    If find it kind of funny that half the couples they mentioned aren’t together any more because they killed off the wife.

    Nothing like a good look back at the moment when the Wasp tricked her psychologically unstable boyfriend into marrying her. *Sniff.* Maybe we’ll get MARVEL BREAK-UPS as a book-end.
