Hey there’s the ol’ high kick razzle dazzle twirly twirl Gambit that we know and love. Seriously Channing Tatum was going to play this guy? Gambit isn’t a frat boy football player, he’s a svelte, fashionable, art enthusiast. We needed 1970s David Bowie in that role, not G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. I’m really not sorry that Fox lost the rights to make those movies (X-Men movies, not G. I. Joe movies). They really fucked a lot of them up. I don’t have high hopes for whatever Marvel ends up doing with them, but it can’t be any worse than what Fox was doing. Sure they got lucky a couple of times, but for the most part it was a train wreck. Whatever Marvel does may end up being bland, but it won’t be a train wreck. (Uncanny X-Men #267 – Sept 1990)

Welcome to my Ted Talk where I attempt to convince you that Gambit is really very good with kids and would make a great parent in the 616. Let me lay out my argument under 6 major categories:
PART 1
The Rescuer
It shouldn’t be lost on anyone that the first time we encounter Gambit is in Uncanny X-Men (1990) #266-267 when he saves a de-aged, amnesiac Ororo Munroe (aka Storm, aka Lil’ Ro) from the Shadow King’s hounds. The Gambit we meet may be a smoking, drinking, hard-living thief better suited to a dark noir storyline, but he lets that gritty exterior slip just enough to show us the heart of gold underneath. He saves Lil’ Ro who becomes his lifelong friend and, impressed with his skill and heroism, introduces him to the X-Men.
But this isn’t the first time we see Gambit save a child. In fact, he has a pretty long history of saving children in comic books.
In Gambit (1999) #6, Remy rescues the young mutant boy, Shirow Ishihara, from his own childhood nemesis, The Pig, assuring the kid that his nightmares will fade and he will heal from this trauma.
We also see Gambit’s original introduction mirrored in his Ultimate X-Men universe introduction (2003) #13, when we meet Remy as a young homeless street performer who rescues an orphaned girl he dubs “Little One” from her parents’ killers.
Albeit not his best hour, during Messiah Complex (2007 Chapter 12/New X-Men #46) Remy rescues the mutant baby Hope right before Bishop is ready to outright murder her in cold blood. And even though he hands the baby over to Mystique in a desperate bid to save a dying Rogue, he also snatches her away the moment he understands the full extent of Mystique’s intentions. He is appalled that Mystique would harm a child and knows Rogue wouldn’t trade a baby’s life for her own. He isn’t willing to either.
Even during his very worst hour, The Mutant Massacre, Remy makes a heroic move in saving a single little Morlock girl from the violence – a child that later grows up to be Marrow (X-Men Origins: Gambit). In the late 90s era, Marrow - also known as Sarah, develops something of a crush on Remy, while Remy continues to harbor guilt over his involvement in the massacre and is protective of her because of it.
The Communicator
The Gambit we encounter in Uncanny X-Men #266 is a smooth talker from the start and when it comes to communicating with children he’s no exception. But rather than just being a hustle, you get the sense Remy LeBeau has some extra care and concern when kids are involved. We see this in his interactions with Lil’ Ro, Shirow, and Little One, but in other stories as well:
In X-Men Unlimited (1993) #8, Remy is one of two characters chosen to contact a teenage boy whose mutant powers have newly surfaced and convince him to join Xavier’s school.
During the Hunt for Xavier in X-Men (1999) #83, we encounter the young mutant girl, Nina, who the team rescues from Cerebrite Alpha thanks to Remy's gambit. Remy speaks with her gently and on her level to find out why she was being attacked.
Perhaps one of his strongest moments is in X-Men Unlimited (2004) #14, when Remy must help talk down a young Franklin Richards whose powers are raging out of control in his misdirected anger at Joseph, Magneto’s clone, shortly after the Onslaught storyline where the Fantastic Four appear to have been killed.
The Teacher
His easy way with kids comes in handy later during the abysmal Peter Milligan run on X-Men (2004) #171, when Havok puts Remy in charge of training a squad of young X-Men dubbed the Chevaliers with Roxanne Washington (aka Bling!) as their team captain.
There is also an incident from a less applauded Gambit run (2004) #10 where he teaches a group of younger boys some thieving tips. His teaching pays off, as the kids are able to fetch a disc of the infamous Lili Penrose incident before it ends up in Rogue’s hands. Ugh, 2004.
Though his teaching was limited to mostly combat training during his brief early stint leading the Chevaliers, later on during the years post-Schism including X-Men: Legacy (2008) #161-165, Wolverine and the X-Men (2011), and his own Gambit (2012) solo series, we find out that Remy has taken a position at the newly formed Jean Grey School as a senior staff member teaching actual class subjects including Intro to Art History and Sex Ed. And even though it’s definitely meant to be something of a joke, can you think of a more experienced and less judgmental character for teaching Sex Ed? I’m still annoyed we never actually got to see this on panel though.

Storm/Gambit
Probably the most popular shipping question is whether or not you support any non-canon ships. I never actually thought about that much, until recently. I’m mostly a canon ship supporter: regardless of whether or not I like a couple, if it’s canon, I’ll see it for what it is. Of course there are cases, when I wish things went differently, and honestly, there were some Marvel break ups I took harder than I should have. But I’m so used to Marvel Universe by now, that its never ending movement doesn’t worry me anymore (if anything, “Dawn of X” only loosens the stakes). Anyway, the point here is that I’m in the zone of total canon acceptance with Marvel. That said, I caught myself coming back to one particular non-canon ship that kind of stuck with me. I know there is a fair share of people who’d like that to happen, and I guess I’m one of them.
