X-Men Cyclops and Wolverine Are Definitely Having Sex On The Moon – Screen Rant

Spoilers for X-Men #7 below!

The new issue ofX-Men strongly suggests a sexual relationship between two of the team's most prominent mutants, Cyclops and Wolverine. In previous issues ofthe series, writers strongly implied a polyamorous relationship between Jean Grey, her husband Scott Summers AKA Cyclops, and "Logan" Howlett, better known as Wolverine, his longtime rival for Jean's affections. The exact nature of their partnership has been one of the biggest mysteries looming over the recently-relaunched team, but this week'sX-Men #7makes a strong case that Scott and Logan are directly sexually involved.

Jonathan Hickman'sDawn of X relaunch has completely changed the status quo for mutantkind, relocating them to a new nation called Krakoa. The island is a peaceful utopia where all mutants are encouraged (and possibly forced) to erase past conflicts and bond together. In fact, Krakoa's ruling council set a cardinal lawmandating that the populationhook up more often: "Make more mutants." The prologue miniseriesHouse of X ended with a highly suggestive scene in which Logan, Scott, and Jean shared drinks. Jean even passed one to Emma Frost, Scott's paramourin the years leading up toDoX. (Scott and Emma are also still in a sexual relationship of their own, as Storm mentions in Marauders #8.)

The opening issue X-Men #1 later confirmed that the entire Summers familyare living together on the Moonin one home with a peculiar setup: separate bedrooms for Jean and Scott, as well as a room for Logan, arranged so that the three connect in a line with Jean's room in the middle. It was clear that Jean was sleeping with both men, but it was unclear when her partners were simply in simultaneous relationships with her or if the new love triangle connected at every point. Fortunately for curious readers, anearlyscene of issue 7 offers some clear evidence of attraction between the former foes.

After the opening scene and the title page, the story cuts to the Summer House, where Scott and Logan are spending an early morning together. The latter is kicking back in a light bathrobe while Cyclops is in full costume (sans the trademark head-sock). When Wolverine mentions that he had trouble sleeping, Cyclops blames "all that hair" before inviting him alongon a space vacation to Chandilore, the island-like planetoid that Cyclops mentioned inNew Mutants #7. Logan admits that the scenery is hard to pass up, especially Jean in a bikini. "Scott in a speedo", the spectacled mutant adds. Logan laughs and responds: "Hell, who could say no to that?"At this point, the subtext has become text.

The Summers' husband and the Summers' boyfriendshare a pause that could be read as comfortable silence or as a moment of tension before the conversation heads into the much darker territory that looms over the rest of the issue. Theytalk about a history of "deciding what's right and what's wrong", alluding to the"Schism" era of the franchise in whichCyclops and Wolverine were enemies locked in battle, a time that the shorter and hairier of the two doesn't want to revisit. Ultimately, Wolverine has no interest in helping Cyclops process his feelings. Is their intimacy romantic in nature or strictly physical? It's hard to say, but this sheds some light on Cyclops' cryptic remark inX-Men #2that he "loves a single someone". Did the strait-laced strategist mean that he lovesat least one person, or that he onlyloves one person? Either way, it's clear thedays of Scott and Logan fighting over lovers is long over.

X-Men #7, written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Leinil Yu and color by Sunny Gho, is available from Marvel in stores now.
