10 Controversial Comic Book Couples Fans Hated

10. Juggernaut And She-Hulk

She-Hulk Juggernaut Couple
Marvel Comics

In what can only be described as one of the most bizarre couplings in recent memory, She-Hulk and Juggernaut (as in, evil X-villain, Juggernaut), actually got together in the pages of Uncanny X-Men, some fourteen years ago.

The subject of countless jokes in the years since, the one-time pairing of Cain Marko and Jennifer Walters was promptly ret-conned with the revelation that it was a different She-Hulk who slept with Juggernaut, one from Earth 721. Convenient, yes, but that didn't stop the incident from becoming a running gag even after the retcon, with Marko's place on Walter's list of past conquests a frequent source of embarrassment for the former Fantastic Four member.

Some of the 'jokes' on display were and still are cringy AF however, and even borderline misogynistic, with one in particular involving Wolverine turning down Walters' advances on account of (and I quote), him not wanting 'Juggernaut's sloppy seconds'.

Sigh.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
