General Information

Nicknames: Cajun, Ragin’ Cajun, Swamp Rat, Gumbo, Le Diable Blanc.

Powers
Gambit has the mutant ability to charge objects with their potential kinetic energy. While his power has shown no size limitations, the larger the object, the longer it takes to charge. When the charged object hits another object (i.e. a wall, a person, etc...), the charged object will explode with force equal to the amount of energy Remy charged it with. Remy also has another power, psionic in nature, which allows him to persuade others easily (his "hypnotic charm"). While it is not proven to be related to his mutation, Gambit has incredible psychic shields erected in his mind. Very few psis have been able to penetrate them, which leads to believe that Mr. Sinister implanted them to avoid anyone learning of his existence. Also possibly related to his mutation is his agility.

History
Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves Guild. They referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil - and believed he was prophesied to unite the warring Thieves and Assassins Guilds. Soon after Remy was placed in the care of a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery.
When he was ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then patriarch of the Thieves Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy in off the streets and adopted him into his own family. As part of a peace pact between the Thieves Guild and their rivals, the Assassins Guild, a marriage was arranged between Remy and Bella Donna Bodreaux, the granddaughter of the head of the Assassins Guild. However, Bella Donna's brother Julien objected to the marriage and challenged Remy to a duel. Remy killed Julien in self-defense, but was excommunicated and banished from New Orleans in an attempt to maintain the nonagression pact between the two guilds.
Remy wandered the world as he plied his skills as a master thief, aided by his mutant power to charge objects with explosive energy. At one point Remy had approached the master geneticist Mr Sinister for help in controlling his powers. Sinister removed some of Remy's brain tissue to reduce his power levels, thus affording him a greater degree of control. As a result, Remy was now indebted to Sinister, who charged the thief with assembling the team of assassins called the Marauders. Remy did not realise that Sinister would employ the Marauders to massacre the underground mutant community known as the Morlocks. Seeing the horrific results of his actions, Remy attempted to stop the massacre but was almost killed by the Marauder named Sabretooth. However, he did manage to save one young Morlock girl, who grew up to become a certain X-Men.
Eventually, Remy encountered Storm, a member of the outlaw team of mutant adventurers known as the X-Men. Storm had been transformed into an amnesiac child and who had turned to theft. Remy helped her to escape her enemy, the malevolent psionic entity known as the Shadow King, and they became partners. Later, when the X-Men's founder Professor Charles Xavier returned from a long period of travelling in outer space, Storm sponsored Remy's admission into the X-Men. Remy has since then been a working member of the team.
