Death always speaks the truth

Oh vey. What are they doing to Gambit now?

If you haven't heard, Gambit is now a Horseman for Apocalypse (yes, he returned of course thanks in part to Deadpool), specifically, Death. Now I remember hearing something about this a while back ago, saying huh, and forgetting all about it until Kyle gave me the heads up that it has happened. And no, Apocalypse didn't kidnap Gambit and turned him into a Horseman unwillingly. It's quite the opposite; Gambit walked to Apocalypse and asked to be made Death. And why you ask? So that Gambit can keep an eye on Apocalypse.

Ok, sounds reasonable, until you think about other people who have turned into the Horsemen, most notably Archangel. They didn't exactly have control over their minds or body, did they now, Gambit? And while I'll give you that you can beat Wolverine and whoever else, I can't give you the win over Apocalypse. Because of the transmutation now, his hair is white and his skin a deep black.

His powers have changed as well. No more kinetically charging objects. Now he has "the ability to convert inert materials into toxic substances; for example, transforming breathable air into poisonous gases." ...what the fuck? Not only that, but he cannot lie, as he states "Death always speaks the truth." This brings me to the third power he has now: speaking perfect English. Note that he says the truth, not de truth as he is most famous for saying with that Louisiana Yat tongue of his.

However, he also says he is "both Gambit and Death," so maybe he still has a piece of his mind untouched by Apocalypse. I mean, he couldn't kill Rogue when he had the chance. Man, I can't imagine what this is doing to their relationship now. As of now, Gambit as Death has been defeated by the X-Men, was carried off by other Horseman Sunfire, and his whereabouts are unknown at this time.

And now for the math portion of this essay. If A=Gambit and B=Me, then A=B; because I like to think of myself as Gambit. Now then, if A=D, where D is Death, then D=B. I am Death.

I think, therefore I am.

Actually, that's me stretching this too far. I know I'm not Death, but I do feel like a villain lately. Or maybe I just want to be one. Also, C wasn't included in my math formula because C is a stupid letter.

End rant. Get up from your chairs and read a comic book.
