Hello and welcome to Comic Drake where I talk
about comic books and my name is Drake.
In comparison to DC Comics, Marvel characters
get around a whole heck of a lot and this
is mostly because DC likes to focus on their
official couples, their OTPs, whereas Marvel
characters will take on multiple sexual partners.
So today, let’s take a look at the sexy
world of Marvel Comics and look at some of
the most surprising and interesting hookups
over the years in no particular order.
It’s not just clickbait.
It’s actually the subject of the video.
Starting us out is one hookup that I have
mentioned multiple times in the past, but
it’s a pairing that I seriously find interesting.
Tony Stark is a ladies man, there’s no doubt
about that.
However in 2013, Tony went off on several
adventures in space and much like Captain
Kirk, he fooled around with several space
ladies.
Well, some of his attempted conquests were
more successful than others like this time
that Stark was about to take an alien princess
to bed.
He opened up his mask and she was disgusted
by his facial hair!
This actually wasn’t the first time that
an alien woman was attracted to Tony while
his entire body was encased in armor though.
Fun fact: After the day was saved in the iconic
Infinity Gauntlet event, he and the warrior
Gamora flirted for a bit.
This came full circle when Tony briefly joined
the Guardians of the Galaxy and sealed the
deal, but clearly Gamora wasn’t impressed
and Tony was left in pain.
No wonder it was so awkward between the two
afterwards.
Hey, remember that woman from Spider-Man:
Homecoming?
You know, the one with a few lines and was
in charge of the mostly unexplained Department
of Damage Control?
That’s Anne Marie Hoag and let’s have
a quick history lesson.
Anne is the head of Damage Control, a private
company that cleans up after superhuman scuffles,
doing repair work for heroes and cities, but
even for some villains like Doctor Doom as
well.
Ms. Hoag is tough as nails, able to go toe
to toe in negotiations against Tony Stark
and even have a brief stint as an advisor
to the president of the United States.
Ms. Hoag and Damage Control as a whole have
never been too well known and these days,
they’re relegated to brief cameos.
In one recent example, it was heavily hinted
at that Anne and freaking Luke Cage actually
have some sort of romantic past.
This came completely out of left field and
was never elaborated on and never mentioned
again.
It’s a strange bit of trivia that has been
pretty quickly forgotten, kind of like Damage
Control itself.
Spider-Man has had two iconic love interests,
there’s Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy.
However, it has been established that Peter
and Gwen never did the deed which is interesting
when you consider who Gwen HAS slept with,
Peter Parker’s greatest nemesis, Norman
Osborn A.K.A. the Green Goblin.
The Sins Past storyline featured in Amazing
Spider-Man #509 - #514 in 2004 is HIGHLY controversial
among comic fans and even mentioning it is
bound to get them riled up.
Honestly though, it’s easy to see why.
Sins Past revolves around the fact that while
Gwen was with Peter, she had an affair with
Norman Osborn, the father of her ex-boyfriend
and Peter Parker’s best friend, Harry Osborn.
If that wasn’t enough, Gwen got pregnant
with Norman’s kids and went off to Paris
to have them delivered in secret.
This also ended up retconning the motivation
for Norman killing Gwen Stacy in that iconic
scene, permanently tainting the entire Spider-Man
section of the Marvel universe.
There is good reason why Spider-Man writers
have gone on record stating that they would
never touch or even reference this story,
but until it’s explicitly wiped from existence,
Green Goblin’s O-face is still canon.
Speaking of Spider-Man, it’s pretty well
known that Doctor Octopus tried marrying Aunt
May back in the seventies, but the marriage
never ended up happening.
However, decades later we were shown that
the two of them consummated the union… before
the marriage itself!
To make things even more disgusting, this
was the storyline where Doc Ock swapped minds
with Peter Parker, just before deciding to
become the Superior Spider-Man and during
this process, Peter got a front row seat to
that display.
This makes the time that Peter walked in on
his aunt WAAAAY less intense by comparison.
So hey, did you know that Wolverine and Squirrel
Girl had a thing?
Yeah, when Wolverine joined the New Avengers,
their team leader, Luke Cage, decided to get
a nanny for when he and Jessica Jones were
going to be out fighting crime.
After several interviews, it was decided that
Squirrel Girl was the best candidate which
led to this incredibly awkward scene when
she crossed paths with Wolverine.
Now, despite this playing out like a couple
of former lovers, this scene is a BIT ambiguous.
Maybe the two just had some poorly executed
team ups.
Well in Wolverine Vol 4 #8, Emma Frost explores
Logan’s mind and stumbles across a room
of all of his sexual fantasies.
Along with all the usual suspects, there’s
Squirrel Girl front and center, making the
hints that the two had a sexual relationship
pretty much confirmed.
Gross.
One thing that’s been great about the Marvel
Cinematic Universe is that lesser known characters
are being exposed to a larger audience, two
notable ones being Mantis and The Vision.
Now if you’ve watched this channel before,
you know that I am not a big fan of Mantis.
She’s a writer’s pet that was shoehorned
into several stories which includes her time
as a member of The Avengers.
During this period, Mantis’ had an established
attraction to Vision, but this was not explored
too deeply.
After all, she was in a relationship with
a character named The Swordsman who later
died and was replaced by an alien plant guy
who took on her deceased lover’s form…
because comics… and Vision was in an established
relationship with Scarlet Witch.
Heck, both couples had simultaneous weddings
right next to each other with Vision getting
hitched to Scarlet Witch and Mantis marrying
the plant dude.
However, Vision and Scarlet Witch eventually
divorced and Mantis entered The Avengers’
lives during the Celestial Quest storyline.
Mantis, now being single, dived head first
into an obnoxious relationship with Vision,
much to the jealousy of Scarlet Witch.
This coupling was broken off at the end of
the story, but nonsense like this is just
one of the many reasons why I hated Mantis
as a character back in the era of her original
writer.
The last one I want to leave you guys with
for today is something interesting in my opinion
since it’s not really confirmed and I’m
curious as to what you think about it.
So in the original Secret Wars event, multiple
characters were abducted and put onto the
mysterious Battleworld.
At one point, Ant-Man’s ex-wife, Janet van
Dyne A.K.A.
The Wasp struck a brief ceasefire with Magneto
and the two of them started swapping spit…
pretty much instantly and the scene cuts away.
The next time that we see the two, Magneto
can be seen creating a comb for Janet out
of metal and pouring the two some refreshments,
but before too long, the X-Men show up and
Wasp reveals that she was just going along
with Magneto to earn his trust.
Like I mentioned, this entire scene is incredibly
vague since we don’t see what happens in
between the kiss and making the comb.
So I’m going to leave it up to you guys.
Did Magneto and Wasp actually hook up or did
Magneto just create the comb for Janet who
needed to comb her hair after an intense makeout
session.
