Jean-Luc LeBeau (X-Men: Evolution)

Name: Jean-Luc LeBeau.

Age: Possibly late forties, early fifties?

Affiliations: Is patriarch of the Thieves' Guild.

Known relations: Gambit.

Jean-Luc, patriarch of a crime family called the Thieves' Guild, is Gambit's adoptive father. He appeared in only one episode of X-men Evolution, Cajun Spice. In this episode, Jean-Luc is captured by a rival crime family, the Rippers, also known as the Assassins. Gambit, aka Remy LeBeau, saves his father by kidnapping Rogue and using her to gain the location of Jean-Luc. It is revealed in the episode that Jean-Luc only needed Gambit for his powers and thieving abilities in a conversation between the two. After Gambit has just untied Jean-Luc from a chair he had been strapped to, Jean-Luc tells him to wait, saying "We're in de heart of the Ripper's stronghold. Do yo' know what an opportunity dis is? Let's raid dis place and do some real damage! We could ruin they're family." Gambit replies that he doesn't need him for that, and Jean-Luc says "No, I don't. But I do need yo' powers." Later in the episode, Jean-Luc sees Rogue absorb two of the Rippers, exclaiming "She can do all dat wit' jus' a touch of her finger?!" implying that he's thinking of using Rogue the same way he used Gambit. In the end, Rogue goes back to the X-men, and Gambit and Jean-Luc leave
