10 Most Shocking Relationships In X-Men History

10. Jean Grey And Beast

If you thought relationships are hard and time-travel is confusing, try putting them together. (Actually, don't do that because, as Beast and Jean Grey proved, it gets really messy.)

Over the years, Beast believed the X-Men's leader, Cyclops, had lost his way. (The fact that Scott killed Professor X was probably the first sign). As a result, Hank McCoy build a time machine to transport the X-Men from the past to the present. Hank hoped that Cyke would get his drive back after seeing how idealistic the younger versions of himself, Beast, Iceman, Angel, and Jean Grey were.

However, Hank's little experiment created more problems that he could've ever anticipated. After Young Jean saw how disillusioned Future Scott had become, she no longer found him attractive, jeopardising their relationship in the future. Just to make matters worse, Jean accidentally read Future Hank's mind in All-New X-Men #15 and discovered he'd been infatuated with her from the moment they met.

When Jean told Young Hank that she knew he harboured feelings for her, he insisted that he couldn't act on them since she was destined to be with Scott. After she told him she didn't love Scott, Hank and Jean had their first kiss.
