Teach Me: Why is Gambit so awesome?

I never really considered the Cajun accent a plus for Gambit - it sort of got on my nerves, much like Rogue's Southern Belle. Of course, it could be I'm just being pretentious.
Question - does Gambit use a Bo staff or a quarterstaff? I'm guessing the latter, but I'm not really sure, and I thought for a change I'd shy away from Wikipedia.
The power's cool, I guess ("Sure would be nice if we had some grenades, dontcha - OOH! Playing cards!"), but I'm a Nightcrawler fan, anyway. If Wolverine used deodorant once in a while, I'd probably like him more, as well.

Ryan Reynolds is awesome in his own right, but to have him play Deadpool is sweet beyond words.
Now we just need to find somebody equally awesome to play Green Arrow. I wonder if Ewan Macgregor is equal to the task.

If you are talking about abilities, I like Colossus or Iceman more.
If you are talking about personality, I like Wolverine or Nightcrawler more.
That's only about X-Men. I would rather have Pyro with his Australian accent (not some American bastard actor...) and his attitude. Or Juggernaut. And that's about both powers and character.
By the way - they can afford a German Nightcrawler, but they can't afford one good Australian actor to play Pyro?

Really? I always thought Deadpool was kind of cliche. A wise-cracking mercenary that looks like Spiderman. Basically, I always saw him as comedy relief.Aardvark said:
On the other hand, Beast and Iceman were interesting, for different reasons. I'd have to pick one of those two, probably.
Did you forget about Franklin Richards?DraconianKing said:
I know that Sinister weakened Gambits powers, but I never found a reference to him being able to "charge up the world". I just know that he had so much power going through him that he found it very hard to control, which Sinister helped him with, by lessening it. I'd be interested to see the reference to that.
Iceman and Jean Gray are probably the two most powerful mutants the X-men have.
I've had this same argument with an X-men obsessed friend. She wasn't particularly happy when I referred to his "mysterious character" as "carrying a stick, throwing cards, and having no eyes." Put some sunglasses on a back-alley-casino blackjack dealer and you've got gambit.
For one, he lacks Wolverines annoying secondary mutant power: to simultaneously appear in every single thing Marvel has ever printed, ever (seriously, I think he's started to retroactively appear in old Spider-Man stories now - it's crazy)... Lack of overexposure is a good thing.
