X-Men: Marvel’s Mutants Use The Danger Room For Sex
The X-Men are no strangers to knocking boots, but which members of Marvel’s merry mutants brought the high-tech Danger Room into the bedroom?
But in the past, their romance has never lasted long…
There are decades of publication history in the X-Men mythos documenting flirtation and sexual tension between Storm and Wolverine, starting in Chris Claremont’s iconic run throughout the 70s and 80s. The two heroes share a deep mutual admiration and respect that has been there nearly since the beginning of their friendship… they both appreciate each other’s independence, honesty, and loyalty, which have been put to the test many times. When most fans hear aboutWolverine’s love life, they immediately think about Jean Grey, while reflecting on Storm’s romances, which almost always leads back to T’Challa, who Ororo was married to for years. Following Storm’s divorce from Black Panther afterAvengers vs. X-Men, Ororo and Logan finally officially started dating inWolverine & the X-Men.
X-Men Confirms Wolverine’s True Love Is a Mutant Hero (But Not Jean Grey)
Wolverine and Jean Grey are at the center of one of Marvel’s most famous love triangles, but Logan’s true love is an entirely different X-Man.
While Logan and Ororo had flirted for years and made many subtle hints that they had slept together before, their official relationship was on a whole other level and really showed how well the two heroes worked together. Interestingly,T’Challa tells Storm “anyone but him” in reference to her dating Wolverine, potentially because he knows just how compatible the two are and is worried about losing Ororo forever. Many fans were pleased that Logan and Ororo were finally together, especially Wolverine acknowledging that Storm was always right in front of him when he was so distracted by Jean Grey. They eventually broke up and decided to just stay friends and teammates, but they did have more flirtations, like during Krakoa’sX of Swordsevent, which hinted at a rekindling of their relationship in the future.
Logan And Ororo Will Always Be Incredible Friends
Their respect for each other will always outweigh any anger
Storm#3 sees they finally rekindle their romance, with a passionate night of fighting and love-making, but by the next morning, the moment was already over. Ororo, busy with her Storm Sanctuary and Avengers work, had to leave to meet Sorcerer Supreme Doom in Latveria, sneaking out of the bed she was sharing with Logan. While Storm felt apologetic for bailing on Wolverine, he knew immediately that she had left the next morning and was not upset,because he loves, respects, and understands her.
Storm and Wolverine’s romance has always been somewhat controversial, mainly becausesome fans still think Ororo and T’Challa should be together, but no matter who is “end game” it was exciting to see the two reconnect so passionately.Wolverineand Storm’s relationship has always transcended theX-Men, and no matter how many times they find each other again romantically, they will always remain incredibly supportive of each other.
Wolverine
The human mutant Wolverine (a.k.a. Logan) was born James Howlett, blessed with a superhuman healing factor, senses, and physiology. Subjecting himself to experimentation to augment his skeleton and claws with adamantium, Logan is as deadly as he is reckless, impulsive, and short-tempered. Making him the X-Men’s wildest and deadliest member, and one of Marvel Comics' biggest stars. He’s played in Fox and Marvel’s movie franchises by Hugh Jackman.
