To those who don't know Remy LeBeau, they'd perhaps describe him as 'free', 'charming', 'a flirt.' Gambit has proven time, and time again, to be a man who enjoys life, and intends to live it to its fullest with every gamble. The problem? Gambit is a mask. Beneath the facade of 'Gambit', sits Remy LeBeau. A man riddled with guilt, anxiety, a complex, sad, angst filled character, who regrets nearly everything he's done. Remy LeBeau cares, and that's his problem. He can't help but care. He has a soft spot for those in need, for strays abandoned, left to fend for themselves. Often a source of distrust amongst those he calls allies, Remy fights hard to prove himself a true hero, and an even better husband, so that maybe, just maybe, he can find a family...that doesn't turn him away. Powers Showing his hand Energy Conversion: Remy has the power to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy, thus "charging" that item with explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object. The larger it is, the more time it takes. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact. The power of his explosions is dependent on the mass of the object he is charging, for example, a charged playing card explodes with the force of a grenade. He typically cannot utilize his powers on living matter or organic molecules, although he has demonstrated the ability to do so on occasion. These powers have been altered on various occasions; sometimes bolstered while other times weakened. They were most notably augmented once by Sage to enable him to accelerate his own regeneration process and better control his kinetic shifting, and again by Faiza when he was shot through the head by a crime lord and spat
