Biography[]
Life in the Void[]
Remy LeBeau resided in the Void as a kinetic energy manipulative mutant dubbed Gambit, with no knowledge of his prior life. While in the Void, Gambit affiliated himself with the Resistance, a group of heroes that opposed the rule of oppressive omega-level mutant Cassandra Nova and her henchmen. Gambit took residence at the Resistance's hideout, where he amassed a collection of liquor. Gambit later fought alongside the Resistance members in battle against Nova and her forces, and witnessed the deaths of Quicksilver, Punisher, Daredevil and Magneto.[1]
Meeting Deadpool[]
- "They call me the Gambit."
"Do they? You sure you didn't just really, really want them to, but it never quite worked out?" - ―Gambit and Deadpool[src]

Gambit and the other resistance members met Deadpool and Wolverine, who did the impossible and escaped Nova's lair alive. They also learned that fellow Resistance member Human Torch was killed by Cassandra, but Deadpool left out the reason why he died. Eventually, Deadpool convinced him and the others to invade Cassandra Nova's Lair to avenge Storm's death and take her down using Juggernaut's helmet to block her powers. However, Wolverine scoffed that their plan was doomed to fail and refused to join them.[1]

- "You know how long I been waiting for this? Whoo, I'm aboutta make a name for myself here."
- ―Gambit[src]
Gambit traveled in Nicepool's Honda Odyssey, Ol' Betsy with the Resistance to finally invade Cassandra's fortress. Blade used Punisher's AT4 Rocket Launcher to break into their base and them held off Nova's forces, as Deadpool and Wolverine went off to confront her while X-23 secured the helmet. Later in the battle as Alioth approached the compound, Gambit witnessed Deadpool and Wolverine jump into a Inter-Dimensional Portal created by Cassandra who gave the duo a way home after they saved her life from Pyro.
Following the battle, Gambit walked around, passing the bodies of Psylocke and Toad, and soaked in the aftermath of the battle. He then looked up into the sky and saw an Inter-Dimensional Portal open up.[1][3]
