gambit:
1.An opening in chess in which a minor piece, or pieces, usually a pawn, is offered in exchange for a favorable position.
2. A maneuver, stratagem, or ploy, especially one used at an initial stage.
3. A remark intended to open a conversation.
but in Xmen, he's the mutant that uses carddecks and throws them ... don't really know what they do exactly though
he's seen briefly somewhere at a gambling table I believe
Gambit is the sexiest of all x-men 😄 and has great cajun accent
originally he is a pair of rogue, his powers are, as said earlier blowing up stuff, usually cards, but it can be anything, and doing some charm with his eyes...
and the name was taken from chess orginally.
i even read part of chess 'how-to' to lear what was a gambit 😮
