Thats some wild shyt.

Thought Gambit always laid his game down quite flat


Gambit's marriage he kept secret. may have caused trust issue with rogue.
Right when he first made his initial moves on rogue.
So gambit makes a move on rogue.

Then his estranged wife shows up like pages later.
if i remember right. It was during the brood possess ghostrider early lee run of xmen books. I wanna say xmen issue 7 or 8 maybe.

It may have been maybe a three issue gap. From when gambit makes an initial move on rogue.

Then the marauder affiliation they wrote into play. When it never needed to be part of his origin. Except his origin was written by hacks after the lee era.

It was a quick pace but Sinister is coming up and obviously they want to push this Jean/Maddie drama. Might psychologically crush Cyclops.


Good send his ass off.
He was not an xmen for eighty issues.
Till storm saved the series every time. Then storm kept uncanny leadership. Yet the flagship became xmen 1 because Jim lee migrated over to xmen from uncanny.
whereas while portico took over uncanny. Which at the time. Uncanny was the best read between the two. It just so happened it was Jim Lee's time. Where Jim lee just lapped whilce. When previously they were tied.
for hottest ever in thr era.

All those early Jim lee issues.
Whilce was on fye.
Plus produced the goat storm close up cover there as well.

Along with a lot of storm covers. that are next level. Considering the Windsor Smith era storm covers.

I love when people get amped up about the Maddie situation...lol
Still, you don't just up and leave your wife and child because your former ex-flame reemerges, regardless of feelings. And yeah he tried to contact Maddie... weeks later lol. Cyclops has grown as a character since then, but I don't care how anybody tries to spin it, he was punk for that and not a man.

Well yeah...the Storm led X Men was when the team became a phenomenon worldwide. Chris Claremont was on FIRE in the 80s...Mutant Massacre, Inferno, Sinister, Magneto's backstory and face turn, Hellfire Club, Dark Phoenix Saga, etc.
