But, I'm biased. I always thought he was cool. :DHe was cool for all of 5 minutes . . . :unsure: . . . well, a few isues anyway. I still have his first appearance tucked away somewhere and he was interesting to begin with, but dark and mysterious only goes so far before it's persistance gets silly. I got sick of him pretty quickly after those first few issues.
I sincerely hope the movies never show him, simply because the inclusion of a character who adds nothing but aesthetic value as percieved by the craving masses is adding nothing to the character interaction and won't really further the plot. Looks alone won't cut it. When I imagine Gambit in an X-Men sequel I imagine something like having Yoda in Star Wars with only the spinning lightsaber tactics and no zen commentry --> Flashy with no substance.
