Uncanny X-Men (1981) #266

First Appearance: Gambit (Remy LeBeau)

First appearance of Gambit, the Cajun mutant thief with the power to charge objects with kinetic energy. Written by Chris Claremont with art by Mike Collins. A major key from the height of the X-Men's popularity.

Mystique, born Raven Darkhölme, is a shapeshifting mutant spy and one of the X-Men's most dangerous adversaries. She can perfectly replicate any human's appearance, voice, and fingerprints, making her a peerless infiltrator. The founder and leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Mystique's loyalties have always been to herself and to mutantkind above all — she has been both villain and reluctant ally to the X-Men, including her adoptive daughter Rogue.
