They fight in the X-mansion grounds with its defences set to attack the both of them whilst they are fighting. NO PREP. Winner gets to take home Psylocke........................

Big Sexy
I like gambit waay more than cap but I think in a fight cap would lay him out.

badabing
If the X-Mansion defenses are set to attack both of them, I have to go with Cap on this one.

willRules
I think it could go either way. if Gambit keeps his distance he can do it, but if Cap gets too close he outfights him and wins................

steverules
I think they make their own insurance company IMO. laughing out loud

willRules
so who voted for Gambit if everyone thinks Cap wins?

Tallis
I think gambit wins this. He does'nt have to get near cap, he'll just fire a barage of projectiles, and since Gambit is so agile he can avoid any charge from Captain. true that Cap will use his shield to block the attack but he'll get annoyed and try to attack once he sees that getting close to Gambit wont work he'll send his shield launching toward Gambit who should be able to avoid it. He'll then pick it up charge and a fire it right back and it'll be game over for captain america

Etrigan
Cap wins, probably. Gambit beat Wolvie once by fluke.

Scoobless
Cap would own the sh!t out of Gambit



That is all

Gambit wins. He's got he home field advantage AND Captain America is going to have to loose his shield if he going to drop Gambit. Once he throws the sheild, the cards and X-weapons are going to overwhelm him. Hell, they'll overwhelm him WITH the shield. Gambit just has to dodge the X-mansion weapons and wait for an opening. On the other hand, Captain America has really one shot to win here. If he takes the chance and throws his shield, he's gone. If he doesn't, he'll still lose eventually.

Two hits.
Captain's shield to Gambit's face.
Gambit's head smacking the ground.

So that would be 3 hits. lol

MrHeavySilence
Gambits going to win. He'd heat the shield up to the point where Captain America can no longer hold it, and then he'll be assaulted with a barrage of poker cards blowing up in his face. After that, Gambit will knock him out with a kinetically charged staff.

Psyquis52
The guy can dodge bullets at point blank distance and for some odd reason you think he can't dodge bright and shiny cards.

So can can Gambit yet you think he'll get hit a bright,shiny, NONEXPLOSIVE shield.

A lot of you also seem to forget that the X-Mansion defense system is firing at both of them as well. If Captain America throws his sheild, he'll be vulnerable.

Psyquis52
Cap has been in that position before and in zero gravity no less.
If the Cap survived an automatic defense system w/o his shield and in zero gravity and think he can handle the given situation.
Oh. And the trick to dodging Captain America's shield is not dodging it the first time, it's when it comes back around that makes it hard.
Also I think Gambit might be able to dodge the shield. I never said Cap was going to throw it I just said he was going to hit him with it.

If the Human Torch's nova blast can't heat it up to that point then there's no way in hell that Gambit can do it

wow, i'm surprised by the cap luv! i think cap would take the majority as well, but i say it's pretty close -- 7/10 cap

and there is no way in hell tha cap gets hit by one of these cards, gambit doesnt throw them fast enough, and as for gambits agility, Captain America puts beast to shame in that department, hes like the poorman's spiderman.

I didn't say Captain couldn't dodge the weaponry, BUT he can't dodge the weaponry in combination with Gambit's arsenal simultaneously being launched at him.

Gambit has thrown three cards from fifty feet away, hit a half millimeter trip wire, AND did this faster than thought. He could hit Captain America considering Captain will also be dodging the defense systems.

Gambit also has Captain beat in agility. Not mention, Gambit can still attack while dodging without compromising his defensive capabilities here. Captain America cannot.

Ah okay, I forgot that Captain America wears his shield on a leather strap. So when Cap throws his shield, all Gambit has to do is heat the leather strap portion and when it comes back full circle, Cap won't be able to touch it. Its much easier for Gambit to win because all he has to do is reach out for Cap's face and blow it up.

I've often wondered how they managed to attach a leather strap to a disc of the most indestructible metal on earth

The_Olympian
They just do, man... they just do..

Same reason Wolverines Adamantium Degrades within his body even though adamantium DOESN'T degrade.

Same Reason Gambit CAN throw cards as far as he does even though it's physically impossible. People Can throw Cards... and far, if you have the skill. But 60 Yards? Come one!

Same reason people think Jean Grey can beat Hulk but not Juggernaut (It took Cable, one of the most powerful telepath, a PERFECTLY placed Psyblast along with a miraculously timed Storm lightning bolt to put HIM down...)

so gambit can have aim with the cards, trip wires dont dodge.....Cap does, and Very well, considering he dodges literally about 50bullets a day, and either way he doesnt have to dodge them just block, but he wont block them, he'll let gambit throw his cards, and he will throw his shield, while gambit is busy trying to aim. and either way gambit is the one here who is gonna have to problem dodgeing the defense system, CAP is WAY more agile, for you to even open your mouth to speak on his agility compared to gambits is like comparing DD to Spiderman-cap being spiderman.

