Deadpool versus Gambit

[bbbearcounty]

So, with all the Batman versus ... battles these days
I figured that a lot of us could use a new match up. Well, here's
the merc with a mouth taking on the ragin' cajun. Place your votes!!

Gambit. He'll talk his way into Deadpool's heart, all while chargin some inanimate objects for Deadpool's demise.

[Logan]

i said gambit.although i truly despise the way the character has been handled for many years, this guy is just a superb fighter and at one point made shit go ka-blooey just by looking at it.

as a character? i dig dead pool more, he's nuts.

[theycallmemisterbob]

Whats this? A match-up that doesn't involve Batman? I'm confused...

I'll vote Gambit- but I need a refresher. What the hell IS his mutant power anyway? Obviously, I only know him from the cartoon.

[Logan]

the last i knew he turns somethings potential energy into kinetic. in magical marvel land this means stuff blows up. the bigger something is or the longer he charges it the bigger the bang.

[bbbearcounty]

Although I truly despise the way the character has been handled for many years...

Agreed. They've really turned his character into quite the
emotional mess. It's all no thanks to Rogue. She really pulls
his character down. Does anybody remember when Fabian
Nicieza (he writes Cable/Deadpool now) wrote him in the
Gambit ongoing series. Pretty damn good series.


What the hell IS his mutant power anyway?

"Convert an object's stored potential energy into explosive
kinetic energy upon contact, hypnotic charm causing others
to trust whatever he says, extendable bo staff..." ~UncannyXMen.net

[Logan]

i didn't know he had hypnosis. weird. but i guess he is a mutant and who the hell knows what power you'd get. it's all pretty random.

[Huerta]

Deadpool hands down. better fighter and healing factor.

[nevermore]

First off Deadpool is the better fighter by leaps and bounds.

Second off, there is NOTHING gambit could do that would injure Wade for long.

"shit... I liked that arm... oh well"

[thEbrEEze]

well gambit could blow him up to bits and pieces, steal his wallent, then run away like only the ragin cajun can. I'm with Gambit! Did you see the Uncanny X-men issue where his hands are bound so he couldn't touch anythng. But he had some gum in his mouth, he charged that up and spat it at the villian, i for get who it was, and it explodes in the dude's face. that was awesome.

[nevermore]

so after Deadpool regens and hunts him down again... besides after gambit charges something hes gotta hit deadpool aint that aint easy...

and while hes dodging around hes filling our ever lovin Ragin Cajun full automatic shells. not to mention he packs his own explosives. lol.

I love Gambit and all, this isnt a contest of who you like more, and a realistic assessment Deadpool would win. :P

Gambit couldnt deal:

I loved Nicieza's old X-MEN stories, particularly the issues that featured Gambit. That issue with Gambit and Sabretooth (I'm thinking #33) was really well done. But yes, Gambit has been mishandled for years now. His relationship with Rogue used to be a good thing. It used to flesh out both characters.

As for the fight, I'm going with Gambit. Deadpool might be the better fighter, but people really do underestimate Gambit's fighting skills. I'll give agility and speed to Gambit as well. As far resourcefulness I'd say the two characters are even. Gambit, by far, has the more dangerous powers out of the two. And DP might be able to recover from a blown off arm... after Gambit has taken advatange of his handicap and already knocked him out.

[Huerta]

Deadpool is still the better fighter AND he uses guns. Deadpool is quicker, has been trained by the best and he has that HEALING FACTOR. One shot from DP and Gambit goes down like a b#$%h. You guys are just voting for who's the coolest, but ah well.

And that is a nasty page Nevermore.

[Trilogy]

Oh, because Gambit has never dodged multiple gun fire before?

(Check out Uncanny X-MEN 276)

[Huerta]

From Deadpool?

[fatmancomics]

Voted Gambit 'cause he's the cooler character.

[nevermore]

Lmao Aztek! I laughed so hard when I read that page :P

seriously though, Im wondering how many people here posting for Gambit even really know who deadpool is. I remember in another thread someone said Green Goblin would beat Deadpool because Deadpool may be the better fighter but Green Goblin's got crazy....

