10 Most Inappropriate X-Men Storylines

The moral implications of finding your long-lost brother, not telling him who you are, and then dating him for a considerable amount of time before finally revealing this dark secret are pretty damn strong. Yet, this is exactly the storyline for Jimaine Szardos, Nightcrawler's step-sister, who hides her identity and becomes Amanda Sefton, the hero's long-term girlfriend.

The most concerning part of all of this, however, isn't even how nightmarish this build-up is. As bad as that is, it pales in comparison to the reveal that Kurt isn't horrified that someone who he'd consider a family member has been lying to him in order to date him.

No, instead he's pleased as punch to have been unknowingly dating his sister the whole time, and expresses this both to her and his fellow superheroes repeatedly.

Had they played into the 'adopted' aspect of Kurt's familial ties with Jimaine, maybe this could have been made less creepy. What actually happens, however, is that the two flit between referring to themselves as both brother and sister and boyfriend and girlfriend, reminding us yet again that comics can just be straight up wild sometimes.
