Which X-Man is "Unluckiest at Love"?

[worstblogever]

Not everyone gets to spend the majority of their time in continuity shacking up with hot redheaded or blonde telepaths, with interims of nailing Colleen Wing and Lee Forrester. Nuh uh.


A lot of the X-Men have terrible romantic histories, where they just can't seem to get things right.


A few examples:

Rogue- Can't touch anybody, and keeps getting jerked around by Gambit.

Wolverine- How many dead girlfriends does this guy have? Seriously.

Iceman - Polaris bails on him for Havok, Nurse Annie jerks him around and leaves for... Havok, Infectia tries to kill him, Opal Tanaka lies to him about having his baby, and Mystique flat-out gives him Nanocrabs and keeps trying to kill him.

Cannonball- He's statutorially raped by Lila Cheney, then hooks up with Boom-Boom (who cheats on him with his best friend), and then has an entire marriage and kids falsified in his mind by Serafina using Lady M to deceive him.

X-23 - Doesn't even know how to process her feelings for Hellion.

Storm- Doesn't marry Forge, despite wanting to. Ends up becoming T'Challa's trophy wife.

Gambit- Married to a woman who wants him dead, and can't touch Rogue.

Jubilee- Doesn't realize she's in love with Skin until he's dead, then contemplates having necrophilic closure by boning his corpse.

Chamber/Decibel- Blows up his first girlfriend, Gayle Edgerton, during their first kiss, and keeps pushing his second love, Husk, away until she ends up as a jailbait squeeze for Warren Worthington.


And so on. Feel free to give your own $0.02 about which X-Man you think is Unluckiest at Love, or thoughts on someone not on this list.

[The Sword Is Drawn]

Wait? Opal had Bobby's kid? When did I miss that? :eek:

And don't forget that Cannonball also had the admiration of Marrow... :D

She didn't. She lied to him about it, in his Marvel "Icons" miniseries. That's what makes him have even worse romantic luck.



Marrow was pretty unlucky at love, herself.

[timbox]

I think Rogue is the easy answer, but Storm has it really bad. BP, ugh.

[Arrogantcur]

I always felt sorriest for Rogue.

But let's not forget about Scott here. He may not be the unluckiest guy in X-lore, but he deserves to be on the list.

First girlfriend seemingly dies. Then he gets her back and she dies again.

In between there was Madelyne, who ended up being a pawn of one of his enemies. (I'm usually the first to defend Maddie against any of her detractors, and believe that she really did have a good reason to turn on Scott. Still, you have to admit that the two of them getting together was "unlucky" for both. Come to think of it, Madelyne is also very unlucky in love.)

Finally he ends up with Emma Frost. And he can do better than Emma!!! Not to mention that the relationship has driven a wedge between him and his daughter. (Hey, now that I mention that, how does Cable feel about Scott and Emma? Scott's his pop too, right?)

[timbox]

Scott is lucky to get any attention at all from Emma. He has nothing to complain about.

[worstblogever]

Warpath has had it kind of rough...

He finds out the hot Latina girl he's hooking up with is trying to exploit their relationship to get him to work for Sledge... he and Siryn had a "not-quite" unrealized relationship... and then, he starts boning an intergalactic cat/skunk lady widow on the rebound...

Not exactly the best of luck, there.

[nikbackm]

Rachel is not his daughter and even if she was, no big loss. Cable on the other hand is not the type to get hangups over things like this. Neither should he considering that he's older than his dad.

[worstblogever]

He never seemed to whine about Jean not being his real mom, either.

[Arrogantcur]

Rachel is not his daughter and even if she was, no big loss.

It's true that the Scott from this timeline didn't actually conceive her, but I always got the impression that the two of them thought of one another as father and daughter following Scott's eventual discovery of her origin.

"No big loss"?!?!!?? Grrr... :evilangry:

Jubilee- Doesn't realize she's in love with Skin until he's dead, then contemplates having necrophilic closure by boning his corpse.

Something tells me that there's a certain degree of exaggeration here.... :rolleyes:

I am sure his thoughts on that matter changed rather quickly when she started throwing tantrums like a spoiled brat. :wink:

[worstblogever]

What are you talking about? Brian Cronin informed me of how it shook down at Skin's funeral. :wink:

[bookguy]

As to Cyclops:

Let's not forget him losing Jean Grey twice (once as Dark Phoenix - by suicide) and twice as Phoenix - killed by Magneto).

Or Madelyine Pryor (the clone).
Or Lee (post-Jean, pre-Madelyine).

The guy's a born loser.
:frown:

:frown:

A loser who's been getting laid regularly since the Silver Age.

