GAMBIT

Due to some shipping irregularities with that year's annuals, Gambit's first published appearance was in the last chapter of Days of Future Present instead of his intended first appearance, Uncanny X-Men (1st series) #266.

Gambit became Death in X-Men (2nd series) #184. Death I is the embodiment of death, Death II belonged to a set of Horsemen that battled the Fantastic Four.

Gambit's powers are constantly operating on low levels thanks to brain surgery by Sinister. At enhanced capacity, Gambit generates a constant field of passive energy that he can expand outwards to charge any form of matter within his field of vision. He could control kinetic energy to a better degree in this state, generating far more explosive power than usual or simply incinerating his target. Using his increased powers generated an augmented level of bio-kinetic energy within his body as well, heightening his strength, agility, and reflexes to a certain extent. This extended over the period of Gambit (3rd series) #15-24.

As Death, Remy could produce a transmutator effect to change air into a noxious and lethal gas. He possessed this power between X-Men (2nd series) #185 and 200.

Gambit's real name was revealed in X-Men (2nd series) #8.
