Ditto any other X-Man not already present. As far as the build goes, that black power is extremely gimmicky (read: not useful) and really expensive to boot - a lot of the time you'd just spend a ton of black AP to hurt yourself. The other two seem a little on the overpowered side - any time a CD runs out, he deals damage AND generates AP? If you paired him with Coulson he'd wreck absolutely everything.

Fox has an exclusive licensing contract with Marvel that gives them the sole ability to make film and television products for the X-Men. Otherwise, Marvel can do whatever they want with Gambit in any other type of medium, including allowing his presence in Marvel Puzzle Quest if they so desire.

It is a major reason Marvel all but killed the Fantastic Four around the time of the remake's release, and the reason for the comics slowing of and phasing out of many X-Men in favor of the Inhumans (I.e. The "totally not X-men, for realsies!"). Marvel and Disney have little desire to release characters that could directly benefit one of their main competitors, hence so few X-Men getting released.

The next few months will be Guardians of the Galaxy, anyway.

Instead of the post Secret Wars 3 team books (EXM, UXM, ANXM) and 2 solos (OML & ANW) we now have from RessurXion 5 team books (X-Men Blue, X-Men Gold, Generation X, Weapon X & Astonishing X-Men) aswell as 4 solos (ANW v2, Cable, Jean Grey & Iceman). The Inhumans failed now Marvel are almost exactly doubling their mutant focus.

That's because for the first time in 50 years DC recently grabbed the dominant position in the market share for comic book sales and Marvel came to their senses and realized X-Men are their top selling property.
