Fan Casting Gambit in Marvel animated comic show

Remy LeBeau, better known as the charming thief Gambit, is a mutant with the ability to charge inanimate objects with energy that results in massive explosions, usually deploying playing cards as portable bombing devices. Raised by the Thieves Guild, Gambit's dark path led him to become a secret agent for the vile Mister Sinister. After befriending fellow mutant thief Storm, he was invited to join the X-Men, and had the opportunity to redeem himself. Although the roguish and secretive Gambit often disagreed with the X-Men's sense of morality, his soft spot for abandoned kids caused him to integrate well into the team while getting close to many of its members.
