Play de game 'long as it's good. When it turns bad, move on. Dis time, look like I be de one left at de table." First Appearance: X-Men #266, August 1990 Description: A native of New Orleans, this clever cajun character is a thief whose mutant talent enables him to convert an object's stored potential energy into kinetic energy. Gambit enhances his kinetic energy power with superior martial arts skills. Remy Lebeau also has the power of hypnotic charm which is a subtle psychic ability to win trust. By trade, Gambit is ranked among the world's master thieves. He became an X-Man after he befriended Storm, co-leader of the X-men. Althought Gambit is a thief, he only steals from crooks, gamblers and other criminals. There is another important thing to mention about Gambit's power. It seems that now, he can charge organic matters (like flesh) and that he doesn't always need to touch the object that he wants to charge in order to succeed. New son had allowed his power to become stronger. We don't know yet the extend of these. But it seems that Gambit's kinetic powers could destroy the World... (Gambit #21) What Rogue said to Gambit: "You were supposed to be everything Ah'd ever dreamed of, Remy Lebeau. But when Ah kissed ya and absorbed yoah memories, Ah discovered that mah knight in shining armor was really a thief of hearts. Ya left me no choice but t'scat and find a way to forgive you."
