Hello and welcome to Comic Drake where I talk about comic books and my name is Drake!
Recently on the channel, I did a big video on some surprising hookups in the Marvel comics
universe and it quickly became the most popular video on my channel which really shouldn’t
come as a big surprise, but there were a lot of people who were upset about the lack of
entries of characters hooking up in alternate universes.
So today, I’ve got you covered with a few of those.
Now I do want to point out that this is not every single alternate universe crazy pairing.
It’s just some of them because there can be multiple videos made on the subject and
if you like what you saw today, then maybe we’ll make more.
So at the very least, enjoy!
Okay, let’s start off with one of the biggest misconceptions in all of Marvel history.
Jen Walters A.K.A.
She-Hulk is one of Marvel’s biggest players, having slept with MANY big name characters.
One of her conquests is one that you’ve most likely heard about down the grapevine,
the Juggernaut in Uncanny X-Men #435 in 2004.
This was seen as VERY out of character for Jen considering that the Juggernaut is a pretty
serious villain.
You know, like the time that he destroyed the Twin Towers in 1991.
Yeah…
Needless to say, it was interesting that She-Hulk explicitly denied ever sleeping with the Juggernaut
not even a year later in her solo series.
In fact, it became a MAJOR recurring joke.
Okay so clearly this didn’t happen so how would the Uncanny X-Men story be retconned?
Well, this and several other plot holes were directly addressed in She-Hulk #21 in 2005
which revealed that citizens of Earth-721 have taken vacations in a universe that they
call Earth-B or as we know it, the mainstream Earth-616 comic continuity.
When on vacation, some Earth-721 people become complete copies of their Earth-616 counterparts
in a sort of secret identity theft.
Turns out that She Hulk was victim of this and literally on the NEXT PAGE, Jen confronts
her doppelganger about sleeping with the Juggernaut which turns out is exactly what happened!
So did the Juggernaut ACTUALLY sleep with She-Hulk?
Yes, but not the main universe one.
Hopefully that puts an end to THAT misconception.
The Wolverine of Earth-12025 has been described as “Wolverine-meets Teddy Roosevelt, but
still Canadian.”
He’s the former Governor General of Canada and has his skeleton laced with golden Adamantine,
the metal of the gods.
That was all we knew about this Wolverine when he first appeared in the Astonishing
X-Men series in 2012, but when he resurfaced one year later in the X-Treme X-Men series,
we learned just where he got that metal from, his boyfriend.
That’s right, it was revealed that the Governor General and the demi-god Hercules fell in
love, but Zeus was not a fan of any god but himself consorting with mortals.
So the couple was banished to Tartarus where they fought for around three or four years
before escaping and this is possibly the manliest pairing in all of Marvel.
This next one was only given a single panel in Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #2, but in it,
the Earth-616 Reed Richards was scanning the multiverse for worlds where the superhuman
Civil War peacefully ended.
That took him to Earth-3490 where Captain America was married to Natasha Stark, the
Iron Woman.
The two calmed each other’s aggressive behaviors and the act was ultimately resolved.
So yes fan fic writers, Stony IS canon...
In an alternate universe…
Where Iron Man is a woman...
One of the biggest pairings that people got upset about when I didn’t include in my
last video is Ultimate Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
Now this one has definitely made rounds on the internet on several online listings, but
that doesn’t make it any less strange.
Okay so in the Ultimate Earth-1610 universe, Wolverine was lost in the mountains and nearly
died until he was rescued by a woman named Magda.
Of course, this led to a sex scene which is fine and all until Magda’s husband walks
in, Magneto.
Since then, Magda has had two children in the form of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
This of course leads to it being ambiguous on who the father is, Wolverine or Magneto?
If only the Ultimate Marvel universe had their form of Maury or Jerry Springer or whoever
does those shows these days.
I don’t know.
Anyway, we had some hints about twincest for a while, but it was made EXPLICIT when Wolverine
recounted the time that he watched them doing it.
