Marvel Comics: Gambit Explained | Comics Explained

[@SticKyfinGAz95]

Man I really love Gambit. He's so underated and unused. He's honestly one of the best "rogue-ish" characters, needs more attention!!!

[@someonebr7862]

This! I can't wait for Excalibur.

[@Tzoruk]

I do agree, we have few comics, i hope he'll come back when the mutants will be added to the MCU, sadly this is what makes characters back in the game...

I'm a die hard Wolverine fan all day but man Gambit hands down had some of the best one liners in the 90s cartoon.

[@RogueWolfArtist]

Just wait until you get to April 10th of 2024.

[@anastan5445]

I adore Gambit because of his redemption story. Being raised by thieves, having lived a rough life, and still choosing to change, to become a better person - all without losing his personality. I adore that about him - he is roguish, he is smooth (a skill he needed to have, I feel, as a thief), he is street smart, and he is a good person at heart. It might sound corny but to teenager me, who made some mistakes and sorta hated herself for it... It was so motivational to read about a character who turned his life around like that. I really do like him. And his card schtick is so cool too!

[@trickshot_katebishop7612]

Same! 🥹

[@RoyLevan]

I feel the same way. What Gambit represents to me more than anything else is the desire to do better. To be better.

When rob finishes the video asking "what is gambit doing?", a can just imagine Rogue comming in with a big preggnant belly saing "that's what he did!!" XDD

[@Renserin]

Add my voice to the crowd who first met Gambit in the 80's cartoon; I loved his accent and the fact that he used ordinary playing cards as a weapon. It's only now though, that I realize he was the perfect counterpart for Wolverine. Remy was always calm and figuring out the angles, while Wolverine was more impulsive and hot headed. It's a shame the comics never really recognized Gambit's potential the way the orginal cartoon did.

[@gunnarlauhofer2575]

Gambit is my favorite comic book character of all time! I can only repeat what has already been said, he deserves more overall attention by Marvel, creative writers, good artists and his spot in the MCU. I am totally convinced that he can easily become as popular as Wolverine when treated the right way.

[@ravenandstar]

Gambit was easily my favorite in the 90's, I didn't like how Evolution (that show got decent after they got rid of Spyke) and Wolverine and the X-Men treated him a minor character. It's just too bad they can't get his character right.

[@IllMatic97]

Gambit isn't the only underdeveloped character on the xmen cheif. He's just one of them.

[@jeremybrimmer1990]

"I play a lot of solitaire." Gambit

That's awesome! That's the voice for gambit I've always heard since I first watched the 90's cartoon, mon ami.

[@knodeway1826]

Imagine playing spades with gambit and he accuses you of cheating, tell me that's not the end of you

[@tremackin]

Nah, he'd probably respect you and flash his eyes brighter saying something like " Ah ah ah, now why don't we play fair, Hmph? Even ole Gambit can appreciate a good cheat homme. But see the trick mon ami..." Reaches into guys jacket or sleeve and charges the card a little "...is not ta get caught!"

[@edubz1906]

Really impossible NOT to cheat in spades. If you really know how to play and have a partner your used to you will know 75% of his cards without any verbal com or hand signals. The same is also true with those who playing against if playing with them long enough.

I've been up all night, and was hoping to find a long history of gambit. You do really good videos of tie-in's to give a full story of the character. But im guessing he hasn't really had too much love in the comics to give us a full story :(

[@karlsingh9076]

There should be a companion video to this one: Marvel Comics Rogue explained. Would be interested in seeing this

[@IsaiahINRI]

To me Gambit and Cyclops are great examples of how the X-Men aren't actually a family like they say they are. For Gambit they nearly killed the man because he unknowingly took part in a massacre he tried to stop BEFORE he joined them. And Cyclops they loathed his existence because he killed prof x while being possessed by a cosmic entity that had possessed Jean like 10 times to which they gave a pass to.

Thank you so much for doing Gambit videos. I liked Gambit before the animated series and loved him even more after it came out. It's such a shame that Marvel has no clue how to utilize Gambit in comics and he's only been in 1 movie (which flopped, not even Hugh Jackman or Ryan Reynolds could save that movie). If Gambit had a good writer who stuck with him, he could easily be a top 3 most popular X-Man.

I remember something like that too. That Gambit was made by Sinister using DNA taken from Jean Grey and Scott Summers to make the perfect mutant body. A body that Mr. Sinister would use for himself.

The only thing I like about Gambit is his powers. His relationship with Rogue doesn't make any sense because they have nothing in common and hate each other's guts and him being a Thief makes it even worse to find any interest in his character.

I've spent most my life feeling a kinship to the character, and have done anything and everything I can to promote him cause he doesn't get the respect he deserves, I've personally talked to Claremont about him and the creation, meant as a clone for sinister to use should his body give out on him, then meant to infiltrate the xmen and destroy them one by one from with in, I've also brought up the fact that hes better then batman having had a similar childhood only Remy had to SURVIVE on the streets, among professional assassins and thieves, and being a THEIF (like catwoman) they tend to always stay one step ahead on any opponent, not to mention someone like penguin gets hits off on the bat imagine what a 52card pick up would do, and he taged gladiator with that, just saying gambit is much much cooler then even this awesome video showed
