I hear what youre saying xmarks. I believe him blowing up DD's suit has ben mentioned in the past. My rebuttle against that is that Gambit wouldnt be immune to the explosion from which he creates. Thus he would defeat Daredevil and himself as well.If they were to get into close quarter combat, i dont think Gambit's fighting skills would enable him to even grab DD to charge his suit. Its my opinion that DD's fighting prowess is much superior than Remy's. I do agree with you that DD's long range atacks are limited and thats just the reason why i believe that hed close the gap oif range between the two. Much like he does when fighting Bullseye, Punisher or anyone else with ranged weapons and such.

I understand that. Say he does grab DD and charge him(which i highly doubt), im pretty sure DD knows Gambit has just charged him. I dont think hed let Gambit get away from him to avoid being caught in his own chargge blast. Gambit just wouldnt be fast enough to charge DD then get within rage to where he wouldnt be effected. Its not like once DD is charged he wouldnt be able to move.
Everyone also seems to forget that Gambit and Daredevil stalemated already, and Gambit DIDN'T use his powers. Gambit has enough hand-to hand skills to hold off Daredevil for a bit. Throw in his powers and ranged options, and Gambit takes a majority. It won't be a huge massacre, but Gambit would win.
It keeps being mentioned that Gambit never charged anything to throw while fighting DD. Thats true, however nobody is mentioning that Daredevil didnt once try to use his martial arts skills on Gambit. All his attacks and blocks were via billy club.
StyleTime, i dont doubt that Gambit can delay the explosions on his charges, but like i stated before even if hes able to charge DD's outfit or part of it, hes not fast enough to evade DD to detonate it without doing harm to himself. You stated that Gambit has only been hurt by his explsion 1 time but i think it may be more that that. I heard that he once accidentally killed himself via one of his explosions. Im not sure how true that is, but its what i heard. However in the same comic where he and DD battled, he was slightly hurt by one of his exploding cards. After it exploded and he and DD hit the deck he stated...."So thats what that feels like."

Well, take it up with Marvel then. It DID happen. Read the issue if you don't believe me.

Like I said, with the delayed charges all Gambit has to do is wait until he CAN move out of the way. He can also just do small charges that will hurt Daredevil without actually damaging both of them. Yes you're right, in that comic Gambit says that, but I didn't see any effects of the damage on Gambit. Even including that though, it's extremely rare for Gambit to get hurt by his explosions. I've seen him literally in grappling range of people and charging articles of clothing/etc without being hurt. Aside from Daredevil giving Gambit a big hug, I don't how he could get Gambit any closer to the explosion than Gambit has been before and not been hurt.
Peejayd, yes Daredevil is obviously a better hand to hand combatant than Gambit is. However, for small amounts of time, Gambit's fighting skills and physical attributes allow him to go man to man against Daredevil without getting the crap kicked out of him. Of course, if the fight dragged on and Gambit stayed with hand-to-hand, he'd lose.

Frankly I loathe Gambit. But I'm seeing him take the slight majority if CIS is off. If it's on I'd say DD.Gambit's agility is enhanced by his powers, and he's relatively well versed in fighting. Daredevil's long range attacks are limited, and Gambit has shown he can deflect bullets with his bo staff at close range.
If they're up close, it doesn't take much for Gambit to simply charge DD's costume and blow him up.
you don't like Gambit. never heard you "say" that before...minus the first 300 times you said it. 🙄
