Gambit is a mutant with the ability to convert the potential energy stored in an inanimate object into pure light kinetic energy, thus “charging” that item with highly explosive results. He prefers to charge smaller objects, such as his ever-present playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for him to throw. The only real limitation to this ability is the time required to charge the object: the larger it is the more time it takes to charge. Most charging takes place through direct skin contact.Gambit also possesses an unusually strong and irresistible hypnotic charm that allows him to exert a subtle influence over sentient beings, leading them to believe what he says and agree with his suggestions. This charm is so strong and powerful that if given a chance, Gambit could even charm the Shadow King himself.[1] The hypnotic charm does not work on those who know about it.[69]
^ From Gambit's Wikipedia entry, which helps to explain his reputation as a ladies' man among comic fans.
Really thinking about it though, how do you have charm as an actual super power and still let Cyclops out-mack you?
Even Longshot was with Rogue first before Remy
You think Longshot would have gone full Ray J on Gambit by this point
With that Gangstalicious pink bulletproof vest
...but at least he wasn't on that with Kitty Pryde like Colossus
Or getting down with his half-sister like Nightcrawler
