Even if he's a superhero now, Gambit's still one of the world's best thieves - and sometimes stealing from the bad guys might be justified, even if it breaks laws and blurs some lines. But one particular robbery has consequences that draw a lot of unwanted attention, setting the two sides of Gambits life against each other.

Gambit's been a thief. He's been a superhero. But can he genuinely try to be both at once?

Tiger Shark and Lady Stilt-Man warily view him as a hero in the wrong place, Batroc (who knows Gambit's Thieves Guild background) welcomes him as criminal nobility, a couple of A.I.M. goons speculate about which way it'll go - and the doorman only lets him in after checking the latest news.

''Gambit'', later collected as ''Gambit: King of Thieves'', is a 2012 series from Creator/MarvelComics, starring [=Remy LeBeau=], the eponymous [[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit]].

Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the series is part of the wider ComicBook/XMen franchise and finds Gambit reconsidering his life, trying to balance his new responsibilities as an X-Man and teacher (at the 'Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters') with his history in the Thieves Guild of New Orleans.

Even if he's a superhero now, Gambit's still one of the world's best thieves - and sometimes stealing from the bad guys might be justified, even if it breaks laws and blurs some lines. But one particular robbery has consequences that draw a lot of unwanted attention, setting the different sides of Gambits life against each other.

Gambit's been a thief. He's been a superhero. But can he genuinely try to be both at once?

The first issue was released August 8, 2012. The series ended with issue #17, released September 25, 2012.
