The X-Men are one of the most recognized and celebrated teams in all of comics. For many reasons the X-Men are beloved. One of those reasons is that despite their superhuman powers most of their interpersonal struggles are very grounded and very real. Allowing the audience to more closely relate to this band of misfits. One of my personal favorite parts of the X-Men are their romantic relationships. When we talk about Jean and Scott you have to also bring up Logan. There is no talking about Rogue without mentioning Gambit. So who is the best X-Men couple? Well first let’s lay down some ground rules; both members of the relationship have to have spent at least most of their time as members of the X-Men. I love Storm and T’Challa too but he is not an X-Man and therefore can not be included on this list.

There are far too many combinations of this team to count. The team has been quite incestuous over the years (sometimes in the most literal of terms). Between a million alternate universes and an almost 100 year timespan some of these relationships obviously didn’t age well. They also tended to have a rotating cast of heroes and therefore you may have noticed that this list mostly focuses on the steadiest of heroes. I chose to focus on only the characters everyone would recognize. As we can see Scott Summers has had the most relationships of any of the other members, and yes most of them were very fraught but really its all Scott’s fault. That will be a different essay though.
