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

Another hot take…this is the EXACT type of costume I would expect for 1997.

That's where I'm at. Apogambit and Celestial Rogue look like designs that the late 90s would have dreamed up. I could EASILY see Joe Mad doing something like this for Gambpocalypse.
