Remy LeBeau is a mutant from New Orleans who was trained to be the leader of the Thieves Guild. Banished from his clan, he eventually joined the X-Men under the codename Gambit, becoming a valuable member of the team. Remy soon fell in love with his fellow X-Men, Rogue, with mutual feelings. Gambit has the ability to charge objects with explosive kinetic energy that his body produces from non-organic matter. He typically does this with playing cards, as he can easily store and throw them. With his extendable metal Bo staff, he uses a combination of Savate and Bōjutsu fighting techniques. He can also kinetically charge the staff to add more power to it. Abducted in the past, the mutant only known as Logan had his memory erased by an unknown organization. With no memory of his past, his bones were coated with the indestructible metal Adamantium. Logan was trained to be lethal, as Weapon X. After escaping from the facility where he was imprisoned, he was taken in by Heather Hudson and her husband James, members of Alpha Flight, a government-sanctioned group considered the Canadian equivalent of the Avengers. After helping him deal with his lost past, Logan joined Alpha Flight. Feeling that the Canadians were using him as a weapon, he accepted Professor Charles Xavier’s offer to leave and join the X-Men, a group of peacekeeping mutant soldiers fighting for mutant rights. Wolverine possesses heightened senses and accelerated healing abilities, as well as an Adamantium skeleton and implanted claws. Because of this, Wolverine appears much younger than he actually is. His exact age is unknown, but he fought in World War II and appears to be the same age today. This also makes him immune to diseases, drugs, and toxins.
Exploring the Gambit & Wolverine statue:
Running across an arid terrain made of rocks, gravel, and pebbles, the relentless Canadian mutant hero with indestructible metal bones advances with outstretched arms and unsheathed claws against a threat, slicing the air with kinetic energy from his sharp blades. Leaning on his back, the famous explosive card player, holding his retractable Bōjutsu combat staff in his left hand, positions his body forward, ready to leap into combat.
