https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gambit.jpg
Voiced by: Phil LaMarr Foreign VAs
First appearance: "Thieves' Gambit"

Remy LeBeau, also known as Gambit, is a mutant who is also thief for-hire. His primary mutant power is the ability to charge matter with volatile kinetic energy, which usually causes the object in question to explode when thrown. He generally uses playing cards for this purpose.


  • Adaptational Villainy: Gambit, while also not part of the X-Men in the first place in this adaptation, is less noble than his comic book counterpart and willing to sell out mutantkind out in the name of money.
  • Affably Evil: So long as it doesn't get in the way of his personal interests, he's quite sincere and polite even when there's no sign of manipulation.
  • Badass Longcoat: Just like his comic book counterpart and most versions, Gambit wears a long coat with body armor.
  • Batman Gambit: His plan to steal Magneto's helmet was to admit that he was sent there to steal Magneto's helmet so he could walk around freely thus he could have an easier time stealing Magneto's helmet. Turns out the helmet was just misdirection so that he could cripple their infrastructure with a few well-placed explosives.
  • Cane Fu: His particular style of bojutsu focuses on the use of a bo staff.
  • The Charmer: He's very adept at sweet-talking others and can really pour on the verbal charm if he wants to.
  • Charm Person: He has a degree of "hypnotic charm" that works on some females.
  • Conspicuous Gloves: Gambit also wears gloves. His touch allows him to change the potential energy of objects he touches into kinetic energy; his gloves have a few fingers open or missing so he can "charge" and manipulate his cards (one of his weapons of choice). That said, the gloves' design is also cool.
  • Deadpan Snarker: As always, every other sentence that comes out of his mouth is a snark.
  • Enemy Mine: Wolverine does not get along with him, but Gambit is forced to work with him when being held at claw point for selling off a mutant power inhibitor. It goes as well as one would expect.
  • The Gambler: As with most versions, Gambit energizes playing cards to explode on impact and tosses them with precision at his targets.
  • Gentleman Thief: Subverted in that he's lovable but still a total sleaze who will sell out those who hinder him getting more money or finishing a job. When it comes to fulfilling a deal or saving his own skin as he was all too willing to let Wolverine get blasted for destroying his money even after he promised to pay him for another job.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: His eyes have been known to give off red energy when he's intended to look particularly badass.
  • Improbable Weapon User: The exploding playing cards, not the bo staff.
  • Lovable Rogue: In addition to being a thief, he is this as well.
  • The Magic Touch: He has the ability to turn anything he touches into an explosive. Although he prefers to charge and flick playing cards at his opponent.
  • Noble Demon: The Thieves Guild has a Code of Honor which he sticks by.
  • Only in It for the Money: Gambit makes it clear he doesn't care who he sides with as long as he gets paid handsomely.
  • Paper Master: His playing card ammo.
  • Poirot Speak: His Caijun French dialect.
  • Playing Card Motifs: He has a playing card theme.
  • Pungeon Master: He occasionally throws in a playing card pun mid-conversation.
  • Promoted to Love Interest: He never had a relationship with Polaris in the comics.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: His classic magenta vest and his power's glow. Not to mention the playing cards he's seen with so far have pink-ish-colored backs.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Plays the Blue Oni to Wolverine's red, being the calmer planner going for the subtle approach, while Wolverine is perfectly fine with blindly charging in.
  • Truer to the Text: He is much more faithful to his comic book counterpart than the X-Men: Evolution version was.
  • Trojan Prisoner: Gambit is able to get onto Genosha by admitting that Senator Kelly sent him there to steal Magneto's helmet. Turns out he's actually there to cripple their infrastructure and leave them open to invasion.
  • Wild Card: Gambit's not above renegotiating his contracts under fire. And then bailing out once he gets what he wanted.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: It is unknown what happened to him after Polaris sank the boat in which he was using to leave Genosha.
