X-Men Monday #204 – X Me Anything With Jordan D. White
AIPT: I want to see the story where Gambit one day is like, “Everyone, my eyesight’s gotten bad and I need to start wearing glasses.” And that’s it, it’s just explored in the comic.
Jordan: That’s kind of hilarious.
oh nooo
AIPT: Finally, more fun than having stories spoiled before you can read them — this question! X-Fan Bambi asked, similar to Nightcrawler taking on the mantle of the Uncanny Spider-Man, what other X-Men character would you want to see in the role of a greater Marvel superhero?
Jordan: That’s an interesting one. Hey, I remember back when Black Panther took over as the Man Without Fear, defending, Hell’s Kitchen for Daredevil. They ran a little campaign asking who it was going to be, and one of them was Gambit. And the idea of Gambit as Daredevil was such a fun idea.
I like Gambit and I think Gambit is a character who could use more of a fun spotlight — a solo book. He’s had solo books in the past for sure. I feel like I would like to read another one. Him as Daredevil would be kind of ridiculous, but also kind of great. Especially because Matt is very morally complicated, but he has his religion angle, but then the law angle. Whereas Gambit is almost like morally flippant in a way. Matt takes it all so seriously and Remy does the opposite. That could be really fun.
AIPT: Would Gambit have the hair popping out of the Daredevil mask?
Jordan: You just cut the top off at the hair level, so he’s got horns poking out of his hair. That’s pretty fun.
