What exactly is the appeal of this character /co/? Does he serve any purpose now that we are no longer in the 90s?
throwing playing cards is pretty rad brah
His accent?
Has he ever gone up against Bullseye?
>>83459247
Relic of a bygone era, ya bastich.
bad boy heart throbe
thief with a code of honor
rogue's on again, off again boyfriend.
lancer to stickupass leaders
cute adventures with VampJubilee
he's the only x-man who could cook without him they'd starve
>>83459247
God I hate his headpiece
What fucking purpose does it serve and why are his ears hanging out
His power is still really cool to me. It looks great, too. That's really what he's about; looking cool.
>>83459247
He had a different accent from all the other accents.
>>83459394
this
dude was and is still pretty cool as fuck
Slightly off topic, but is X-Men 92 worth reading? I started reading the first one, but it wasn't really catching my attention right away.
>>83459394
What's the shameless 2016 version of cool?
>>83459471
nothing of xmen is worth reading, just watch the 90s cartoon and yer all set
>>83459247
Still better than that trash Fantomex
bang, you dead
>>83459540
Go hail hydra some more, Cap.
>>83459540
Really? I watched the 90s cartoon when I was younger, so I was hoping this series would be a good extension of that.
>>83459394
But he looks fucking stupid.
>>83459247
Coolest fucker on the team by miles.
>>83459571
Forgot image.
He fucked up Wolverine's shit, that makes him a keeper to me.
>>83459597
Yeah, but save for specific trend revivals, everything that looked cool in the 90s looks lame as shit now.
get you a man who can do both edgy 90s edition
>>83459247
He's the gayest X-man
>>83459594
There are some great X-men stories out there. >>83459540 is just shitposting
>>83459641
God, he's cool.
>>83459652
He was with 90s Rogue, dude is already coolest fucker around
>>83459247
>What purpose does her serve?
AHH CAHNT TUCH YU REHMMY
Repeat ad infinitum whenever Rogue isn't fucking Colossus or Magneto.
>>83459676
How about X-Men 92 specifically? I haven't actually read any X-Men at all, so is there a better place to start? I'm open to any suggestions, as I'm caught up on all my ongoing stuff at the moment.
>>83459716
Is a nice rehashing of Claremont and other writers stuff. But I personally like the second coming, Utopia, and X-men academy. But I liked X-men as a revolving door of supers, so haven't read much of it. I will day this is better than first class. That's shit
>>83459641
What do you call a guy who loses to make the other guy look good, again?
>>83459847
Alright, cool. Second Coming sounds pretty interesting, I might just end up checking that out.
>>83459247
We desperately need more Cajun representation in comics
>>83459900
Wolverine dude that's easy
>>83459393
The 90s were all about headsocks.
>>83459716
Some people don't like it because it changed the status quo, but New X-Men by Morrison is pretty good. Astonishing X-Men is good, so is X-Statix. David's X-Factor was pretty boss, as was The Messiah Trilogy (Messiah Complex, Messiah War and Second Coming).
I'd also recommend Wolverine by Claremont and Miller, plus Wolverine MAX.
>>83459472
A vagina.
Why does the Cajun and Southern girl end up together?
>What exactly is the appeal
>Exotic Accent
>Black/red eyes
>Trench Coat
>Cool gloves
>Makes things explode
>Speaks in 3rd person
>Gets the girls wet
>Man enough to wear pink
>Throws cards better than you throw rocks
>A t'ief
This guy was essentially what I thought I could be as a child, because he wasn't incredibly powerful and/or muscular, but he still found a way to be bad-ass.
>Does he serve any purpose now
There's basically no reason to inject him into a story except to have him sleep with someone he shouldn't have slept with, and cause trouble consequently.
>>83460023
No people hate Morrison because his ideas were Giant Turds of bad. Psychic bacteria makes racism, No more Costumes, and the gay frog Fantz.
Beak but was good dough
>>83460143
>No more Costumes, and the gay frog Fantz.
Those were good though.
