Gambit By A Mile

As you can see by the poll results up at the top left, it was never a contest: Gambit "won" in a landslide, and it was never close.

That does surprise me a little bit. As I said earlier, I've never really had any history with either character, which is why I had to have the poll. But after all the outcries of lameness when Meltzer put Geo-Force onto his JLA, I would have expected the doofus to rank higher.

But apparently, nothing can surpass the level of bile and disgust you guys have for Gambit. Hmmm, you learn something new everyday.

So, all hail Gambit, King Of The Lame!!

Thanks to everyone who voted in the Gambit/Geo-Force Lame-Off.

Manic Monday--Clash Of Titans!!

You know who people hate?

Man, an awful lot of people out there hate Geo-Force. He's got to be nearly universally reviled as lame.

I've never really read The Outsiders or other comics featuring him, so I can't say that I get it. I'm not defending him...I'm just saying that as a relatively independent and casual observer, I don't see what makes him any lamer than any number of other contemporary DC creations.

But Marvel has their own spite magnet:

Gambit. Troll "Gambit" and "lame" on Google, and you'll find tens of thousands of hits. Again, I'm not sure why. I was done with the X-Men by the time the Cajun mutant showed up. And to my civilian eye, he seems no lamer than, say Bishop.

But far be it from me to question the wisdom of my fellow comics fans. Especially when I need you. You see, my lack of knowledge here leaves me spectacularly unprepared to answer the impossibly important question:

WHO IS LAMER--GEO-FORCE OR GAMBIT?!?



That's one that only you, my faithful readers, can answer. So help me out, vote in the poll over at the top of the sidebar, and let me know--who is really lamer?
