Do you think Gambit should be able to turn his Horseman of Apocalypse Death mode on and off like Angel/Archangel?  or would it be beating a dead horse since the ability seems pretty unique to Warren?  After reading the Xmen Hellbound mini and seeing him turn to Death in Limbo I think it's something the X writers should consider.  His Death mode seemed super strong and he could turn people evil but it also radically altered his personality.  I think it'd be awesome if they permanently added that element to Gambit in future books.  Opinions?
                                                                                                                                          
 
 
 

Like a transformation that can only be activated at certain times? If I was him,I would  only need to use it in situational purposes.

Although I do like it for Angel (because well he needs it to be cooler and more powerful) it is not needed for Gambit in my opinion. So I vote No.

I'm not a fan of Gambit as a horsemen personally.

" @IrishX:   yea thats basically the only reason why I question it myself because its kind of Angel's 'thing' to hop into Archeangel for X force but stay Angel for X men.  It would be biting his style....although the transformation for Gambit drastically alters his persona "

Yeah don't get me wrong Gambit is badass that way I just think he's awesome enough just the way he is. "

It just seems very anime-y for character's to transform.

I don't even like that Angel does it. I wish they would just choose one or the other.

It really should be Archangel then. "

"  Edit:  Actually no I lie, Gambit dosent need the ability to transform into his Death persona he just needs a power boost. "

Death Gambit was cool, but I wouldn't want one of those "will transformations" like Angel has (works better for him imo) 
 
I agree that he needs a power boost tho. 

I like both his persona's but death is meant to be really powerful & changes the way Remy is but at will transformation would be cool but pretty unnecessary .

I like it for Angel, but that's cuz I really like Archangel. When I first got into comics, Angel was Archangel. Plus like a lot of people already said, Angel kind of needs it.
I never liked Gambit as Death, but I love the idea of Death Gambit being exorcised from Gambit and becoming his own character, a villain for Gambit to fight. 
Maybe like Venom, Death Gambit could merge with another character who hates Gambit. Death Gambit's spirit/energy state could go into Julien Boudreaux's grave and they could merge, becoming a major villain for Remy. Just an idea!

@jrock85: I'm starting to respect your reasons for not liking Carey. I think I just liked him because he actually writes Gambit. I thought it was Fraction who brought 'Deathbit' back. For the record, if ever there was an X writer that I've hated, it'd be Fraction. Also, I do feel like Carey is using his powers in creative ways, such as using the Gambit rifle. I don't like the New Sun super powers Gambit either. Too powerful. I like my heroes having a little underdog status.

No, not on & off as he chooses.  The point is it's something that he can't control.  For Archangel, he's been through several transformations.  Therefore the ability to switch back & forth as desired is a new twist to his character.  But for Gambit... he's struggling to understand it while keeping it secret.  I'm more interested to see how Mike Carey tells this story & what the end results will be.
