Top 10 Dysfunctional Superhero Relationships


just because they’re super doesn’t mean
they’re without flaws spider-man just
move around fine a huge welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
dysfunctional superhero relationships
sounded expensive
I’m guessing okay for this list we will
be looking at super hero and super
villain couples from comic books and
other mediums that came with some heavy
baggage whether it be emotional or
physical disputes much did you do that I
don’t do freaky deaky while their love
triangle is legendary Archie Betty and
Veronica aren’t super so they’re
excluded
we’re also excluding relationships that
were short flings or one-night stands
this is sitting around drinking cocoa
and getting funny looks from rich people
yeah well next time plan your own during
vacation Oh she’ll wait number 10
Cyclops and Emma Frost you had me
worried geez
oh yeah
fans of the x-men franchise are fully
aware that the most sought-after lady
was Jean Grey
aka Jean Grey she had Wolverine pining
for her but in the end her heart
belonged to the optic laser blasting
Scott Summers she was nice to the guy he
got the wrong idea
so you finally confronted him about it
you might say that in the comics however
Jean dies as heroes are what to do
however she stayed dead long enough for
Cyclops to move on and start dating the
reformed villain Emma Frost with whom he
was already having a psychic affair with
anyway
pathetic
their relationship was rocky at best
however as Emma Frost was never able to
fully shake her dark side and Cyclops
felt guilty over genes death could we
have done more to save her in the past
she may have letters number 9 spider-man
and black cat you got a sweet little
steel set there’s fighting you want in
on this gig we could split the take gig
take these words are strange to me Peter
Parker may have serious luck with the
ladies but spider-man just seems to
attract the wrong kind of girl the most
dangerous of these was the master thief
and Catwoman wannabe Felicia Hardy aka
the black cat they began their
relationship with simple fun and
flirtation but quarreled over Felicia’s
love of all things shiny
while the pair of had their share of
physical rumps any chance of love was
lost not only due to them operating on
different sides of the law but also
because black hat only has eyes for
spider-man and not the man underneath
dare departure was probably for the best
but there’s no doubt they would have
made an epic power couple I love it when
a plan comes together
thanks for waiting till the last second
timing is everything let me do it this
takes muscle number eight Bruce Banner
and Betty Ross
the Incredible Hulk is known for
breaking lots of stuff unfortunately
that also includes Bruce’s relationship
with his sweetheart while the two tried
their hardest to pursue a happy marriage
the green behemoth didn’t make it easy
for either of them
things were made infinitely more
complicated by the fact that Betty’s
father general Ross swore to bring the
Hulk down even if that means killing
banner in the process please don’t do
this you can’t see this clearly not
getting serious
target is in the overpass eventually
Betty found herself unwillingly
following in her father’s footsteps when
she became the red she-hulk one of the
Hulk’s most formidable enemies these two
doomed lovers are basically a marriage
counselors dream come true though
number seven Elektra and daredevil youth
any best I can trust
mom sweetheart you don’t break into my
house and then talk to me about trust
justice and revenge are two sides of the
same coin and so are these two trained
to be lethal weapons each sharing a
tragic past both operating outside the
law they seem like they were made for
each other
we get arrested for breaking and
entering the fun kind of stops shows
what you know
in some cases they are but with
Daredevils moral code and Electra’s lack
thereof there is some serious strain on
their relationship throw in the fact
that Elektra has a tendency to keep
dying and that Matt Murdock has been
known to take multiple women to bed it’s
safe to say that these two were lacking
a solid foundation to build their
relationship on from the get-go no you
said I was blind so you can see he’s
complicated number six ultimate
Quicksilver and ultimate Scarlet Witch
send out the twins what’s too short
it’s what they signed up for before you
ask yes in the Ultimate Universe they
are still siblings the children of the
infamous mutant supremacist Magneto
these two super powers twins have been
portrayed as both heroes and villains in
the Marvel Universe
sometimes they’re by their father’s side
fighting against the x-men while in
other timelines they’re proud members of
the Avengers they’re romantic and very
physical relationship however is
exclusive to the Ultimate Universe and
certainly comes as a shock to the rest
of the Ultimates the Marvel Cinematic
