Could someone explain to me the story of Gambit from X-men?

Answer 1

Gambit aka Remy LaBeau. Orphaned, living in the streets of New Orleans, was five years old when he tried to steal a man's wallet, but was caught. The man was the head of the Thieves Guild. Impressed with the boy, he adopted Remy and trained him to be a thief. It was when he was growing up his mutant powers of harvesting and transferring kenetic energy manifested.

Later on, a marriage was arranged between Remy and BellaDonna *the daughter of the Assasin's Guild leader* in an attempt to unite the two families.....didn't work out. At some point, Remy moved to Paris, met and fell in love with a girl named Genevive. Sadly, Henri *Remy's brother* and Genevive were kidnapped by Sabertooth-who dropped both of them from a very high building. Remy only had time to save one of them and saved his brother, while Genevive perished. Hating himself for what happened, Gambit went back to his life of crime.

Years later, in Cairo, Egypt, he rescued the X-Man *or should I say Woman :)* Storm *who was under a spell by the Shadow King*. The spell turned her into a child, a child he used for his own thievery. More stuff happened *lol* and the Shadow King was defeated, freeing Storm and returning her to normal. Storm brought Gambit back to the mansion and to Professor X..where he finally became an X-Man.

What else, it's common knowledge he had a serious thing going for Rogue, but that didnt turn out so good. He has also been linked with *bleck!* Marrow.

Also, it turns out it was Gambit who betrayed the Morlocks *by telling Mr Sinister of their location, which led to the slaughter of the Morlocks. Magneto forced Rogue to touch Gambit, thereby absorbing his memories during The Trial of Gambit storyline. Horrified, Rogue left Remy for pretty much good.

At last look, Gambit was being controlled by Apocolypse and is his current Angel of Death

Answer 2

A mutant, Gambit possesses the ability to charge objects, usually his trademark playing cards, with kinetic energy, causing them to explode. He is also skilled in breaking and entering, the use of a Bo staff and hand-to-hand combat, particularly the French kickboxing martial art Savate.

A mysterious and charismatic former professional thief, few X-Men trusted Gambit when he first joined the group, a source of stress between him and his longtime love interest Rogue. This was exacerbated when his connections to villain Mister Sinister were revealed, although some accept that Gambit honestly seeks redemption.

The X-Men's self described ladies man, Gambit has shown a more vulnerable side of himself over the years, especially when it come to Rogue, his love interest. Gambit remains fiercely proud of his Louisiana heritage, and speaks in a very thick New Orleans , Cajun accent. It remains worth saying that, despite his taste for cigarettes, alcohol, and hedonistic pleasures, that he remains athletically thin. For a while, he flirted with every woman on the X-Men team, and his charm is so powerful that he even temped Jean Grey herself, leading her to comment in front of her longtime love interest Cyclops "I must admit, that as infuriating and arrogant as Gambit can be, those eyes, that grin, that body, it takes a girl's breath away."

Answer 5

Real Name: Remy LeBeau
Affiliation: Four Horsemen
Previous Affiliations: X-Men , Thieves' Guild (Leader), (X-Treme) X-Men
Status: Divorced (Belladonna)

Alternate-X Versions: New Sun (Earth ???), (Age of Apocalypse), Wraith (Amalgam: merged with DC's Obsidian), (Mutant X), (X-Men: Evolution), (X-Men: TAS), (Ultimate), (The End), Witness (XSE - possible) , Witness (Bishop:LXM - possible)
Codename Etymology: Pronounced găm'bĭt [From Italian, gambetto: "act of tripping someone up in wrestling"]; A sacrificial move made at the beginning of an offensive in order to gain a strategic position.
Powers & History: Gambit can charge objects with kinetic energy, causing them to explode. He is extremely agile and quick, and well trained in the martial arts. His thoughts are hard to control, and his voice is somewhat hypnotic. His power's true potential, though permanently excised now, is to control all manner of kinetic energy, allowing him to fire energy blasts, defy gravity and effectively exist as energy. As the adopted son of the leader of the Thieves' Guild of New Orleans, Gambit is also, needless to say, a phenomenal thief. In his Death IV incarnation, Gambit also possesses the ability to create poison gases in his own body and expel them as an offensive weapon.

When Remy was forced to marry his lover Belladonna to keep the peace between the Theives' Guild and her family's Assassins' Guild, her brother Julien challenged him and was killed. As a result, Gambit left New Orleans and apparently ended up in Seattle, where he did some work for Sinister. In addition, at this point in time Gambit's powers were flaring out of control to the potential listed above, and he had Sinister perform an operation that lowered them to normal levels.

His last job was to assemble a group of operatives and help them to infiltrate a secret, closed community. These "operatives," now known as the Marauders, were let into the Morlock tunnels, where they commenced the slaughter known as the Mutant Massacre. Gambit tried to stop them, and was almost gutted by Sabretooth. He did manage to save a little girl named Sarah, who would one day grow up to be Marrow.

Months later, Gambit ran into the de-aged Storm when they both tried to rob the same house. The two became a team, and escaped the Shadow King's minions, who were chasing Storm, and ended up at the ruins of the X-Mansion just in time to be captured by the Genoshan Army and taken to Genosha for trial. Upon Professor X's return, Gambit became a charter member of the X-Men's Blue Team, but always seemed as if he had secrets, which of course, he did. He very shortly became enamored of Rogue, and the two have pursued an on-again, off-again relationship ever since. When Belladonna was injured by the Brood, Gambit faced down the immortal Candra to obtain a cure for her wounds. While he was an X-Man, however, he could not escape the shadow of his past, and when the X-Men were captured by Nanny, working for Magneto, Gambit was put on trial and the full extent of his actions was revealed.

