Gambit's cryptic past is finally revealed, and it is a real dozy! I think I was shocked when I first read Uncanny X-Men #350 and learned about his complicity in the Mutant Massacre (which remains one of my favorite stories). I was pleasantly surprised to see that it all made sense. It was Gambit that formed the Marauders for Sinister, and it was Gambit that lead them into the tunnels the day they massacred the Morlocks.This big reveal felt anticlimactic. Erik the Red (who had nothing to do with the Mutant Massacre) is holding Gambit accountable? Two unknown bounty hunters bring him in? No Marauders or Sinister? It was an isolated "trial" that felt detached from the "crime".
[3-Stars] Uncanny X-Men #347 "Big Night" The X-Men's return trip to Earth is disrupted, and the team lands in a strange unknown location. They wake up separated slowly realizing that they are on Earth with bounty hunters Spat and Grovel hired to capture Gambit.
[3-Stars] Uncanny X-Men #348 "Because, I Said So" The X-Men Spat, and Grovel are prisoners of the robot known as Nanny built by Magneto. Rogue is forced to confront the growing memories she absorbed from Gambit back in Cable #20 (Era #7, Part 16: Legion Quest).
[3-Stars] Uncanny X-Men #349 "The Crawl" Maggot arrives in New York City looking for the X-Men. He finds Psylocke and Archangel who see the mysterious newcomer as a threat. The rest of the X-Men are Nanny's prisoner without their powers and hidden in her underground liar once owned by Magneto. It is up to Trish Tilby to find a way to save them.
[3-Stars] Uncanny X-Men #350 "Trial & Errors" Erik the Red holds a trial accusing Gambit of crimes against mutants. It was Erik the Red who hired Spat and Grovel to bring in Gambit in order to hold trial. He forces the captured X-Men to serve on the Jury and teleports Psylocke, Angel, and Maggot to participate. The verdict is not in question, but the punishment is a surprise.
