These aren't mutually exclusive! Just make it so each object can hold a certain amount of kinetic energy, so a can of beans can be charged further than, say, a playing card. Doesn't even really require retconning, just specifying the bounds of his mutation.

Huh. For some reason I thought Gambit's power was simply to convert matter into energy, not charge stuff up.

No, you see, first you charge da card den you blew it up

But that's already his power though, he just takes longer to charge up more massive objects.

Gambit's powers are already supposed to be that the bigger the object the bigger the explosion - it just takes longer to charge them and that's why he carries small objects he can charge instantly.

Also, even before his mutation, he was probably the kind of guy to practice throwing cards.

I thought the idea was that once the van exploded, the individual beans would spray out and explode on contact, like bomblets.

Good luck with your depression!
Gambit's power should be retconned so that beans, and only beans, are way way more explosive than anything else forcing to switch to an entirely bean-centric lifestyle.

That's always been the case. It takes him longer to charge larger objects, but bigger ones always 'splode more. He uses cards because he can charge them nearly instantly and a pack of them fits in a coat pocket. Also it's cool.

Edit: Oh there's another page where I was mercilessly beaten.

DC's Gunfire shamelessly stole Gambit's powers and it worked like suggested, that every item had a specific amount of stored energy. I do recall Gambit on occasion being able to overcharge and item for a bigger blast but it was dangerous to himself.

It looks like he's just staring at the pot as Thing from the Addams Family pops up to give him a taste.
