Gambit has a very interesting skill/power set. He has superhuman strength, speed, and agility. Plus, each playing card has the explosive force of a hand grenade. A typical hand grenade has a casualty radius of 15 meters, or a 30 meter diameter. There are 52 cards in a deck. He generally rolls with many decks on his person. That's an enormous amount of explosive power in his pockets alone. And that's just his cards. He also has a fighting staff. But he can also charge any object or surface. Imagine Gambit picking up a handful of sand, dirt, glass or gravel, and charging it and throwing it. It would make for a huge multilayered-explosion. Imagine if he fully charged a car or truck. He could flatten multiple city blocks. His charged objects can either explode after a predetermined amount of time, or upon physical contact; depending on his choosing. His ability to charge surfaces gives him the ability to create explosive booby traps at every turn. Gambit is also a master of stealth, due to his enhanced agility and thievery skills.
I would say, if properly written and he fights intelligently, he should be able to take out the likes of Venom, Wolverine, Captain America, Cyclops, Beast, Sabretooth, Daredevil (challenging fight), Carnage, War Machine, Dr. Octopus, The Thing, Strong guy, Wolfsbane, Marrow, Deadpool (by dismemberment), Doc Samson, Black Widow, and Hawkeye (if Gambit gets lucky). That's just off the top of my head.
