Avengers' Relationships

[AllisterH]

EDIT Wow..it's been almost three years and this thread still gets updated with new info...So I decided to update the opening posts with the new info as of the 1st of January, 2011. Names in bold are new additions and got rid of some speculations as well if they hadn't been confirmed

On the new avengers board, there was a nice post detailing the love life of the Avengers. Thought it would be cool to post it here (and boy, do the Avengers like their sex).

Thor: Aside from being raped by Moondragon, in modern times, Thor's only been with the Enchantress and the Valkyrie (the Blood and Thunder-era one, not either of the Defenders ones). And I seem to recall her being just his hallucination. Possibly Lorelei , too. Mythologically, Sif is Thor's lover, but they've never slept together in modern/Marvel times. In ancient times, Thor loved and slept with classic-Valkyrie when both of them were in different human personas as Siegfried and Brunhilde in ancient times (3+?).
EDIT: Here's a question about Thor. I know Jane Foster and Thor did the deed in other continuities (the most recent Thor limited series for example) but is there any onscreen 616 evidence that Thor slept with Jane Foster or even if Blake slept with Foster?

Yellowjacket: Maria Pym/Wasp/Tigra/Skrull-Hank. Ian Watson adds "possibly that scientist/manager woman who started out pretending to be his lab assistant but turned out to be running a research company for Ultron." (Alice Nugent), but that sounds like an outside chance at best. (3)
EDIT:Another possibility is Jocasta as many people think there was something going on there in EMH but no smoking gun panel to point to though...

Wasp: Hank Pym. Hawkeye. Tony Stark and Paladin have been speculated, but there's no evidence to say so (although a lot of you certainly seem to think so...). Ditto various unnamed guys during her time in Europe (as mentioned in flashback in the Giant-Man miniseries). Her willingness to have casual sex with Hawkeye lends more support to the other speculations (2+)

Hulk/Bruce Banner: Angela Lipscome (or whatever her name was from the Jenkins run, she was Banner's college girlfriend), Betty Banner, Nadia Blonsky and Rick Jones' future wife Marlo, too, during the "Mr Fixit" days (during which Hulk was quite the banned word). Hulkie was also raped by one of the Maestro's harem-girls while immobilised, too. Jarella's also been suggested, but I've seen that heavily disputed before. X-foe Selene is also speculated. Caeira. Umar of the Dark Dimension. SHIELD agent Kate Waynesborough. Monica Rapaccini(LOTS)
EDIT: Personally I'm kinda amused that the big green monster seems to get so much tail. He's doing as well as Hawkeye at least

Iron Man: Tony Stark is the #1 slut of the Avengers, with a list that includes no less than Sunset Bain, Meredith McCall(?), Madame Masque, Marriane Rodgers, Bethany Cabe, Kathy Dare, Veronica Benning, Black Widow, Mantis (still want that to be the Space Phantom?, Pepper Potts (Heroes Reborn version), Countess De La Spiroza, Calista Hancock and Rumiko Fujikawa. Plus Wasp and Tigra are speculated, but unconfirmed, too. (12+, and that's a conservative guess). Pepper Pots (616 version as well), Black Widow II (Yelena), She-Hulk, Emma Frost, Jessica Drew and Maria Hill. Nicole and Sheila, from Marvel Comics Presents

EDIT: So in 3 years, Stark has added at least 8 women to his count....Damn and people think Tigra gets around?

Rick Jones: Marlo, Epiphany, Major Vron-Ikka and possibly some of his Microverse groupies. I'm also seeing Lou-Ann Savannah named. Proof/evidence/facts, anyone? (2+)

Captain America: Peggy Carter, Betsy Ross/Golden Girl, Sharon Carter, Bernie Rosenthal, Connie Ferarri and even Blind Al from Deadpool have all been speculated, but none confirmed, as Cap has to represent both pure and wholesome virgin Americans and the H*ll-bound living-in-sin ones. And also those who sleep with robots, it now seems. Diamondback (at the least, the LMD version if not the real one), Sharon Carter.
EDIT: Should Bernie be moved to definite or still leave as a possibility....I'm personally thinking of removing Blind Al given that this revelation took place in a deadpool book.

Hawkeye: Eden, Black Widow, Mockingbird, Maryanne Sherbrook, Wasp, Moonstone, Shiela Danning, Scarlet Witch, Echo
EDIT: When did we get confirmation that Moonstone actually slept with Hawkeye...I thought this was still heresy on Moonstone's part.

Quicksilver: Crystal (1)

Scarlet Witch: Vision, and Wonder Man. Hawkeye
EDIT:Doom? Given that apparently they are at the least engaged.

Swordsman: Mantis is all we know (1+?)