Universe may take a lot of inspiration
from The Ultimates but we’re glad that
Joss Whedon didn’t decide to include
this aspect in age of Ultron how could
you how could I what number five rogue
and gambit
how about we go to the rien stand how
about getting your butt out of my car
the x-men’s casian master of cards and
southern belle already have more
problems than most when it comes to
their relationship should anyone touch
rogue for too long they risk going into
a coma or even dying what in the world
imagine being in a relationship with
someone can’t even touch however a lot
of their most romantic and tender
moments have come from their inability
to hold each other there one of the
longest-running on-again off-again
couples in the Marvel Universe and
they’re at their most dramatic during
their breaks
don’t you know gammas ready for any time
you sure you’re up to this call share em
loose topspin while both of them have
tried on multiple occasions to move on
their relationship is one of their
characters most defining aspects
number four hawkman and hawkgirl your
flying is still clumsy like a bird just
out of the nest
maybe that’s because up until two months
ago I was a barista not some damn winged
demigoddess the issue considered couples
counseling in some ways you could say
these two were made for each other
and maybe that’s their biggest problem
hailing from thanagar these two wicked
pictures of physical perfection are
stuck in a constant state of rebirth
destined to find each other again and
again until they are claimed by death
starting the cycle all over again
we’re not reincarnated lovers come with
me
once you touch it you’ll understand
hands off huh it’s not surprising that
once they become aware of this cycle
they begin to drift apart in pursuit of
their own lives I’ve been hoping to talk
to you for a very long time and you are
with each incarnation comes new trials
to overcome whether they’re either
running from or accepting their romantic
prison
I’ve waited thousands of years for us to
fight each other
I can write a little longer
number three ultimate giant man and
ultimate wasp easy Hank set down the
very dangerous science thingy and talked
to us you know what this was a bad idea
why don’t you leave it’s no secret that
while his genius was a crucial factor in
helping the Avengers overcome all kinds
of threats Hank Pym also has one hell of
a dark side constrictor was our only
lead to finding out who killed Hank
so Pym was the weak link in your little
Club better off without him probably the
most famous case of domestic abuse among
superheroes this was also a trait that
carried over into the Ultimates comic
book series despite being younger giant
man and the wasps relationship was no
less violent if anything it portrayed
Hank in a much darker way than ever
before the most infamous of these
instances came when he uses his ants to
torture Janet while she’s shrunk down to
her wasp size and then sprayed her with
bug spray when she refused to come out
and talk to him
yeesh you mentioned my wife again and
I’ll show you ferocity number two Batman
and Catwoman hmm probably my imagination
probably not the Caped Crusader has an
extensive list of ladies in his life
while some are just arm candy to sell
the Bruce Wayne playboy billionaire
persona there are a few who have truly
captured his heart and all my days are
trances and all my nightly dreams are
where thy dark eye glances and where thy
footstep gleams our pick of the litter
hand to go to the cat who complements
the bat in almost every way while her
love for thievery constantly causes her
to clash with the dark night it also
guarantees that they will always cross
paths
there’s really no doubt that the to care
for each other and if they weren’t so
stubborn about their own ideals they
would be one of the greatest couples in
comics but for now they’ll just have to
stick to fleeting moonlit romances
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
number one the Joker and Harley Quinn
go away I’m busy come on puddin don’t
you want to rev up your Harley Oh Harley
we know a guy who can make you laugh is
attractive but even you deserve so much
better I give the punchlines around here
got it yes the Clown Prince of Crime
always manages to find himself thugs and
henchmen in his mad quest to break the
bat but his most dedicated follower is
the woman who has given him her heart
which of course he proceeds to step on
and shatter whenever he’s in the mood
excuse me I’ll be just a minute
verbal emotional and physical abuse are
all par for the course with the Joker
and sadly no matter how badly he messes
her up
his Harley will always come leaping back
to him on a moment’s notice
don’t you puddin me I go away and
suddenly you’ve got new friends even
picked a new guy you got it all wrong
baby I was using them to help you escape

myself forever miss Kitka which
superhero or super villain relationship