Storm and Gambit.
Before all the Rogue/Gambit fans get a chance to argue, I wanna clarify, that they were the endgame from their first shared scene, and that shows. I remember reading up on their story what was it… about 17 years ago, and it couldn’t be more obvious. Honestly, it’s not easy to picture them with anyone else (we’ve seen how they do without one another). Besides, the difficulties of their journey only made it more clear. I just think that marriage is not the best idea for them, because I never wanted them to join the pantheon of COUPLES. You know, like Sue and Reed, Jessica and Luke.
But this is not about them. This is about Ororo and Remy, because in-between on again off again Rogue romance, and all the dramatic love stories Storm went through, it would’ve been interesting to see a fun adventurous relationship between these two. What comes to mind is actually Rhett’s quote from “Gone with the Wind”
- Did you ever think of marrying just for fun?
Background
The main argument against this romance is that Storm and Gambit meet under confusing circumstances i.e. he saves her when she’s reverted to her pre-teen years. This happens in Uncanny X-men #265-267
Nanny reverses ‘Roro back to childhood, removing all memories of her adulthood. However, Storm breaks away and hides in Cairo, Illinois. Meanwhile, Shadow King is after her (isn’t he always?). When he lures Storm into a mansion, with the help of his hounds, they attack her, but she jumps out of the window into an outdoor pool. She is pulled out of the water by Gambit. They run away to her hideout.
They stick together, since Remy is also on Shadow King’s radar now, battle him, and run away to New Orleans. There they spend some time doing the Robin Hood thing up until Nanny catches Gambit. Storm rescues him, also growing up to her teens.
Before you get any ideas, I have to mention that right away Gambit knew who Storm was. Yes, you could say that he took care of her, but you can easily say the opposite. They still have a fantastic dynamic, where they easily play off each other’s phrases (but that’s Claremont for you, right?). And normally Ororo’s all “I shall meet you at the monorail”, but her kid self is way less dramatic.
The two have a lot in common, and they have fun in general. Storm even feels like she finally belongs somewhere. And later, she is the one to sponsor Remy’s acceptance to the team.
To sum it up, with this storyline there is potential, and I have no idea where they were going with that originally. Let’s try and figure this out.
After Storm’s unfortunate (but ultimately successful) trip to Genosha (she was kidnapped along with New Mutants and turned into a mutate, but grew back up), she goes back to leading the X-men. Before that though, we get this panel:
New Mutants #97
That’s she actually gets Gambit to join the team, even if just for a while. And we assume they already familiar enough, since when she’s uneasy about whether or not she’s made right choices as a leader, Remy is the one to give her a pep talk. Okay, that’s a completely “friend” thing to do, and I pretty much see no chemistry here. Except for, you know, the fact that one of Gambit’s mutant abilities is to be irresistible.
X-Treme X-men
During X-Treme X-men series ‘Ro and Remy spend plenty of time together, even considering that his and Rogue relationship gets pretty serious, and Storm has a lot going on. But let’s not skip anything important.
Originally in this Claremont’s run, Storm forms a team to go after Destiny’s journals. Of course Rogue is on the roster, which kinda means that eventually Gambit will show up too. That he indeed does. At some point, around issue 4 or 5, the team has to go help out Gambit, because surprise, he’s accused of a murder. That’s pretty much when we see where both ladies’ beliefs are. Rogue doesn’t for a second buy the fact that Remy would kill (even a mafia leader), Storm, on the other hand, doesn’t have much faith in the guy. So yeah, Rogue is goin all true love, while Storm lacks trust. At this point that’s not out of character for her, because the whole operation runs of lack of said trust.
Not to feel too bad for her though, around the same time ‘Roro gets a lot of attention from Bishop, and starts seeing Davis Cameron. A lot is going on in this book, but team Gambit/Storm gets two unforgettable moments.
in X-Treme X-men #4:
And in X-Treme X-men #32
Yes, I know that both times the writers here have to remind us (and him) that Rogue is his soulmate. In this department it would be hard to compete with her really. And I wouldn’t want Storm to. After all Rogue literally saved Remy from death twice in this run only, and there was a hint of resentment in him, but it doesn’t really go anywhere, just dissolves as many other stray phrases.
Either way, Storm and Gambit, they are friends, and we get some good moments out of two of them, when they’re together they seem to have a great chemistry.
Storm 2014 #9
What would I want them to be?
They would never qualify for a serious relationship by any of my standards. Basically, they are too much alike in a sense that he, for the most part, lives the life she would want to. Free of responsibilities like not letting the whole order of nature get out of control. But they still are pretty interesting together, it’s easy for them to understand each other, and talk things through, even though we get only glimpses of that. They are always honest with each other, so they would’ve made a pair that won’t ever have to deal with couples therapy. Also, it’s always jokes and flirting with them, even when they’re both in a relationship, hell, even when she was married.
When they need support, they’re there for each other:
X-men Vol 1 #326
X-men Gold #6
But at the end of the day it’s always gonna be Rogue for him, and now he’s in the ever after zone really (or in a way in a narrative limbo).
As for her… I guess I’ll have to make a whole new in-depth analysis of her ‘ship choices to determine that (she has a lot to choose from).
With the comics anything can happen, so I should probably say that we’ll see where it ends up.
