Share When Did Gambit Go Blind?

Okay, let’s dive into the world of Gambit and his unfortunate blindness!

Gambit was temporarily blinded during his first mission back with the X-Men after Sage helped restore his powers. While on Havok’s team, Gambit was caught in the blast of one of his own energized playing cards. This unfortunate incident caused temporary blindness but didn’t permanently affect his sight.

It’s important to note that this blindness was temporary. Gambit’s powers are based on manipulating kinetic energy, and he’s often seen using playing cards as a focus for his abilities. It appears the accident was a result of a miscalculation or an unexpected reaction from his powers, leading to the energy blast that temporarily blinded him. This incident serves as a reminder of the inherent dangers of using his powers, even for someone as experienced as Gambit.

It’s also worth noting that Gambit’s blindness was not a recurring problem. While it’s a notable event in his history, it hasn’t become a recurring issue in his stories. He’s remained a skilled X-Man and a valuable member of the team, even with the memory of this temporary setback.
