I just read an issue of x-men, showing gambit as the witness, with trophies from battles across time and space. Which other members do you see as being capable of reaching similar levels epicness on the scale of gambit as the witness.

cable, wolverine, Rachel, Deadpool (and Bob)

I've never considered the Witness very epic, so... all of them, I guess.

Getting killed by the Marauders recently probably didn't help his epicness.

Is this for real?

Gambit? Epic? :D :D :D :D

This is hilarious...

pryde15 · 01-15-2008, 08:59 AM

ahahahaha...

I don't really consider him as Witness as an epic character, I don't consider Gambit epic by himself, really.

Gambit is bad @$$.

Sometimes I think that in all likelihood he'll becomes the 90s equivalent of Longshot. Very popular for a few years, but not really deep enough in terms of character to stick around without being attached to an X-Female.

....words hurt, Sword. Words hurt. :(

(Besides, Longshot would be a great character if he could get away from the X-Men and back to the MU proper again.) :D

Cartoon Gambit was definitely totally romantic and could get the sheets wet, but comic Gambit barely gets my knickers wet.

BAH! Gambit rules! They just need to drop the Rogue/Gambit crap and get back to working on him being AWESOME.

The Sword Is Drawn · 01-15-2008, 09:41 AM

I don't mean to do a disservice to Longshot - I thought he was great in the 80s, and was a big fan. But he got caught into that horrible convention of only ever being written as part of a couple, and never given the chance to become a broader, more interesting character.

Gambit suffers in a similar way. the Gambit/Rogue relationship has been a giant millstone around both characters necks. But Rogue has been given space to be developed. And while Gambit has had his own series - most of which I own, worryingly - the character didn't really get a great deal of growth for all the issues he was given.

Both longshot and Gambit are almost impossible to write as X-Men now, without extreme referencing and focus on their former other halves. Maybe a break into the MU would do both a favour. Really, I see that as the only way to improve and develop them.

And every comic character should get a chance to be awesome under PAD.
