Gambit VS Captain America

In an enclosed area it's about 50/50, but I might give a slight edge to Gambit because he has more projectiles, which explode on impact, and he could get Cap off balance and away from his shield by doing so, but if Cap gets in close he has better H2h and Gambit has his staff fighting skills, so it's a good match. Enhanced athleticism is part of Gambit's mutation as well, so he can keep up in the agility department somewhat with Cap. He packs 52-55 grenades on him (if you count the 2 Jokers and the Game Suggestions Card that comes in the box). I remember reading a comic where Gambit charged some thug's teeth in his mouth and blew his head off (I think it was an Ultimate Xmen Book that I read online, I can't remember fully).

In an empty city street I'd take Gambit because he has more things that he can weaponize like debris, trash cans, soda cans, bottles, rocks, manhole covers, cars, his cards, buildings, etc. Gambit just has more offensive versatility.

Enclosed Area: 5/10 for both.
Empty Street: Gambit 7/10, possibly 8 if they are in a really rundown part of a city with a lot of trash and bricks and random objects laying around for him to weaponize. Fighting Gambit at a junkyard would completely suck.

Gambit is one of those characters that can do alot, but he never really gets wrote to be the contender he really is. Kinda like the anti-wolverine. In a featureless enviroment, Cap can whip'em, in a city scape, Gambit can get a few wins, but I still would say it would mostly go to Cap, just because of experience and things.

A good question is posed though. Gambit charges objects, and they explode. What would happen if he charged an adamantium object, which cannot break. Would it explode? Would it take him a long time to charge? Would there be an energy explosion, but the object remain? What would happen?

There would be an energy explosion but the object would remain intact.

gambit cab tamper with the intermolecular forces of objects, n thas supposed to be the only way to destry adamantium or vibranium, he can also charge ANYTHIN ELSE, people, costumes, entire train carriages etc, i dont think cap can win this, on top of all that gambit can also use his energy manipulation technique and charge his body for superhuman agility, reflexes, strength, speed etc, and lets not forget his hypnotic charm which he can use to freaze or daze opponents.

I forgot about the charging his own body technique.

It was in X-Men Legends too.

And Cap is straighter than an arrow, I doubt the "charm" trick would work....but it'd be funny if it did! 😆

Caps shield is an Adamantium/Vibranium mixture.
There ain't a damn thing Gumbo can do to the shield.
Except maybe add a little tobasco and cajun seasoning to it....
.....cause he IS eating that shield......may as well make it tasty before nite-nite.....

It would be kinda of awkward if Gambit "charmed" Cap into submission, wouldn't it?

I agree completely with Draco that the shield would indeed explode, but still remain afterwards. So, Cap hits Gambit with shield, Gambit only touches it for a second, then it explodes in Cap's hand. Probably taking a limb with it.

Gambit has too much offensive wise, and has MUCH better acurracy than those henchmen that Cap faces. And even in hand-to-hand, Gambit would easily make Cap work for it, with his incredible staff-wielding skills.

I give it to Gambit in both places. Featureless environment: 7/10. City: 8-9/10.

😂

God that sounds so wrong!!!! 😂

Remember when Gambit charged a pie and threw it at Bishop, and it hit Rogue, and she got mad? hilarious. This should have been Cap vs Gambit at a county fair bake-off.

Even Thor respects the shield. I doubt Remy has anything on it. I agree that there will be an explosion, only i bet it is Gambit's hand that explodes. With no where to go i fig. it would return to sender.
La qution is is Gambit slicker than the Captain. Can he nail him with a card and is there anyway possible for him to avoid being tagged by the shield.
Cap wins and in short order i bet.
Gambit is still wet behind the ears. spent his life as a thief.
Why is Cap so f-in great. Cause should America fall, the Captain will still be standing.

If 616 Gambit is such a bastard like the Ultimate one, Cap may be in trouble.
Ultimate Gambit said that he could charge Logan's skeleton, tough it will not explode, the flesh and bones will be ripped apart.
He stucked in Logan's mouth a piece of his staff and knocked him unconscious, ripping a part of his face away.

I also give it to Gambit in both places. Featureless environment- 8/10. City- 9/10

Also, if they do get in close h2h fighting, Gambit could charge up cap's uniform. Assuming he could survive the explositon fight naked has to be a real disadvantage