Deadpool is insane, and one of the top martial artists on Marvel's Earth, and an expert and master with every gun, hes superhumanly agile, strong and fast, and makes wolverines healing factor look like kids play (Well both his and wolverines healing factor depend on the writer. lmao.)

[Trilogy]

From Deadpool?


No. If that's what you want to hear. But from multiple gunmen -- all trained experts -- trying to shoot him at the same time. Sorry, I'd take my chances with only one man trying to shoot me (even if it is Deadpool). Point is, he's proven he can dodge gun fire. It's fine and dandy if someone has a gun. If the character they're trying to shoot can dodge gun fire, then well... What's the point?

Also, no. I have no idea at all who Deadpool is. I've only been collecting comics for years on top of years on top of years. Of course I voted for Gambit because I don't who Deadpool is. It's not like I have any issues of the Joe Kelly and Chris Priest run.

[Logan]

i know both characters really well. i've followed both since they were introduced, not that i bought all their books, but i read most of them because i have a friend that collects them. i never liked either one enough to buy every piece of inanimate matter with them printed on it.

that said i still pick gambit. his fighting skills ARE very very underated, but he is tough. i mean, he lead a thieves guild for a while. plus you just can't beat the fact that anything he touches at all becomes a grenade. the possibilities are endless with a power like that.

[smygba]

Gambit of course. He'd just grab Deadpool and make him explode. ¬_¬

[Trilogy]

All sarcasm aside this time, I have to agree with the last two posters. Gambit's primary mutant power is the X-factor in this fight (no pun intended). Gambit's primary power brings about too many vast possibilities. I believe in every other category, with the exception of mutant powers, the two are very evenly matched. Again, what puts Gambit over is his ability to turn anything he touches into a grenade, and I think that's just too much for DP.

[Huerta]

Gambit of course. He'd just grab Deadpool and make him explode. ¬_¬

doesnt work that way.

[smygba]

doesnt work that way.
Well I've never seen in a description of his powers Does not work on Humans/Mutants or anyone else in comic book land, so the only reason he hasn't before is because of the moral outrage that'd occur from revealing he can cause someone to blow their brains. As for catching Deadpool to do, he is a master of stealth and subdefuge. So Gambit wins. Always :D

[Teratophile]

Deadpool.

Deadpool has been blown to smithereens and has come back to kill and kill again. So there goes gambits Main ability. He is gambits equal or better when it comes to fighting and agility.

Deadpool reminds me of a charismatic boba fett. He has more then just guns. With all the tricks in deadpools sleeve...combined with his accuracy and his mutant abilities, I think gambit would have his head blown off before he could charge a playing card.

[Teratophile]

He cant charge organic matter.

[Trilogy]

doesnt work that way.


I know what you're thinking, bro. But it would work that way if Gambit touched Deadpool's costume, or any weapons attached to his body (swords, firearms, etc). Tell me, weapons and DP's costume aren't organic, correct?

Mr. Sodomy, Deadpool may've come back after being blown to "smitereens", but that doesn't mean that he would win the fight between Gambit and himself. If Deadpool is blown up then Gambit walks away with the W. Period. I'm not looking at this fight like "Who gets their ass kicked but keeps coming back hours/days later for a rematch". I'm looking at this as a single fight (sort of what Wizard used to do). Deadpool is very resourceful. I like Deadpool, and I enjoyed many issues of his book when Kelly and Priest penned it; however, Gambit is resourceful as well. Like I said, the only thing that really sets these two apart are their mutant powers. The possibilities for Gambit are too much for 'Pool. And time delayed charges?

[nevermore]

I believe in every other category, with the exception of mutant powers, the two are very evenly matched.

Jesus, this is like saying Iron Fist and Cyclops are on the same league when it comes to Martial Arts.

[Huerta]

Iron Fist and Deadpool would Kick Cyclops and Gambits A$$E$!

