They always flirted with each other but were never dating


TheLivingTribunal666

They were trapped in the Savage Land by Mister Sinister. Mutants lose their power when they are in the Savage Land unless they wear a special belt designed by Sinister. So Rogue could touch people since she lost her powers. In that episode Rogue and Gambit shared a kiss and acknowledged their love for each other. There was another episode in which Gambit's back story was revealed. He used to be a thief. His gang of thieves and another gang had to pay tributes to some deity every 10 years. His fellow member in the gang fell in love with him and Rogue was jealous of her.

Gotta watch the of because it’s kinda confused. They have love for each other but can’t gesture. It’s like love without sex.


iamnotexactlywhite

well yea, because Remy would lose his mutant powers


Lost_Afropick

And be blasted into a coma like Carol Danvers with Rogue experiencing Gambit's nightmares. Losing his powers is the least of it

Nope. In the comics, she kisses him and gains his powers and memories. It messes her up for such a long time because Remy’s guilty of a lot of bad stuff. He’s had a hard life.

When they got married I looked up whether or not he could touch her and this was the response: *In the Marvel comics, Gambit is able to touch Rogue due to his ability to control the kinetic energy of objects, including his own body. This allows him to charge objects with explosive energy or slow down the kinetic energy of his own body, enabling him to touch Rogue without triggering her power-absorbing abilities. Rogue's mutant power involves absorbing the life force, memories, and in some cases, the powers of anyone she touches, which makes physical contact with others a challenge. However, Gambit's control over kinetic energy allows him to circumvent this limitation and maintain physical contact with Rogue.* I didn’t make this up, and things change in comics all the time. One of the detriments of stories that continue for decades is contradictions. She may have hurt him the past but I think they’ve changed it. Heck it could even be that she can somehow control her powers.


Not_Steve

I was reading the “highlights” reading guide from Marvel Unlimited, so maybe I missed a few issues, but she has to wear a power canceling bracelet until she can control her powers. She goes through phases when she can and cannot control them, and… yeah, I’m remember one issue where he pushes through her field of powers. It’s when she powers up so much that she absorbs everybody in the room. Ah. I can’t remember what issue that is. So that’s probably what that entry is referring to. I’m glad you pointed out the contradictions because, like with all comics, it depends on the writer and what they want the story to be.


WombatChilli

Last I checked, Rogue and Gambit had gotten married and her absorption powers are now ranged and fully under control (with the power upgrades happening in that order).


Not_Steve

Yes, the part I’m talking about happened before they get married.


MarvelNerd57

As an asexual person who feels 100% no sexual attraction at all, I love some of their lines, and their beautiful moments, as gambit says “some things are deeper than skin”.


TheWolfmanZ

It's one of the things that I always loved about him tbh. He loved Rogue despite the fact that he couldn't physically be with her. 


everythinglatte

Exactly, especially when you consider that Gambit is super flirtatious but he chooses to pursue and desires someone who he can’t be physical with. And the best part is he seems totally fine with that.


ClintGrant

It’s called “marriage”


Wormspike

I'm on season 1, and straight up, I saw an episode tonight where Professor X is trying to find someone (maybe Trask?) and he uses Cerebro to go through Gambit's recent memories. This is just after Gambit and Storm 'went away together' for a little trip. In the flashes of his memories, one of which was Ghost Rider for some reason lol...but one of his recent memories is literally Rogue standing in a bedroom in front of a bed winking at him lmao Very obviously they found some loopholes for some over the pants action or something.


Jarnin

I literally just finished watching the original series two days ago. Gambit and Rogue are the ["will they or won't they"](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WillTheyOrWontThey) couple throughout all five seasons. They *want* to be together, but Rogue puts the kibosh on that as soon as Gambit makes a move because she's afraid she'll hurt him.


Haadhai

As a ASM or Spider-man comic reader I truly understand “will they or wont they”


brandonandtheboyds

I’m finishing the original series today and can confirm. However there are some episodes that are heavy on the “will they” side. Like… you can see the romance. But yes they never get close enough to be in an actual relationship for the reason u/Jarnin said.


ebonyphoenix

I think Gambit would flirt a lot with her and Rouge would flirt back a little. But Rouge being super reluctant to confirm an actual relationship would be very in character. She is hyper conscious on how getting physically close to her is dangerous for others.


Haadhai

i don’t read comic and didn’t remember og. But someone is. She said the characterisation of Rogue is completely different. Is it true!?


Not_Steve

No, the show nails her character. She wants him real bad, but she pushes him away because she’s so scared of hurting him.


Haadhai

Ok thanks i love her character. i felt sad that they were not going together. But ep 5 made me sad and closure that she loves gambit at end. X-men 97 makes me wanna read comic now.


Rattfraggs

In one of the last seasons of the original show, the EP they find Cannonball, Rogue goes "Undercover" to meet Cannonball. The name she chooses to use is Ms. LeBeau. Rogue would marry Remy in a heartbeat if she could get past her fears.


bythewayne

Yes, but in kids terms


AndrewCole14

Gambit literally says in ep4 of 97 that Rogue never wanted them to be official. So no they were never official but obviously was more going on than what was shown in original series.


lowkeyslightlynerdy

They were very flirty, while Gambit makes his affections clear in half of his lines, Rogue also makes it clear she feels something for him as well quite a bit But no they were never full on dating


Peonycreme

No, they never wed but flirted.


Freakychee

They are like that couple you see who are always flirting and together and you are sure are together in that way but they always somehow dodge the question if you are if they are dating officially.


Grayx_2887

It's complicated, really.

Gambit was a complete simp
