Gambit[src]

Oliver was one of Gambit's pet cats.

History

Oliver, Figaro, and Lucifer were originally captured by Sabretooth as a "snack" before being rescued by Mystique. Mystique then left the trio in Gambit's apartment for him to adopt them.[2]

When Gambit joined Serval Industries' new X-Factor, he moved his three cats with him into his apartment at Serval Industries' headquarters. While adjusting to their new environment, Oliver scratched Lorna.[3]

Oliver, Figaro, and Lucifer becoming a family with Rogue and Gambit

The trio eventually moved with Gambit back into his Tribeca penthouse. Because he can be gone for days at a time, the cats have become very independent and are sometimes skittish around guests. However, when they first met Rogue, they were very affectionate with her.[4] Since their marriage, Rogue has adopted the cats into her family with Gambit.[5][6][7]

The cats did move with Gambit and Rogue into the Braddock Lighthouse.[8] When Rogue was elected to the first Krakoan X-Men, she moved into the Treehouse, but Gambit and the boys remained in the Lighthouse.[7][9] When Coven Akkaba magically destroyed the Lighthouse, Captain Britain magically protected the cats from harm while keeping the gateway to Otherworld open with her Starlight Sword.[10]

Notes

  • Gambit has confirmed that his cats don't have any special powers.[11]

Trivia

  • Given the names of Gambit's other cats, it seems likely that Oliver was named after Oliver, the titular protagonist from Disney's 1988 animated feature film Oliver & Company.