[smygba]

When was this "he can't charge organic matter" issue addressed? And if that's true, imo Gambit shouldn;t have to hold the object he charges as his organic skin wouldn't work. The only way that'd work is if his powers were telekenetic or something. Sounds to me this is plothole in his characters powers.

I still pick Gambit though.

[Teratophile]

"Gambit's interkinetic power allows him to produce bio-kinetic energy within his body and use it to convert any inorganic object's potential energy into kinetic energy on contact, making the object highly volatile and explosive on contact. "

also i believe its his eyes that are involved with charging not his grip.

i still say pool. lol

[Trilogy]

Jesus, this is like saying Iron Fist and Cyclops are on the same league when it comes to Martial Arts.

Iron Fist and Cyclops are on a martial arts league together? Wow. Lol, anyway, I don't see the hand to hand combat angle as a huge factor, because Gambit clearly has the huge upperhand when it comes to mutant powers. Again, I bring up the fact that Gambit has dodged gunfire before, and not even DP can shoot what he can't hit. Yeah, Gamit's fighting abilities are underrated. You think DP is in a different league, but guess what... I still say Gambit.

[crazyjedichicken]

didnt ultimate gambit whoop wolvies ass?and considering ultimate gambit isnt fit to lick the real gambits boots id say hes darn good!
but itd still be deadpool who'd win. he just...would god damn it! hes like sabertooth and wolvie spliced together!but with swords and explosions!:eek:

[sdowner]

so after Deadpool regens and hunts him down again... besides after gambit charges something hes gotta hit deadpool aint that aint easy...

and while hes dodging around hes filling our ever lovin Ragin Cajun full automatic shells. not to mention he packs his own explosives. lol.

I vote Deadpool solely on the utter randomness and hilarity of this page.

[Pep]

Unless Gambi's bulletproof I'll say DP. He'll cackle the head off of the cajun and then he'll stroke him gently with whatever sharp object he can find.

[jack_of_asses]

this is is a really confounding match up. i can understand why some people would not like deadpool because he kind of has that annoying bugs bunny character, which some would argue is part of his charm. and its pretty evident that the main reason people may not like gambit is because he's underutilized and has been transformed into a very angst driven character that might even rival the cast of dawson's creek (rogues fault). but their are so many variables like what kind of arsenal deadpool has on him, whether gambit could dodge a trained marksman, and who is the better fighter. all this considered and i am in total indecision.
i'm going to just flip a coin, heads deadpool, tails gambit.
gambit wins according to my highly scientific and 100% error proof method.
the coin has spoken.

[EducatedOpinion]

Sigh

This all depends on Which level of their abilities they fight

Normal Deadpool vs Normal Gambit Would be a great fight

However...Deadpools only mutant ability is Healing Factor which with his physiology makes him superhuman speed strength and such

Gambits Mutant ability has been classified on tha unlimited potential category...making him in some cases Omega..and even if not bein that this isn't official yet Tho Wikipedia claims it...He's Still Alpha without tha Omega Title.... As Omega Gambit can Look at something and blow it up, Fly, Exist as energy, and fire plasma beams so no use for cards...these are all tha powers marvel has given out for him in Omega state
In Alpha state Gambit can charge anything and blow it up..Slight Hypnosis making u believe anything he says...and being that Gambits power is tha manipulation of Kinetic energy... He Never Stops Moving! So Deadpool Can't Hit Gambit...It would be Extremely Hard...Although DP does haev devestating accuracy that rivals Bullseye...


So!

Omega Gambit vs Deadpool
Gambit could fly around dodging bullets or tha bullets would disentegrate in tha plasma form of energy he exist in and Gambit would charge tha ground under deadpool and throw blast at him in unison causing deadpool to get hit indefinitely and he'd die or be incredibly injured within seconds

Now its not my fault that mastered control over healing, which DP doesn't have ..only immortal man and Elixir do...This mastery only allows you to survive...not get your ass kicked...

