HELL'S YEAH! I like GAMBIT.
Recently, Swinebread, who holds some what anti-Gambit beliefs, asked me why I enjoyed the character?
Also tomorrow X-men Legacy is going to feature him prominently so here's a Gambit post.

I began my comics life with the 1990's x-men cartoon. Gambit was featured prominently on the show. He was attracted to Rogue, so was I.

The fact that he's a smoker is one of the reasons I like him. Not many superheroes smoke cigarettes, he's almost a villain and a bit of a cowboy. He has a unique sense of honor. H e has a wierd costume that I'm not sure serves a purpose but it does look pretty cool.

He's like the Han Solo or Sawyer of the X-men team. He's not a boy scout he's a bad boy. He's maybe the second most bad-ass character on the X-team after Wolverine.

He's a thief and he has skills beyond his mutation. He has so much destructive power but doesn't use it. He uses playing cards!

He is in total control of his ability. You never hear about gambit accidentally blowing some one up. Gambit is pure Bad ass incarnate.

How do you feel about Gambit?