Tshern
Doesn't Gambit have a bit enhanced agility? He's at least peak human, so there's no way Cap defeats in that regard. Nor would Cap win this match, Gambit could just explode the place up and even one touch would be able to destroy Captain America.

Ok I agree that Cap probably just wins this but he is no way more agile than Beast. One showing of him doing that doesn't really constitute a higher level of agility especially when taking into account the number of agile feats Beast has performed.

Tshern
Because he passed a training designed for Beast? Give me a break, that doesn't make him more agile, probably not even as agile as Beast. I'm pretty sure Cap is able to do a weightlift training with Beast too, but still he isn't as strong as him.


Than being exploded to smithereens? I highly doubt that.


Spider-man has enhanced strength, so he's a bit stronger than normal people?


Gambit can aim while dodging and he's also faster than Cap. This has been illustrated in the pictures posted by StyleTime. I understand you want to defend your favourite character, but there's no need to be irrational.

I could if I had a scanner. Hmph, I'm really getting annoyed because of the fact that I can't take scans of my comics.



I was being a bit unclear there, my bad. I meant one touch laid on Cap would be enough, it would definitely take more time to destroy the mansion, no doubt about that.



Well, Gambit threw a card faster than the speed of thought... Also the agility displayed in those scans is appalling. And in Wikipedia Gambit's agility is described enhanced while DD and Captain America are described to be peak humans.

But hey, I have to be going now, so we have to tangle up another time. Have a nice day!

Okay I've re-evaluated that the adamantium shield cannot be charged, nor the leather strap. Still, Captain America's adamantium shield will almost always be deflected by Gambit's adamantium staff. Not to mention Gambit has about 51 more projectiles than Cap (plus all the raw materials around), and he's bound to hit him. Gambit's no Bullseye but he's still a master at this stuff. Also, Gambit can just cut the leather strap with a biokinetically charged card, which would make it harder for Captain America to use it as a shield cause his hands can get tagged. Its just going to be a large projectile war, and since Gambit has a lot more, he's going to win. Gambit would never let Cap get close enough for a knockout and vice versa on Cap's clothing being kinetically charged to explode.

Gambit uses his charged weapons more accurately than almost anybody using guns in the Marvelverse. He doesn't throw fast enough? His card-charging is a lot faster than Captain America's ability to throw his shield, have it revolve back, and throw it again. What lasers? P.S. both Gambit and Captain America can dodge bullets.

Actually Gambit has charged a tree branch before. The organic thing really only seems to apply to huma flesh. Hell, he's even charged zombies before so really it's just living, human flesh.

You say it like Gambit doesn't block bullets.

You also seem to forget. Captain has his sheild....that's it. If he throws it, he will be vunerable. While could dodge the X-Mansion defenses for a bit, he won't be dodging that and the several explosions going off from Gambit.

And those scans from weren't to show Gambit's speed. You commented on his agility. I merely showed you were wrong.

True. Screw the polls. Not my point anyway. My point was that it's fairly obvious that they are held on entirely different levels.
If you look at Marvel's old score system for attributes that they used on cards then I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that Marvel has always given Gambit a 4 in agility and a 5 in fighting ability.
Captain America has a 5 in agility and a 7 in fighting ability. Ergo moot topic.

Marvel frequently gives BS stats. Gambit was given lower agility than Wolverine despite consitently showing better agility feats. He was also given a 2 in fighting ability before despite being able to hang with Daredevil and Wolverine up close. I know you're one of our newer people(no offence) so I'll explain. We don't really use Marvel ratings/stats on this board.

Marvel has a tendency to forget everyone's abilities but some people they're very clear about (i.e. Gambit, Captain America)

once again... Gambit would tire faster than Rogers... rogers could dodge bullets/lazers/explosions/buzz saws/demons/knives/other stuff all day long and it would take a LONG time to break a sweat...... I think, like a full day! Gambit would use up his energy in less than 12 hours of constantly dodging.

Strangely enough, that is what gets me a little against Captain America, Wolverine, Deathstroke,Superman, Spiderman, Thanos, Batman etc. People have too much faith in their abilities. Gambit, if anything, is underrated. Not overrated.

Actually I think Gambit does have some low level mind powers.
I believe Marvel explained that one of his mutant powers was also the ability to gain trust. Which makes about as much sense as Longshot's fabled luck and Dominoe's similar ability that you never see much from.

Cap throws his shield and breaks Gambit's neck like a twig, or collapses his adam's apple, making applesauce. Cap wins this.