Poor, poor Scott.

[frog]

Scott didn't lose Maddie - he up and left!

[OpticBlast]

Iceman, hands down.

The others on the list have had bad romantic relationships, but Bobby is the only one that appears to never ever have anyone that cared for him. He's been used more times than a bench seat at Grand Central Station.

They need to hook him up with someone who cares. It would be interesting to see if he could deal with a serious relationship, given his high immaturity for his age.

[pariah-1972]

Iceman for the win !

[nikbackm]

They can hook him up with Northstar and solve two problems at once.

[worstblogever]

Jean-Paul deserves a man with a better head on his shoulders.

Besides, then Bobby would give Northstar the Nanocrabs he caught from Mystique.

[nikbackm]

Jean-Paul deserves a man with a better head on his shoulders.


At this point I think he'll be perfectly happy with Bobby. It's not as if he's ever had any other prospects?


Besides, then Bobby would give Northstar the Nanocrabs he caught from Mystique.

Depends...

[Saint]

I vote for Wolverine even though I truely believe that the real unluckiest people in X-Men history are the poor Japanese woman stupid enough to hook up with Logan They ALL end up dead.

Run, Jubilee, run!!!!!!

[Charybdis4]

ANY woman who hooks up with Cyclops. They are doomed as soon as his big nipples kick into gear.

You can currently hear the death bell starting to chime over poor old Emma's head.

[worstblogever]

Run, Jubilee, run!!!!!!

Jubilee will be alright, since she's half-Chinese-American.

HISAKO had better run. And Noriko should keep her distance.

[nikbackm]

Some would say that Jubilee is far from alright.

[OpticBlast]

Iceman - Polaris bails on him for Havok, Nurse Annie jerks him around and leaves for... Havok, Infectia tries to kill him, Opal Tanaka lies to him about having his baby, and Mystique flat-out gives him Nanocrabs and keeps trying to kill him.

...and don't forget that he had the hots for Darkstar, who completely rejected him.

[Charybdis4]

Some would say that Jubilee is far from alright.

Post of the year!

[jarrod]

I am sure his thoughts on that matter changed rather quickly when she started throwing tantrums like a spoiled brat. :wink:
Oh, they did!

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w213/jarrodand/rachel/IMG_0012.jpg

[jarrod]

Anyway, the real answer is Maddie. Or Jean. I mean, look what getting involved with Cyke brings... Emma better be watching her back.

[Umbra]

I think Rogue is the easy answer, but Storm has it really bad. BP, ugh.


Yup, being a Queen, Rich,ruling one of the most power nations in the world, and having a huband that other woman including people like Sue Storm and Rogue think is attractive is hell.:rolleyes:

[theardri]

For me it has to be Logan. He falls in love with women who are “taken” who then reciprocate a little (Jean) or don’t see him that way (Rose). He ends up killing them (Mariko in a mercy killing, Rose by mistake), has memories of them being killed (the falsified memory of Silver Fox), gets engaged to international terrorists, or has the whole Jean fetish going on (and she keeps dying on him). Oh and he is apparently most attractive to tween girls (Kitty, Jubes, Armor, Megan etc)

So yeah Logan is for me the unluckiest. But not as unlucky as his girl friends.

[Joe Acro]

There are some X-Men that have never really loved at all.

Not that this necessarily means they're worse off than some of those provided so far.

[worstblogever]

Yup, being a Queen, Rich,ruling one of the most power nations in the world, and having a huband that other woman including people like Sue Storm and Rogue think is attractive is hell.:rolleyes:

Yeah, but Storm never will be ever to fully recover from the love and understanding that only Yukio could give her. Money can't buy Ororo love. And neither can T'Challa.

[maigen]

Rogue is the most tragic. Poor dearie. If only she were ugly it would make it would make it easier on me.

Storm is also up there. She should have someone marrying her for power and prestige not the other way around. Besides she's a goddess. She should be polyamorous and serve as the head matriarch of a group of hot boys.

Then there Iceman. He's sad because he has so many daddy issues he can't express his true sexuality.

I think Cannonball is leaning towards incest. Paige is the only one who really understands him.

Scott deserves anything bad he gets. I pity him not.

[B. Kuwanger]

I would go with an X-Man that has never been in love. That's pretty hard to find, actually, since you know someone like Hisako could easily have a relationship if she wanted to and if she doesn't already. You'd have to look for someone that finds it physically hard to find love, which is even harder because all of the official X-Men have been rendered as supermodels at one point or another.

