That version of him is actually so powerful that he can travel through the multiverse, and he uses that power to go kill himself in other Earths so they won't do what he did and destroy the planet and everyone on it... which he says he did by accident. In New Son he also mentions that in one of the universes the Phoenix Force got in his way so he had to kill it O.o
To be fair each of those beans where probably also super charged so not only did the can explode but each bean probably exploded with the same strength as the can exploding
Favourite Gambit moment: in one issue of his solo series he'd been chewing gum during a fight and the Xecutioner pinned him against a wall. Gambit charged the gum in his mouth and spat it On Xecutioners helmet and it exploded
I remember reading one comic where Gambit is in the middle of a zombie outbreak, and realizes that zombies are dead. Therefore, there are a lot of pages after that realization of him just vaulting zombies while charging their heads to explode.
The problem with the writer who decided to do that is, organic matter is organic matter; the classification of “dead” or “alive” is trivial in that regard. Furthermore, they can be inconsistent with that “not charging organic matter” bit, as they literally had him charge a tree by accident in the animated series.
Gambit is cool, Everytime he shows up in a game or show, he's gonna do something cool, everytime (Even in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Taylor Kitsch had the look... But it had some overall problems that look small in comparison to the entire movie). Yet, he hangs around most people who don't really think so, like Wolverine always calls him out, and for years, Rogue never really took his advances, but he would always go for it, and chip away at her untill he made her Mrs. LeBeau lol For the longest time Fox was trying to make that Channing Tatum Gambit movie happen, and the Fates of Destiny said Naw, and pushed it back until it can never happened lol
When the new X-Men comes out they can do What if Rogue was a Lawyer? What if Gambit was really into Tennis? What if Wolverine was chill as fuck? And it'll just piss everyone off.
In Age Of X comic where Professor X's son creates an alternate reality where x-men take on slight different take of themselves, Gambit uses a gun (rifle) and charges the bullets.
The bright side of using playing cards are they're cheap, easy to throw, you get 52 of them, and it takes almost no weight or space when you need to carry lots of them. Most bigger objects would start adding lots of weight and add less to his potential ammo count. Personally Gambit is my favorite "X-men" since he was once than wasn't I lost track when I was a kid.
One of the "villains" in YuYu Hakusho has the same power as bullseye but because it is spirit energy, he can hit people from any distance making any object lethal
In the 90s show he was knocked unconscious sliding down a snowy hill and his hand hooked onto a tree and blew up the tree. So not only can his powers work while unconscious he can also blow up living matter. I think its by choice that he doesn't.
Charged a basketball and sent Rogue through the X-Mansion with it. Gambit and Jubilee can combine their powers for bigger explosions. The good thing about Gambit's powers, is it's more concussive/blunt force trauma. Much like Cyclops eye blast. So it helps with the idea that people can get beat but still survive. They're just taking lots of force damage and one thing supers can do, is take lots of force damage.
@@falconole8633 it’s an English sweet. Basically a small stick of caramel coated in chocolate and used to be 10p and curly wurly is a long curly stick of caramel coated in chocolate about 50p. Both taste banging and good value. When I was 12 one of my mates once found me by following a trail of chomp wrappers.
About bullseye and his ability to make every day objects powder your bones in a series called jojos bizarre adventure, there is a character with the ability to make literally anything come at you with the force of a bullet just by thinking about that person. Even the rain tore holes through the main characters body like butter
Me and my friends used to throw cards at eachother. It wasn't tied to gambit it was just a cool neat way to inflict damage on eachother without wrestling all the time and it was easier to do in school.
When a mutant becomes a horsemen, they dont gain a totally different power set, their existing powers get a large boost, And they end up physically with a hedgy edgy makeover to their appearance
I'm not sure if it was 616 gambit, but at one point he was omega level and had a real hard time controlling his power and willingly went to sinister and had sinister nerf him to the level he usually is in the comics... he had godlike level of power and was like, "na cher, I just want to trow dem cards, eh..." lol
The story they actually went with for his background was he took a one time deal with Mr Sinister to lead the Marauders to the home of the Morlocks (homeless mutants due to the obvious nature of their mutations who live underground) so Sinister could harvest them for parts as they wouldn't be missed. In exchange, Sinister gave Gambit a lobotomy to limit his powers as he was scared as they were growing in power and out of control. In another comic series, Gambit ends up confronting a being from another universe, which is the most powerful mutant that ever existed, and it turns out to be himself from a Universe when he never got the lobotomy. And in the Age of Apocalypse story line, he was a leader of a mutant team called the Xternals, and he used throwing knives. But nowadays, Gambit likes to spend his time hustling, cheating at basketball, and wooing women (and maybe men). As you can tell, I like him as a character a lot.
Great episode,me and and a mate just calculated that if gambit charged a whole deck of cards in a pack it would have 120lbs of explosive power, If he charged up 275577 decks of playing cards it'll have a 15kt explosive power the same as Hiroshima....
