I reading a gambit comic, and i noticed that he was in the Weapon X labs!!! Stealing Nathaniel Essex's diary! But how did the diary get there, and why did gambit have to get it?
Gambit
Character » Gambit appears in 4687 issues.
A charming master thief and skilled martial artist who became a member of the X-Men, Gambit possesses the mutant ability to change potential energy in inanimate objects into kinetic energy which causes them to explode. His signature move is throwing kinetically-charged playing cards at his opponents.
Why is Gambit in the Weapon X labs???
They purposely created this for the movie to look like Gambit actually had a place in Wolvie's origin.Origin's is a blank slate because nobody but the writers know what happens.They can make up stuff as they go along.
Read Weapon X: First Class #3
"Although in X-Men: The End, it was revealed in that possible future that Gambit is just a mixture of Mr. Sinister's DNA with Cyclops. So..."Do people usually accept The End as canon? I thought it was just another alternate reality.

So... do people accept the Gambit is he genetic son of Sinister & Cyclops... which sounds really really gross....?
"So... do people accept the Gambit is he genetic son of Sinister & Cyclops... which sounds really really gross....?"If it's not canon than no...
LOL its speculated that Gambit may be Sinister's son (in some fashion). But its never been confirmed. X-Men The End is not canon.
See, that's what I was thinking... If it's not canon, then that's fine. But sometimes bizarre little things like that creep into mainstream continuity because of how popular it might be with fans.
"Wait, so their genes were mixed to make Gambit or did they magically have a baby by , ya know, by ya know!"
"xerox-kitty said:Yes, yes, I can read thank you very much. But you made me curious as to whether Gambit's fans actually buy into that. Because if they do... it might become canon (see my other comments)."erik said:See bold.""Although in X-Men: The End, it was revealed in that possible future that Gambit is just a mixture of Mr. Sinister's DNA with Cyclops. So..."Do people usually accept The End as canon? I thought it was just another alternate reality."
Gambit's real father has never been revealed. And his connection with Sinister has always been suspect. Add in the obsession of Cyclops (by Sinister) and its completely possible that someday aspects of "The End" will become canon.

Modified DNA damn it!
"Vance Astro said:That's not exactly accurate."Everything First Class is usually terrible."It's non-canon."

wow so no one read the opening post?
not once did this guy ask anything about the movie or the end or first class....he said he was reading a Gambit comic most likely one from his mini
"I thought it was basically counted as non-canon?"I'm on the fence personally. Leaning towards canon. Here's what Marc Sumerak had to say in an interview with Comicmix.com.
"When revisiting the past of any well-known character, the ultimate goal is to provide a fresh take on the classic mythology without contradicting continuity. Personally, I leave it up to the reader to decide whether or not something is "canon"... but a lot of research was done to make sure that the story being told on our pages fits cleanly into the intricately woven tapestry of Marvel history."

Thanks though.
"PsyNick said:Maybe you should take your own advice.

"PsyNick said:He made this thread based on what he read in one he'd already made about Polaris. I apologise for offending anyone tonight as my curiosity about The End & the possibility of Gambit being the genetic descendent of Sinister & Cyclops meant the thread went off on a tangent, and seems to have triggered John's large & bold fonts ;p But apparently the scene in question comes from First Class, which is why that was brought up."I reading a gambit comic, and i noticed that he was in the Weapon X labs!!!

Its all good. I see no reason to apologize lol. Discussion is always welcome. Especially since the question was answered in the first few posts. Why waste the thread? Might as well talk about something.
"sorry if i came off sounding like an a$$....dell has me in a crappy mood right now"Yeah, my bad for snapping back. So is this the part we hug it out?

"Read Weapon X: First Class #3"
"Oh, and bergquist, i wasn't really reading a comic, its just what i found out by the gambit expert(Gambler) and turned it into a question because I STILL DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER! "
Weapon X "acquired" the diary somehow and applied the information contained in it (Sinister's own experimentation with mutant DNA) in there own experimentation on mutants. A young Gambit, a member of the thieves guild, was hired by an anonymous benefactor (probably Essex himself) to steal the diary back.