The_Olympian
It's an early sunday morning and Cap is out for a morning stroll. He walks by a mansion and hears blasting! He enters the building and smells some kind of roasted meat.

He looks around and hails of blasts scream toward him. He dodges them easily to their source. He destroys most of the turrets and notices a burning pile of death on the ground.

"Gambit, is that you?"

"auuuuuuuuuuugh" says gambit.

Gambit takes action immediately! He springs forward and lifts gambit over his shoulder! carrying him and STILL dodging the bullets hailed at him.

He takes him to the hospital and waits until Gambit is Fully recovered (Twelve Weeks).

After that, he walks in to the xmansion and says "Your time has come Gambit" He THROWS HIS SHIELD AND GAMBIT IS DECAPITATED BEFORE HE COULD THINK TO EXTRACT HIS CARDS FROM THEIR BOX

I HATE YOU GAMBIT!

MrHeavySilence

You know what I meant.


There are charicters who are GREAT marksmen with bullets. And even some of THEM can't hit Cap. I think you're underestimating Caps agility as far as Dodging great marksmen goes.

As far as probability goes, Gambit has this won. He's got more projectiles (51 + everything around him), can kinetically charge if Captain tries to make this a close-range fight (which means Cap gotta stay away), and an adamantium staff to bat away the shield. Cap could win, but Gambit has the bigger chance. Cap has more speed but if he's going for a missile kick or something, all Gambit has to do is use all his speed to put his own on Cap's leg and explode it. So really, Gambit is the one thats mostly going to be on the offensive, which makes me think he'll win.

Cap has more speed but if he's going for a missile kick or something, all Gambit has to do is use all his speed to put his own on Cap's leg and explode it. So really, Gambit is the one thats mostly going to be on the offensive, which makes me think he'll win.

I doubt Gambit's number projectiles will help him win this fight. Cap's shield will absorb all of his explosions. How does Cap lose in close range combat though? Everyone here thinks Cap is some sort of idiot, he's a tactical genius. He's not gonna just throw his shield. He's gonna keep it to use it to protect himself, then he's gonna move in close and use his shield to attack. Gambit will be using his staff, but he'll have to use both hands so charging is out. So then it comes down to who'll win in a fight between Gambit and his staff vs Cap and his shield. Besides Cap being able to utilize his other hand, due to convenient leather straps, Cap's durabilty will be the deciding factor here.

Wow @ someone trying to insult New Sun who IIRC took down Dark Phoenix pretty easily. IMO Gambit should take this 6/10 with no PIS or CIS. Too much stuff around him and if Cap gets in close Gambit should be able to own him (thanks to suit charging). Oh and I always thought Gambit was a fan favorite @_@?

Gambit charges his adamantium staff, sticks Cap, blows him from the inside.

Your assuming that Gambit will be able to hit Cap with his staff. Cap has his shield remember which covers way more surface area than Gambits staff. ie. Its much easier for Cap to blow Gambit's staff than it is for him to get hit. Add that to the fact that Cap is faster and has better reflexes Gambit definitely isn't getting Cap

Why does everyone assume that Gambit can easily charge the suit. Cap has his shield, is faster and has better reflexes than Gambit. If anything its more likely that Cap takes off Gambit's head in close range combat.

B dot Rob
Cap isn't that much faster then Gambit to be unhittable and all he has to do is TOUCH him and it's over.

And I'd say they have equal reflexes if anything.

marvelprince
Its not that Gambit can't hit him, but with the shield its not gonna be easy. Besides with that logic I'd argue that Cap can get more hits on Gambit than vice versa (because of the scope of his shield) and all it would really take is one well placed shield slash.

And I know Gambit's speed and agility are greater than normal but Cap has shown mad reflexes, nothing I've seen from Gambit indicates to me that his reflexes are superior to Cap

B dot Rob
Gambit doesn't need to hit him more or less touch him. For example if Cap were to say catch a punch boom it's over and that's assuming they are fighting close range (which is the best shot Cap has).

marvelprince
I know this I'm using the fact that Cap knows Gambit's powers he won't make physical contact. Thats why I've been played up the shield, Cap uses it both offensively and defensively and will use it to both block Gambit and attack

The problem is, this isn't just Captain America vs Gambit. Captain has to keep his sheild to help against the X-Mansion defenses. The sheild also only cover a limited area. You all are acting as though Captain America's shield gives him invunerability. He can't block conitous area of effect attacks which is what Gambit will be using. Captain will be limited to defense in this battle while Gambit will be able to fight to his normal, offensive capabilities. In this battle Gambit has the advantage.

One would think it requires better reflexes to block bullets with a STAFF as opposed to a big ass SHIELD.

Really now? I think you missed the point.

