Marvel should give him a billion dollars to do a one-shot full of Cable, Venom, Gambit, Silver Sable, Bishop and all those 90's folks. <BR/><BR/>I hate Gambit as a comic book character, but loved him on the cartoon(s). Everything he said in the '90s one was hilarious (that holds true for everyone on that show though).<BR/><BR/>Rachelle, given your argument regarding Wolverine vs. Batman, does this mean we'll be Logan's hunkiness rated soon? And what do you think of Darkclaw...sexier than Batman? Sexier than Logan? Batman's sexiness minus Wolverine's sexiness?

Also, his whole thing was sexing ladies. I also think the whole forbidden love thing with Rogue was very appealing to us girls. So angsty. Except Gambit wasn't angsty. That's why I loved him. He was all laid back and cool, plus you could never be sure if he was a good guy or not. He was a thief, and he still liked thieving. Plus, he exploded things. And he had a cute accent.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE YOU, GAMBIT!rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180614738344530538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-26638907528466473772007-05-06T18:54:00.000-03:002007-05-06T18:54:00.000-03:00Actually, I was 11 when Venom debuted and 13 when ...Actually, I was 11 when Venom debuted and 13 when Gambit did. But I never got into the characters. I can appreciate Venom for the whole duality thing, and Gambit for... well, no, I still don't see it. (Girls love that guy, though.)

I'm still happy with my 11 free Robin comics and my GL ring, but I wish we'd had Darwyn Cooke. It's just weird because I spent most of my time in the shop talking to someone about how awesome Darwyn Cooke was.
