XM #58] Why was Gambit visiting the Morlocks shrine on the anniversary of their slaughter?
Mystery: On the anniversary of The Mutant Massacre, Storm, former leader of the Morlocks, visited a shrine in the Morlock Tunnels, where hundreds of candles were lit in memory of the deceased. However, Storm was surprised that Gambit was there as well, though he wasnt even an X-Man at the time of the incident or involved. No explanation was given as to why Gambit attended. Resolution: It would later be revealed in Uncanny X-Men #350 that Gambit actually was involved in The Mutant Massacre. In truth, he was the one hired by Sinister to recruit the members of the Marauders, the group that slaughtered the Morlocks. Even though Gambit had no idea what Sinister was using them for, he was the one who led the Marauders into the Morlock Sewers and felt responsible for what happened afterwards. He was horrified to discover that they had come to murder the innocent mutants, and before he ran away, Gambit was able to save one Morlock child, Sarah, who would grow up to become Marrow.
