A Cajun thief from the New Orleans Thieves Guild with the mutant ability to charge objects with explosive kinetic energy. Gambit arrived in the X-Men fully formed — charming, mysterious, carrying playing cards and a bo staff and a secret history with Mister Sinister that would haunt him for years. His romance with Rogue, two people who literally cannot touch, became one of the franchise's most iconic love stories.
