These Are The Most Completely Dysfunctional Superhero Couples

Since the beginning of time, we have found more entertainment in bad romances than happy endings. We crave the unstable love stories. The best love stories gone wrong involve superheroes.

They deal with everyday problems, but it’s the addition of superpowers and villains to the list which creates the perfect recipe for disaster. When it seems that the drama is over, more of it seems to manifest.

Here’s a list of the most dysfunctional superhero couples from the Marvel/DC universes. 

Jean Grey and Wolverine

Jean and Wolverine’s secret romance began because Jean started confiding in Logan when she’d fight with her boyfriend, Cyclops. It left Wolverine emotionally scarred because he fell in love with her and felt he could never find anyone better.

Newsflash, Logan: You could and should have moved on.

Black Widow and The Winter Soldier

Two emotionally damaged individuals whose minds have been torn apart and reconstructed during their training to become Soviet spies: a match made in Heaven!

Black Widow and Winter Soldier may share similar baggage, but it’s just a toxic mixture, even for two lethal assassins.

Captain America and Scarlet Witch

The all-around American guy with a woman who has a great deal of difficulty controlling her powers. What’s more American than doing the exact opposite of what everyone wants you to do? That’s exactly what this “romance” was.

Thankfully, it was short-lived.

The White Queen and Cyclops

Emma and Scott’s relationship began when she helped him through psychic therapy after he had his mind taken over by Apocalypse. This soon escalated into an affair while Scott was still in a relationship with Jean Grey.

But does a purely psychological affair still count?
