About

Sad Wolverine Seeing Jean Grey and Cyclops Kiss is an image macro featuring characters from the superhero animated television show X-Men: The Animated Series. The image features the character Wolverine seeing his unrequited love Jean Grey kiss her boyfriend Cyclops. Many have used the image to express feelings of loneliness and exclusion.

Origin

On January 30th, 2020, Fox aired the X-Men episode "Captive Hearts."[1] In the episode, a gang of mutants captures Jean Grey and Cyclops while the couple are on a date. After their rescue, Wolverine, who loves Jean, sees the two kiss, turns his back to them and looks sad (shown below).