The X-Men escaped, but while Rogue refused to allow Gambit to die in the collapsing citadel they had been in, she left him to fend for himself in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica. Somehow, however, he reappeared while trying to steal the Crimson Gem of Cytorrak, and help Storm and Shadowcat defeat an ailing Juggernaut. Gambit agreed to return to the X-Men, mainly for his self-respect and for his love for Rogue. At the time, Gambit was under the influence of a wraith who constantly threatened him and his friends if he didn't agree to stay with her forever. Apparently, Remy had made his way back into Magneto's Antarctic citadel and was starving to death when he came upon the wraith, a dead mutant girl's psionic essence. This Mary Purcell bonded with him and allowed him to survive until he reached the Savage Land, where someone called "The New Son" helped him get back to civilization.

In return, Gambit ran errands for the New Son, whose ultimate goal is to reconcile man and mutant. When the X-Men finally found out about Gambit's parasite, the energy girl fled with Remy to her old hometown, where she tried to force him to merge with her and become a new type of hybrid lifeform. While Gambit wrestled with her, Rogue charged in with a containment unit, which ultimately dispersed Mary. The full effects of this ordeal are not yet known, as Mary had been subtly manipulating Gambit's body and increasing his powers to ever-higher levels. Recently, he travelled to the past, where he encountered Candra and stopped her from discovering Apocalypse's secrets, helped his father's younger self, and saved his Tante Mattie from a mob. In order to get home, he had the Sinister of the era reactivate his full potential power. This upgrade allows Gambit much more range in his powers. He could then detonate things at a distance, without physical contact, and also charge organic matter, which he never could before. This made him very dangerous, because he could technically blow you up from the inside out just by thinking about it. In addition, his power became hyperactive, to the point where the slightest emotion can set off an explosion around him. The power could even heal mortal wounds, like the stab wound he received from Bullseye. Finally, he could generate a permanent static energy field around his body. This allowed him to touch Rogue: his static field dissipated her power.

When his father disappeared shortly thereafter, Gambit was left in control of the nearly decimated Thieves' Guild of New Orleans. In addition, the New Son turned against him, hiring many assassins to kill Gambit. Eventually, New Son revealed that he was actually an alternate reality version of Remy, who had come to our Earth to prevent it from being destroyed. Gambit fought the New Son and trapped him between moments in time.

In the meanwhile, Gambit also recalled the members of the X-Men on leave into a team, of which he became the de facto leader, and there was some concern over Remy being able to handle the dual leadership roles, and the X-Men not wanting to get embroiled in Guild concerns because of it. Remy and Rogue also broke up, then got back together, on, off, on, off. During the Maximum Security event, Gambit was approached by an alien prison guard who wanted to change the past, and ended up helping him in return for command codes that Remy used to help Earth's heroes stop and contain Ego, the Living Planet.

Eventually the New Sun (new name) broke free, confronted Remy and brought him to his own world. He forced Remy to actualize his full abilities, but then tried to kill him, as it was the New Sun's own attempt to resurrect the Old Kingdom that had destroyed his own world. Gambit, however, had no interest in the power or in dying, so he pushed all of his power into the New Sun, causing him to explode when a statue impaled him on its spear. Remy was narrowly rescued by Courier, and returned to our Earth, his powers returned to normal.

Remy became more of a free-lancer than a regular X-Man, and a few weeks later got into trouble in Australia, where he was accused of murdering the Viceroy, a local crimelord. The team of X-Men who had gone to look for Destiny's journals found and rescued him, and Gambit hung around, most likely to be near Rogue. Unfortunately, one of Destiny's Prophecies was fulfilled and Gambit was captured by alien invaders and turned into a living conduit for the space elevator they sent to Earth, his energy-based powers making him the perfect battery. Resigned to die rather than let Earth be conquered, Gambit asked the X-Men to kill him, since they were unable to breach the protective forcefield around him.

When the X-Men got the power to fluctuate slightly, Gambit managed to charge up a rock, but it got caught when the power beam restabilized. Finally, Rogue sped to rescue Gambit, but the power beam trapped her with him, and they were both stabbed by Vargas. Both Remy and Rogue survived by a near margin, and Beast arrived with other X-Men and performed surgery on Gambit. Even so, Rogue was forced to enter the astral plane to force Gambit to want to live.

Following the repulsion of the invasion, Gambit found himself powerless, though he did not reveal this condition to anyone except Rogue, who was powerless herself. The two left the X-Men, intending to further explore their relationship.

The X-Men eventually caught up with Gambit and Rogue in a mixed human-mutant community in Valle Soleada, California. They helped Storm's team defeat Elias Bogan, and afterwards Rogue got Sage to jump-start Remy's powers. Unfortunately, on a mission a short time later, Gambit's charged card backfired and blinded him. He managed to cope pretty well, but his dependecy was a sore point. Strangely, when Exodus's Brotherhood attacked the Mansion, Gambit somehow received visions of the future despite his blindness. This new ability was short-lived, however, because soon after the Brotherhood's defeat, Rogue again prevailed upon Sage to intervene in Remy's physiology, and she cured him of his blindness.
