Havok is in a relationship with fellow X-Men member, Polaris. Havok was also in a relationship with the clone of Jean Grey, Madeline Prior. Unfortunately, the clone became emotionally unstable, brainwashed Havok and attempted to use him in a plot to take over the Earth and convert it into a demonic realm full of demons and goblins. Eventually, he came to his senses and Madeline was killed in a battle with the X-Men.

He is a very close friend of Wolverine and the two team members have shared an adventure together chronicled in the Havok & Wolverine limited series graphic novel, published in the late 1980's.
