4. Storm And Wolverine

Because Wolverine and Storm joined the X-Men at the same time, the two had a special connection since the get-go. Even though they've always had chemistry and the two have been a couple in alternate realities and timelines, their relationship never seemed to evolve beyond friendship. And after Storm married Black Panther and became the queen of Wakanda, it looked like Ororo was ready to settle down.

But after her brainwashed teammate, Namor, decimated Wakanda, Black Panther couldn't risk being associated with Storm and so, annulled their marriage. He encouraged her to be with anyone who made her happy, except Wolverine since... well... Black Panther hated him.

Storm decided to do the exact opposite and hooked up with Wolverine in the showers immediately after. Even though she was only trying to spite her ex-husband, this was the beginning of Wolverine and Storm's relationship.

Less than two years later, their bond came to an abrupt end when Wolverine was killed. In Storm #4, Ororo displayed her grief for her long-time teammate, friend, and partner by bathing the entire world in an aurora borealis.
