Abandoned at birth due to his unique eyes, raised on the streets as a member of the infamous Thieves' Guild, Remy LeBeau, Gambit, was trained to be the leader of the group, and as a peace pact between the Thieves' Guild and their rivals, the Assassins' Guild, a marriage was arranged between Remy and Bella Donna Boudreaux, the granddaughter of the head of the Assassins' Guild. However, Bella Donna's brother, Julien, opposed the marriage and challenged Gambit to a duel. Remy killed him in self-defense but was excommunicated and banished from New Orleans to maintain the non-aggression pact between the two guilds. With his mutant powers and skills as a thief, Gambit wandered the world and was recruited by Mr. Sinister for a team of assassins called the Marauders, where he rebelled and was nearly killed by the villain Sabretooth. Remy met Storm and helped her escape from her enemy, the Shadow King, leading Storm to be responsible for Remy's admission to the X-Men. Gambit has been involved with various heroes and villains, but his most famous relationship is with his fellow X-Man, Rogue, with whom he fell in love, with reciprocated mutual feelings. A charmer and a trickster, Gambit is extremely skilled in throwing small objects such as cards, bolas, knives, and balls with great precision.  

 

On a small platform inserted in the dangerous jungle of the hidden world known as the Savage Land, the Cajun mutant with a French accent from New Orleans, Louisiana, stands on rocks and beautiful vegetation, scaling the remains of a tree trunk and roots, surveying the battlefield with his striking eyes of black sclera and purple irises. Endowed with superhuman agility, balance, endurance, reflexes, speed, and enhanced strength, he is an excellent fighter, skilled in Savate (French boxing), Kickboxing, Karate, Taekwondo, and Bōjutsu, the art of using a Bō staff, his favorite weapon which he carries in an extendable version securely leaning on his right arm. With his primary power of molecular acceleration through touch, capable of vibrating his molecules, producing kinetic energy, creating his characteristic explosive cards, he holds a charged card in his left hand, emanating energy and ready to be thrown. Wearing his black, silver, and purple tactical uniform, covered by his inseparable trench coat, Iron Studios proudly presents its statue "Gambit - X-Men Comics - Legacy Replica 1/4", the second future release of an X-Men hero in the Legacy Replica 1/4 line, soon to be joined by Dr. Hank McCoy, better known as The Beast.
