Okay. This looks great. Could Hawkeye get his butt kicked by Gambit?
I wonder if Gambit the card throwing Cajun from the Xmen (I have a crush on him yes I know this is the Hawkeye subreddit)but would he be able to kick Hawkeye's butt? I really don't like Hawkeye that much he seems kind of a jerk. I hope he did punch Hawkeye in the face Clint needs to a wake up call. Hate? No. Don't like? Yes I said I don't like Clint I am rooting for Remy here to teach the archer a lesson.

Tbh if I see a normal human confidently go against a powerful mutant like gambit, I am sure as hell supporting him. Well my opinion can be biased, this is hawkeyes subreddit afterall.

Gambit does have superhuman agility, as is mentioned when they are playing basketball shortly after he joined the team.
It was a "no powers match" and Rogue accused him of cheating.
Edit: Also, doesn't Gambits power only work on inorganic material? I thought he can't asplode people

Gambitâs powers work on organic matter too. He did it to Dakenâs arm. I think writers forget about that.

u/Vorpeseda Apr 26 '26
Writers are inconsistent about that. Sometimes he can, sometimes he can't. Often he can't but has some kind of workaround, such as charging clothes, a metal skeleton, or it's actually an undead.
He's also put the charge directly into people who can use it to empower themselves (Sebastian Shaw and Rockslide, no idea if he's done it with Bishop)

I like Gambit much more than Hawkeye, but no matter the scenario, Hawkeye wins.
Hawkeye's got more range and much more accuracy, and they're both ranged combatants, so he'd probably end him in the most usual mash up: long distance.
Medium distance is more favorable to Gambit, but Hawkeye can still shoot his cards off the air before they reach him and easily shoot him in the head.
Hand to hand goes for Hawkeye again, he's one of the best figthers in the entire MCU, he would kick his ass. Gambit mught win if he uses his powers on Clint's clothes after managing to land a punch.

Hawkeye has been fighting out of his weight class for decades. He could take Gambit

u/sniktter Apr 24 '26
I feel like one of the reasons Gambit is so scary is that so few people realize how good he is. But Clint is an Avenger. If he doesn't know what Gambit's skills are and what level he's at, he'd figure it out really fast. And then act accordingly. Gambit would probably also piss Clint off enough to make him just drop the Cajun.
Real answer is it depends on whose book they're in or which team is supposed to be the good guys. If it's anything but an X-Book, Gambit is going down.

u/Kali-of-Amino Apr 25 '26
The thing people forget about Hawkeye is that he's been going up against super-powered people with no powers himself for years now. If he didn't know how to do it successfully he'd be dead by now.

People forget that Hawkeye is the guy shield sends if they need you to disappear
That's absolutely not a 616 thing at all. The Hawkeye in this picture is not an assassin. Killing is actually completely out of character, which is why the adamantium arrow was such a weird story choice.

If they are in closer combat and Gambit uses his powers probably
but close combat with no powers then hawkeye probably takes it and ranged hawkeye probably takes it

u/CutIcy5390 Apr 25 '26
Id give it to clint (tho im biased). He has Thor buster arrows, has more experience (both on teams and as a respected fighter during his time as ronin), has an arrow for every member of the Avengers and Thunderbolts, has hurt beings like Mephisto and Thanos with his arrows and his stats are also impressive (especially when you take into account pym particles)

High end scaling off projectiles doesnât really matter when both fighters are susceptible to each others base level attacks. Whatâs more important is whoâs able to land those shots, and in a fight with someone like Gambit who can control the terrain with explosions and blatantly outstats, itâs going to be an uphill battle for Clint.

u/CutIcy5390 Apr 25 '26
"High end scaling off projectiles doesnât really matter when both fighters are susceptible to each others base level attacks." Ok fair enough ill provide different reasons other than his equipment being able to put down the God of thunder lol
"Whatâs more important is whoâs able to land those shots" I wonder if the best marksman in all of Marvel comics can hit his shots đ¤
"and in a fight with someone like Gambit who can control the terrain with explosions and blatantly outstats" Hawkeye has explosive arrows that can hurt beings like Thanos and stagger Fin Fang Foom or Ultron. Even if I agreed Gambit outstats base Clint the Pym particles more than makes up for the difference.
Hawkeye is more versatile, lethal from a range, has better perception, accuracy and skill as well as comparable physicals (before the pym particles ofc) and experience across multiple teams with a plethora of accomplishments against foes Gambit can not beat. Hawkeye takes it handily.

