Colossus and Kitty Pryde
Keeping up with the streak of couples who haven’t made it through hardships, we have Piotr Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus and Kitty Pryde a.k.a Shadowcat. They make up one of X-Men’s most famous couples, and are remembered fondly for their touching – and wrenching – story. It began as young lust that might have never blossomed into something more. Kitty Pryde crushed hard on Piotr, and readers rejoiced when their mutual affections were revealed. Colossus even went so far as to get “Katya,” the Russian form of Kitty’s full name “Katherine,” tattooed across his chest after a particularly devastating incident. Though the two had an impact on their particular X-Men generation – much like Cyclops and Jean Gray had – their world around them had different plans for their romance. With Kitty now engaged to a new beau, it seems as though the momentous relationship is done for good. At least we can always look back on their time, knowing that even in the times of heartbreak and defeat, love was there.
