Best Romance/Kiss of the Year
Many complaints were made by the lack of Gay-romance in the X-books this year, but actually romance was hard to find for anyone in the X-books in 2019. Let us hope love finds it's way back to the X-men in 2020. Good news is that Gambit and Rogue will remain both on Excalibur, there seems to be some flirtation going on between Pete Wisdom and Betsy and between Sunspot and Deathbird. Northstar will bring his husband Kyle along in X-Factor and we see a cover where all Cuckoos seems to be all Bond-girl like towards Kid-Cable. So it all looks promising. Luckely even-though Age of X-Man was not well received, it brought us some unexpected relationships like Nightcrawler/Meggan, Bishop/Jean and Blob/Psylocke. Results for 2019 are;

Blob & Psylocke in Age of X-Man
During Age of X-Man, both Blob as Psylocke were part of the X-Tremists and love was forbidden. But the attraction between Freddie and Betsy was too strong and finally they gave in to it. It would have been fun if they would have kept that strong feeling when all was over (same applies to Bishop/Jean if it was up to me). But as both are starring in different books, we can forget that.

Cyclops & Marvel-Girl
Finally, after decades, they are back together, the year before Jean Frey finally came back to life, only to find out that the love of her live ahad died in the meantime. When they were finally reunited Jean did not doubt a second to walk over to Scott for some serious lip locking. Which clearly put both Logan as Emma in the place where they belong. But that does not make them MMr. & Mrs. X of 2019, nope, that title goes to:

Gambit & Rogue
The couple of 2019 is the same as the previous year. Last year they unexpectedly got married and this year their stories continued in Mr. & Mrs. X and currently they are back on a team, together of course. The adorable couple are stronger than ever and we still see them as the favorite couple. Let us see if they will continue to get this award in 2020 as well.
