edited "Gambit is a mutant and his primary mutant power is the ability to charge matter, whether organic or not, with volatile kinetic energy.", as he cannot charge living organic matter. For instance, he can't grab someone's arm and make it explode. He can, however, cut off an arm and use that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.73.70.30 (talk) 19:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

message: What I don't get is what is with his eyes? How come they are like that?
-Why does Nightcrawler have indigo-blue skin? It is because he is a mutant, and that explains Gambit's eyes as well. It is a stylistic choice. :) - Andrew
:His eyes are consentrated kinetic energy which he transfers into the things he throws - which in his case means playing cards. Might not explain the actual reason for them being black with red pupiles. So I think we'll go for Andrew's explanation. ;)

message: I've heard him called 'the Ragin' Cajun.' What's up with that?
- It's off of the comic book covers.  I think Marvel thought it was "catchy" or something along those lines.  One of the comic books I'd be talking about would be "Giant-Sized Gambit" where it proclaims on the cover, "A collection of classic stories featuring the Ragin' Cajun!"  There are some others that use the phrase, such as Gambit #3(1999)  That and he did grow up in the French quarter of New Orleans, which would explain the idea behind the phrase. -Random Gambit Fan (July, 2005)

:::: I can't count on both hands the number of characters who were said to be the Third Summers Brother. In the end, they had to invent a whole new character to fill that mantle, and IMHO "Vulcan" was somewhat of an anticlimax. (But better than some other choices... I mean, Apocalypse?

replies: text: "Gambit" usually refers to the sacrifice of something minimal (in chess, usually a pawn) for something greater. Basically, it relates to his attitude of taking risks for great rewards (ie, his thief background). Cybertooth85 01:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it can refer to the sacrifice of anything, for the chance of greater reward in the future. The term is commonly used in chess, as Cybertooth says, but any pawn or piece (except the king) can be sacrificed in a gambit. One well-known example is the Queen's Gambit, where a queen is offered as a sacrifice, usually for certain (but well-concealed) checkmate within several moves. The term is also commonly used for similar situations in other areas of life. Sorry for commenting 2.5 years later. Applejuicefool (talk) 07:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't believe that Uncanny X-men 266 is Remy's first appearance. I've actualyl just recently been rereading all of uncanny x-men and just finished 267, and I'm pretty sure that he appeared before. How else would he have had a photo of Storm in 267 and recognized her in 266? Can someone verify which was his very first appearance? I'm sure he was in one in the 80s, I think gambling was involved too but I can't quite remember. I'm afraid if I find one I may be mistaken, so help please.
His first appearance was actually x-men annual 14, which predated his 1st in-continuity appearance(UXM#266) by a few months. You see x-men annual 14 took place after the events of 266 and 267, but the annual was released before those issues by a few months. There were no appearances prior to those issues. 1990 was the year Gambit made his 1st appearance. 
If you're thinking of the x-men group photo Gambit was looking at in UXM#267, it belonged to Storm, not Gambit. He had dug it out of her belongings, along with her knife. No where in UXM#266 or 267 did I get the impression Gambit recognized Storm. But even if he had, the now established continuity would allow for it anyway. With Gambit working for Sinister and his involvement in the Morlocke Massacre, it would be feasible for Gambit to have known who the X-Men are.--Killphil 17:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Added "highly agile" in characteristics-power description 

message: Nowhere has it ever been said that Gambit's staff is made from adamantium. In fact many appearances would undermine this theory anyway. For example-in Gambit#4(1st monthly series), Gambit is fighting Blade and blocks a swing from Blade's sword. The sword is imbedded halfway through the staff. Not adamantium there. In Gambit's appearance in Moon Knight #41, Gambit attacks Moon Knight with a charged staff and Moon Knight comments that Gambit's staff is powerful due to the kinetic charge in it, but his own staff(Moon Knight's) is powerful also because it is made from adamantium, indicating that Moon Knight has an adamantium satff, not Gambit. Gambit wrecked one of his other staffs fighting Bond in X-Men Unlimited #7.--Killphil 18:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Adamantium Staff description comes from the X-Men Animated Series. Although recent writers may have added it to canon, thinking it was part of his background. -- Noclevername 02:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The cartoon had even less info on Gambit's staff than the comics did. It was definetly never mentioned that it was Adamantium here. Again, No in-continuity comics reference to this staff being adamntium. If it was, then Adamntium is not the indestructible metel I have been led to believe, as he has wrecked several staffs in the past as refenced in my post above.

message: I seek a permission so to speak to deleate the following statement in the bio:
"Early rumors have suggested Gambit would be played in an upcoming X-Men movie by Denzel Washington, but these rumors are unsubstantiated at this point in time."
This is a bogus statement since there is no upcoming X-Men movie aside from Wolverine and Magneto and Denzel is an African American actor who would not play a Cajun white character.
Well... "An upcoming X-Men movie" could mean Wolverine or Magneto, since those movies are spinoffs. Eh, the matter is moot anyway.

