While their relationship became strained in recent years, Emma gave Cyclops a gift after he recently succumbed to the M-Pox virus. Emma also grew from being an aloof outsider with a dark streak to one of the mutants at the forefront of a movement. Cyclops became more daring while he was with Emma, an appropriate move considering the constant threat mutants were under while they were together. Their relationship caused both of them to grow in different ways. His wife's final wish, however, was for him to move on and not be afraid to live - and that involved moving on to Emma Frost. The couple originally got together, mentally, while Cyclops was still married to Jean Grey.
The X-Men's stalwart leader hooking up with the former supervillain and White Queen of the Hellfire Club may sound far-fetched, but their surprise relationship proved to be one of the most dynamic and long-lasting in X-history. Whereas other couples on this list have drifted apart, these two are still in each others' lives, albeit in a nonromantic way. When either of them is in trouble, they always turn to each other for help. The two would reunite for a short while, but ultimately their star-crossed romance grew into an unbreakable bond - one perhaps deeper than their love. Their first kiss proved to be a bad move, though, as Rogue became privy to many of Remy's darkest secrets. Of course, that also didn't stop him from wanting to test out how her powers worked, and the two finally kissed when it looked like the world was literally going to end. Despite her constantly reminding him that she wasn't able to touch him, Gambit persisted and showed Rogue that they didn't need to kiss to go on dates. Unable to touch anyone skin-to-skin for fear of absorbing their memories and abilities, any relationship Rogue has is going to be very "will they or won't they." That's just what happened in the early '90s when Rogue first crossed paths with a Cajun charmer named Gambit. Nowadays the pair are close friends, but their romance is behind them. Joss Whedon's "Astonishing X-Men" reignited their relationship - all the way up until it was Kitty's turn to sacrifice herself. It was also she that found the not-dead Colossus during a mission with the X-Men, reuniting the two as adults. The two remained close, with Kitty being tasked to spread his ashes when the world thought Colossus had died. Upon returning to Earth, Peter broke up with Kitty - after which Wolverine and Nightcrawler gave him a stern talking to (with the odd help of Juggernaut). Their initial relationship was short-lived, as they were separated by a trip to another dimension where Colossus fell in love with someone else. After not-so-secretly swooning over him, Kitty made the first move and kicked off their romance. It didn't hurt that he was a sensitive giant with the heart of an artist and a farmboy's upbringing. As the youngest X-Man, the teenage Kitty naturally had a crush on her next oldest teammate, Peter Rasputin. While plenty of other X-Men relationships are fraught with drama and carry the weight of the world, this teenage romance went in a different direction. The pair haven't been seen since "X-Factor" ended a few years ago, and one can only hope they're enjoying their time off together.
Rictor and Shatterstar then became "X-Factor's" power couple, making them the most stable members of an otherwise unruly team. Then Shatterstar returned and, with one kiss, confirmed every fan theory that had bubbled up in the preceding decade. When Rictor resurfaced in "X-Factor" years later, he was flying solo. Eventually, Rictor returned to the team and he and Shatterstar departed together to have unseen adventures. When Rictor left the team after Cable said he wanted to work with them telepathically and get in their heads, Shatterstar was heartbroken - possibly for the first time ever. While serving together in the original X-Force crew, Shatterstar (an initially emotionless warrior from the Mojoverse) found his first ever friend in Rictor (a quick-tempered macho man). Like Mystique and Destiny, Rictor and Shatterstar's relationship was left up to interpretation and almost entirely off-panel for a good chunk of the '90s and early '00s.