Gambit can still attack (cards/missiles) without compromising his defensive capabilities. Captain would have to loose his shield to even be able to mount any offense against Gambit. Loosing the shield means he will get hit by Gambit or the defense systems.

I am going to put this thread to rest by saying anyone who actually reads comics KNOWS that cap wouldnt be hit by the cards, people here are forgetting that gambit is going to have to dodge the beams too and try to hit cap, all cap has to do is simply rush gambit, with his shield forwards and smack him. end of fight, its like juggs versus the blob., why would juggs punch him when he can simply mow him down.

First off Gambit is also being attacked so his regular offensive capabilites will be nulled too, maybe moreso since all he has to block with is a shield.

And Cap using a shield proves nothing about their reflexes. All it proves is that Cap has a shield and Gambit has a staff. It says nothing about your abilities. I could have a shield and give someone else a staff but if we both happen to be able to block a shot does that mean the person with the staff has better reflexes? Who says I can't do the same with the staff. All thats proved in the end is that I had a shield and the other person had a staff.

Besides don't you think that since Cap has a "big ass shield" he has the advantage. He has something bigger to hide behind without having to move it around much(like a staff) whereas Gambit has to keep moving his staff to block the attacks of the X-mansion. I'd say that alone puts him at a major disadvantage

Charging won't work. Gambit could simply throw cards at his feet....or just back up. If Captain rushes in with his shield in front, he is vunerable to x-mansion fire.

Gambits arsenal won't be nulled at all. He doesn't block with his cards now does he? He can still attack without doing anything differently on defense. Not to mention, he knows what to expect from the defenses being that he LIVES there. Captain America does not. Gambit will be able to focus on the battle more than Captain.

It is very reasonable to assume that a thin pole requires a bit dexterity when blocking bullets than does a shield.

The problem is, the shield doesn't guard his entire body. If he blocks one area he is vunerable. You all also forget that Gambit's projectiles....explode.

Theres no Competition here Gambit would Own Captain sure hes tough and all and that shield but Gambit could just throw some rapid card at him and Cap wouldnt evewn get CLOSE to Gambit One Gambits swifter two if the cap runs at him Gambit will just throw some Cards at him to make him back off and three if he keeps doing that Captain go BOOM!!!!!

Yeah you're right. Dodging bullets is different than dodging slower, brightly colored cards that explode upon contact.

You know people. The lasers or guns are shooting at Gambit too. Despite what you might think. This is definately going to affect his accuracy.

No. Ordinarily he could throw ten in entirely different places but now he is dodging fire from multiple turrets and trying to avoid getting in close range with Captain. I give him enough concentration to throw three at best, and frankly I don't think he would be stupid enough to try to push the envelope there. Despite his cockiness he's actually very concentrated in a fight and is probably trying just as hard as Cap to dodge everything.

You see dodging and blocking comes as second nature to Cap. He was in WWII for crying out loud. Gambit has been in the X-men and his best dodging experiences have been there.

The_Olympian
This is ridiculous. No matter how many cards gambit throws, Cap will either Evade or block with his shield! It's so stupid that we're even debating this still.

Gambit is Nothing compared to captain america.

And even IF Gambit continues to somehow evade X-mansion security, 52 cards and he's out. if he continues to blindly throw cards, they will be out faster than he can say "moni mi" and cap will bum rush him.

Stop argueing, admit defeat.

A thief? Really? Wow! I didn't know that. He must be super cool then.

I've never refuted the fact that he's got agility. He does not have better agility than Captain but I'm not going to say who has better agility here. There appears to be a major disaggreament on the issue. No point in tapping into that. Thieves are sneaky, crafty, and ingenuitive. Definately, but Cap's a super soldier. He's been a spy in war-time situations. So Cap's sneaky, tactful, and more resilient than Gambit will be for a long time. He's more experienced than Gambit and smarter.

Don't argue that. A guy doesn't end up being leader of the Avengers due to his incredible skills at weaving baskets. I've read a lot of Gambit's stuff. He's not dumb, he's just not as smart.

The_Olympian
Let me ask you this, deadpool.

If Gambit were in WWII, do you really think that he would survive? EVER?? No, he wouldn't! He'd Buckle under the god damn pressure.

Gambit DOES NOT have what it takes to fight in ANY war Situation with anyone that's MORE than human...

Captain America is an Idol and would PROBABLY make Gambit Pee in his pants before handing him his own ***... Period.

For one, you know(benefit of the doubt here again), Gambit throws faster than any human exluding people like Bullseye. He has covered fifty feet with 3 cards and hit a 1/2 MILLIMETER target AND a person faster than thought. His cards will be flying far faster than any grenade Captain encountered. Let's also not forget that WWII was nearly 70 years ago.... Gambit also produces larger explosion than grenades if he wants to.
