    Between the upcoming Uncanny X-Men and  Wolverine And The X-Men, which team do you think Gambit will reside on and why??

    I think editorially they will put him with Wolverine, because it will possibly be the edgier team. My take is that they want to have one title with more classic X-Men stories and the other one, edgier, leaning to the 90s trend of comics.

    @spikevalentine: I could see why you'd say/think that. But would Gambit follow Wolverine after he stabbed him in the gut? Just asking

    @Hus: Gambit and Wolvie fight all the time ever since Gambit appeared, and they also act like understanding friends all the time, I guess they both have this dark nature.
    @cattlebattle: I didn't know they had announced the teams yet, can you share the link to the source please? :D

    In the solicits for X-Men, it has Emma as the only visible character, and it mentions that they will be following xxxxxx (not a fact I believe it will be Xavier), You can find it at Marvel.com, just search for October solicits

    When the dust settles from the X-Men's Schism, a line has been drawn, and every mutant must choose. Who will they follow — XXXXXX or Wolverine? Either way, with mutantkind cut in two, things will never be the same. Setting the stage for this month's WOLVERINE & THE X-MEN #1 and November's all-new UNCANNY X-MEN #1, Kieron Gillen (UNCANNY X-MEN, JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY) and Billy Tan (UNCANNY ...

    Hopefully he'll be on neither team.
    Hopefully he'll do his own thing.
    Hopefully he'll get his own comic.
    Hopefully!

    I doubt the XXXXXX's mean it's actually someone with 6 letters in their name.  
    I personally think he's going to be on Wolverines side as his side seems to be about protecting the children imo, and with his recent developments in  X-23 he would fit. 
    But i doubt he'll actually be a member on the actual team though, probably just following Rogue around in Legacy

    I guess no matter the team, I just want him to have a prominent roll, and be a main character like he was in X-Men Blue, or is in X23.

    I'd like him to stay neutral, but he'll probably be on Wolverine's team.

    He'd go with Wolverine. I mean he's already hanging out with X-23, why wouldn't he go with Logan?

    Carey is a pretty good writer, he's just not the writer for Gambit.

    He has done a pretty good Hellblazer and all, and X-Men Legacy used to be my favorite X-book when it was about the X-Men, got sick of it when it became "Rogue Adventures," it's forced, boring, dull, and derivative.

    It's meant to be that the Uncanny X-Men team will be the more 'mature, you don't have to kill & fight everything' team, while Wolverine's team will the more brash, ambitious and ready to rumble...

     

    To me, Gambit would therefore be more suited to Wolverine's team.

    This is why I say he should be neutral because he's displayed all of those characteristics at one time or another. Either way, I'm not a fan of the creative teams behind these two books, so I probably won't be picking them up.
