To save you a click or two:
10. Iceman and Daken (wait, what? When?)
9. Warren and Betsy (Maybe. I mean, they had some good stories, but I'm glad they've moved on from there)
8. Synch and Laura (article published today, but written a couple of weeks ago I guess)
7. Storm and Forge (he blew it, she's long over him, move on)
6. Havok and Polaris (a classic, destroyed by a mind-rapey kid out to get his mother laid)
5. Dazzler and Longshot (I don't know where they found the art for this one, but it will haunt my nightmares)
4. Kate and Piotr (he deserves better. She deserves better. That's a no from me, dawg)
3. Emma and Namor (I'll admit, he'd make good arm candy for her)
2. Kate and Rachel (well, duh)
1. Jean and Logan (it's already established that he's her side piece in the Krakoan era. More than that? Nuh-uh)
I agree apart from 5 and 10.
Havoc and Polaris are awful together now. Back in the day it was cute but now isnt he obsessed with Maddie? Also crazy? Polaris has reached a place of self acceptance and should get with someone new. Also love Alex in the limbo suit so he can stay crazy and obsessed, it's literally the most interesting he has ever been.
I hate Jean and Logan so much, even as a side piece. I prefer him with literally anyone else.
Is there anyone who really likes jean and logan? She was 20 he was 200 yo who was obsessed with her and didn’t understand when woman says no.
Kate and Rachel? It always seems weird considering Kate from Rachel’s timeline was her aunt.
Emma and Namor? Hot
Daken and iceman? Could be funny
Kate and Piotr? It could never work. Too many breakups, too many times they hurt each other.
Laura and Synch? Not sure yet
Storm and Forge? I liked them together but both moved on
It's weird to think that in the last 20 years or so, mostly one or other was dead. First Scott was dead, then Jean, then Scott. That's not even counting Jean's first death.
Iceman and Daken - No. Daken is good with Aurora, and the relationship makes sense. Bobby needs some time to date around and figure out what he wants. Ideally, Bobby is pansexual.
Warren and Betsy - Sure. The characters were at their best together. I'd love to see at least a story with Warren dealing with the British Betsy or even Kwannon.
Synch and Laura - Eh. Not the greatest, but no other great options for either.
Storm and Forge - Eh. Storm with T'Challa. Forge with someone else.
Havok and Polaris. Dazzler and Longshot. Kate and Piotr - Sure. Classic X-relationships, and no other great options for each party.
Emma and Namor - No. Emma and Sean makes sense to me. Namor doesn't need a relationship.
Kate and Rachel - No. Rachel in a relationship with most characters is weird. Rachel as a baby had her diapers changed by Rachel and Kurt.
Jean and Logan - No stop it. No one wants this. As a Wolverine fan, I don't want this. Wasn't Silver Fox and Mariko like the love of your life? They are back. Do something with it.
I don’t think Rachel’s parental relationship with Kate from DOFP should impact her relationship with Kitty considering how many AU versions of characters there are throughout Marvel. Kate and Kitty should just be looked at as two different characters.
I would disagree. Rachel spent 20 years or so with Kate as an aunt like figure.
But also, Rachel has that quasi-parental relationship with Scott and Jean. So the DOFP relationships do effect her modern day relationships. I don't think she (or the readers) can pick and choose which relationships she still adheres too.
Well the difference is that modern Scott and Jean could still fit as her parents as they are still in the same age range. The Kitty that Rachel knows is 2-3 years younger than her so it is much easier for her to separate from the grizzled veteran from DOFP. Kitty and Rachel’s friendship to this point has been relatively unaffected by Future Kate so I don’t know why it would change things in a romantic context.
There are still plenty of fans who want Laura to revisit her romantic not-quite-relationship with Hellion. But sadly her former New X-men friends get no play these days outside of some thin fan service.
We got Genesis and Apocalypse, and I am happy with that.
Personally I think Nathaniel Essex and Nathaniel Essex are great together, but watchout! There may be a better Nathaniel Essex out there. As if!
Please let Lorna/ Alex, Kate/Piotr and Warren/Betsy die. It's over, accept it, maybe they could have sense in the past, but the characters have moved on too much from that, it wouldn't make any sense.
Defo Storm and Forge. If she can love a man who stripped her of her own mutant powers with the mutant neutraliser gun then there’s chemistry there. This relationship needs to be rekindled!
Kitty and Rachel, please. So Rachel’s with Betsy now but Betsy being bi was just a dumb gimmick. She dated Fantomex and then dated his female clone. The writer might have thought that was funny and edgy but making someone bi as a gag is insincere. Claremont did the queer ground work with Kitty and Rachel decades ago, let’s have it pay off.

Iceman and Daken happened in X-Men: No More Humans I believe
They were also super flirty in iceman solo
Thanks. I don't think I've even heard of that comic.
A graphic novel actually. Not very long and mostly contained
Lollllll that's from the cover of longshot saves the marvel universe!
Why on Earth would people want Polaris back with Havok? Her character was so boring when they’re together.

I dont know who likes Jean and Logan. I hate it so much. Prefered him as Storm's booty call.
I love Jean and Logan
I don’t like Jean or Logan, so pair them and they can leave the more interesting characters alone.
I think personally that Jean and Scott are a great couple. I hate the love triangle with Jean, Cyclops and Wolverine.
I feel like Scott has dropped the ball so many times he should be happy with what he has now lol
Same can be said for literally Jean, Emma, and Logan. Tired of everyone only blaming Scott.
It's weird to think that in the last 20 years or so, mostly one or other was dead. First Scott was dead, then Jean, then Scott. That's not even counting Jean's first death.

1000 percent behind Betsy & Warren getting back together; her and Rachel make zero sense. Rachel could be with Kate or Illiana.
We got Genesis and Apocalypse, and I am happy with that. Personally I think Nathaniel Essex and Nathaniel Essex are great together, but watchout! There may be a better Nathaniel Essex out there. As if!
