I tend to believe Gambit would win the majority, and that AVX fight was a PIS mess. In terms of power set, Gambit is a highly underrated monster.However, if we accept the AVX feat as valid, that Cap can flat out tank Gambit charging his costume, then I don't see what Gambit has that can put him down in a forum fight.
Cap 6 or 7/10.

i think the fight was actually really good and played out pretty much how i'd have thought. gambit could have killed him by charging the suit more, but of course in character he never would. there's also the fact he may not have had the chance had cap given him his undivided attention from the start.... figured it for a close fight, and it was. i'm not disappointed in that at all, nor do i see the jobbing that has been mentioned. one need not have jobbed to have lost to cap....

I'd call that jobbing.
Originally posted by CosmicCometI don't know for sure. Considering a single super thin playing card typically makes explosions that large, I'm willing to think that an entire suit of scale mail would make one much larger. He killed the Tithe Collector (superhuman) when he charged his raincoat. So it can be lethal.
How big would the explosion have been if he fully charged it?

Daken's durability sucks though and Daken himself too.
that was just the wrapping on his arm. what do you think metal scales would be like and you cant say the same for the Tithe Collectors durability b/c he is superhuman in the Gambit mini.. He was able to shrug off Gambit's best attacks and treat Gambit like a nuisance.
facts are Cap took a blast from gambit and it is what it is, captain america always presents insane damage soak and durability so i dont see the problem here, i bet a guy with same durability as cap would be knocked out however cap aside of having freakish durability and damage soak has also insane level of fighting spirit and will power and thats basically what makes him keep going when even he himself shouldnt be able to, and its not PIS if its presented time after time after time.
and even if gambit would be able to take cap with a blast we take into calcualtion the fact cap wasnt even serious at first, however as you saw when cap got serious he basically blocked everything gambit had to offer with his shield and one shotted the guy.