If you look at the oldest drawing of Gambit he was given throwing knives. I think they took away the knives because Longshot was a popular character at that time and he used throwing knives, they didn't want two X-men doing the exact same thing except with the new character doing it better. The throwing cards just looked better anyways, but the drawing with Gambit posing with glowing purple knives was cool. Tennis balls might not work out so well. Imagine Gambit charges a tennis ball, then hits the charged ball with a racket. Does the tennis ball explode immediately? Or does Gambit mentally control when it explodes? If he mentally controls when it explodes, why doesn't he just leave a trail of bombs and explode them when he is being pursued? Or use a gun? A sling shot with steel balls might be more effective, but it might look dorky. It also is an obvious weapon. The sling shot seems less likely to make a charged ball explode than hitting it with a racket or setting off an explosion behind it like a bullet. If Gambit used a spear thrower, could he charge the javelin and the spear thrower so the javelin gets thrown faster and farther? Could get very scary.
Gun with an opening in the mag/grip so he can charge the bullet that's about to go into the chamber. Now make it a high powered rifle, or a howitzer, or those tiny seeking mini missiles from some versions of the Iron Man suit...
It wouldn't work if gambit played tennis. As soon as the ball leaves his hand for the serve, its "live" so when he hits it with a racket, it will explode. The best he could do would be to throw them, which means he would be vastly better off using baseballs
When I was about 9, I found a book in the library about throwing playing cards. Yes, a full length book on how to do it. I got really really good. Like, I could stick a playing card in a wooden door from across the room. During a night of drinking in college, I was showing a friend this, he put his hands up and said “throw one to me.” I did. It went through his outstretched hands and split his eyebrow open. 😳
Fun fact gambit is an omega level mutant his power was so vast he couldn't control it so he had the largest portion of his mutant power locked by apocalypse so that he wouldn't destroy everything.. he literally has so much kinetic energy he had his power unlocked to fight a parallel universe version of himself and he was able to become fill body charged in kinetic energy... he's wqy more powerful then any cartoon depictions
In the super market he should see lemons not oranges and while he’s throwing the first one he says “ you know what they say when life gives you lemons”
I like how in Xmen just about everyone on the team is capable of being a Omega level threat. And Gambit is one of those characters that if he was nerfed he could destroy planets.
Gambit literally has a body built for attracting either sex...this is supposed to be a mutation... mutations take place in an attempt to better suit the environment...gambits body is telling him to be bisexual and that it will increase his odds of survival lol
I'm surprised you didn't mention New Son. It's an alternate reality version of Gambit where his powers are fully unlocked and he's an Omega level mutant that destroyed his universe because his powers went out of control. He then started traveling to every other universe to kill every other version of himself before they could destroy their universe's. Powers include time travel, energy manipulation on a molecular level and the ability to charge anything, including organic material with just sight and the ability to turn himself into pure energy.
@4:10 this guy is such a..... he set his friend up to explain Gambit's ability, more than likely read Gambit's official descriptions on wiki so that he could THEN correct his friend with correct wording to try to sound smart. sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!
Gambit’s power is scarier when you take into consideration the dangers of certain materials being charged, such as uranium, adamantium and vibranium. It’d be so cool if he had multiple decks of cards made of different materials for different occasions, however, to take it up a notch, Gambit would be devastating as an archer. I can totally see a comic where Hawkeye is teaching gambit how the basics of archery work, the utility of trick arrows and how to better utilize Gambit’s power in sync with firing arrows.
he has a line in x-men evolution that is quite cool.
Rogue - What's the deal with the cards?
Gambit - Imagine carrying 52 bombs in a single pocket
He could be carrying a lot more, but maybe it helps with his accuracy to use cards
@@rewrose2838 He's also a card shark, so he does use the cards as cards sometimes too
He also used a blanket on toad in evolution. He said if he let go toad wouldn't exist anymore.
Also, with skill he can aim easily, unlike carrying buttons or Peebles, Wich the wind could blow away
Fun Fact: there is an alternate reality where Gambit did charge the earth, which killed everyone on it.
That is new sun
And became Dr Manhattan
I actually own the series! Love every single book
@@EduardoRubioLogan is that the "Gambit" series? Sounds super interesting, is there a compendium?
That version of him is actually so powerful that he can travel through the multiverse, and he uses that power to go kill himself in other Earths so they won't do what he did and destroy the planet and everyone on it... which he says he did by accident. In New Son he also mentions that in one of the universes the Phoenix Force got in his way so he had to kill it O.o
Lol maybe it should just be called “wiki whenever”
Wiki when?
@@Jackofafewtrades wiki what?
There was that time that Gambit threw a can of beans at a Helicarrier and almost destroyed the thing in a single shot
where did the can hit?
I dont know but i am gonna GUESS it hit the tail rotor
Gambit said "these are beans for my family."
To be fair each of those beans where probably also super charged so not only did the can explode but each bean probably exploded with the same strength as the can exploding
Everyone was shocked, especially Remy
Favourite Gambit moment: in one issue of his solo series he'd been chewing gum during a fight and the Xecutioner pinned him against a wall. Gambit charged the gum in his mouth and spat it On Xecutioners helmet and it exploded
I'm imagining him just dumping a ton of BBs into his mouth and becoming a machine gun like a cartoon
i like the idea of gambit being death though because people would challenge him to a game for their lives and he'd shark the hell out of them
Pillow fights are all fun and games till gambit decides to supercharge some goose down.
The fact that that desk looked almost shopped in fits this channel so well
Imagine if Gambit just took a bath in like a tub of bullets or something, then he loads them into a minigun
He doesn’t even need a minigun he could just tip over the tub and all the bullets would go flying
SCROOGE MCDUCK???

