10 Most Shocking Relationships In X-Men History

5. Archangel And Husk

If you thought Mystique's relationship with Azazel was the only thing Chuck Austen screwed up, think again. During his run, Austen also decided to have Archangel partner up with Paige Guthrie, who is better known as Husk.

Because the founding X-Man is much older than Husk (which he emphasised on several occasions), their coupling was considered a massive taboo. If one had to pinpoint the most inappropriate moment in their relationship, you only have to look at the She Lies with Angels storyline. While Husk argued with Archangel, she pointed out how all of his previous relationships ended in failure.

And how did the winged mutant react? Archangel flew Husk into the sky, tore off all her clothes, and had sex with her... in full-view of his teammates and family below. Not only is the moment pointlessly shocking, it has nothing to do with the plot! This storyline revolves around Husk's brother developing mutant powers and deciding to date a non-mutant. Sadly, the only thing anyone remembers from this saga is Angel and Husk getting busy in public for no reason.
