*Marvel: Gambit, the charismatic anti-hero who rescued Storm at a time when she was a powerless teenager (it happens to the X-Men more often than you think), made his very first appearance, an unheralded blink-and-you-miss-it cameo, in 1990’s X-Men Annual #14, before progressing to a cover-starring role in X-Men #266 and a further appearance in #267. An instant hit with the audience – despite the Pepe LePew accent and the unfortunate early costume of boots, panties, stripey tights and flasher-mac – he rapidly became a key member of the X-Men, primarily because of his doomed romance with the untouchable Rogue.
