Are you willing to take the risk of touching her?

So Rogue’s deranged mother sends her to receive an ideological grooming with sexual undertones at M Diddy’s mansion, who is old nough to be her grandfather or something, but turns out he can touch her and the relationship evolves to an ideological grooming with actual sex. Okay, I don’t have a problem with age gaps between adults, nor do I have the habit of calling out “problematic” relationships. But all that for such an insipid couple? They’re just there, I guess. They’re a couple that makes sense because Magneto can touch her, but I guess the same would apply to most male members of the cast if they could touch her
and that’s probably something that means a lot to someone like her. On top of that, there’s probably a huge sense of inadequacy on her part for not being able to offer physical contact to Gambit, a character who is seen as someone who cares a lot about sex. 

In my opinion, Rogue becomes unsympathetic when the situations escalates and everyone becomes aware of the affair, to the point that people start teasing Gambit. And Magneto himself starts boasting and teasing Gambit in front of Rogue, but she does little to fix the situation. Then she momentarily accepts Magneto’s proposal in Genosha and finally ends things up with Gambit, only to publicly appear with Magneto as a power couple a few minutes after the breakup and shove in the face of her former lover the intimacy that they could never have. Then a few seconds later she realizes that that is not actually what she wants and that she loves Gambit more, except now he is fucking dead. 

I like some X-Drama and soap opera as much as the next guy, but it’s incredible how these love triangles are so effective at painting the characters in the worst possible light and are rarely beneficial to them. 

Rogue becomes unsympathetic due to her indecision and how she deals with things.

Gambit becomes the butt of jokes.

Magneto acts like a college jock boasting in front of his lover’s ex and tries to manipulate Rogue into a serious relationship with him by offering her a leading position in Genosha as his queen.

Morph and Wolverine (who is in a much more humiliating position than Gambit) make fun of Gambit, their own friend, because of Rogue and Magneto’s relationship.

Nightcrawler making light of the situation and trying to talk Gambit into forgiving Rogue.

Wolverine being his usual self and fawning over Jean Gray.

Jean being insensitive and giving monologues about her love for Scott in front of a man who has romantic feelings for her. 

Jean kissing Wolverine, then being a hypocrite by being mad at Scott because he’s been communicating with Madelyne Pryor (who is literally her) to cope with the loss of their son, after going through an entire pregnancy together and having no idea of the whole clone thing.

New Gambit posters for the MCU.

A while ago I started wondering about something: "How much has Rogue's lingering psyches affected her judgement?" A small idea that drove me to write fan fiction to explore it a couple years ago exploring the idea through Gambit's point of view... Then I commissioned a friend to illustrate the first few paragraphs.

https://archiveofourown.org/series/3338272

But where did I get the idea from? I think it was inspired by Kelly Thompson's character exploration during her Rogue & Gambit run. The splash page where we saw the collage of their sorted past and realized something... Before joining the X-Men, Rogue was a legit villain. What changed? Not her making a choice. At least not exclusively. What she did was absorb several heroes - one permanently.

I found it interesting that she became a hero while carrying around one of the planet's most notable ones at the time. I can argue that even after Danvers was exercised, her influence remained. As we discovered in Xtreme X-Men - no one actually leaves her, they're just suppressed. Moving forward, the moment she was completely wiped clean by Hope - what did she do? She ran off. Left Gambit, not once, but twice.

After having legitimate control of her powers, she proceeded to foster relationships with Magneto (someone that literally tried to kill Gambit as a distraction not too long before [comic time]), Human Torch, and Deadpool. I had to ask: does she even like Gambit? It's weird question, but due to a string of questionable writing choices, it's hard to overlook.

So, to explain it away I drew a line and connected it to a similar situation. Both huge departures occur right after she had a change to her psyche. Going from villain to hero after perma absorbing the planet's biggest female hero at the time, and then being with everyone in the world except Gambit, after being wiped.

In the fanfiction, during a conversation with Storm on the subject, Gambit wonders if Rogue's affection for him partially or wholly came from her the influences of Danvers and others... Of course she tries to talk him off of the cliff, but I had a blast writing it.

