It seems that the X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises are about to get closer, because Kitty Pryde and Star-Lord are getting married. That twist came as the crossover storyline Guardians of the Galaxy & X-Men: Black Vortex wrapped up today. Star-Lord took advantage of the two teams' big victory by taking Kitty on a romantic space walk, serenading her, and ultimately proposing to her.

The two characters first started dating last year when Brian Bendis' All-New X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy comics first crossed paths. Kitty has been a recurring player in Sam Humphries' Legendary Star-Lord since then, as the two have embarked on various cosmic capers and battled Star-Lord's father, Emperor J-Son of Spartax.This wasn't the only big development to occur in Black Vortex Omega. Many of the X-Men and Guardians were transformed by the titular Black Vortex over the course of the story, gaining newfound cosmic abilities but risking corruption by the artifact. Several characters (including Angel, Gamora and Kitty herself) chose to retain those abilities. So not only is Kitty getting married, she's now one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel Universe. In a bout of poetic justice, the issue also saw J-Son frozen in amber stasis by Thane (son of Thanos) and added to the Collector's massive stockpile of cosmic trinkets.Also, this happened:It remains to be seen if Kitty and Star-Lord will actually make it to the altar. Superhero marriages have a notoriously rocky history, as we saw from the Spider-Man: One More day storyline and DC's controversial decision to block Batwoman and Maggie Sawyer from getting married. At the very least, it looks as though the upcoming Secret Wars storyline will put a damper in their plans. The Legendary Star-Lord will be replaced by a new series called Star-Lord & Kitty Pryde during Secret Wars, pairing Peter Quill with the Kitty Pryde of the Age of Apocalypse universe rather than his fiancee.What do you think? Do Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde deserve some wedded bliss, or does Kitty need to go back to hanging out with the X-Men? Let us know your thoughts on this twist in the comments below.