Hercules: In ancient times, he had multiple wives (Hebe, Megara and Daeinara) also slept with Hippolyta . Black Widow, She-Hulk, Snowbird, Namora are all confirmed. Queen Alfphyse. .. plus the various groupies the new Aphrodite was going around to talk with after Herc "died". (LOTS)
EDIT: Should Northstar be added? I thought the scene in question was more of Northstar making a joke than actual confirmation.

Black Panther: Nikki Adams, Monica Lynne, Storm (2+?)

Vision: Scarlet Witch and Mantis (2)
I'm not listing the Gatherer Jocasta from their encounter in his first miniseries, since she's built like the AlbinoVision.

Black Knight: Possibly Sersi,. (?)

Black Widow: Red Guardian II*, Hawkeye, Daredevil, Iron Man, and some guy in her Marvel Fanfare story (Michael Corcoran.) Hercules is also speculated. Bucky(5+)
EDIT: You know...Black Widow regularly gets tagged with the slut label but this doesn't seem like a lot of people...

Mantis: Swordsman, Vision, That, and she was working as a hooker . (LOTS)

Beast: Like Hercules, was all about the groupies. Trish Tilby. His early-X-Men-era girlfriend Vera is speculated, too. Agent Abigail Brand(LOTS)

Moondragon: Raped Thor. Now with Rick Jones' wife Marlo (1+) Heather is currently involved with Phyla, although they have not yet had any sexual relations.

Hellcat: Mad-Dog and Daimon Hellstrom. (2)

Whizzer: Miss America (1)

Two-Gun Kid: Nancy Carter, his wife who died in childbirth.

Wonder Man: Tigra, Enchantress, Scarlet Witch. . (2+)

Warbird:Col. Rossi and Mike Barnett are supposedly the most likely two, and she's been pretty much celibate since Marcus raped her. There's an outside chance of Wolverine given the recent Wolverine Handbook claimed they were lovers. (?)

Falcon: Had a long-term girlfriend Leila, no idea how close they were. And then there's his pimp days... (?) Sam is currently sleeping with Agent Ali Morales.

Jocasta: . (0)

Tigra: Stark's opposite number, with Bill Nelson, Wonder Man, Hank Pym, Balkatar, some random guy from her miniseries, Cage*, and possibly Tony Stark. Moon Knight is heavily speculated, too. Also threw herself at Jarvis/Graviton/US Agent, but I don't think she got anywhere with them. Skrull Hank-Pym (5+)
EDIT: For someone who is considered Ton'y opposite number, she's not exactly throwing her favours around. In 3 years she only has 1 new addition and this is a character who in the past 3 years has been in monthly comics pretty much non-stop.

She-Hulk: Starfox, Cage, . Wyatt Wingfoot , Zapper Ridge, Mika, John Jameson, various one-night stands, Tony Stark, Clay Quartermain, Hercules, Richard Rory. (5 +)
EDIT: I took off Juggernaut as apparently it was a dimension double that did the deed but this is more like what I expected Tigra's list to be like. Jen likes spreading her legs

Captain Marvel: Una? Elysius? Princess Annelle (2?)

Photon: Brother Voodoo

Starfox: She-Hulk, Heater Delight and legions of alien women (LOTS). Demonika, presumably.

War Machine: Marcy Pearson, and the woman whose name he forgot in The Crew #1. Rae LaCoste and possibly Officer Marcy Howard (2+)

Mockingbird: Ka-Zar and Hawkeye are all we know. The Phantom Rider raped her. (2+)

Moira Brandon: 0 (?)

Thing: Alicia Masters and the She-Thing, when they were both human. Possibly "that idealized female version of himself from beyonder's battleworld during his Rocky Grimm Space Ranger days" (Tara), Carlotta LaRosa. (2+).

Firebird: (0)

Sub-Mariner: Dorma (maybe not—she was killed before their wedding), Marrina, And Llyra, while she was disguised as the Invisible Woman, and "some pirate woman from a Marvel Fanfare issue". Possibly Betty Prentiss? (4+), Emma Frost

Dr Druid: !Terminatrix, ShadowWoman and Nekra. plus the woman who is Druid's mother from Secret Warriors(3+)

Moon Knight: His partner Marlene, possibly Tigra (1-2)

Marrina: Sub-Mariner and "the Plodex tentacle-thing" (2)

Yellowjacket II:[/B] Possibly Irish Wolfhound in the GoTG future, and something with Wonder Man/Hollywood, (was it there and then in the GoTG future, or was it supposed to be in his past/her [never-happened] future?). (?)

D-Man: (?)

Gilgamesh: Nothing known(?)

Mr Fantastic: (1)
Invisible Woman: (1)
Alyssa Moy for Reed as they WERE engaged.

Quasar: Kayla Ballantine is speculated, but seems highly unlikely. (?)

