Quote: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.
The funny thing is, this also describes Wolverine. He's a guy with claws and an attitude that goes berserk and cuts people up. Superficially, Gambit and Wolverine are both just "aesthetic value" characters.
Oh, and the Cannonball Special is (was?) a Colossus/Wolverine signature move: Colossus would pick up Wolvie and hurl him at a clump of badguys. Extreme gutting action would follow. As much as I want to see this, if they keep the same actor for Colossus, I don't thik they can do it (he doesn't look large/strong enough to hurl Jackman).
There was a mutant called Cannonball (in X-Factor? Whichever team Cable ran); he could fly, and generated a sort of "friction barrier" around himself when in flight, so he could "canoball" right through things.
