exit it to superheroes to set an example for the rest of us , even when it comes to co - dependency and mess - up relationships . Here are some bright costumed romances that cater anti - role poser for the rest of us .
Hawkman / Hawkgirl
It ’s the love without final stage , although that ’s part of the trouble . Hawkman and Hawkgirl are a couple of superheroes in a state of lasting Renaissance , destined to be reincarnate , find each other and fall in love . But knowing that ’s your destiny is one affair , and feeling it is another , especially when you do n’t necessarily like the other person . DC ’s most recent personification of Hawkman and Hawkgirl ignored the pressure and outlook of circumstances and lend new meaning to on - again , off - again romances ( Mostly by ignoring that “ on - again ” part ) , only manage to admit their love seconds before being killed in Blackest Night . Ouch .
The Atom / Jean Loring
Everyone ’s had that ex that they just ca n’t stay off from , but how many people ’s exes kill their friends and then become have by supererogatory - dimensional incarnation of evil ? I conceive more than a few hands in the audience went down with that last part . The Atom dissociate Jean Loring when she was discovered having an thing , but when an attempt to rekindle the flame of their romance end with her torch their mutual friend Sue Dibny with a flamethrower after accidentally killing her by step on her encephalon , Loring became malefic trickster goddess Eclipso and tried to destruct reality in the service of Darkseid . Some masses just ca n’t let go .
Sub - Mariner / Marrina
He ’s the King of Atlantis ! She ’s a superhero grown from an exotic egg that was provide submersed for so long that she ’s become semi - aquatic ! sincerely , nothing could pull these two unseasoned lovers asunder , with the exception of the part where she gets meaning and her internal secretion turn her into a elephantine monster with a face resemble a vagina with tooth hellbent on wipeout that he has to kill . Unluckily for him – and the audience – she ’s only pretend dead , and is impart back decades later as a genetically qualify vagina monster that must destroy because she is in heat . Or something . This time , the Sub - Mariner really killed her , because sometimes you ’ve just got to put these hormonal womanhood in their place . Or something . Thanks , Marvel Comics ’ Gender Relations Department !
Daredevil / Karen Page
It ’s a story as old as the Sunday : Boy hire girlfriend as writing table for his lawfirm , male child falls in honey with girl , son reveals superheroic cloak-and-dagger identity operator to girl , female child fly to Hollywood to become an actress , girl becomes pornstar addicted to heroin and sells secret identity of boy to crime honcho , male child undergoes aflutter breakdown before forgiving and reuniting with fille , little girl becomes anti - pornography talk tuner host who believes she ’s HIV overconfident but is n’t , girl is killed in arms of boy by boy ’s puckish - nemesis . That ’s what I love about superhero cartoon strip : They ’re just like my life .
Green Lantern Kyle Rayner / Alex DeWitt
It says something about the repetitious nature of Kyle Rayner ’s tragic relationship that it eventually got turned into a plot point , but that ’s after it had launch the site / movement call Women In Refrigerators . Why that especial name , you may ask ? It ’s because Kyle ’s “ Uncle Ben ” here and now that taught him that , with greatly powered magical rings comes great responsibility was n’t just that lady friend Alex was killed , but that she was kill and had her corpse stuff in a electric refrigerator for Kyle to find . As motivational tools go , it ’s kind of extreme , but as a plot gimmick , it ’s downright tacky .
The Wasp / Hank Pym
Never mind the report as a wifebeater , there was so much wrong with the relationship between Marvel ’s primary Avengers match of Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne before he thought to call down his clenched fist . For illustration , that whole nervous partitioning that made him into a schizophrenic and conduct to Janet conjoin him because she recognized the fashion he kiss but did n’t want to prompt him of his old self ? Or his building a robot that became fixated on her and ultimately built his own robot modeled after her personality that Pym ended up having a relationship with ? Or the weird , controlling ( and cuckolding ) mode that Van Dyne treated Pym during their marriage ? Without a dubiousness , this was comedian most nonadaptive family relationship , and made all the moreso by the telephone number of creators who keep getting them back together after numerous split .
Cyclops / Jean Grey
The X - Men ’s dream duet are proof that sometimes love life is n’t enough . teen sweetheart , Scott Summers and Jean Grey kept getting separated for various reasons that included her being replaced by a cosmic entity , his getting married to someone who turned out to be a clone of her , his having a telepathic affair with another woman and her death . Even in alternate realities , it does n’t work out ; parallel world series disco biscuit - Men constantly showed that Grey cheated on Summers with Wolverine and , following Wolverine ’s death , then solicit up with the Beast . Maybe they simply got together too immature .
Spider - Man / Black Cat
delve back into the worrying issues of comic book professionals , welcome to the tumultuous relationship between Spider - Man and Catwoman rip - off the Black Cat . She was a woman who revere Spider - Man so much that she gave up her fashion of living – and almost her life itself on multiple occasions – to impress him , but was only interested in excitement and hedonistic following , her status as fancy objective became somewhat questionable recently when it was revealed that she ’s not let to take care at Peter Parker ’s boldness while they have sex activity . No , really ; there ’s a scene where Peter makes sure she did n’t take care at him without the mask on . That ’s either taking the clandestine identity affair too far or some eldritch spirit level of dominance that I ’m not certain I need to think about in connection to Spider - Man .