Gambit has shoes he's on. Huh? Neat.
@@KumiChan2004 I thought the exact same thing. Where they vans? If so I'd track a pair down. Gambit on a shoe sounds boss!
I always thought Josh Hartnett would have played a damn good Gambit. Maybe there's still time. Lol.
@@khrashingphantom9632 They probably are. heheh.
I mean, maybe its just that Channing Tatum isn't destined to be Gambit. They should try again but with Taylor Kitsch
Imagine if gambit was more into tennis than cards that would feel so wrong that's like saying what if gambit never flirts with rogue 🤣
When the new X-Men comes out they can do What if Rogue was a Lawyer?
What if Gambit was really into Tennis?
What if Wolverine was chill as fuck?
And it'll just piss everyone off.
@@Werewolf914 Zen Wolverine would sell as many comics as Pacifist Juggernaut 😂

The madlad released it on a Saturday, that's a "release the hounds" worthy offense against faraway Lucas
I waited so long for a Gambit Wiki Weekend! Glad he’s got the spot on your silver screen…or green screen in your case.
I feel like that desk is a standing desk and this is just an only slightly clever ruse.
@@handsoapinc has chair broke hes standing in the hole its a 500iq ruse

Looks so nice.

And at only a couple bucks a pack, it's very cheap to stock up for a fight
One of the "villains" in YuYu Hakusho has the same power as bullseye but because it is spirit energy, he can hit people from any distance making any object lethal
Sniper hitting with a pencil eraser from 500m away was so scary
The editors pulled a heckin bamboozle with the release day
I always laughed when Wolverine would call Gambit “gumbo”
Love how much they fuck with eachother like this.
Damn they really said "oh you said Wednesday? Aight bet Saturday we posting this"
To be fair, being naturally charming to the point of being able to do what you want IS a real life superpower...
In the 90s show he was knocked unconscious sliding down a snowy hill and his hand hooked onto a tree and blew up the tree. So not only can his powers work while unconscious he can also blow up living matter. I think its by choice that he doesn't.
"There's nothing more terrifying than seeing a chomp flying at your head at like mach 3" what a sentence to exist 😂
Cerebro: Omega level threat detected!
Prof X: Calm down, I needed Gambit to pick up some things from the hardware store.
Since i was a kid Gambit was my favorite X-Men from the tv-show, he's so cool
Imagine fighting Gambit on a beach and you just see him pick up a fistful sand
Imagine how Gambit discovered his powers. He's playing nerf as a kid and accidently blows his friends arm off cos he unknowingly charged the bullet 😂
Mass acceleration makes gambit into a living RAILGUN
"no full auto in the building!"
"That's not full auto."
"That's not full auto?"
*Brrrrrr*
"Dayum!"
Except it's gambit pulling the trigger.
And thus Karls assumption about the upload date was correct.

Awesome video as always

I remember this comic where Gambit charged a huge ship's anchor, and dropped it on some dudes, levelling the harbor.
Only problem is you cant play a decent hand after Gambit gets mad!
You might not have a hand after that. Or either.

Are we not gonna talk about Gambit being able to convert his body into kinetic energy and time travel?

Weirdest thing about Gambits powers . He is in constant motion all the time. SO if he ever got the power of Juggernaut. He would be the unstoppable.
Gambit literally has a body built for attracting either sex...this is supposed to be a mutation... mutations take place in an attempt to better suit the environment...gambits body is telling him to be bisexual and that it will increase his odds of survival lol
Not true there is plenty of evolution just to attract mates better.

Powers include time travel, energy manipulation on a molecular level and the ability to charge anything, including organic material with just sight and the ability to turn himself into pure energy.
Oh and the only reason main Gambit doesn't have these powers is because Mr. Sinister basically gave him a lobotomy.
Gambit being into bowling... I have to image that'd be like The Bowler from Mystery Men but taken to the extreme. Would be hilarious to see.

its also very efficent amunition, u can carry hunderds in a few pockets
The roadside of the 90's series that introduced Nightcrawler had Gambit get knocked unconscious angs accidentally charge and blow up a pine tree.
