Just want to clarify this misconception that hacks like Bendis and Chuck Austen propagated...Hank Pym slapped Wasp once while in the throes of a mental breakdown. That one time is the full extent of his physical abuse on The Wasp.

Hudlin's Black Panther run was heavily criticized and shyt upon and I admit, some of his writing didn't translate well AT ALL but I gotta give him props for really pushing for the Black Panther/Storm marriage and making it a big event
The point is that the relationship itself was given more respect as regards to the characters. Ant-Man was MORE than just a wife beating a$$hole and Wasp was more than just a spineless victim. The events of AVX made Black Panther, who is amongst the smartest individuals in the Marvel universe, look like a cold, unthinking jerk, who instead of attempting to find some common ground with his wife, dismisses her and annuls their marriage based upon a faulty sense of anger. Does that even sound like T'Challa? The writers went OUT of their way to break up two of the most sensible and noble characters in such a hackneyed fashion. It was pure any utter BULLshyt
Everything about AvX was hackneyed though. Nothing felt organic about anything that happened in that story. Plus I think Marvel only went along with the marriage because editorial was made up of a bunch of star fukkers who wanted to stay in the Reginald Hudlin business. Once Hudlin left they could revert everything back to the status quo with the characters that Marvel always wanted.
Please, both were created and owned by white people.
Black people don't control the properties, so they (whites) can do whatever they want with them. That's why I am not to thrilled with the characters listed, because most of them are owned by white intellectual properties.
ALl in all, don't expect whites to make a positive portrayal of a black couple in a comic book owned and edited by whites.
EDIT: Unless his name is Todd McFarlene

They had no business getting married but whatever.
That's a matter of opinion. The characters DO have history. The point isn't about the marriage it's about the disrespectful and bullshyt way the RELATIONSHIP was handled AFTER the marriage
they hardly if ever interacted with one another until all of sudden they retconned them having history.
