GAMBIT
Why, Monsieur LeBeau! What a dark and treacherous past you have!
Right.
The thing about Gambit is that the consequences of whatever terrible thing he’s done roll right off him like water off a sexy Cajun duck. In a few months, he’s back with the X-Men.
“You lead a gang of murderous thugs for Mister Sinister? I guess that’s okay. Come on home. It’s burrito night. “
“You sold your soul to become Apocalypse’s Horseman of Death because your girlfriend’s mom was being mean? Well, I guess that’s understandable. Come on home. You can be on my softball team. “
It all boils down to one factor: Cool. Gambit is cool. Cool people can just get away with ALOT more than uncool people.
So, the next time he gets shunned by the X-Men for having tried a dolphin burger or having started an intergalactic war or whatever new mysterious corner of his past is illuminated to keep him “dangerous,” Gambit fans needn’t worry about him being gone for long. One look into those creepy black-and-red eyes and all will be forgiven.