Nightcrawler is kind of deformed, but he's cashed in as much as any normal guy. I guess I'll settle on Beast, though. He's been with a number of women, but was he ever actually in love? For the past 20 years he's had a furry blue penis, is any woman taking the bait?

[pharoahe22]

Scott was pretty unlucky with Jean dying all the time, and Maddie, but he has Emma now. Wolverine is by far the unluckiest. Rogue can't touch anyone, but at least she does find some sort of relationship every once in a while, like with Gambit. Everyone woman that Wolverine has ever loved dies. Jean? Dead. Mariko? Dead. Itsu? Dead. Rose? Dead. Atlantean Chick? Dead...see a pattern here? lol

[jarrod]

Scott was pretty unlucky with Jean dying all the time, and Maddie, but he has Emma now.
Scott was luckier than his wives have been....

[Kage Kisaragi]

..... *sits fire to this thread*

It's Rogue of course, but the comment about Storm was madding so yeah. *tosses gasoline on to the fire.*

[Dementia5]

Some would say that Jubilee is far from alright.

She's perfectly alright in my book.

Besides, the unluckiest at love would have to be Professor X himself. He hasn't gotten nearly enough play since '63.

[Kage Kisaragi]

his girlfriend or whatever the Shi'ar term for it is very attractive consider her race evolved from birds. lol he can reach out and touch her almost whenever he wants, or when the writers feel its acceptable.

[nikbackm]

his girlfriend or whatever the Shi'ar term for it is very attractive consider her race evolved from birds. lol he can reach out and touch her almost whenever he wants, or when the writers feel its acceptable.

Weren't they divorced?

[Dementia5]

Yeah, but they hardly ever seem to feel it's acceptable.

:rolleyes:

[Kage Kisaragi]

Weren't they divorced?

I thought they were still seeing each other, can you get a divorce from a empress? I mean, one would have to think you still retrain some benefits, if not sexual ones.

[Hi-Fi]

I don't think anyone can get close to Rogue in that aspect.

[jarrod]

I don't think anyone can get close to Rogue in that aspect.
I KNOW! I can't believe she missed out on Longshot either!

[Greg Anderson]

Wait wait wait! Jubilee actually had sex with Skin's corpse?!? In all seriousness? :eek: :eek:

[mythog]

Please do not get angry but why do you all think Rogue is the most unluckiest at love, yea she can't touch but she has had someone who loves her and has stuck by her. Plus they have had periods where they could touch and lived a happy life. All I am saying yes she has had it ruff because of her powers but at least she has had someone who has stayed in love with her no matter what even risked his own life and joined the bad guys just to save her because he does lover her.

[nikbackm]

I thought they were still seeing each other, can you get a divorce from a empress? I mean, one would have to think you still retrain some benefits, if not sexual ones.

I got the impression their marriage was annulled in RaFotSE after which Xavier was imprisoned and tortured.

Sure, they could still see each other of course, but Lilandra might be a bit busy right now.

[worstblogever]

Wait wait wait! Jubilee actually had sex with Skin's corpse?!? In all seriousness? :eek: :eek:


Pssh... No.

She did regret not shagging him in the middle of his funeral, though.

[Arrogantcur]

Nightcrawler is kind of deformed, but he's cashed in as much as any normal guy. I guess I'll settle on Beast, though. He's been with a number of women, but was he ever actually in love? For the past 20 years he's had a furry blue penis, is any woman taking the bait?

Oh man, I'd forgotten about Hank.

Trish Tilby is pretty sweet on the eyes, but she really tore the guy's heart out in a Morrison-penned New X-Men issue shortly after the mutation he underwent in X-Treme X-Men. Let's go over it...

First, she dumped him over the phone.

Second, she did it on an answering machine or voice mail.

Third, she told him that she was dumping him because the tabloids were calling their relationship "bestiality", which was probably the thing that hurt him the most even though I'm mentioning it second-last.

Fourth (and this might be just bad luck in general instead of love-related misfortune, but it certainly made Hank's night even worse), right after that happened he got attacked by Cassandra Nova, who did everything she could to pour salt into the fresh wound using both taunts and telepathy.

Just for what he went through on that one night, Hank McCoy is very unlucky in love! :frown:

Pssh... No.

She did regret not shagging him in the middle of his funeral, though.

Are you saying that Jubes regretted that she didn't shag him while he was alive, or that she regretted not shagging him while he was in the coffin with all the mourners watching? It's important that we know where the emphasis is in that sentence, WBE!!!! :tongue:

[worstblogever]

Trish Tilby is a succubus. Were it not for Beast's current turn of luck with an awesome girlfriend, I'd totally agree.