Now...Regular Gambit vs Regular Deadpool

Gambit still is an expert dodger due to kinetics....Deadpool is a great aim...sooo..who knows..deadpool would barely hit tho..and charging cards as grenades and a bo staff and charging tha ground and charging deadpool and his weapons in close combat...But Deadpool is Tricky..and can teleport and has holgrams..he has tha cunning of a ninja and devices to help along with his physical attributes...This is like a 60-40 fight

Gambit Wins due to better mutant ability that unfortunately deadpool counters his own...if gambit didnt have kinetic power and instead had the power to store energy in objects and blow them up..not by kinetic mastery...Then! Gambit couldn't dodge well and would be subject to Deadpools fire

So Basically this ..would be stalemate..is won by Gambit Due to His Kick ass Mutant Power!

Yay! Gambit

Yes..Im a Gambit fan...but I researched Deadpool before posting this..and its not happenin DP!

Azteck

Im not sure if you posted that link in order to say
Gambits not on tha Omega level list
Or to help everyone understand what an Omega is

If its tha Latter...Good Lookin

If not...Sorry You Wasted Time doing that
Cuz Like i said in my previous post...its not official
But...since u wanna post Wikipedia links and sh*t
check this out..look at powers and abilities

[NightFallIndustries]

Okay guys. Raise your hands if you forgot Deadpool can TELEPORT. Not a mutant ability (as DP is not a mutant) but he does have a teleportation device in his belt buckle. At least that's where it is if I remember correctly. He uses it all the time to get out of the way of explosions. So here's the way these two match up. Gambit has strength, agility and speed far superior to most normal people. Deadpool also has these things. Gambit has the ability to charge objects with kinetic energy, causing them to explode (especially on impact). Deadpool has one of the most impressive healing factors imaginable. Gambit has "cajun charm". No it is not hypnosis. Being from Louisiana, I can certainly tell you that our charm only goes so far lol. Gambit carries an extendable staff (or bo, if you like that term) as a weapon. Deadpool never shuts up. If you look at any game (video, board, heroclix, card, etc.) where Deadpool is a character, you will see that his loud mouth is treated as a type of weapon, or power. It is usually noted as a severe distraction and morale damper to his opponent. So on the level of "talking" they are quite evenly matched as well. However, when it comes to weapons, Deadpool can and will use any weapon available to him expertly, and with deadly precision. He packs his own explosives. He has numerous guns, swords, and other arms of various descriptions stashed all over his person. As far as Gambit charging something on Deadpool's suit goes - well that is a matter of being able to touch him long enough to charge anything. Just like Gambit can dodge gunfire (which is certainly faster than an attempt to touch someone) Deadpool can too. So they would be doing quite a lot of dancing around, throwing playing cards and lead at each other, I imagine. Deadpool is accustomed to pain, though. He barely notices it. I remember Typhoid Mary once snapped his wrist like a twig. Deadpool just wondered aloud what the sound of it snapping was. Pain has almost no effect on him. The man has (although not plainly shown, hinted at) had sex with DEATH, people. Death may have had a hot body and a grim reaper head, but so what - it was still Death. Point is - he is Gambit's superior when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. He is a superior marksman, as well - although Gambit has been known to be pretty on-target with his cards (think hitting Magneto in the face behind his helmet just before Wolverine attacked him - and for his trouble got his adamantium ripped out). Wolverine has beaten Gambit before - when they thought Gambit was killing all those people like Jack the Ripper. I think that was the plot line - been a long time ago. But Deadpool has beaten Wolverine. Look at Deadpool's fighting skills in Wolverine #88. The cover is Deadpool holding Wolverine over his head with both swords through him, like Wolverine doesn't weigh a thing. Deadpool wins this one kids. Gambit might somehow charge up one of Deadpool's weapons, but Deadpool would either just take it like a man, or throw it at Gambit before it exploded. You can't keep him down. Gambit is no match for someone who ignores pain completely, teleports all over the place, and babbles incessantly about Gambit's fashion sense, all while unloading clip after clip of ammo at him. Deadpool would be dropping grenades right and left, not to mention throwing knives and swords (again Wolverine #88) across the room if necessary. He's every bit as fast and agile as Gambit is - if not more so. And to make matters worse, Deadpool has no qualms about fighting dirty. I can't remember what issue of DP it was, but in one of them I remember a guy grabbed him from behind and Deadpool just reached over his shoulder and nonchalantly poked his eye right out lol. He's gonna do whatever it takes to win - and if he sees that he can't, he'll just teleport the hell out of there and leave Gambit some plastique to remember him by. Deadpool Owns.