US Agent: Possibly Kali Vries

Human Torch I: Ann Raymond and Spitfire both speculated (?) He slept with Llyra in the guise of Phoebe Marrs (1+?)

Sersi: In modern times, possibly Black Knight? In the recent Eternals series a character commented that Sersi had slept with all of the male Eternals except Sprite (?)

Spider-Man: Mary-Jane, Black Cat, Michelle (1-2).

Stingray: his wife Diane (1)

Machine Man: (0)

Rage: (0)

[AllisterH]

Previous post got cut off...

Sandman: (?)

Living Lightning: Had his girlfriend Mona sleeping with him at the AWC compound. Strongly suggested that he was sleeping with his previous girlfriend Asuka too (1-2)

Arachne: Her ex-husband Larry. No evidence either way on Moonraker. Heavy implication with Shroud (1)

Crystal: Quicksilver, and Norm the estate agent. Despite the bashing of her, she didn't sleep with the Black Knight (you'd be missing the whole point of that storyline to think they had, too). Johnny Storm, Sentry and she is married to Ronan the accuser now(5?)

Thunderstrike: His ex-wife Marcy Masterson-Steele. Also implied that he slept with Jackie Lukas/Bloodaxe (1+?)

Darkhawk: Turbo from the Loners (1)

Swordsman II: Magdalene, and possibly the Mantis from his timeline (who looked like Moondragon) (1+?)

Deathcry: Outside chance of Hercules (?)

Magdalene: Swordsman II, possibly Proctor (1-2?)

Justice: Ultra-girl (0)

Firestar: (0)

Triathlon: (0)

Silverclaw: No-one we know of (?)

Jack of Hearts: Marcy Kane during his days on Earth, but wasn't getting anywhere with space-nun Ganymede thanks to his power-problems and her choosing to hunt Tyrant over being with him. (1)

Ant-Man II: His ex-wife (Peggy), and Jessica Jones from Alias. Prison-style. Still lusts after the Purple Man? (2?)

Captain Britain II: Her ex-husband. There was also a man who attempted to rape her, but as far as we know she fought him off.

Luke Cage: Married to Jessica Jones. She-Hulk, Tigra, Jessica Drew, Harmony. Possibly Dr. Claire Temple.

Spider-Woman: Luke Cage, apparently. Jerry Hunt (SHIELD agent), David Ishima (her landlord), that other Hydra guy (I forget his name but he was in Marvel Spotlight #32) She accidentally killed her boyfriend at 17 whose name escapes me at the moment. Jared was a romance when she was with HYDRA however he was ordered to start a romance with her so it was a one-sided love affair.

Sentry: His wife, Lindy. Crystal, Rogue

Wolverine: It's probably easier to ask "Who hasn't Logan slept with?" Definites include Mystique, Tiger Tyger, Domino, The Native, some un-named woman from the Wolverine/Cable one-shot, and someone-whose-name-I-forget from the second Wolverine/Punisher miniseries, un-named mother of his un-named child from the Savage Land". Flex from Alpha Flight was supposed to be his son as well, but they never got around to actually saying so in the comics. The full list would likely surpass Tony Stark and steal his title as the Easiest Avenger. (6+, at a very conservative guess)

Possibly Mariko, Viper, Silver Fox, Warbird and Storm? Despite speculation and the cravings of the worst elements of fandom, Wolverine hasn't slept with Jean Grey and/or The Phoenix.

EDIT: After this point, everyone has been added to the Avengers since my initial post back in 2007.
Echo: Clint Barton. I've seen Mat Murdock and Wolverine speculated, but no one has been able to confirm one way or the other.

Iron Fist: Misty Knight

Dr. Strange: Clea. Night Nurse. Various women from his pre-magic days (such as his nurse, and a woman named Kimberly).

Ares: the mother of his son. Aphrodite.

Bucky: Black Widow

Young Vision: Possibly Cassie. He may also have the old Vision's memories of being with Wanda and Mantis.

Stature: Its been implied that she and Vision may be lovers, but not confirmed.

Jessica Jones: Luke Cage, Scott Lang, Clay Quartermain, Sean (the cop from ALIAS #11-14). Probably more, since it was suggested she went through a lot of men during her self-loathing period prior to dating Ant-Man.

Iron Patriot: his late wife Emily. Gwen Stacy. Lily Hollister

Moonstone: Hawkeye. Murray Collins. Noh-Varr. Grey Gargoyle, Bullseye. Probably others given her history of using sex to manipulate and control people, but those are the only ones confirmed.

Venom: A bunch of nameless strippers and female fans whom he later killed in his solo mini.

Bullseye: Moonstone

Daken: unnamed female Hammer agent in Dark Wolverine #75, also implied male Hammer clerk in the same issue. He had a girlfriend he murdered back in Origins. Male fashion designer he killed in Daken #1?