thread_title: Question

message: Just read Ultimate Spider-Man #101, where in the fan letters column someone claims Ultimate Gambit can fly, citing Ultimate X-Men #14 where he allegedly flew onto a rooftop and enabled a young girl to fly. I put the following statement into the article, but then realized that even though whoever replies to the Ultimate Spider-Man letters column confirmed this, that may not make it true, so if someone has Ultimate X-Men #14 can you confirm this?
"Ultimate Gambit apparently had the power to fly as he flew to the top of a roof in Ultimate X-Men #14, as well as imparting flight to others (causing a little girl to fly using an umbrella). When the Ultimate version of Rogue possessed his powers, she apparently used them to fly only in Ultimate Spider-Man #93."
If this is the case, it explains why Ultimate Rogue flew during the Deadpool story arc. Vignettelante 22:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In UXM Gambit places a card underneath a manhole cover, and stands on top, blasting himself up to a rooftop. Although at the end of the issue, he does seemingly make the little girl "fly" briefly by charging her umbrella with kinetic energy. As for the Ultimate Rogue, that was probably a writer's goof (They don't give out No-Prizes any more for explaining those away, more's the pity!).

replies: text: I think there are many fan sites for such information. We should only limit inclusion of information that has been verified as officially true -- verification of rumors doesn't really help since it just verifies that the rumor being reported does in fact exist. Again, we all want for Gabmit to be in X-Men 4, and there are many rumors of him being slated to be in X-Men 4 with several people involved in making X3 saying that they had Gambit in several scenes and would want him to appear in X-Men 4. However, given that X-Men 4 hasn't even been announced yet and given that Wolverine and Magneto movies are comming out, X-Men 4 might be at least 5 years away, if at all. Given this, any speculation really are just rumors and while they are fun to discuss on fan sites, they should really not be added to an encyclopedic entry for the character.

message: Following the marker that we should maybe try to reorganize the fictional biography section, I suggest that maybe we can go along with keeping early life and mutant massacre and than briefly mention that he has joined the x-men for a while and than had his association severed in several occasions, than proceed with the apocalypse section. All the stuff with the x-men and x-treme could be dealt with under another section titled "history with the x-men" or something like that. Surely some of the stuff (like his fight with wolvie in the danger room for instance) are character moments that people could be interested in but i don't think they could be markers of a fictional character biography.

replies: text: I agree that it should be both reaorganized and shortened, but as you suggest, I'd sugggest that if major reorganization takes place, we model them after the Storm article with major section in publication history and then a much shorter bio. With that, I think a "history with the x-men" section would be good (either in the publication history or bio section, but, as you mentioned, it would currently be too long to be one section and would need to be shortened. I'd not suggest making sweeping deleation, but things like that Wolverine fight would likely be deleated and anything else that should really be on the actual story arc pages.--RossF18 10:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Of course since Joe Quesada all but banned characters from smoking, it doesn't show up very much.

Wolverine, Thing, Fury, known cigar chompers, at least with Wolverine they explained that he didn't smoke anymore as a promise, but Gambit always used to have a seemingly-hand-rolled cigarette in his mouth, and probably still would on a regular basis if it weren't for the EIC. ---D--- (talk) 12:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I was looking at Storm (Marvel Comics) and Wolverine (comics) and I was wondering if we should start a bibliography section. I currently have the running list below. I still have to go through X-Men vol. 2. ~Itzjustdrama ? C  02:07, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bibliography? 

message: Since Gambit seems to be an accomplished stick fighter, I added that he knows this martial art as well. It serves to cover the stick fighting aspect of Remy's overall fighting style and was actually mentioned in the latest Gambit entry in a Wolverine handbook from last year.

message: Hiya. Haven't all superhero types got a super-weakness? Super-man - Kryptonite, Spider-man - Family etc. (I'm not an expert). The words "Vulnerability" and "Weakness" don't feature in the article at all. There is one count of "Vulnerable" but that's referring to his temperament. If someone knows of something that could be added that would be good. I was just passing by and thought I'd suggest it. Good luck all. Happy editing!  fgtc 11:26, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any weaknesses? 

message: Potential Energy is measured with respect to some other force field, such as gravity or magnetism, and would never be sufficient to produce the effects Gambit actually does in the comics, animated series, and the movie. The amount of potential energy in a playing card is actually no more than the kinetic energy it would have if it fell from the height it was held in a vaccuum, which is nowhere near as much as a grenade. In fact, it would barely make a spark if converted to thermal energy, for example.
If, however, Gambit were converting all of the energy contained in the chemical bonds of the target object to pure Kinetic Energy, then this would certainly produce an explosive force similar to a grenade per playing card.
On the other hand, converting nuclear energy or mass-energy to kinetic energy would be too powerful, because a mere playing card's worth of mass energy would equal a 50 kiloton nuclear bomb, or just the nuclear energy of a playing card would equal 500 tons of TNT.
So I gather than what the writers have always meant when they say "Potential Energy" actually should have been specified "Chemical Potential Energy". This is actually much more consistent with the feats you see Gambit perform in the comics and cartoons.
