they may be tasked with saving the world
from evil but even superheroes need a
little romance in their lives okay so
far you like it welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be counting down our
picks for the top ten comic book
relationships I hope I make it through
this so I could see Peter Parker’s face
one more time for this list we’re
looking at the best super-powered
relationships in both comics and other
forms of media such as film or
television I mean some things have to be
private even for a crime fighter
our only stipulation is that one member
of the relationship has to be considered
a superhero or villain we could be
partners in crime the perfect power
couple number 10
Starfire and Dick Grayson full of
amazing things – best planet I’ve ever
been to one of the most alluring
superheroes in the DC Universe star
fires affections were sought out by
several different characters but it was
Dick Grayson aka
Robin who ended up winning her heart
Starfire
I think uh it’s awesome the way you
shoot star bolts huh they were almost
married once
but Raven who had once again turned evil
interrupted the ceremony Starfire an
alien princess played a large role in
Robins life and helped him create his
own identity Plus her blissful ignorance
of human customs made her all the more
endearing on my home planet such
explosions would mean the gordanians
were attacked
you are certain earth is not under
attack number 9 Jane Foster and Thor and
your relationship to him I’ve never met
him before until she hit him with a car
I grazed him Jane Foster must be
something special to land Thor the
Asgardian god of thunder in the comics
she actually falls in love with both dr.
Donald Blake and Thor unaware that Blake
is actually Thor’s secret identity
things are a bit simpler in the
cinematic universe where Thor never has
an alter ego and the two maintained
their affections despite being in a long
long long long distance relationship the
old world is one of the nine realms of
the cosmos linked to each other by the
branches of Yggdrasil the world’s tree
Thor seems like the faithful type
however and Jane’s genius and patience
is a perfect match for Thor’s boisterous
personality you said you were coming
back I know I know but the Bifrost was
destroyed the nine realms were opted to
the chaos wars were raging Marauders
were pillaging I had to put an end to
the slaughter as excuse ago not terrible
number eight Pepper Potts and iron man
what are you thinking what what do you
think hey I’m thinking I’m busy and
you’re angry about something this
relationship goes far beyond the
stereotypical boss / assistant cliche
the romance between Pepper Potts and
Tony Stark isn’t as explicit in the
comics but is a key element in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe let me just
stop you right here okay
because if you say I one more time
actually hurl something at your head I
think Tony’s self-destructive nature is
regularly kept in check by peppers sense
of responsibility and their feelings for
each other develop naturally over time
their relationship is made official in
the second Iron Man film and their bond
has remained strong ever since weird
it’s okay right I’m not blaming him I
think it was weird you guys look like
two seals fighting over a great number
seven Liz Sherman and Hellboy Liz
unlike the comics where Liz and Hellboy
are just friends their relationship is
an important element of the film series
give up on you Liz and Hellboy are both
members of the BPRD or Bureau for the
paranormal research and defense like all
good superhero relationships the two
have each other’s backs and save each
other’s lives several times in the
second film liz is pregnant and Hellboy
puts her safety above all else
number six Catwoman and Batman shall we
give this matter further consideration
over dinner tonight what a perfectly
lovely idea
as a millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne is
rarely pinned down to one woman as
Batman however he seems to be infatuated
with these sometimes villains sometimes
hero Catwoman meow the two often work
together towards a common goal and
maintain an on-again off-again sort of
relationship give up this life of crime
Catwoman allow me down this coupling
sometimes goes beyond their superhero
personas with both Bruce Wayne and
Selina Kyle becoming romantically
involved in more than one story arc I
have a strangest feeling but I am about
to be utterly and madly carried away
although Catwoman’s criminal desires
often come into conflict with Batman’s
unyielding sense of justice she seems to
be the only woman capable of holding
Bruce Wayne down figuratively and
literally
you
number five Jean Grey and Cyclops keep
feeling something terrible’s about to
happen
I would never let anything happen to you
the relationship between Jean Grae and
Scott Summers is a major plot point in
almost every portrayal of the x-men
characters you gonna tell me to stay
away from me girl well if I had to do
that she wouldn’t be my girl although
initially slow to show affection for
each other the two eventually entered a
relationship and got hitched new you
Scott Summers take this woman to be your
lawfully wedded wife I do with a normal
relationship being practically
impossible
the two take what they can get until the
Phoenix entity inevitably bursts their
bubble even after the Phoenix destroys
Jean Cyclops is never truly able to move
on number four
Sue Storm and Reed Richards have you
been never better
these two Fantastic Four members
actually met and became romantically
involved before they were superheroes
with su meeting Reed when she moved to
California to attend college
remember I first stayed here god I was
nervous their new superpowers didn’t
deter their feelings for each other and
their super-powered son Franklin acts as
their relationships compass the fact
that the two have been together since
1961
makes their relationship one of the most
consistent and longest-running in comic
book history number three Harley Quinn
and the Joker come on puddin don’t you
want to rev up your Harley it takes a
special kind of woman to be attracted to
the Clown Prince of Crime Harley and
Joker’s relationship is one of the most
complex relationships in the DC Universe
with the Joker often physically and
emotionally abusing Harley while the
romance may be very one-sided there’s no
denying that Harley has become an
important part of the Joker’s life
Harley is the one person the Joker can
at least tolerate and when they work
together they can be quite a handful for
Batman to deal with now you’re gonna die
and make everything right
number two Mary Jane Watson and
spider-man
while gwen stacy may have been Peter
Parker’s first love no one had quite the
hold on him as girl-next-door Mary Jane
Watson I want to act on stage really
well that’s perfect
they were initially set up I on May but
their relationship developed following
the death of Gwen at the hands of the
Green Goblin when MJ comforts Peter in
his time of grief lucky for you I’m here
to help the two eventually married in
the amazing spider-man annual number 21
yet Peters commitment to being
spider-man is a constant source of
tension for the two you once told me you
love me I let things get in the way
before there was something I thought I
had to do I don’t have to before we
unveil our number one pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one Lois Lane and Superman you
okay uh-huh
night one of the most famous couples in
all affection Lois Lane and Superman
have maintained a complicated
relationship since their first
appearance in the 1930s Lana Lang
Superman’s first love and Clark Kent
Superman’s alter ego sometimes
complicate their relationship um Lois we
did have date tonight remember Oh Lois
in some versions Lois is aware that
Clark is Superman while in others she is
somehow oblivious look I’m Clark Kent
no I’m Superman regardless this
relationship is the gold standard of
comic book relationships and continues
to be a major plot line in the Superman
franchise as Lois is a key figure in all
of Superman’s adaptations I owe you one
I’d say an exclusive interview with just
about even SF do you agree with our list
