Gambit and Catwoman

For some reason, I was never really able to get into Gambit as a character.  Maybe it was because he hit the scene just as I was getting out of following the X-Men family of titles, or maybe it was his wonky costume that couldn't seem to decide what it wanted to be.  I think the main thing was his Cajun accent, which most writers tended to over-exaggerate.  I just seemed silly to me.  I do like his power set though, and maybe I only need to read the right story to change my mind.
