** Just to be clear, that's her twin brother (with whom she is naturally extremely close), the man with whom she was canonically in love for years (and who a large section of the fandom thought she was going to marry), and... the lady she's just started hanging around with, for the first time since they were both written by Chris Claremont.
* When Rob Liefield and Fabian Nicieza wrote ''X-Force'' in the 90s, it was a [[Rated "M" for Manly|catalog of testosterone]], with Shatterstar, the Mojoverse warrior who was interested only in fighting. When Nicieza took over after Liefeld left, Shatterstar began [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|figuring outt human emotions]] and struck up a friendship with fellow teammate Rictor. Jeph Loeb took that one step further, giving Shatterstar a very obvious crush on Rictor and developing a subtext between the two men that eventually became difficult to ignore and a [[Fan Yay]] (detailed extensively [http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20090628072652/http://www.shatteringtheearth.com/ThePairing.html here]). Years later, Peter David writing ''X-Factor'' reunited the pair and had them become a canon couple, to the [http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2009/07/liefeld-cant-wait-to-someday-undo-shatterstar-development/ disapproval] of Liefield who said that his vision of Shatterstar was as a 'gladiator' and 'Spartan', [[Hard Gay|apparently precluding him from homosexuality]].

* In a 2005 story (Rogue vol. 3 #7-12) Tony Bedard established that back in the really old days (the flashback part of the story is set before Sunfire's first appearance, X-Men #64 (1970)) a 17-year-old Rogue was really close friends with a memory-stealing female mutant called Blindspot who also happens to be immune to her absorption power. To this day Blindspot loves to cuddle up with one of Rogue's old costumes, and at the end of the story Rogue gives her the one she then was wearing in return for having her memories restored.
