Just saw this post on Instagram (Shout-out to roguegambit97) comparing Deathbit and Gambit and how they treat Rogue and holy crap- there are some major differences let me tell ya
Starting with Gambit. He's sweet, charming, playful and can be an absolute badass on the battlefield. When it comes to Rogue, he's absolutely in love with her. He'd do anything to keep her safe. He's never controlling, yes he may push boundaries playfully, but always respects Rogue's choices in the long run. No matter how much it hurts him.
Even when Kurt suggested in Genosha he should marry Rogue, Gambit still didn't want to pressure her into something she may not have wanted. He told Rogue himself in Genosha that he would wait for her.
But then there's Deathbit. Yes, he's still somewhat charming and absolutely DEADLY (pun intended) on the battlefield. But when it comes to Rogue? That respectful side of Gambit is gone. (I know he's somewhat possessed/corrupted by Apocalypse at this point, but just ignore that for now)
He's absolutely OBSESSED with Rogue, so much that it even scared Rogue herself. Because this wasn't the Remy she fell for. Deathbit is dangerously possessive of her, immediately kidnapping her and planning a wedding, not giving Rogue a choice at all. (Even going as far as kidnapping Kurt, because he doubles as a priest as well, I honestly thought that was kinda funny ngl 😂)
He immediately took matters into his own hands, not even hesitating when he sent the (undead?) Guild and Kurt on his own team. He killed that goddess lady (can't remember her name TwT) and forced that crystal upon Rogue without a second thought. That part actually scared me a bit ngl.
In the long run, Gambit and Deathbit are two sides of the same card. While Gambit is the preferred side with his charming yet mostly respectful ways, Deathbit is the controlling toxic side with many red flags. You do not want that in a partner.
I feel like when Gambit regains consciousness and is Apocalypse-free, he is going to be absolutely MORTIFIED on what he had done to Rogue while being stuck in the Deathbit persona.
Hopefully the two can make-up for their mistakes, then make out 😆
