Marvel announced the wedding of Kitty Pryde and Colossus. The mutants will tie the knot after decades of an on-again, off-again romance, deaths, resurrections and X-Men drama.
The YouTube video showed a preview of the happy couple but with a warning – what could possibly go wrong?
The celebration will begin in X-MEN: GOLD #30. The upcoming wedding is a big moment since writer Marc Guggeheim launched X-MEN GOLD. Kitty returned to her mutant family, became team leader and led the rebuilding of the Xavier Institute – now in Central Park. Kitty and Colossus have been flirting and fighting old feelings but that all changed in this week’s X-MEN GOLD #20 – we won’t spoil it – but pick up this issue to see what led to the popping of the questions.
The upcoming X-Wedding comes on the return of Wolverine, Jean Grey and Professor Xavier (see current MARVEL LEGACY #1, PHOENIX RESURRECTION and ASTONISHING X-MEN) but will any of these heroes be there as his classic couple tie the knot?
Til Death Do Them Part should not even be uttered at the ceremony. He’s already survived it.
Here’s a quick recap of the romance and everything these lovers have survived:
Colossus died when he sacrificed himself to find a cure of the mutant killing Legacy Virus.
Colossus returned (thanks to writer Joss Whedon) in ASTONISHING X-MEN when it was revealed alien and human scientists resurrected him to find a weapon against mutants. Kitty and Peter finally (you know) their relationship.
The two were separated again in a fight with those same aliens. Kitty phased a missile to save Earth but she was trapped in mid-phase in a giant bullet.
Magneto brought Kitty back to Earth but soon after Colossus bonded with the Cytorrak to become the Juggernaut to fight a greater demon. Colossus was then among the Phoenix Five – five mutants sharing the Phoenix Force.
The double possessions split the couple apart. During a X-Men/Guardians of the Galaxy crossover, Kitty fell for Peter Quill aka Star-Lord and joined the outer space heroes. The coupling even sparked a hashtag #StarKat. Peter hooked up with Domino in a new version of X-Force.
X-MEN GOLD brought Kitty and Peter back together in the same book and now here comes the bride.
