Fan Casting “Sacrifice” in Ultimate X-Men II: Age of Apocalypse

As Master Mold unleashes a tidal wave of Sentinels over Genosha, the X-Men scramble to evacuate civilians while fending off relentless attacks. Gambit realizes there is only one way to stop the machine’s central processing core before it annihilates the city. Despite Rogue’s desperate attempts to restrain him, he charges into the heart of Master Mold’s domain. Using his mutant ability to kinetically charge objects, he rigged a massive explosion with a concentrated deck of explosive playing cards. In the final moment, Gambit locks eyes with Rogue, whispering a silent apology and a promise that this will make things right. The detonation engulfs him entirely, reducing Master Mold to scrap and saving countless lives. Rogue, wracked with guilt and grief, can only watch as the smoke clears and the X-Men and Genosha remain intact, thanks to his ultimate act of selflessness.
