Hey guys, so I’ve been noticing in some of my research that the superheroes of the Marvel Universe basically make up the most shameless soap opera ever. Just like in a soap opera, everyone’s dated everyone!
There is a thread here about Avengers’ sex lives, detailing everyone who they’ve done the nasty with, and that’s made me realize a lot more than I knew before. But I wanted to create a separate thread because I’m not just worried about who’s had sex with who, nor every sexual partner they’ve ever had (that thread, for instance, lists each and every random sexual partner an Avenger has had, including “Gary, a guy in college.”)
No, with this, I’m more concerned with any kind of romantic affiliation. Those who have dated each other, had strong feelings for each other, etc. And yes, I’ll include the not-so-romantic dalliances, because it’s hard to separate sex entirely from romance. Heck, chemically speaking, one's mind almost doesn't make a distinction, and in fiction, writers often have it happen to build such tension. And also, this is about how it’s like a soap opera, so if we're honest, it makes it more intriguing.
So I include even "non-romantic" dalliances, unless they're totally forced upon a person or done with deception (like Wolverine being forced to marry Viper [and consumate it] or Mystique disguising herself to get it on with Gambit.
So, compiled below is a list of characters, along with who they’ve had a romance with, with the type of romance listed for, quite frankly, those that I felt like writing about. I also have separate sections under each character for romances in alternate universes or other media.
Only listed are those who have had a thing with more than one superhero, villain, anti-hero, or even a civilian (like Alicia Masters) who has also had a thing with another hero/villain/anti-hero. Those romances are the only ones listed under them. So, for instance, no Mary Jane under Spider-Man (unless I missed an issue where she sleeps with Cyclops). Also, where it was just a matter of someone else having a thing for the person in question, I put “object of affection of…” at the bottom of the list.
That thread had so many characters I’ve never even heard of. I did research on a few of them, but I’m leaving the rest out, so I know this will be fairly incomplete.
I have question marks for things I’m not clear on, and want to know more about. Perhaps you guys can fill me in on anything I’m missing that makes the Marvel Universe even more creepy and weird, just to satisfy my morbid curiosity.
