Code Name: Gambit Real Name: Remy LeBeau Mutant Power(s): Ability to charge objects with kinetic energy. Biography: As the adopted son of the leader of the Thieves' Guild of New Orleans, Gambit is a thief. When Remy was forced to marry his lover Belladonna to keep the peace between the Theives' Guild and her family's Assassins' Guild, her brother Julien challenged him and was killed. As a result, Gambit left New Orleans and apparently ended up in Seattle, where he did some work for Sinister. At this point in time, Gambit's powers were flaring out of control. So, Sinister performed an operation that lowered them to normal levels. His last job was to assemble a group of operatives and help them to infiltrate a secret, closed community. These operatives later became the Marauders, who were let into the Morlock tunnels. In the Morlock tunnels, the Marauders commenced the slaughter known as the Mutant Massacre. Gambit tried to stop them, and was almost gutted by Sabretooth. He did manage to save a little girl named Sarah, who would one day grow up to be Marrow. Much later, Gambit joined the X-Men. Possible Purpose in Exiles: The wrinkle in time Gambit must correct is that he never left the Thieves' Guild. When he reached the point when his powers were flaring out of control, Sinister wasn't there to perform the operation that would lower his powers to normal levels. Gambit would accidently harm the Theives' Guild and Assassins' Guild greatly starting another war between the families.
