10 Uncomfortable “Adult” Comic Book Moments

10. Everything To Do With Cyclops, Emma Frost And Jean Grey

While most people think that Wolverine is the X-Men's resident creep (he is), there is one thing about the team that's even worse.

In X-Men #1, we discovered that Scott, Logan and Jean have abandoned the years long feud and joined in a three-way relationship. It was assumed Jean was at the centre of that relationship, but it became clear that this was an equal partnership.

Scott and Logan have a peaceful, but intimate conversation one morning while looking out at the Earth. It's as plainly laid out as Marvel will allow: the two are hot for each other. However, along comes Emma Frost to once again shake up Scott's love life.

As if two lovers weren't enough, Scott is caught flirting up a storm in X-Men/Fantastic Four #2. It's clear Emma still has feelings for him, and is more than happy to engage in a little back and forth.

The issue is how vague Marvel are being. If you're going to write about polyamorous relationships, it needs to be in the open. With so many hints being dropped and no outright confirmation, it seems more like a sordid affair rather than one built on the true connection that is obviously there.
