Dude had a natural charm when he first showed up. Some said that was also part of his mutant ability but his whole concept is just ill.

5. "he's got swag and he throws cards" In response to Reply # 0
he was always laying it on thick with Rogue, he had some sort of accent, and he threw cards that blew up. As a young buck, I thought dude was as cool as it got, and he ranked personally only second to Wolverine.

Dude is now C or even D-level X-character status.
But when he first was created, he was a new character with a cool power, a cool-looking design/costume, and a "mysterious" past they could hint at but refused to reveal over the span of hundreds of issues.. It was like Chris Claremont's attempt to create another Wolverine, with ultimately less staying power.
9. "RE: I guess I just never thought his power was all that cool." In response to Reply # 8
His power, in and of itself, wasn't cool. The visuals that it lead to were. In his first appearances, he'd hold a lock pick, his eyes would shoot energy that traveled up his arm to charge it, then he'd throw it.

He was one of my favorite X-Men characters back then next to Wolverine. He had the mysterious past, cool red eyes, the accent, the kinetic card power etc. He personified cool back then but now? I guess that coolness couldn't last forever...

Dude had an original mutant power, red eyes, a bo staff, an interesting origin, and charm. What's not to like?

Gambit's body, as a living generator of bio-kinetic energies, possesses physiological attributes adapted for constant motion. As a result, his mutation has increased his body's innate physical qualities ( such as speed, reflexes/reactions, stamina, agility, flexibility, dexterity and balance) to the very limit of natural human capability. This also creates static interference around him at all times making him immune to telepathic probes, and at the peak of his powers, this grew to become a constant ambient bio-kinetic aura around his body which neutralized all other mutant powers which involved direct physical contact upon his person, allowing him to make direct skin contact at last with Rogue, enabling them to finally physically consummate their romantic relationship.

But if this what happened, its corny beyond my ability to put into words.
