In the colorful world of Marvel Comics, love stories often take on a life of their own, transcending the boundaries of time, space, and mutant abilities. One such legendary tale is the on-again, off-again romance between Wolverine and Jean Grey. This pairing is like the comic book equivalent of an eternal flame — it flickers, it burns, and it leaves you wondering, “What’s going on here?” Let’s embark on a journey through the ages, tracking the rollercoaster love affair that’s been burning hot since the ‘70s.
