10 Insanely Awkward Moments In Marvel Comics History
4. Havok Confesses He Loves His Nurse At His Own Wedding - Uncanny X-Men #425 (2003)
After Cyclops' brother, Alex Summers, was caught in the blast of a time machine (long story), he fell into a catatonic state for several months.
While he in was hospital, Alex was cared for by a nurse called Annie Ghazikhanian. Even though she knew Alex was in a relationship with Lorna Dane, who is better-known as the metal-controlling mutant, Polaris, she couldn't help falling in love with him. Realising Annie's intentions, Lorna threatens to murder her.
When Alex awoke, Lorna still feels intimidated by Annie and spontaneously asks Alex to marry her. On the big day, Lorna is walking down the aisle when Alex suddenly calls off the entire wedding.
He admits he heard Annie confessing her love for him while he was catatonic and had fallen for her too. Utterly humiliated, Lorna converts all the metal at the wedding into a Magneto-like armour, and chases Alex and Annie, trying to kill them.
Although Alex and Annie hook up soon after, she eventually left the X-Men’s residence, worried that surrounding herself with mutants would make her son a target against mutant-haters.
Alex felt humiliated, realising that he embarrassed Lorna and stopped their wedding for nothing.
