Close up of Gambit in X-Men-'97

The Big Picture In X-Men '97’s explosive finale, the titular mutant superhero team finally triumphs over murderous cyborg Bastion and gets their on-again-off-again enemy, Erik “Magnus” Lehnsherr/Magneto to relent and give up his war against humanity once more. But afterward, they are immediately launched into what’s sure to be their next world-altering conflict.

The despot remarks on how much death Genosha has seen while holding a Queen of Hearts playing card he finds in the wreckage, alluding to deceased X-Man Remy LeBeau/Gambit , who used his mutant powers to turn playing cards into explosive weapons and sacrificed himself to destroy the wild Sentinel Bastion unleashed in a tragic attack on the island. This could be an indication that Apocalypse will resurrect Gambit to serve as his Horseman, Death, a role the latter once played in the comics.

Gambit Has a History of Working for Villains in Comics Close Unfortunately, those are not the only points in his history in which Gambit has served as a villain rather than a hero. Earlier comics revealed that he had worked for Sinister previously before joining the X-Men. He is shown to have been responsible for assembling the original Marauders roster, which subsequently massacred the sewer-dwelling mutants known as the Morlocks.

In X-Men ’97, another victim of the Genosha attack was Sean Cassidy/Banshee , an ally of the X-Men who was serving on the nation’s leading council. In the comics, after being killed by a rogue former X-Man, Vulcan, Sean is resurrected by Uriel and Eimin, the so-called “Apocalypse Twins.” Uriel and Eimin are the children of Warren Worthington III/Archangel and served as Apocalypse’s heirs at a point when the tyrant was dead and had not yet been resurrected.