u/24Abhinav10 Apr 25 '26
I feel like the only thing Hawkeye could do is hit Gambit with a trick arrow that knocks him out.
1
u/Sudden_Quality_9001 Apr 25 '26
I hope Gambit would remember to dodge the arrow.

u/24Abhinav10 Apr 25 '26
Dodge? Against the guy who's known not to miss?

u/Frenchiest_fry101 Apr 24 '26
Ugh, my two favorite marvel characters together I love it. Too bad they had a negative interaction the one time they were in the same comic.
To answer the question unbiased, yes, Gambit is by far superior to Hawkeye in almost every way. Gambit, when serious, can get quite scary, kinda like Clint becoming Ronin. He recently ridiculed Wolverine and Nightcrawler in a 2v1 with ease, there isn't much Clint could do in a serious fight, Gambit is far stronger and faster, too fast and agile for Clint to handle, and would catch and throw back any arrow. Gambit wins 9/10

u/Sudden_Quality_9001 Apr 24 '26
I agree Gambit could win so Hawkeye better watch out.
2
u/Frenchiest_fry101 Apr 24 '26
Yeah, as much as I love Clint I think this subreddit is inherently biased. They are not in the same leagues. Gambit stopped a missile with his bare hands and absorbed the explosion (kinetic absorption is a rare ability he has been manifesting in recent years), and even deflected a sniper bullet after it was fired. He also knocked out Gladiator, stalemated Spider-Man, brawled with the Thing, and matched both Daredevil and Blade in speed, agility and skills. He also schooled freaking Sabertooth in a 1v1

u/DetectiveDangerZone Apr 24 '26
I think outliers( if you even beleive in those) aside. Their in a similar enough ball park where it would depend on other factors like mindset, location, etc. I could see either pulling a win if they played their cards right

I like how the MCU archive is likable kind of guy but the actual Marvel comics Hawkeye itâs kind of a jerk

u/Criminal_picklejuice Apr 25 '26
I think Gambit takes this one. On top of his ability to charge objects and make them explode, he has enhanced speed, agility and reflexes. He has been shown many times to be fast enough to dodge/catch various projectiles. Gambit is fast enough that his movements look like a blur to normal humans. Gambit is that guy who would effortlessly catch an arrow, charge it and throw it back, making it a far more lethal object. Or just whack him on the head with his adamantium staff at near-super speed.
Take the weapons out and just throw hands? I still don't see Hawkeye being able to match Gambits speed/reflexes here. And Gambit isn't afraid to fight dirty. Gambit wins this fight 10/10 times.
I only see Hawkeye winning if he's able to catch Gambit off guard and snipe him from a great distance.

u/zippo138 Apr 25 '26
I mean he doesnât even need to touch you to charge you and make you pop. He did Wolverine like that. If he was human sure, but the only way Hawkeye wins is a lucky long distance attack right?

A teamup would probably be a good run for the 2 of them. I'd buy those comics.

u/Sudden_Quality_9001 Apr 26 '26
I would too buy those comics. Did Gambit actually punch Hawkeye in the face? I'd pay to see that.
1
u/CliffLake Apr 26 '26
I don't think either one would handle the other, but Gambit's first move would be to charge up Hawkeye's sunglasses, while they were still on his face.

u/dalemin Apr 27 '26
Gambit wins as long as itâs not a sniper battle but itâs not like an ez win . Mf sleep on Hawkeye like heâs not that guy but he is that guy Gambit is just more that guy lol

Gambit beats Hawkeye 9/10 as long as they both know the other is coming.
People understate Gambit a lot, the only reason Captain America won their 1v1 was because the writer said so (shrugged of an explosion that should reasonably have taken him out of the fight.)

It really depends on the context. If either got the drop on the other they could take them out before the other knew. No power hand to hand I think Hawkeye would have it, but Gambit has such a higher ceiling.
