Gambit has courted Rogue for three decades in the comics, and now they’re married, so what is it that makes their relationship so perfect?
In a comic universe full of lovebirds, Rogue and Gambit are easily among the most iconic. The Mississippi Belle and the Ragin’ Cajun are a perfect match, and now that they’re married, everyone can admit they’re Marvel’s best couple.
This Southern romance goes back around 30 years to X-Men Vol. 2. When the X-Men are bisected, Rogue—whose real name is Anna Marie—and Gambit are both placed on the “Blue Team” along with heavy hitters Psylocke, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Beast. The more time they spend together, the more that pathologically flirtatious Remy LeBeau seems drawn to Anna—and she to him. Not only did this pairing make a great deal of sense, it was also quite popular with fans.
