Top 10 Superhero Friendships


everybody needs a best friend even
superheroes welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 superhero comic
friendships we’re gonna work together
you might want to try trusting me a
little bit how much do you trust me for
this list we’re focusing on those
friendships between characters that have
no father-son type relationship such as
Batman and Alfred we’re also not
including friendships between a
superhero and a non superhero nor are we
including Batman and Superman because
they have more of a working relationship
than a friendship we’re also limiting
our list to those friendships that
existed before either person became the
others sidekick on fret about it all man
number 10 Captain America and the Falcon
Sam Wilson Steve Rogers yeah I kind of
put that together if you weren’t
familiar with caps sidekick before last
year Captain America the Winter Soldier
certainly brought their friendship to
the forefront I can’t ask you to do this
you got out for a good reason do Captain
America needs my help it’s no better
reason to get back in the pair received
their own comic book series in the 1970s
and again in the early 2000s in the
Cinematic Universe both Steve Rogers and
Sam Wilson share a background in the
military which draws them together when
I was over there I sleep on the ground
use rock for pillows like a caveman in
the comics however Wilson had a troubled
childhood and eventually ended up in a
gang
he eventually meets Rogers who convinces
him to become the Falcon together they
are able to defeat the Red Skull and the
partnership is born you don’t have to
come with me I know
when do we start number nine Wolverine
and kitty pryde expen don’t have room
for war need brats just who are you
calling Marnie I’ll show you
Wolverine isn’t an easy person to get
along with he’s hot-tempered irrational
and for the most part prefers to be
alone
what’s the matter half fine am I reading
too lovely for you he pried also known
as shadow cat was one of the few people
to get through to him and the two
maintain a close relationship this might
sting a little
the pair even teamed up for their own
limited series in the mid-80s both Kitty
and Wolverine head to Japan where kitty
is brainwashed but is ultimately saved
by Wolverine who acts as a mentor
throughout the series where if I need to
get a little rocky some peaceful
thoughts
peaceful thoughts now break the flash
and Green Lantern nothing’s gonna get
through this baby while Barry Allen and
Hal Jordan have had a long-standing
working relationship
their friendship does not compare to
that of the newer incarnations of the
flash and Green Lantern Wally West and
Kyle Rayner Wally and Kyle were drawn to
each other immediately following the
creation of the new Justice League
thanks in large part to their youth and
love of goofing around that was quite a
stunt you just pulled I know can’t wait
to catch the rerun whether it’s
generating Rock’em Sock’em robots with
the Green Lantern’s ring or insulting
each other mid-battle their friendship
is truly built to last
that about wraps you up number seven

the occasionally hot-headed Raphael and
the passionate Casey complement each
other perfectly and make for an
effective partnership and friendship you

friendships are between people who are
incredibly alike other times it’s
between people who don’t seem to have
anything in common as is the case
between kick ass and hit girl hit girl

kick ass is sensitive and it experienced
