Gambit was born and partially raised in a small community in Italy, before his parents immigrated to New York City when he was about five years old, only just after they gave birth to his little brother. He retained his Italian accent, and despite the place he grew up, did not develop a New Yorker accent. At a young age, Carmine was enrolled in the martial art schools of kickboxing and Jeet Kune Do, his parents wanting to give him a very active and healthy lifestyle. As he grew older, he became a very aggressive learner of both arts, predominately due to rising problems with his social networks. He was often made fun of while in school, primarily due to his accent and place of birth. His sister received the same punishment, but for different reasons, which gave Carmine a sense of responsibility to defend her at all costs, often getting in fights to save her and using the skills he learned from his martial arts training to nearly always come out as the victor.

While he was a teenager, Gambit started to demonstrate unusual abilities, and the first full example of his powers was during his graduation from high school, when he accidentally destroyed the stage after the ceremony. Knowing the kind of trouble this could get him in, he sought to control his newfound powers, and found the best way to do that was to understand where they came from. As such, Carmine decided to go to college, and dual-majored in Psychology and Molecular Biology. During these studies, he gained a fundamental understanding of what was happening to him and, along with his own self discoveries and adaptation to his powers, was able to master them.

When he graduated from college, Carmine set off on his own, and eventually formed the Wild Cards.

Powers

• Molecular Acceleration: Gambit has the mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy upon touching it. When Gambit thus charges an object and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on impact. He is able to use his power simply by looking at an object that he wishes to charge, including living tissue. Gambit can also manipulate the potency of the energy release and can even exercise a measure of control over time.
  • Enhanced Agility: Gambit's ability to tap energy also grants him near-superhuman agility and dexterity which gives him an added edge he has used to his advantage by developing a unique acrobatic fighting style.
  • Static Interference: Gambit can create static, because of the charged potential energy always in his body, that shields his mind from detection and intrusion by even the most powerful telepaths. The shield has the added effect of destabilizing touch based powers.
• Hypnotic Charm: Gambit also possesses the ability to "charge" the kinetic energy within a person's brain, allowing a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Gambit to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. More powerful minds have proven immune to Gambit's charm.

Abilities

Gambit is bilingual in English and Italian, and also possesses the ability to throw small objects - including knives, throwing spikes, and playing cards - with extraordinary accuracy.
