The Massive Marvel Soap Opera

[Slimybug]

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.


EDIT: This list now features things added or subtracted via the discussion below.

First, the X-Men, because these disgusting freaks deserve their own section (and lots of group therapy)

So you see what I mean, right? These people are SICK!!!!

[Rosebunse]

You forget that everyone in Marvel is also, probably, also rated.

[Crimz]

Just some more for you:

AU Sue Storm's:

Ben Grimm
Black Panther (definite attraction in Marvel Knights)
Black Bolt
Namor (actually married)
Captain America (hinted at in Marvel Adventures Superheroes)
Dr. Doom

Johnny Storm:

There's the interesting case of Daken...

Question: Where did the Johnny and Carol thing come from? I've never heard of it.

AU Johnny:

Reed Richards
Janet Van Dyne

AU Wanda Maximoff:

Quicksilver (barf)

[Slimybug]

Question: Where did the Johnny and Carol thing come from? I've never heard of it.

Someone said that they had a "fling,"or went out a few times, nothing serious.

Just some more for you:

AU Sue Storm's:

Ben Grimm
Black Panther (definite attraction in Marvel Knights)
Black Bolt
Namor (actually married)
Captain America (hinted at in Marvel Adventures Superheroes)
Dr. Doom

Johnny Storm:

There's the interesting case of Daken...

Question: Where did the Johnny and Carol thing come from? I've never heard of it.

AU Johnny:

Reed Richards
Janet Van Dyne

AU Wanda Maximoff:

Quicksilver (barf)

Question: Do you mean that the attraction between Sue and Black Panther, and wit Cap, was IN those AUs, or are you listing AUs with them as a couple, and also letting me know that they had attraction in 616 in those titles?

Do you know what specifically any of those AUs are? As you can see, I don't even have all of the ones I listed specified.

[Matternativ]

Spider Woman is currently in a relationship with Roger [INSERT SECOND NAME HERE] aka Porcupine.

I don't remember Clint with She Hulk but I guess you could include his wife from the Ultimate Comics and the Movies which is the same one I think.
Also: Him having sex with Wanda was kind of retconned but leaves room to interpretation.

Bobbi Morse is currently with Peter Parker.

[Miles To Go]

Bobbi Morse is currently with Peter Parker.

While an alternate reality Peter's still with Mary Jane over in Renew Your Vows and the ASM newspaper strip

[Dragonick]

For a guy with so many obvious downsides to being with him Logan has been with a lot of people.

[WhichDrWhowins]

Invisible Woman indeed Sue Storm...

[Slimybug]

Bobbi Morse is currently with Peter Parker.

Oh my goodness, where does it end???

[Xelossik]

Logan and Rogue
they were affected by Golgotha
I don't think that we should use this

Rogue kissed Deadpool

[Zero Hunter]

Nightcrawler was also involved with Amanda Sefton and Cerise

[tsaimelemoni]

Elektra and Punisher were together while on the Thunderbolts together, and she and Logan slept together after fighting the Hand in Enemy of the State.

[Slimybug]

Logan and Rogue
they were affected by Golgotha
I don't think that we should use this

Rogue kissed Deadpool

I've never read the issue, but I was informed that Golgotha made the feelings that were present before be brought out and admitted.

When did Rogue kiss Deadpool? What I found in a google search was an alternate-universe, and even then it was just him giving her his healing factor, and doing it in his typical, flirtatious way, not exactly a love interest.