>>83459247
>Does he serve any purpose now that we are no longer in the 90s?
Is there any part of the X-Men that has any value now that it's post-99? No. The whole damn franchise is dated garbage but people keep on churning out this garbage. This is why we gotta get armed. We gotta stand up to this 90's-fascism. Of course, people are all up there ass about gays and stuff, so no chance there!
I'm tired of being impotent. I wanna kick down some doors and shake some cages. The time for change has come!
YOU
ARE
ALL
WHORES
>>83459471
It's just dumb fun. Don't expect any spectacular storytelling or particularly amazing works of art. It's just tugging at nostalgia strings and being completely ridiculous while doing so.
Was Remy a man of supreme tastes?
>>83460023
>>83460264
Cool, thanks for the advice.
>>83460188
>Fantz good
Kek he's 00s gambit but worse
>no costumes
There is a comfy middle ground were the costumes aren't super colorful and flashy, but let people know these are the good guys. Not biker trash out terrorists.
>>83460252
You are salt
>>83459305
he did, cant remember where
>>83460288
No problema mi amigo. Also, Remender's Uncanny X-Force is pretty dope.
>>83459283
>>83460366
>Kek he's 00s gambit but worse
How so? In New X-Men, he's just a man of mystery who's only in it for one arc.
>Not biker trash out terrorists
Please, the yellow/black uniforms were stylish as hell.
>>83459247
he was one of the first despictions of "cool characters"
mysterious, good looking, trickster, and somewhat relatable
just like the way loki is portrayed by the normies today
>>83459247
Beefcake and nostalgia
>>83459269
I love that in his case they're actually absurdly practical too.
Their light, small projectiles you can throw accurately and precisely. They're cheap and plentiful as hell.
fapbait
>>83460475
He butt fucked two omega level telepaths in his first outing cause my shielding!!1. His only power is a gog damn space ship. I don't even know how to say how bad/dumb that is.
>uniforms
Nah there design was crap just like the movies. Even the actors hated those things. Though the art made it worse.
>>83459545
Isn't Fantomex supposed to be a parody character of all those trench coat wearing 90s superheroes like Gambit? Why did Marvel take him seriously after Morrison left?
>>83459379
hehehe
>>83459247
I'd be 100 percent okay with Mahvel turning gambit blackEspecially into a carribean
>>83461187
Wolverine, Xavier, and magneto first
>>83461187
i'd read that
>>83459641
Cheap way of winning but he won. Didn't Wolverine kick his but like 1 or 2 issues later?
>>83459545
Fantomex is great, eat shit.
>>83459641
Don't forget that time Gambit and Wolverine stole the Batmobile.
I can't tell if this is it from the thumbnail, but I don't feel like actually checking.
>>83460143
>being this pleb
Embarrassing
>>83459713
Rogue has sexy accent
>>83459247
He also went back in time to 1870's Japan and became a psychotic killer
>>83461187
>Black Cajun
Do those exist?
Also, why Caribbean?
I thought Remy's ethnicity was fairly important to the character's backstory
>>83459247
He makes everything explode, and unlike Jubilee his explosions actually do something.
>>83460188
>>83461311
>>83461264
>Samefags are butthurt someone doesn't like their Gary stue
Cry more keks
>>83461234
It was 11 issues later. Wolverine took out Gambit (who was under the influence of the Shadow King), see pic.
>>83461698
>Creole
but Creole and Cajun aren't the same thing
>>83461698
>get shrekkt
>>83461788
>implying sniktbub gives a shit
Any of his solo stuff any good?
>>83462019
His fans loved his ongoings. Just they didn't have the numbers to keep it going
>>83462069
Any adventures with Rogue?
>>83462110
Not that I remember. They stayed away from that ship can't have the star blue balled you know
>>83459847
Bengus' MvC2 art is so good
>>83462294
Is it?
>>83462323
Yeah, it is
>>83459472
i wanna know this too
>>83459676
Nope. You are just a shit eater
>>83461402
>I thought Remy's ethnicity was fairly important to the character's backstory
Remy isn't ethnically Cajun. He's a stolen hospital baby. Possibly Christopher Summers' son.
