LMAO, i always say its a friggin mullet but everyone tries to deny it, i mean its short on top and long in the back...M-U-L-L-E-T
i understand why they did away with that in ultimate xmen heheh
so if his bones are hollow, are they easier to break or is there some way to counter that........then again he's lucky so i guess that would be the counter lol
Keep in mind that the Longshot / Rogue relationship was before Gambit joined the team.
Now, from what I understand, Dazzler and Rogue were in direct and rather heated competition over Longshot for a little while there. Longshot admitted to loving both of them: "Can't there be room in my hearts for more than a single person?" (UXM #241) which just made their little war that much more intense. After Rogue got sucked into the Seige Perilous, Longshot departed to find his memories, and Dazzler soon followed. Since Gambit and Rogue are the fan favorite couple and Longshot supposedly married Dazzler on Mojoworld, it's doubtful we'll ever see a rekindled relationship between the two.
Other Longshot relationship trivia: Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) had a crush on him, as did Rita Ricochet, who would go on to become his worst enemy Spiral. Talk about your love / hate relationships!
No problem. I'll definetely admit that Gambit and Rogue make the better couple. It's just unfair that Longshot got stuck with Dazzler (I'm not a big Dazzler fan), to say nothing of the pregnancy retcon and the Mojoverse being destroyed completely - by X-Baby versions of Apocalypse, Sugar Man, Dark Beast, and Holocaust. That's up there with the farce that is Queen Jean on the absurd-o-meter.
Ah well, Marvel still has time to fix their mistakes, and at least Longshot and Dazzler are separated - that is, if they even married at all.
I'm not really going for most of Ultimates Longshot. Many have complained about his hair, but I found it rather distinctive as opposed to this uninspired hairstyle. The boots are awkward at best, and the whole outfit can't hold a candle to his original outfit. Where does he keep his knives now?
On a related note, note that the 'lucky eye' has switched eyes: in every shot of Longshot I've seen, his right eye was the eye that glowed whenever he used his luck power. Now it's the left. Odd that they chose to leave the 'glowing eye' gimmick at all, since at this point it's been done to death. (Cable, Nate Grey)
