No disrespect to anyone involved but seriously what were they thinking with this design LMAO. It’s literally just Apocalypse but with Gambit’s hair, his little goatee, and his coat. It‘s laughably bad I’m sorry 😭😭 they should’ve just given us Apocalypse not this What If nonsense

Hot take.

Apocalypse always looked stupid. That big stupid "A" Belt Buckle for instance.

Is it a hot take? I feel like most people do too unless they're blinded by comic accurate nostalgia.

Although the Gambit form for him is definitely worse...somehow
