Even the most adventurous, danger-loving Marvel fan needs a good love story every now and then.
Some romances are just perfectly designed to be told in comics. Can robots fall in love? Can love break death row in the Marvel Universe?

In honor of Marvel’s 80th anniversary and its legacy of 1950s romance comics, LOVE ROMANCES #1 has made a fleeting return with stories from Jon Adams, Denis “Hopeless” Hallum, and Gail Simone.
In celebration of Marvel’s Valentine’s Day, Marvel.com is taking a walk down memory lane with six of the most passionate romances in the Marvel Universe that have broken our hearts time and time again.
There are plenty of Marvel romances that could be better known, like Scott and Jean, Daredevil and Elektra, and Vision and Wanda, but let’s raise a glass by candlelight to these lesser-known or anonymous lovebirds. These are some of the love stories in Marvel
T’Challa and Storm
While these two are no longer married, their relationship is one of the sweetest and most remarkable in the Marvel Universe. T’Challa and Storm were the ultimate power couple. When they were together, their love for each other always seemed particularly deep and genuine.
After they parted ways, they remained on friendly terms, often working together. What may be the most amazing part of their relationship is the level of respect they have for each other. They are both powerful beings with enormous responsibilities, and they always honor that in each other.
Rogue and Gambit
If Storm and T’Challa are the ultimate love, Rogue and Gambit are like the angsty couple on your favorite show who always has drama but still want them to end up together.
These two have had their ups and downs since the ’90s, but as we recently saw in Rogue and Gambit, they pretend to be a married couple and defeating evil robots together has a way of rekindling the flame. Today, they are actually married and face great challenges as a couple.
Ayo and Aneka
The Dora Milaje have had a relationship that has been, to say the least, intense. They are both Dora Milaje, and the early days of their relationship saw Ayo rescue Aneka from prison, after which the two went on the run together.
Although his relationships with T’Challa and the Wakandan leadership have changed over the years, they have both remained committed to righting injustice when they see it, and that quality has connected them on a deep level.
Northstar and Kyle Jindau
These two made history with their wedding, which was a pretty big event in 2012’s Astonishing X-Men #51. And they got married amid some pretty terrifying circumstances.
The issue takes place in the middle of a story arc in which Karma has forcibly turned on her teammates and follows a cliffhanger in which Kyle is being mind-controlled into attacking Northstar.
Even though their marriage started under such chaos, it has stayed strong through all sorts of crazy situations ever since.
thor and jane
What’s great about these two is how their relationship has gone through so many different phases, yet they’ve continued to care deeply about each other throughout. Back when they were dating, it was a bit of a fairy tale in some ways, with a human woman being snatched away by the larger-than-life, chivalrous demigod.
But Jane really came into her own, becoming a highly respected scientist and ultimately a Midgard representative to the Congress of Worlds, and Thor Odinson supports her on her journey.
When she discovers that she is the new Thor, the pride and respect she feels are palpable. And the anguish she feels after her (short-lived) death is probably one of the most poignant moments in Marvel history. These days, they’re both doing some soul searching and it’s great to see them keep showing up for each other.
peter and gwen
Yes, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson have also always had a strong relationship. But it’s Gwen Stacy who really shook Peter to the core. Her death shaped him and fueled his desire to protect the innocent in a new way.
Peter had a crush on Gwen early on, and their romance was always like a Hallmark card (in the best possible way). So while Peter truly loved Mary Jane and built a life with her, her relationship with Gwen probably impacted him more as a superhero.
