Mr. & Mrs. X: The Gambit and Rogue Appreciation 2024

[AppleJ]

Welcome to the Rogue and Gambit Appreciation Thread for 2024!

If you're a fan of BOTH of these characters, you've landed in the right place! Join us here to show your love for them, both as individuals and as a pairing, and to discuss this popular X-Couple.

Please respect that this is an APPRECIATION thread and follow the site rules.

In this thread we love both Gambit and Rogue - faults, flaws and all! And we enjoy and want them as a couple together. Character attacks on either of them or on the pairing are not welcome here and will be reported.

Recent History:
Rogue (Anna Marie) and Gambit (Remy LeBeau) married in X-Men: Gold #30 in 2018 when Gambit proposed to Rogue on-the-spot at the reception of Kitty and Colossus's failed wedding, effectively stealing a wedding in a surprise twist that made actual news headlines. This came on the heels of their highly praised miniseries Rogue and Gambit (vol. 1, 2018), where the couple reunited after several years apart. Their adventures as a married couple were then explored in the exceptional series that followed, Mr. and Mrs. X in 2018-2019.

During the Krakoan era, Gambit and Rogue spent a few years on the Excalibur team book. Rogue eventually moved to the relaunched X-Men title team in 2021-2022 for a year stint with a few bigger moments while Gambit remained on the relaunched Excalibur mini, Knights of X. They both had an integral role and great appearances in the Revenge of the Brood arc of Captain Marvel (#43-49). There were also some retrospective adventures with X-Treme X-Men vol 2 and a Gambit solo, both by Claremont. A new Rogue and Gambit mini (vol 2) debuted in 2023, sadly to mixed reception. However the Love Unlimited: Rogue and Gambit run #61-66 (2023) web comic was a much needed hidden gem you shouldn't miss. As we wound this era down in the Fall of X, Gambit had a great showing in Dark X-Men (2023) and Rogue had some excellent cameos. Meanwhile, Rogue reprised her role on the reformed Uncanny Avengers team book (2023) and had at least one big hero moment.

As we start 2024, our couple find themselves back on the same team in Fall of the House of X. They're also set to appear in the X-Men'97 prequel comic in March 2024. And who knows where they will emerge in the next X-Men era, From the Ashes, in July 2024?

Join us here to discuss as it all unfolds!

It would be great of they end up on the same team this year an co-lead it. Would that not be marvelous?

Bonne année y'all. I am cautiously optimistic for this year.
Let's hope there's some good Romy moments in X-Men '97 and that our man keeps his third-person nonsense to a minimum--I'd like it to be at zero but we all know that won't happen.

That would be amazing! I think their dynamic as co-leaders would be a lot of fun
