Actually normal Gambit can't charge organic matter. Aka anything that is alive. He had Mr. Sinister take a piece of brain tissue to weaken his abilities so he could control them better.

[@bobbydigital8243]

Gambit was hands down one of my favorite X-men when I was growing up, this was before his omega level promotion. I remember after the first episode of the X-men the animated series, Wolverine instantly became everyone's favorite character from the start, after a 5 year run it would be Gambit who'd become the most favorite at the end. His character was one of the best in the show, he looked and acted cool, a super hero by day but at night he's a gambling hustling bad boy. Without his powers he's like a ghetto James Bond, But with his powers including his set's of skills and abilities he's simply just Gambit. The writers kept his origins a mystery, this was a writers tactic, they stretched his story throughout the season, and his story was used to add a bit more weight to an episode that they felt was light. Those were some clever story telling and so effective that it kept us wanting even more info every time we the audience got to learn something very small about him. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that Gambit was so cool he starts hitting on Rogue (she currently posses Captain Marvels powers) right from the moment he meets her and has her off her feet by the third season, the man is a legend. having said that I still found this sketch to be so funny that I loved it. Don't let your knowledge stop you from being to laugh about it, sometimes it's best to know when it's okay to turn off the thinking cap.

gambit is easily in my top two favorite x-men since childhood. the mastery of kinetic energy always fascinated me. but, more importantly, what i've always liked most about gambit is how he never gave a shit about anything. and you always wondered just how easily he could turn into an bad mutant, or why he never became one in the first place. power, nuance, subtly, mystery, and always a little bit edge of rebellion simmering under the surface. shame he isn't featured more in the modern films.

[@billfred9411]

He is also far from weak. He has always been an omega level mutant but certain things happen during his life that made him way more powerful.

This is the best one, lol. "Uno is easy. Any kind of sport". "Oh, you train underneath a waterfall with the staff?"

Love these, came up in my feed and loving the rewatch!

So, making shit explode doesn't count?

[@cmolodiets]

yes but if you don't have shit

[@marcuscrawford2661]

There is always shit. Rocks, shoes, pencils, hats, sticks, paper, pens. He can make anything explode.

Gambit can cause a chain reaction between everyone atom in existence and cause the entire universe to explode.

[@adiahaalexander9359]

"I'm ssorry you're still messing with me aren't you?" " indubitably" HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!

[@seafarinhare]

I'm surprised he didnt just start picking up random objects on Xavier's desk as part of his "there's always stuff to throw" point.

[@jasonlovallo1785]

Gambit was always my favorite. He is beyond powerful. Super underrated.

[@travislipscomb3046]

Every so often I rediscover these and I remember he is one of my favorite people on KZbin haha

[@christophermoreno8974]

I love you Pete, this always makes me smile.

[@OisinHP]

Gambit doesn't just throw stuff. When he throws it, it explodes.

Exodia Mukherjee - he was also nightcrawler

[@lorenzovonmatterhorn4756]

Yep it is

[@TheUnpred1cTable]

he shouldve just talked about middle out

[@InfernosReaper]

"I can melt you with my mind" And he can literally turn that chair into a bomb. He throws stuff because literally makes those objects go boom... They should've made fun of how no one can understand what Gambit is saying most of the time

[@InfernosReaper]

@Yoooshi Gambit is *supposed* to have a Cajun accent, so a parody of him really should cover that.

[@InfernosReaper]

​@Wolong Gong His powers aren't shit and he wasn't that bad of character, though, so the joke fails.

[@InfernosReaper]

@Wolong Gong You clearly don't appreciate the science behind what the ability actually does to make the boom and how powerful those booms can be.

[@InfernosReaper]

@Wolong Gong Ah, okay, you're just a contrarian jackass who's resorting to a straw argument now. Great... Either that or your just a dumbass who doesn't really think about what this shit *actually does*. Unmaking the universe is a fucking worthless ability, btw. What useful application does such a power really have?

Funny stuff! But in Gambit's defense, I've seen him throw handfuls of ground and a even a boysenberry pie... and that stuff exploded when it hit! Gambit's one of the most kickass X-men!

[@DimitriDamyan]

he killed a guy with chewing gum once, that was pretty rad

[@SchmokinJoe]

Yeah I like that Gambit is creative with his power. One time he charged a guy's jacket then threw the guy out a window.

[@fatinachen1888]

@@DimitriDamyan umm. He did not. That person got better and became gambits buddy when new sun hired supervillains to attack him.