Yep, Wolverine literally watched a couple of siblings going at it WHEN HE MIGHT BE THEIR
DAD IN THE FIRST PLACE.
That is just weird, man.
It’s weird.
Speaking of the Ultimate universe, this is Brian Michael Bendis.
He is one of Marvel’s biggest writers, having his fingers in SO MANY books.
He like Kitty Pryde.
He like Kitty Pryde a lot.
Like so much so that he shoehorns her into almost every book that he writes and it’s
become a running joke in the comic book community.
This is Ultimate Peter Parker from Earth-1610.
Bendis has gone on record to state that he writes Ultimate Peter like himself which makes
Peter a self insert.
Well, lo and behold, Ultimate Peter Parker and Ultimate Kitty Pryde got together and
it even includes such imagery as Kitty imagining a future with Peter as a married couple.
Well that relationship had to end up falling apart and her new boyfriend was Kenny “Kong”
McFarlane, an even MORE obvious self insert of Bendis.
I mean just look at the guy.
Now I need to point out that I have nothing against Bendis as a writer.
In fact, I really like a lot of the book’s that I’ve read of his, but I would really
not be opposed if he stopped hooking Kitty Pryde up with all these different characters
so that he can vicariously date her through them.
It’s hard to mention alternate Marvel universes without bringing up the Exiles series which
literally revolves around hopping through multiple different universes.
One of its recurring characters is Mariko Yashida A.K.A.
Sunfire.
Now Sunfire is already a somewhat obscure character in the main Marvel-616 canon where
he’s a Japanese mutant super hero and a former member of the X-Men.
He is also directly responsible for the formation of the original Big Hero 6 team.
Which quick side thought...
YO MARVEL!
So your original Big Hero 6 books weren’t very good, but why the hell haven’t you
capitalized on how good the Disney movie was and reboot it in the comics with similar characters?!
Okay sorry, thank you for indulging me on brief little tangent.
Anyway, this female Sunfire from Earth-2109 visited Earth-8545 with her team, the Exiles,
where she met Mary Jane Watson who is that universe’s stand in for Peter Parker as
Spider-Woman.
The two of them hit it off pretty quickly, but the team had to move on causing the two
heroes to part ways.
Issues later, Sunfire was trapped back on Earth-8545, but took this time to grow her
relationship with Mary Jane.
The two were falling for each other super fast, but Mariko had to leave, never returning
before her untimely death only three issues later.
That’s… tragic.
So… that was a downer so let’s end things off on a goofier note.
This last pairing comes from the Marvel Now What?
One shot.
In this one page story, comedians Wyatt Cenac and Elliott Kalan talk about how Thor and
Storm’s powers should cancel each other out which would kind of make them kind of
soul makes.
Then we get a mention of how dangerous it would be if they fought and then how….
Shocking it’d be when they make up.
Sex lightning.
They have sex lightning.
I really think that Storm and Thor would make a pretty interesting couple.
Like just look at this cute scene from the all ages Marvel Adventure comic.
Yeah, in this universe, Earth-20051, Storm and Thor have been shown to be dating and
it just works.
In all seriousness, the Marvel Adventure books are often overlooked since they’re made
for all ages, but it does have some fun ideas and works well for standard superhero action.
They’re definitely worth a read if you have the chance.
Now of course, this is not every single pairing in the Marvel multiverse because there are
so freaking many, but if there is one that you guys enjoyed that I didn’t cover in
this video then leave it down there in the comments below and maybe I’ll do a follow
up video with some of those.
But hey, if you liked this video then why not consider subscribing or even watching
another one?
In fact, you probably like the concept of the multiverse so why not watch this video
I did on DC Comics’ multiverse and meta narrative of their multiverse map?
It’s a lot of fun and maybe a little more in depth than random hookups.
I don’t know.
Hopefully you’ll like it.
