Gambit |X-Men

Personality:   Remy LeBeau, better known as the charming thief Gambit, is a mutant with the ability to charge inanimate objects with energy that results in massive explosions, usually deploying playing cards as portable bombing devices. Raised by the Thieves Guild,Gambit's dark path led him to become a secret agent for the vile Mister Sinister. After befriending fellow mutant thief Storm, he was invited to join the X-Men, and had the opportunity to redeem himself. Although the roguish and secretive Gambit often disagreed with the X-Men's sense of morality, his soft spot for abandoned kids caused him to integrate well into the team while getting close to many of its members, especially Rogue whom he developed a complicated romance with. Upon learning of his past association with Mister Sinister, the X-Men rejected his membership, though he was eventually pardoned and made it back to the team. Ever restless, Gambit has come and gone many times since, most notably leaving the X-Men for a time after becoming a Horseman of Apocalypse and a Marauder. Eventually, with his cunning skills, Gambit rose to the position of world-leader of the Thieves Guild.[23] After getting married to Rogue, Gambit has accompanied her in many adventures. Together, they revived the X-Men in a world in need of integration between humans and mutants. For that purpose, they established a sanctuary in the bayou area of Louisiana in order to offer asylum to young mutants in need of shelter and guiding. X-Treme X-Men Remy was later framed by mutant businessman Sebastian Shaw for the death of the Australian crime lord Viceroy. With the assistance of Rogue, her team of X-Treme X-Men, and former Triad member Red Lotus, Remy was able to clear his name. Soon after, Remy became embroiled in the X-Treme X-Men's fight against an alien invasion of Earth. He was captured and used as a power source for the invaders to open a portal that would allow their full invasion fleet to pass through and complete the conquest of Earth. The process was halted by the enigmatic villain known as Vargas, who plunged his sword into Remy's chest. Remy survived but found that he had lost his mutant abilities. As a result, he and the also-powerless Rogue sought to live a normal life together and retired from the X-Men.[40] However, try as they might, a normal life was not for them to lead as the pair soon became embroiled in the X-Treme X-Men's fight against the mutant predator Elias Bogan. After Bogan was defeated, the X-Man named Sage used her mutant ability to "jumpstart" Remy's mutant powers and he rejoined the team.[41] Personality To those who don't know Remy LeBeau, they'd perhaps describe him as 'free', 'charming', 'a flirt.' Gambit has proven time, and time again, to be a man who enjoys life, and intends to live it to its fullest with every gamble. The problem? Gambit is a mask. Beneath the facade of 'Gambit', sits Remy LeBeau. A man riddled with guilt, anxiety, a complex, sad, angst filled character, who regrets nearly everything he's done. Remy LeBeau cares, and that's his problem. He can't help but care. He has a soft spot for those in need, for strays abandoned, left to fend for themselves. Often a source of distrust amongst those he calls allies, Remy fights hard to prove himself a true hero, and an even better husband, so that maybe, just maybe, he can find a family...that doesn't turn him away. A long, tan trench coat or duster, often with a hood. A tight, dark-colored (usually black or navy) bodysuit or shirt and pants. A pair of gloves and boots, often matching the dark color scheme. A distinctive belt, sometimes with pouches or ammunition. Gambit's signature accessories include playing card motifs, which may be incorporated into his costume design.

Energy Conversion: Remy has the power to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy, thus "charging" that item with explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object. The larger it is, the more time it takes. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of his explosions is dependent on the mass of the object he is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade. He typically cannot utilize his powers on living matter or organic molecules, although he has demonstrated the ability to do so on occasion. These powers have been altered on various occasions; sometimes bolstered while other times weakened.They were most notably augmented once by Sage to enable him to accelerate his own regeneration process and better control his kinetic shifting, and again by Faiza when he was shot through the head by a crime lord and spat a bullet back at him that eviscerated the latter. Dissolution: Gambit can also cause objects to pull themselves apart instead of exploding violently making them harmlessly melt down to nothing. Once having focused charging on dissolving shrapnel in a victim's stomach and at times when jump-started able to overcharge falling debris from crumbling buildings. His control over this has increased to the point he can shatter ice he was encased in without blowing up. Disruption: Gambit can take his explosive acceleration to temporarily scramble the sensory awareness of a person, knocking them out cold. Enhanced Conditioning: Gambit's ability to tap energy also grants him increased speed, strength, reflexes and reactions, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance as a side effect, bestowing him an added edge he has used to his advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style. Under normal circumstances, the physical "charge" he receives makes his abilities exceptional, but not quite superhuman. Accelerating Regeneration: Gambit can enhance his own recovery rate by stimulating his own cellular activity. Through this process he once healed after removing a bone slag lodged in his chest Another