Marvel just X-Men‘s Gambit a major power upgrade, in the most nonchalant way. It took place in the pages of Marvel Comics‘ Excalibur #16, as the new Excalibur team from the mutant nation of Krakoa returned to Otherworld to deal with the aftermath of the recent “X of Swords” crossover. (SPOILERS) During the tournament between the mutants of Krakoa and the ancient mutants of Arrako, Betsy Braddock (the new Captain Britain) was seemingly killed (shattered into crystalline shards, more accurately) by Arrako’s Isca The Unbeaten. In an effort to see if there is yet some way to recover Betsy, Excalibur needs Gambit’s mutant powers to evolve.
