Is Gambit Marvel’s Most Misunderstood Mutant or Is He Just Overrated?

Gambit, a character introduced by renowned X-Men author Chris Claremont, drew upon elements of the enigmatic Wolverine’s persona. Gaining widespread acclaim through his appearances in notable ’90s X-Men narratives, even those unfamiliar with comic books fell for him due to the animated series, X-Men: The Animated Series. Since then, Gambit’s popularity has fluctuated, and opinions on him remain divided. Some critics argue that he is overrated, but is there more to his reception than just that?
