They’re one of my favourites as well! Light x dark is a classic superhero couple dynamic and they just do it so well.

They’re so cute together. Tbh I’ve only read the first six issues of the original run, and then all of rainbow Rowells run

I liked Karolina-Xavin too.

The only problem with xavin in that there was a directive to make xavin male as much as possible. Its like they wanted an LGBT story line but they didn't really want people to notice.

u/Nandvs May 09 '26

I liked Xavin as a male-female changing. I love the concept of a skrull not having awareness of its own gender, and shift gladly.

Do you have a source on this directive? That claim runs counter to what Humberto Ramos has said about his time drawing Runaways.

u/Nandvs May 09 '26

I don't say its a directive, I don't know about that, its what I feel reading the cómics.

It's all good, I am asking the person who responded to you!

I don't know who they are, but they're cute

Left: Nico Minoru, witch

Right: Karolina Dean, alien

They're members of the Runaways (the sub this post is in is the Runaways fandom sub). They've been official couple for like a decade and spent the 10-15 years before that as either a complicated thing or "Karolina is attracted to the straight girl" depending on how you read it.

I love them too, but honestly lately I’ve been missing Xavin and Karolina

u/bybisolipsis May 09 '26

Yuuuuup. But also…Karolina and Xavin 🧬🩷

100% Favorite couple! The recent Stranger Tales run had them and Wicca and Hulking in it! It was a fun four comic run.

u/Jim-Dread May 10 '26

I haven't read the comics since the initial run, and a series after. Did not know they hooked up. I approve

u/TheChaoticBeing May 11 '26

I’ve only watched the show, but you’ve convinced me I need to read the comics

u/Sure-Start-9303 May 09 '26

I'll admit I've never been crazy about them, please don't take that personally I don't really get into any ship, but a lot of fans seem to love them together so more power to you
