he collapsed a giant ferris wheel (i.e., the wonder wheel) taking much of the team out of equation (knowing that they would go to rescue the people on the ride) and defeated wolverine by threatening to explode wolverine's skeleton, which would destroy a large part of the near area. he then proceeded to explode his bo staff in wolverine's mouth, thus giving him enough time to take rogue. the fenris twins felt rogue would be an ideal employee since her powers (which include viewing others’ memories) would be useful for learning others' secrets. however, because of the unethical aspect of the job, rogue refused. in response to seeing the fury of the twins, gambit assisted rogue in subduing the twins, and escaping. as rogue and gambit escape, an enraged wolverine finally tracks them down, beating gambit badly with only his fists, preventing gambit from making contact with his skeleton. rogue stops wolverine from killing gambit and called him the true animal in this situation. afterward, gambit asked rogue to come with him, commenting on how she and he were both alike. rogue agreed and left the x-men with him.