>>83463786
Possibly Sinister's clone.
>>83460252
>I'm tired of being impotent.
I don't see what that has to do with your war on the 90's.
Did the 90's culture steal all of your boners?
i wouldnt be surprised if gambit is bisexual in the new sjw run marvel
>>83464966
I could see that. In that Constintine, it-doesn't-fucking-matter kind of way. Or like one of those guys that may-or-may-not be; is he just fucking with the squares? Is he actually hard for that dude? But then, that role's kinda taken by Dakken, isn't it?
>>83460273
Yes, Rogue best girl.
>>83459247
>Marvel refuses to let best couple get together again
>>83462110
He pals around with Courier who's pretty hot once Mr. Sinister locks him in his female form.
>>83465139
yeah dakken has that role
but gambit seems so light in the pants that if he dumped rogue for iceman i wouldnt be surprised
So who should gambit be paired with other than rogue?
I'm thinking storm, he'd probably be down with the brown since New Orleans is full of creole chicks.
>>83465475
It would probably be a little weird since when they first met she was a little girl.
I say X-23, because it would be very weird since he's a father figure to her.
>>83461354
I just started re watching Rurouni Kenshin, so this is hilarious to me
>>83465475
Rogue, or random hookups.
Mystique would be ok too.
>>83465475
psylocke
jessica jones
Gambit will get a resurgence in popularity once his movie drops next year.
>>83461354
Didn't the writer of this mango base a lot his characters from X-Men?
>>83466429
Yes he did. Many of Enishi's men are based on Marvel characters like Venom and Apocalypse. Aoshi Shinimori had Gambit's coat. Aoshi one hunchmen, Hyotoko resemble the Hulk. And one of the goon Saito kills look like Omega Red.
Not Marvel but Seijuro's Hiko's cape is like Spawn's

Why doesn't he just shoot exploding bullets?
>>83465262
>Sinister allowed Remy to bang his bro without having to invoke no homo
Is Sinister the best wingman?
>>83461308
Okay, that is just ten levels of awesome.
Which issue?
>>83467284
Because he has to touch bullets? He would either have to throw bullets ot shoot through his arm
I should buy these cards again.

I would rather have them include and develop. Nightcrawler, Angel and Colossus than him in the incoming future endeavours
Or make sunfire look like Hanzo from overwatch
>>83459472
Epic?
>>83459247
Still sexy, but under-used. Women want a character who TRIES to be atractive to them, it's just that simple. He's a man-slut, just as men like female sluts.
Also his fatherly demeanor towards X-23, and him calling Wolvie out on his bullshit back when Wolvie was still relevant.
>>83469642
That cover makes me think Tatum is gonna be a good gambit
>>83468859
Yes. Absolutely.
The guy has pedo-sleaze written all over him. (so of course much of /co/ identifies with him)
>>83463786
>>83464431
Wait what
>>83470388
we all remember being little girls swooning for handsome older men
A genderswapped gambit would be hot af js
>>83468644
Marvel vs. DC # 2
>>83461402
Well he is supposed to be the White Devil in a Thief Guild's prophecy so yes
>>83470423
(guaranteed skank)
>>83460764
>Their light, small projectiles you can throw accurately and precisely.
What about throwing darts?
Okay, not as cheap and plentiful
How about gravel?
>>83470423
I wanna see a female Gambit's pink
>>83470627
Pocket sand?
>>83470664
okay now I want him back just for this
>>83470627
He was OP compared to the other mutants anyway, and he knew it. He had luck, agility, and persuasion passive powers, on top of the explosions.
So he went for style over substance, it's easier NOT to kill and maim your opposition that way.
It's the same reason why he uses a staff and not a sword, like some other Xs.
>>83470770
Who's the strongest mutant anyway? The difference between the powers some mutants get is so huge. You could end up with some ungodly power like storms or be a useless shmuck who can shoot spikes out of his hands.
