Gambit (Remy LeBeau) is a Cajun mutant thief with the ability to charge objects with kinetic energy — most famously a deck of playing cards — and the devil-may-care charisma to charm anyone in the room. Created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1990, Gambit's mysterious past, uneasy alliance with the X-Men, and tempestuous romance with Rogue made him one of the most popular X-Men of the 1990s. His dark past as a hired killer adds welcome moral ambiguity.
