be used, even if it means to fund a Supergroup.
Otherwise, good opinon, and appreciated. 
If anyone else feels to add their thoughts, go ahead. 
I'd say if he believes doing whatever it takes to support his supergroup makes him the good guy, he's a vigilante. Rogues are more amoral, and don't care about right and wrong as long as they get paid.
Knights Exemplar: Wolfram, Autumnfox, Starlit Spirit.
Militia: The Portent, Wavekite, Mr. Sandman.
The Cadre: WarpLocke, Zajin.
Numerous others.
Much of the mission text in the rogue missions refer to lining your own pockets. If he is doing these thing to benefit the super group and not himself, then rogue doesn't really fit if you are following the game's definition of a rogue. I would go vigilante, and if you are feeling extra extreme, hop over to the Rogue Isles and join a newspaper team.
