In the latest episode of ‘X-Men ’97’, Rogue has a tense encounter with Captain America. After learning of Gambit’s death, Rogue seeks revenge and confronts General Ross. Her search leads her to a remote cabin where she encounters Captain America. Despite their shared mission, Rogue is disillusioned by Cap’s methods and throws his shield away, leaving him to retrieve it.
Amidst the tragedy that befell Gambit in X-Men ’97’s fifth episode, fans previously embraced two positive aspects from the show’s premiere: a thrilling combo move with Wolverine and Gambit’s ’90s-era crop top. Voice actor A.J. LoCascio expressed his surprise and delight at the latter’s unexpected popularity, while director Jake Castorena was equally astounded by the reception to the former, which showcased Gambit’s innovative use of his kinetic energy to enhance Wolverine’s claws.
