Rogue should hook up with Iceman??.........

But we don't HATE the Bobster that much.

That, and we don't want to break Sam's heart.

 

[squeekness]

*begins singing....*

Bobby and Sam sittin' in a tree
K..I..S..S..I..N..G

 

[The Englishman]

ARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! He's not gay!!!!!....

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Bicurious, then.

Whatever.

 

[Canemacar]

ARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! He's not gay!!!!!....

Yeah! It's not like he used to date a gender-swapping cosmic entity or anything!

 

[The Infernal]

Maybe he asked Mystique to try on a bit of roleplaying as Sam when they were bumping uglies.

 

[Neptune]

Hahah and Mystique can turn into anyone too. Family guy made a joke about Iceman being gay too.

Really? Which EP?? So have to check that out. t:

 

[Havok83]

I could go for that. I loved the idea of them when they first tested it back in the mid 90s

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Yeah, but that was before they threw in the Mystique variable, lol.

It's gotta make things awkward, no?

Still better than romy, you have to admit.

 

[iamlegend]

Still better than romy, you have to admit.

So are we going to call it Robby then? Or maybe Riceman? t:

Regardless, it'd be fun to watch someone else's favorite character be destroyed by the character black hole that is Rogue.

 

[Neptune]

Really? Which EP?? So have to check that out. t:

Episode 3 of season 6.

 

[The Infernal]

All joking aside I'm a die hard Rogue/Remy fan. I can't see them with anyone else. Though saying that, I wouldn't mind seeing them take a break for a while, but not necessarily apart from each other either.

Yes erm.... actually you have made a great point, no Bobby and Rogue, give her to Wolverine...t:

 

[DJSCARLET]

Wolverine huh? you know that in the end someone is going to be in a body bag in that relationship.
as for iceman...after the whole mystique tryst, that relationship is gonna be fffiiilllleeeddd with jerry springer worthy drama.
i always wondered since x-men evolution, what if they had hooked up rogue with cyclops in the comics?

 

[Canemacar]

Wolverine huh? you know that in the end someone is going to be in a body bag in that relationship.

Really? Suddenly, I strongly support a Logan/Rogue romance.

 

[squeekness]

LOL, so long as it's Rogue in the bodybag anyhow....

 

[K4tzm4n]

I really wish Gambit was a Skrull...That way they could redo him Never gonna happen though.

 

[squeekness]

I thought the Skrulls were killing off the ones they copied. I don't want Gambit to be deaded.

 

[K4tzm4n]

As in they're currently attempting to kill or were killed? If so, Gambit can hold his own ...Maybe.

 

[Canemacar]

I thought the Skrulls were killing off the ones they copied. I don't want Gambit to be deaded.

Milligan through Carey was a skrull. Antarctica through Austen was the Gambit-clone that the skrull replaced.

 

[DJSCARLET]

gambit 616 is the only living gambit right now (new exiles gambit DOES NOT count!) so i really dont want him to be a skrull. rather him be alive so they can just revamp him.
if you had a chance how would you revamp him?

 

[Canemacar]

if you had a chance how would you revamp him?

My first act would be to distance him from Rogue. I have a few different ideas about how; ranging from "been a clone since Antarctica" to "finally tells her to f*** off". Either way, I'd set Rogue up with a new beau and try to consolidate that romance (and Gambit's lack of further interest in Rogue) to help prevent a relapse of Romy.

Next I'd clean-up and revamp his origin story via a mini like they did a few years ago with Wolverine. Basically, he was abandoned by superstitious parents because of his red eyes and grew up an orphan on the streets until he was taken in by one of the two largest streetgangs of the city: The Thieves and Assassin's.

I'd also try and give him the edge he's been missing for well over a decade. No more groveling or lap-dogging: my Gambit would be a pragmatic, manipulative sonnova b****. One of his defining features is was that he was practical to a fault and always working an angle. That needs to come back.

Costume-wise, I'd do a complete re-design, keeping only the trenchcoat. Nothing flashy; it would be the sort of thing that would blend in nearly anywhere.

I'd also bring some focus to the often neglected part of the character: his personality! Not adding anything new , just bringing whats already there to light:

-low sense of self-worth
-slightly paranoid
-fear of intimacy
-mild kleptomania
-found religion, to an extent, after the Massacre
-loyal only to family
-strong desire to belong hidden by a faux loner personna

Pretty much what you'd expect from someone abandoned early on in life.

No offense (ever) meant, but that'd be the stupidest ****ing retcon.
And if that's a viable plan in your eyes, then I'm glad you don't write comics.

You assume Marvel would print a mini dedicated to "solving the mystery" of the origin of a second-tier, at best, character.
Don't get me wrong. I <3 Gambit, but he is and has been, at best, second-tier.

Sound.

Sound, more or less. I'd argue or ask about some, but eh.