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/83TUeoP.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>83470920
>Who's the strongest mutant anyway?
Reality-warping guys like Franklin Richards, Jaime Braddock, Legion, Magician from Ultimate X-Men
Jaime Braddock wins over them all with the power of camp
>>83470741
>throws sand in someone's face
>makes every grain explode
>>83470920
Nate Summers. In other words, potential power level of Cable, if not for having to control the techno virus.
>>83470920
if I had a choice over a mutation I'd probably want Copycat's
>>83461402
Killer Croc, mate.
>>83470986
>sparklers coming out from his hands

>>83470920
Franklin 'Galactus' Richards
>>83470388
>Pedo-Slease
>Gambit
If this was Mad Hatter, I'd understand.
>>83467284
He did in Age of X, it was a musket or something so he'd have to touch the bullet every time he reloaded, it was pretty cool.
>>83459247
He can do a cheap infinite in mvc but mostly his power is incredibly powerful but decides to be classy by throwing cards intead
>>83461788
>tfw Can't hear someone speaking creole without getting mad
>>83465475
Everyone.
>he's cool because this one thing he did one time in a one off issue
Can you stop that? Anyone could write him doing shit it doesn't mean anything.
>>83469642
The artists actually drew him naked with an uncircumcised cock on his tumblr
So who are Rogue and Remy dating these days?
>>83470627
Frankly, the only time Gambit is all that interesting to me is when he has to get creative with his powers. Like that time he exploded Wolverine's face in Ultimate X-Men.
>>83463786
>Christopher Summers' son.
Why does everything mutant have to relate to the Summers?
I always loved Gambit because he was one of the few heros from the Deep South that wasn't portrayed as a biggoted, intellectually void caracture. Same goes for Jack Boniface/Shadowman
>>83459472
white guilt
>>83460989
Because the parody was too subtle and unfunny.
>>83471597
Gambit is a anti-semite!
>>83459472
Maybe "tacticool" black ops soldiers?
>>83461402
>There are black people in Louisiana?!?!?!
>>83461402
Dude, more than half of the population of Louisianna is black, where the hell do you think Blues music and Popeye's Chicken came from?
>>83461402
>>Black Cajun
>Do those exist?
I believe they are called Creoles.
God I miss the headpiece. He isn't half as iconic without it.
>>83465475
Domino.
>>83471597
>>83465475
Why hook up with anyone other than Rogue?
>>83470445
Is this what led up to Amalgam?
>>83470741
I want a drawfag to give us a Dale throwning sand, but dressed as Gambit.
>>83459247
He used to be THE sex appeal X-man.
>>83471959
Do the Guthries count?
>>83461698
Shit, fights back then looked so damn dynamic.
>>83460132
>>Man enough to wear pink
>>83467387
>>83477494
Is it gay if it's a guy stuck in a girls body?
>>83459247
Cool look (I actually never minded the headsock thing), visually cool powers, "sexy", fun, easygoing persona, girls love his relationship with Rogue, he's got the "bad boy with a heart of gold" shtick.
It's actually a shame that Gambit seems to be more or less out of comics and has kind of fallen out of favor in the last decade or so in terms of being a mainstay on one of the main X-Men books instead of the ones out on the periphery.
>>83472143
No, that's 2000s or early 2010s. Second half of the 2010s is about practicool i.e. costumes that are designed to be cosplayed at conventions.
>>83459676
The X-Men have been shit since Schism.
>>83466429
Yeah, he's a huge X-Men fan as well as SNK fan which lead to a funny thing where SNK made Last Blade due to the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin and then when making Samurai Shodown V got him to design the main character fo the game.
>>83463786
I really wish they had gone that direction with the third Summers Brother instead of that faggot Vulcan. Deadly Genesis is one of the shittiest X-Men stories ever and nothing good spawned from it.
>>83465475
Black Cat
>>83476053
Sure. Except for Jay.
Fuck Jay Guthrie. The only character I was happy to see die in any of those big post-Decimation purges.
