However, just because Gambit is dealing with a curse of his own doesn\u2019t mean he gets to pack up and take some much-needed rest when there\u2019s still heroing to do. And that heroing results in the X-Man debuting a hardcore new superpower: the ability to hurt what was once untouchable: DEMONS.<\/p>\n<p>This new ability comes from a frankly brilliant twist on Gambit\u2019s current powerset and goes to show exactly why Gail Simone is one of the GOATs of the comic industry.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2