What do you think? Would Gambit have reason worry about something like this? Do find the subject at all interesting? Also, let me know what you think about my friend's Zane's artwork. 👍🏾

My MCU Gambit with AS/97 X-Men

Got Marvel Legends Retro Gambit for my birthday (and some other stuff as shown in photos). Been looking for him for years, so happy my brother finally got this for me

I need to vent… incoming rant.

Been an X-Men fan since the debut of XTAS in 93’. The first character I gravitated to was Gambit. He quickly became not just my favorite X-Man but my favorite comic book character. Apparently, I wasn't the only one. As time passed it's becoming evident that despite being left out of the initial X-Men movie runs he's a top 10 X-Men character amongst fans (that know of him, mostly thanks to XTAS). Over the years he's been ignored and belittled by creators, yet he remains amongst the most loved characters.

His last main ongoing was in 2012. Despite some saying it wasn't “liked” or “popular” it went for 17 issues. For an era where most titles get rebooted at 10 or 12 - 17 with little to zero marketing. Marvel didn't push the book much and from what James Asmus, the writer, said - he was denied access to 90% of the guest stars he wanted to use which is how he ended up using Tombstone and why none of the cameoed Avengers were allowed to speak - it's weird.


Despite the road blocks the book was excellent and left Gambit in the most relevant spot he'd ever been. The literal monarch of both the Thieves and Assassins Guilds. You'd think even without his solo, Gambit would be in an interesting spot. But no. Most writers either ignored it or perhaps weren't even aware he was Marvel Comics King of Thieves. For the next SEVERAL YEARS he was barely utilized, often depicted as a petty thief. Basically a klepto.


As a diehard fan I had listen to creators say things like “I don't see the value in a character like [Gambit]”. That was Rick Remender, btw. The guy that salivated over using Fantomex - aka diet Gambit. I'll describe Fantomex: French speaking, trenchcoat wearing, super agile, international thief, X-Man with a subconscious psionic ability most people don't know about. Are you kidding me?


When creators denigrate the character (it's actually a running inside joke in Marvel from what I understand) but then push characters like Fantomex as hard as they did during the Uncanny X-Force run and beyond - it's aggravating. And it didn't stop there. Who remembers Ulysses? The focus of Civil War II. In this instance they legit gave Gambit's facial features (eyes, hair, skin tone) to this character we haven't seen since the end of the story. 


Am I exaggerating? No. Because when Gambit showed up in the X-Men tie-in (where he also got into a fight with Fantomex btw), these mofos took away his eyes. He had white on black instead of red on black, so the two characters wouldn't be confused for each other. They knew exactly what was going on. Going a little further back, this wasn't the first time in the era they sliced off some of his swag and implanted it on another character.


Following the events of Secret Wars an image led many to assume that Marvel would be heading for a DC-like reset. That image was Daredevil alongside his new “apprentice”. Just about everyone assumed it was a de-aged Gambit getting ready to switch franchises. Turned out not to be Gambit. Just a completely different character in a bodysuit with purple highlights, a headstock and rocking a bo staff…


Frustrating still is something the new X-Boss said when asked about a possible Gambit solo. He intimated that people don't like “guild stuff”... That's funny because apparently “guild stuff” works just fine in the Spiderman Office. The Scarlet Spider and Black Cat have both been heavily dipping into Gambit's lore and rogues gallery with Mary a cameo, mention, or guest appearance from the character who at the time was King of both Thieves and Assassins Guilds. We did eventually get a X-Man guest star in one of these Guild-centric stories. Yep. Wolverine. Make it make sense 😭.


And it's not like Gambit doesn't have history with Spider-Man and Blackcat. He does. It was back in the days when Gambit was put in front of a “bigger” he wasn't going to be immediately jobbed to make his opponent look good. That is something else that happens a lot, but I'm ranting about his aspects being trying to find my card the last 10 seconds behind behind 2 minutes of ads. Should I leave it alone? I'll take care of that. You dropped it once already stolen and donated to other characters - not his vast catalog of misrepresentation.

That's another issue entirely.