But he is being tampered with. :wink:

Husk (Paige Guthrie)

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/8/8b/250px-HuskUXM.jpg

First, her relationship with Jono/Chamber was on and off and well, like Nurse Annie said (that psycho bitch), what kind of girl wants a guy a girl can't kiss? They had something, it eventually ended, and they made a cute couple.

Then she had Angel/ Warren Worthington. Of course you'd expect it to end after shagging in front of her own mother, plus he is a billionaire. She got left after a while but Warren was busy being a nillionaire, flirting with various women, even the mayor of San Francisco. Nice to see them together again (Secret Invasion: X-men), but dammit, he's a billionaire and he just moves on without her, she doesn't deserve that...

[Dementia5]

Wait wait wait! Jubilee actually had sex with Skin's corpse?!? In all seriousness? :eek: :eek:

Of course not. She simply expressed a regret that she hadn't been with him while he was alive.

[marvell2100]

Uuhhh, all of them? Especially the ones that are dead. And Kitty whose still "Lost In Space".

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!

[eurazn]

She (Husk) got left after a while but Warren was busy being a nillionaire, flirting with various women, even the mayor of San Francisco. Nice to see them together again (Secret Invasion: X-men), but dammit, he's a billionaire and he just moves on without her, she doesn't deserve that...

$10 says the spurned mayor of San Francisco turns into the Goblyn Queen or aligns herself with the Purifiers for revenge.

As for the thread subject, I vote for Dazzler. She dated/married a guy who lost his memory at least three times. Imagine being separated from the man you love only to be reunited and discover he doesn't remember your name, much less your relationship! She spent 15 (comic book) years fighting her husband's war instead of cultivating her own life and pop career only for the relationship to break up in the end anyway because of his skanky tendencies AND lack of memory!

Oh boy! She fell for the ol', "I don't remember you so I can have sex with other people" ploy. Works everytime.

[Agent_Torpor]

BEAN. Sowing the seeds of truth is a lonely task.

[eurazn]

Oh boy! She fell for the ol', "I don't remember you so I can have sex with other people" ploy. Works everytime.

That Dazzler was a skrull. The same skrull that later turned out to be Longshot :tongue:

[newscott]

Rogue.

Put aside all the Gambit stuff. It's rote. It's tragic.

She failed with Longshot. 'Shot chose Dazzler over her, even though Rogue was way less prissy, way more down to earth, and tried to have fun.

There was that whole thing with Joseph.

Her first boyfriend, Cody, never spoke to her again.

She's walking heartbreak.

[Canemacar]

Rogue brings all that crap on herself. She has no excuse to moan inceasently about not being able to touch when the X-men have force on speed-dial.

[pariah-1972]

Northstar (well the 616 one)
He has never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend as far as i know , probably cause they are too busy killing him off.

[creaky]

Gotta be Logan.

[oneshyguy46]

I would have to say Rogue. She's the only one that cant be intimate with anyone. She cant even kiss her love one. =[

[Monty_Cristo]

the woman Shortpack was in love with was trapped in the body of a dude and tried several times to kill him.

[Slant]

I'm not so sure about Rogue. Yeah, she can't touch, but somehow, she gets a guy like Gambit to go steal babies for her, and otherwise act like a complete dope over her.

Not too bad, all things considered.

[worstblogever]

And Rogue's had a few occasions where her powers have been off and she's gotten to ride the Cajun love train to the brink of dawn.

Seriously, Gambit developed a secondary mutation to "resist chafing" during those times.

[Cerridwen]

Marrow probably.

[Greg Anderson]

Marrow probably.

Didn't her and Spidey have a bit of attraction or whatever at some point?

[justinkos91]

Northstar
He wants Bobby so bad :frown:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/khirsah/Comic%20Scans/X-Men/Bobby%20and%20JeanPaul/8.jpg

[pariah-1972]

I sort of liked nurse annie before she started sleeping around.

[Grunty]

Marrow probably.

If you ask me she isn't unlucky at love, just unlucky at life.

I would say Wolverine. That guy is 200 years old which means he might have loves which have long turned to dust.
Considering that he nowdays (after House of M) can remember anything from his past. The List of unlucky loves must be pretty high.

[maigen]

And Rogue's had a few occasions where her powers have been off and she's gotten to ride the Cajun love train to the brink of dawn.

Priceless, my dear. Simply priceless.

[x_goalkeeper]

I was tempted to say Logan... but he's had a lot in his past, dead or otherwise.

How about Kitty? One-man girl who unfortunately is either dying or deserting her when she's not trapped in a bullet.

