Comics character
Gambit (Remy Étienne LeBeau) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. The character was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Jim Lee. Drawn by artist Mike Collins, Gambit made his first appearances in The Uncanny X-Men Annual #14 (July 1990) and The Uncanny X-Men #266 (August 1990).[1] Belonging to a subspecies of humans called mutants, Gambit can mentally create, control, and manipulate pure kinetic energy. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in card throwing, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of a bō. Gambit is known to charge playing cards and other objects with kinetic energy, using them as explosive projectiles.

Age: 23
Occupation: Former professional thief
Mutant Abilities: Able to turn potential energy from inorganic matter into kinetic energy, causing them to explode with varying intensities that he is able to control. Ability also cause his eyes to appear red and black.
History: Remy Lebeau’s life is wrought with various complications. He is an orphan and there are no reliable records as to who his birth parents are. The earliest insight into Remy’s life are the adoption papers that were signed by Jean-Luc and Marianne Lebeau, who took him in when he was less than a year old.
It’s not clear how the Lebeaus came to adopt him or why. The official reason is that Marianne Lebeau became infertile and wanted another child. There may be more reasons, but little has come to light. Whatever the case, the Lebeaus raised Remy Lebeau. He had a brother, Henri Lebeau, and two cousins, Theoran and Etienne, who he spent much of his childhood with. Since he was adopted, he was an outsider. This led him to grow closer to his foster mother, Marianne.

History[]
Thieves Guild[]
Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the mutant child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves Guild who referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil. They believed he was the child that had been prophesied to unite the warring Guilds of New Orleans. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery. Later, when he was around ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then-patriarch of the Thieves' Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy off the streets and adopted him as his own son.
