Of course, this situation has caused a hailstorm of controversy pointed towards Marvel Comics. Scott then jokes that his body in a speedo isn’t so bad either and Wolverine replies, “Well, who could say no to that?” Image via Marvel Comics Controversy The two talk about the scenery before talking about other views they like. In it, we see a scene of Wolverine and Scott sitting on the moon ( really) and looking down at the Earth. That polyamorous relationship was then implied again in X-Men #7, which published on February 26. This led to online speculation that the three were engaging in a sexual relationship together. In addition, the three rooms are connected. In X-Men #1, which released on October 16, 2019, it was revealed that Jean Grey’s room is placed between Wolverine and Cylcops’ rooms. Right? I melt.Most notably, it’s the bedroom setups that first had fans talking. Wolverine’s densely muscled, adamantium-plated shoulder… Sexy.
To be fair, it was one of the most erogenous places in the body. It’s a cheeky joke and Cyclops’ hand placement. So, what’s been fueling all this speculation? Other than the aforementioned living situation and a lot of headcanon, I mean. Are we really ignoring how strangely the X-Men have been behaving? That this isn’t an extension of it? To be frank – is this really something worth applauding? Leave it to Twitter and other arguably reputable sites, you’d think the whole comic book world is throwing some sort of ‘coming out’ party for the two. Jean may very well be polyamorous at this point – whether it’s organic, or by way of the same manipulation I theorize is affecting all of Krakoa – but why does that automatically extend to those two? Two men sharing a woman, while not traditional, or for most, ideal, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are also with one another. The living situation on the moon is telling – but take into account that Jean’s room is in the middle. This may have a lot to do with the recent attack on men’s ability/right to be friends with one another without homosexual connotation being applied. Now they’re making Speedo jokes and tenderly reassuring each other as Jean goes off into the unknown. As recent as last year these two were involved in a bloody fistfight. They are much more touchy-feely-jokey than I’ve ever seen them before. I see it, but all this talk about Wolverine and Cyclops is just strange wishful thinking. Some of their most dangerous foes are now neighbors and even hold high ranking positions in their government – there’s a lot of going on with Krakoa. Xavier is handwaving away the telepathic manipulation of world leaders. Storm even presides over it as some sort of high priestess. Everyone’s ok with the existence of the Resurrection Protocols. From the get-go, many of the X-Men have been behaving… oddly. When Jonathan Hickman took over the X-Men franchise, he understandably shook things up. Mostly over Wolverine’s well-known adoration of Jean Grey – Cyclops’ longtime lover, wife, and mother to at least two of his time/reality displaced children. Traditionally, historically, Cyclops and Wolverine have only barely tolerated each other. Extremely weird when you consider who’s involved. The situation between Jean Grey, Wolverine, and Cyclops as shown in the current iteration of X-Men is weird.