time, when his eyes were damaged by a charged card exploding in his face, Sage augmented his powers and enabled him to restore his sight, indicating his regenerative powers are innate yet sparsely used. Speed Augmentation: LeBeau can use his kinetic abilities to vastly increase his reflexes and locomotion to incredible extremes. Shown by dodging bullets, lasers, catching a bullet and throwing it back, blocking bullets with his staff, able to dodge missiles, spotting a magical bullet and knocking it out of the air scant moments before it struck him in the eye. Enhancement: Can supercharge the energy both converted and accelerated to get more of a bang out of even the smallest objects as well as giving them greater concussive or stopping power. Static Interference: Creates natural static, because of the charged potential energy always in his body, that shields his mind from intrusion by telepaths. Can increase the effect by holding a charged object near his head. Although reportedly uncomfortable for the parties involved, this shield does not totally prevent telepathic invasion. Vibration Emission: Gambit, through kinetic acceleration instead of conversion, can emit a shockwave accompanying a bright flashbang which leaves a sizable crater in the ground He can also charge items and not have them explode, such as his bo staff and even Captain America's shield. Rather than exploding, the energy is released upon impact. Remote Charging: At the height of his power, Mr. LeBeau could activate the potential/kinetic conversion process of matter from a distance with nothing but direct eye contact. He seems to possess a similar skill to focus his accelerating abilities with a gesture while out in the field with Excalibur. Shearing/Cutting: By charging his cards, Remy can use them to slice through objects as dense as solid steel without worry of them exploding. Acceleration Bestowal: Gambit can take the energy locked within a charged slug and use it in order to continue pushing it forwards and onward in a given direction with enough concentration, even though a solid energy field while withholding its explosive reaction. Delayed Charge: With some effort, Gambit can prolong the detonation time of his activated discharge, causing a slight lag when he's preparing his potential/kinetic conversion of matter into a volatile state. Hypnotic Charm: Subliminal psionic talent channeled through his voice that allows a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Gambit to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. More powerful minds have proven immune to Gambit's charm, and people who are consciously aware of what he's doing can shake off the effects. Mutant Energy Control: Taking a new perspective on how Remy's kinetic abilities work, Julio Richter enlisted his aid in using the shared energy which mutants' harness in order to utilize their superpowers. Using his own abilities in conjunction with those on the Excalibur team, he was able to facilitate a summoning spell to retrieve fallen comrade. Former Powers Abilities Multilingual: He is fluent in English and Louisiana French. He also knows some Japanese though he is not very fluent. Master Marksman: He is extremely skilled in throwing small objects such as cards, bolas, knives, and balls with great accuracy. Master Martial Artist: A profound fighter, often employing martial arts, street fighting, and acrobatics. He is well adept in the martial arts Savate (French kickboxing), and Bojutsu, the art of using a Bo staff. Master Stick Fighter: Remy's extreme skills in Bojutsu makes him dangerously skilled in the use of his bo staff. Master Thief Gifted Intellect: Gambit is a born strategist, and without studying, he managed to prove himself to be one of the greatest strategists of the X-Men. It is possible that he is as good a strategist as Wolverine or Beast. Weaknesses Generally, Gambit's powers require physical contact to function and were nearly, if not totally, incapable of affecting organic matter. His abilities have occasionally been augmented so that these limitations are no longer applicable. Indeed, these limits were artificially imposed on him by Mister Sinister's surgery when his true power levels proved too much for Remy to master. Paraphernalia Equipment Gambit's guild costume is armored, providing better protection than a normal X-Men uniform, according to Gambit himself, there may be a slight headache from being hit, but bullets and energy blasts will bounce off the armor. Eye of Agamotto: Gambit stole it from Sadurang and promise to return it to him, on condition that he would not attack humans for a year. Weapons Cards. Bō Staff: Gambit also often uses a telescoping bō staff. Transportation Motorcycle Notes In X-Men (Vol. 2) #1, Gambit was called an Acadian, a reference to his status as a Cajun. It is through 18th-century Acadian migrants to Louisiana and their connections with African, Spanish, and Native American people of the area that the Cajun ethnic group formed. Modern Cajuns mostly speak English, but some -- like Gambit -- still speak Louisiana French, a declining French dialect diversified in Louisiana, or the Louisiana Creole shared with their deeply intertwined sister culture. Gambit had a piece of his brain stem removed in the present time, but had it re-implanted in Victorian era England, which resulted in a predestination paradox for his surgeon, Mister Sinister -- while reattaching the brain matter in the 19th century, Essex recognized his own work and realized he would perform the surgery that originally removed the brain matter sometime in his future but Gambit's past. Gambit carries Clint Barton's Avengers Identicard, which he stole from him. Remy liked to catch and play with crayfish. Gambit has three cats, given to him by Mystique.They are all named after cats from Disney films (Oliver, Lucifer, and Figaro).