Noh-Varr: Moonstone. He says she is the first human girl he's slept with, which implies he's probably slept with at least some non-human women (or some human non-females).

Doctor Voodoo: Photon. The woman in his bed when the Eye of Agammotto named him the new Sorcerer Supreme.

Assuming you include things like rape and casual sex, as you seem to have done, I don't know who wins.

Without including those two, Spider-Man and Iron Man tie for the most people one hero has dated. I counted it out once. They beat any other heroes, whether in DC or Marvel.

The fact that you've only given Spider-Man two is a huge disgrace to the character's history.

[mattbib]

You forgot Sentry + Crystal.

[ColdFury]

And recently, Hawkeye + Scarlet Witch.

Oh, and I'd say Cap & Sharon Carter is definite after the Brubaker run.

[Joe Acro]

You forgot Sentry + Crystal.

Sentry and Crystal dated?

[MAK15]

Sentry and Crystal dated?

according to NA 24 they might've done more than 'dated'

[Rich L]

Pretty solid but a few comments

Hank Pym and Espirita/Firebird was pretty implied back in the WCA days as well.

Arachne and Shroud have been involved off-screen for some time.

Crystal - while I agree that its not required for that storyline, I still read it as her having slept with Black Knight. And I think the lack of Johnny Storm on your list is purely as a result of the age those issues were published in. On the Sentry front, I'm in denial about the whole damn character these days.

Cap had a lot of opportunity with the number of unrequited crushes people have had on him - including Wanda (actually heavily implied in the Cap/Falcon Disassembled issues), Widow and Sersi.

Justice - Firestar 'waiting till they're married' my arse. They were waiting at one point, but I'm fairly sure it was assumed they were sleeping together during their time as Avengers.

Hulk got lots of play in Vegas, recently married & consummated the OldStrong and slept with Dormmammu's sister in the Defenders mini ("Hulk tired"). Also, re-reading the Selene story in MCP I can't see how he DIDN'T have sex with her.

Thor - what about Jane Foster?

Wasp - Tony Stark is very heavily implied in #224 (I think thats the ish), as is Paladin during Stern's run.

Scarlet Witch - see Cap.

Hercules & She-Hulk are on the maybe list, too.

[Jmacq1]

Yeah, this entire list seems to be skewed to a very "literal" level, not accounting for retconning more physically intimate relationships "between the panels" as seems to be common these days. I don't see why the automatic assumption should be that people weren't sleeping together in the golden/silver age any more than it should be automatically assumed that they were. In most cases it's two consenting adults, so it really shouldn't be a big deal either way.

We can also add Emma Frost to Tony Stark's list, based on comments during Civil War #3.

Scarlet Witch and Cap were specifically stated as not having had sex in Captain America and the Falcon. Apparently they just made out and then she crashed on his couch.

It's almost a certainty that Thor and Sif had a sexual relationship in the past, they've been described as "ex lovers" in multiple sources, and it's doubtful they'd have any puritanical judeo-christian hangups about premarital sex ;). Thor/Lorelei is -strongly- implied during the period that she had him under her spell (or at least as strongly implied as a general audiences mid-80's comic could be). Jane Foster is a "maybe" but I don't think there's any direct evidence. Amora is an absolute certainty.

Is there any direct evidence that Beast was taking advantage of "groupies?" Almost all of his relationships have seemed relatively chaste, particularly compared to others who are merely "speculated" as opposed to "confirmed."

[Joe Acro]

Crystal - while I agree that its not required for that storyline, I still read it as her having slept with Black Knight. And I think the lack of Johnny Storm on your list is purely as a result of the age those issues were published in. On the Sentry front, I'm in denial about the whole damn character these days.

I think both Crystal and Sersi should count for Dane. He sort of dated Sersi. But it's been clear for years that he and Crystal have a relationship. They haven't done anything with it (as far as I know) for various reasons, but that doesn't make it any less applicable.

[StoneGold]

If Englehart implied it, it means it happened. Englehart was one freaky bastard.

[jmc247]

The Wasp slept with Magneto.

[jmc247]

And recently, Hawkeye + Scarlet Witch.

Wanda had no memory of her past or who she was. So I certainly wouldn't say Hawkeye slept with the Scarlet Witch as the Scarlet Witch doesn't exist at this point in time.

[ColdFury]

Wanda had no memory of her past or who she was. So I certainly wouldn't say Hawkeye slept with the Scarlet Witch as the Scarlet Witch doesn't exist at this point in time.

...

Okay, Hawkeye slept with "Wanda Maximoff".

That better for you? Geeze.

[Rich L]

The Wasp slept with Magneto.

Secret Wars?

Nah.

It wasn't even really implied.

Has been a bit since I read it though.
