At age 13, he is sent by T'Challa, by Storm's advise, to the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. His ability to increase his muscle mass causes several injuries, leading T'Challa to cover Abidemi with Vibranium in order to prevent him from over-exerting. Finding other students from the Institute distracting, Abidemi turns into meditating and a focused lifestyle. His pacifist nature gives him the codename Gentle and he enters Storm's squad. In the present, Grey helps Abidemi with his constant nightmares and scary visions. Grey understands his pain is a subconscious mechanism to prevent himself from using his powers after suffering physical violence from his mother. Following their final session, Grey asks for Abidemi's help to rescue Khatri in India. In a post-credits scene, Gambit fails to stop a crazed man from killing a woman mutant.
