    God, I hope not. I prefer more realistic origins. Hate clone origins. I guess if Mr. Sinister were his real father I'd be somewhat okay with that, but then it just feels like Darth Vader and Luke.

    Don't remember anything about him being a clone having anything to do with Rogue, but yeah, in X-Men the End he was a clone of Sinister and Cyclops. Don't think that is going to be cannon in 616 though. I wouldn't mind him being Sinister's son, but it would be nice for him to have a definitive origin at least.

    This would be the first I'd heard of a connection to Sinister.

    Also I think CC's original plan for both Gambit and Sinister (which never happened btw) was that both were indented to be projections of a "hero" and a "villain" by this powerful mutant that never aged that was in the same orphanage Cyclops went to.

    It would fall really flat if Gambit was shown to be a clone of Sinister.

    If some clever writer was able to incorporate Sinister's origins with creating a clone of his dead son through Gambit, that might be interesting.

    Well, a lot of characters are visually similar without being related.

    Claremonts original plan for Gambit was that he betrays the X-Men, there is a ton of evidence that supports it but it was all retconned due to Gambit becoming a fan favorite. I have never heard of what you suggested

    What you said is also correct. It is just part of the abandoned plot. Here is a list of more. http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?80800-Claremont-s-Abandoned-Plots

    The part where Gambit and Sinister are mentioned to be projections/byproducts of this kid mutant starts on post 12.

    Aaah...the greatness that was Claremont, I can't say all the ideas are great...but most of them are good. The X-Men these days would  likely be heavily altered, which is better than the crap they are up to these days. The thing I like is that Claremont didn't care who was a fan favorite or not.......he would just do whatever he saw fit to a character.

    @Munsu: I had heard that was Mr. Sinisters intended origin. Never knew it was supposed to be Gambit as well. I always liked the idea for Sinister, I don't think I like it for Gambit though.
