Okay, I'm gonna get killed for this. But I have to.

On Mile High Comics, you can usually catch comic previews a while before they come out. They have the preview of Ultimate X-Men #50, and one page just BEGGED for comment.

.

The one page:



I know what my first thought on this was:

Look out! It's Ultimate Michael Bolton! Run! Run! Run for your lives!

Haha, this is probably the closest I'll ever get to looking like Gambit.

Bad hair aside, two panels in and I already like him more than the previous appearance of Ultimate Gambit.

You brought this upon yourself.

Conversation at the Marvel Bullpen Revealed

Ultimate Line Editor: "So Gambit's cajun."
Intern: "Yeah."
ULE: "That means he's part French, right?"
Int: "I... guess so."
ULE: "He doesn't look it in original X-Men. Unless framing your head in Saran Wrap is french."
Int: [shrugs] "Not in most circles."
ULE: "He is getting the standard Ultimates redesign, but we need to give some french features."
Int: "Like what, a big nose?"
ULE: "No, it will kill the sales to make him ugly."
[ULE scratches his chin, then suddenly snaps fingers]
"Send this to the artists. We're giving Gambit."
[dramatic pause]
"A perm."
[Intern stares blankly]
ULE: "Make it so."
ULE: "And get me a frappachino."

Okay, as someone who was an intern there? We never had that kind of power. :)

It's just an order passed down. I don't know what the command hierarchy looks like in The Bullpen. But I can see some poor intern forced to by "the messenger". Yes, in a Luc Besson's Joan of Arc way, in that those receiving the message will be confused, throw up the hands, and the manager divorcing lets the messenger go once he's had his way with served his purpose.

On the other hand...he also looks like James Hetfield from Metallica before the whole band picked up a pair of scissors.

Ultimate Hetfield. Riiiiiiight.