[pseudonym]

As it's been said before, it all depends on which take of the character we're talking about. the are so many god damn alternate universes. and in all of them gambits abilities are at different levels. in gambits solo comics his powers are at the stage where he can charge object by looking at them. at one stage he charges a dudes hair merely by looking at it.

As 'New Sun' Gambit blows up the whole f#####g planet. and survives...

i'd say gambit would win, if it came down to that.

[cabralsoth]

i say deadpool.... not because of any scientific fact, just because i say so. i don't care for gambit, never have, if i ever draw the 2 of em on the same page i will be sure to put deadpools boot up the cajuns rectum!

[Ryigenchi]

Gambit dude! The Cajuin is just suave and awesome!

[Wild&Uncouth]

Whenever I have to remember Gambit as a bad-ass, I always think back to Joe Mad's first issue of Uncanny X-Men, right before the Phalanx cross-over. In the issue Gambit charges up a number of sweet objects, the coolest of which was a giant anchor.

As much as I'm not a fan of Gambit now, I would root for him in a fight with Deadpool as long as I was able to hold onto that memory.

[godlykoala]

I know what you're thinking, bro. But it would work that way if Gambit touched Deadpool's costume, or any weapons attached to his body (swords, firearms, etc). Tell me, weapons and DP's costume aren't organic, correct?

Mr. Sodomy, Deadpool may've come back after being blown to "smitereens", but that doesn't mean that he would win the fight between Gambit and himself. If Deadpool is blown up then Gambit walks away with the W. Period. I'm not looking at this fight like "Who gets their ass kicked but keeps coming back hours/days later for a rematch". I'm looking at this as a single fight (sort of what Wizard used to do). Deadpool is very resourceful. I like Deadpool, and I enjoyed many issues of his book when Kelly and Priest penned it; however, Gambit is resourceful as well. Like I said, the only thing that really sets these two apart are their mutant powers. The possibilities for Gambit are too much for 'Pool. And time delayed charges?

you all know deadpool actually has the ability to negate kenetic energy right? when anything hits him without a force behind it (wolverine slashing WOULD cut him) it does nothing. bullets fall to the ground off his chest... so, deadpool all the way.

[makoi]

Gambit was great when he first came on with Clairemont writing him. He was awesome in X-tinction Agenda and when they relauchned X-Men. I don't follow him now, but I remember he started getting lame.

[silversannin]

dead pool all the way lol awesome fighter,
and if gambit did manage to touch dead pool he would need to hold him for a while so he can get a bigger explosion so he can actually kill him otherwise it would be a small explosion which dead pool would just heal away, and i think gambit would have a sword in his head by the time he could hold on to him long enough :D

[ntat]

deadpool would beat the shit out of vgambit. Ithink gambit is startin to get way too much love

[kubankin]

I'd also go with Deadpool, i like Gambit but i don't think he could quite cut it

[BIOHAZARD]

Deadpool without doubt.Man, he was made as the ultimate weapon, right next to wolverine.He can put severed limbs back together.Like his head or arms, he can put organs back too, like the heart or lungs.The only thing holding back deadpool is his mind.He wanders from a fight without even noticing!So he's neverr completely focused, but still deadpool would win.Hands down.

[Rorschach21]

Who ever the heck put in Gambit should think again.Deadpool can put any of his body parts back together (including his organs to the people that don't know).Besides he has healing factor.
