Romance-M and Manifold
Team up-Emma and Squirrel Girl
Nightcrawler and Daredevil would be an awesome team-up too

Was Rachel ever considered "a Jean offshoot" before Morrison killed Jean and Rachel decided to honour her mom and annoy her dad by calling herself Rachel Grey? Sure, she had the same powers and the hair colour as Jean but apart from that she was always a distictive character on her own right.
Is Cable considered an offshoot of Cyclops? They're both stoic, militaristic leaders with complicated, slashworthy relationships with violent, Canadian supersoldiers.
I only read comics. Have fun with your "games".
Everyone has low points but Excalibur era Rachel was a more provoking and compelling character than any era of Jean. So was Uncanny era Marelyne tbh. With both it did feel like Claremont was doing some things reminiscent of or derived from Jean but doing it all so much better and adding so much other good stuff as well with each of them. Calling either "Jean lite" just tells me have no real understanding of any of these 3 characters.
Of course Jean's best probably wasn't under Claremont either. It was either Simonson or Morrison imo. And I'll agree she was pretty great then too.
I should have been specific lol. I meant romantic pairings. BUT I like some of these regular team-up ideas, so I included that in the OP!

I made the case before in a Spider-Man thread and I stick by it: Spider-Man and Emma Frost, romantically or just as a team up. Their personalities are different enough to both clash, but also complement each other. Spidey (like Cyclops back in the day) is an idealist, Emma is pragmatic. One is a corn ball, the other is a "snob." For fiction writing, couples always seem to benefit from a bit of a Yin and Yang. (Obviously Scott and Emma were different types, as is Peter and MJ) Seeing the two interact together can be hilarious.
However, despite the personality differences, characters have shared experiences though. Both were bullied in high school. Both started off as very selfish individuals before tragedy struck and changed their m.o. (Peter's loss of Uncle Ben, Emma's loss of the Hellions) Both had careers as school teachers at some point in their lives. Both graduated from E.S.U. Peter's a genius inventor and Emma back in the day was no slouch. Think how Parker Industries would have benefited if Pete let someone with Emma's aptitude for running a business manage day to day operations. (Not to mention her psychic abilities would have easily flushed out the various corporate spies that seem to have plagued the company during Slott's run.
Besides, "Marvel Adventure" Emma Frost was totally crushing on him!

If I had to pair Gambit with anyone outside of the X-Universe it would be Black Cat.
I can already see the story. They both go to steal something and end up fighting a crime boss, while at the sametime flirting and saving lives.