[Gnarl]

Magneto. over 80 years old, three realtionships. One ended with his wife running away from him calling him a monster, one with the girl bleeding out on him before he even got to do anything. Just one normal one.

[jmc247]

I would say Logan.

[Shaid O Gray]

I'd say Rogue.......BUT:

It is rather weird that she doesn't simply switch her power off through technological means. It's been established that everyone and their sister can apparently do that. Wolverine just shut her powers down in the Danger Room when he tested her. (Wow that sounded far lass naughty in my head)

And even if you want to ignore that, you can't tell me Forge can't whip up a power inhibitor in 5 minutes over lunch.I know they're trying to keep the angst going, but it's kinda hard to swallow after so many examples of power dampening technology.

(And even then, a catsuit with a carefully placed zipper and a condom could also do miracles, I'm sure...)

The Neutralizer was still out there after Storm got hit with it. Mystique used it on Wolfsbane. Not to mention, Dr. Agee's project, to build a machine to do the same. Rogue and Mystique both destroyed it together, though, for fear that it would be used to depower mutants against their will.

[x_goalkeeper]

Rogue & Gambit with Scrambler in vicinity. Problem solved for Rogue?

[Shaid O Gray]

Well Ultimate Rogue used to say she felt like she was being punisher for some sin or curse and thats why she didn't get a cure.

Yeah but Ultimate Rogue has uber-religious tendencies the 616 Rogue never had. There were hints that 616 Rogue may have been beaten and/or abused as a kid and that that was a cause of her lack of power control, but then later writers completely dumped that, making it pretty much just a mystery why Rogue can't control it but Carol in her body could.

The Neutralizer was still out there after Storm got hit with it. Mystique used it on Wolfsbane. Not to mention, Dr. Agee's project, to build a machine to do the same. Rogue and Mystique both destroyed it together, though, for fear that it would be used to depower mutants against their will.

I know, but I wasn't referring to the actual Neutralizer weapon Storm got hit with. Or Agee's machine, which were both permanent cures. (Or intended so anyway). I'm just talking about a temporary on-off power dampener. Apart from every other villain apparently owning that technology (Magneto, Genosha, the Australia Tongs, etc) Wolverine also apparently switched her power off with the touch of a button, establishing the X-Men themselves have it as well.

You'd think they'd let her use it for some nooky.

Rogue & Gambit with Scrambler in vicinity. Problem solved for Rogue?

Ooonly if they really don't mind that creepy twerp watching them as they do it... Unless they knock him out cold.:cool:

[Hi-Fi]

Guys, we need to visit Rogue's mind to find the answer. She still feels guilty about her criminal life and what she did to Carol Danvers to allow herself to have any happiness that isn't momentary. She sabotages every chance she gets to be powerless. She broke Dr. Agee's machine, she didn't stop the X-Men from reverting the High Evolutionary move or Loki from reverting them back to what they were, she asked Sage to jumpstart her powers again. Let's not forget what we just learned in Legacy. Xavier basically told her that she has to prove herself before getting her prize. That's why she can't control her powers, but Carol can. It's psychological.

I do believe, though, that she finally had enough. After reading that scene with Anna in the Outback, I'd say she's ready to do this. And she won't take no as an answer.

[jarrod]

Rogue had her chance at true happiness with Pulse. The bitch threw it and him away! :frown:


*weeps*

Excellent points. And a good bet this is exactly where Carey is heading, if the recent flashback revelation is an indication. My only problem is that it starts her trauma at Carol. Why wasn't she able to control her powers before that?

I suppose the argument could be made that Cody Robbins was an accident and that freaked her out so much it threw her off on her power from the start. (Later attempts with that Freddie kid didn't help, I'm sure. And let's ignore the title from that story being 'Her first and last', since he was clearly the second at best.:biggrin: )

Now....any guesses as to HOW she's going to do this? Just through some powerful Self-Dr-Philling?

[Omegastorm]

Please do not get angry but why do you all think Rogue is the most unluckiest at love, yea she can't touch but she has had someone who loves her and has stuck by her. Plus they have had periods where they could touch and lived a happy life. All I am saying yes she has had it ruff because of her powers but at least she has had someone who has stayed in love with her no matter what even risked his own life and joined the bad guys just to save her because he does lover her.I don't feel bad for Rogue. THere is literally enough technology out there to negate her powers and so that she can hump like a rabbit. She chooses not to keep a sentinel collar or some other device around to negate her powers.

Bobby on the other hand, is tragic. I think Chuckles is up there too. But bobby takes the cake.
