Just a question. Was it ever confirmed that Gambit was the witness? I remember it being rather ambiguous.
They were going back and forth on it for a while, but from Marvel.com:
n an alternate future over 70 years from now in which the X-Man Bishop was born, Remy had become an aged figure named the Witness, so-called because he had apparently witnessed the betrayal of the X-Men by one of their own members. He was also thought to be the last survivor of the X-Men. Upon joining the X-Men himself, Bishop suspected Remy to be the traitor until realised that Xavier's mind and Magneto's mind spawned the corrupt psionic entity known as Onslaught.
so..yeah. If you look at the issue where bishop joins the xmen for the first time, it's also the first time Gambit's name was ever revealed. It was spoken by Bishop and immediately acknowledged by Gambit, Because Bish recognized him.
