Queen Emma Frost and King Cyclops.

I was going to do that then I settled for it being alphabetical. We can compromise I can't edit the outside of the thread but inside it'll say that. ;P

My fav Cyke pairing. Gets rid of the annoying Wolverine love triangle attached to Jean.

They have always played well off of each other. It was good cop bad cop then bad cop bad cop then a complete reversal of the roles but they do play well of each other.

I'm very mixed on the couple. I do think they are one of Marvel's most unique and dynamic couples, and they had some great chemistry. Much better than Marvel's trademark couples like Sue/Reed or Janet/Hank, ext. However, they have had just as much rough patches as well. I think I enjoyed Scemma under Morrison, Whedon and Claremont best. It wasn't until Fraction and Bendis' era until I completely hated the couple. I felt both individuals became bad for each other. Emma was starting to only be written as Scott's lovesick puppy who can't exist without him and Scott was just written as someone who doesn't care enough to acknowledge her. Bad part on the writers of course.

I demand more Scemma.

I don't think some writers take on them should negate all the actual awesome the two bring forth when they are written well together. I actually think the negative that they have with each other would also work well for their dynamic. The only thing that I wanted from Bendis's break up was for him to use it in interesting ways and though the two break up scenes he wrote had very good moments in them, he just didn't explore their full potential.

I am not against them being apart, but I prefer them together, however I wish that they both deal with their issues if they ever got paired of.

Either way, they're still my fave couple. The fact that it just sort of happened, the fact that they both influenced each other, specially early, the fact they're unconventional. As Bendis's Emma said, when they were good they were as good as it gets.

[AJpyro]

I support Scemma. 100%

[Confuzzled]

Best X-Couple IMO. And possibly best Marvel couple after Peter/MJ.

[Kuwagaton]

I never really had much of an opinion on Emma until Whedon. I grew to really like the couple and think they only seemed a bit much (together or separately) when a writer tried too hard with them. Good to excellent chemistry.

The mutant populace overall IQ has plummeted so low, it's what they deserve.

Well you can only work with what you have unfortunately.
