DC and Marvel Universe have given fans a lot of superheroes to root for and fear over the years. These characters have become ingrained in movies and shows that have become big successes. The superheroes from these franchises have endured many obstacles, and love is one of them.
Fans have been introduced to some powerful and dynamic superhero couples over the years, and these couples have become some fan favorites. From Black Panther and Storm to Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman, these romantic partners have seen their share of trials and tribulations but they still chose to give love a shot. Fans at Ranker have helped pick out the best of the best.
10 Black Bolt & Medusa
A couple that proves true love can surpass words and communication, Black Bolt and Medusa are made for each other. With Black Bolt unable to speak due to his sonic energy powers, he was isolated for the entirety of his childhood with Medusa visiting him regularly and their bond forming.
After Black Bolt is released from his isolation at the age of 18, the two fall in love. The pair become King and Queen of the Inhumans, and though their love is separated by universes, they are still one.
9 Black Panther & Storm
Though their pasts were intertwined and their future would become complicated, Black Panther and Storm would still be a power couple in their own right. The Avenger and the X-Men member initially met when they were teenagers, which is something only comic book fans would know about their relationship, and would later meet again on their respective teams.
Although they weren’t fighting on the same side, they would eventually give their love a shot and marry. However, differences would tear them apart and they would eventually go their separate ways but this doesn’t take away from the fact that they were a Marvel Universe power couple.
8 Ant-Man & The Wasp
Probably one of the most tumultuous relationships in the Marvel Universe all around, Ant-Man and Wasp (Hank and Janet) were trapped in an on/off relationship. They truly loved each other and took every opportunity to make their love and marriage work for them.
In probably one of the most controversial moments in Marvel history and one of the worst things Ant-Man has ever done, Hank (Ant-Man) struck Janet, making him branded as a wife-beater. This is something that will be linked to Hank’s character forever. These two tried to survive their problems and mistakes, however, they just couldn’t get it right but fans still liked them during their good days.
7 Green Arrow & Black Canary
Another couple whose relationship took an on/off-again status is the Green Arrow and Black Canary, who are an iconic pair. They fight together side by side, with one always having the other’s back. They seem to disagree on some topics, however, that doesn’t erase their protectiveness of each other.
The chemistry between Black Canary and Green Arrow is never lacking, which gave way to them having their son Connor together. This pair respects and acknowledges the decisions of the other, and works well as a team, making them a favorite among superhero couples.
6 Daredevil & Elektra
A comic book fact about Daredevil and Elektra’s relationship is the fact that Elektra got started as a supervillain. Trained as an assassin and raised to kill, Elektra and Daredevil’s relationship always seemed to be fraught with sorrow and sadness with Elektra dying on him on a few occasions.
Even though they seemed to constantly go their separate ways, the pairing is truly a force together and even apart. They each have their own unique skill sets that make them able to independently take care of themselves and sometimes each other.
5 Luke Cage & Jessica Jones
Perhaps the happiest superhero couple in the Marvel Universe, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage built a friendship before they developed their relationship. They developed it into a loving one after a one-night stand led to Jessica’s pregnancy with their daughter.
Although the start of their committed relationship proved unconventional, this didn’t stop the two from going all in and getting married after the birth of their daughter, building a happy and balanced life between raising their child and fighting crime.
4 Batman & Catwoman
A DC romance that always seems to come out on the other side, Batman and Catwoman is a superhero couple that knows how to do date nights. They each have a pension for rooftops and it seems that this is something that becomes a staple point in their relationship. Although only some comics explore the relationship between Batman and Catwoman in-depth, it’s easy to see and understand their relationship at one glance.
Starting as relative foes, Selina Kyle (Catwoman), a thief turned hero, and Brue Wayne (Batwoman) became a duo to be feared in Gotham City. They had each other’s backs and were true partners in every sense of the word. What makes them a favorite is the fact that each is willing to sacrifice their lives and happiness for others. Bruce sacrifices his life for Gotham’s wellbeing, and Selina sacrifices her happiness with Bruce for the sake of Gotham so Bruce could be the Batman that they need.
3 Mr. Fantastic & The Invisible Woman
Considered one of the longest-lasting marriages in the Marvel Universe, Sue Storm and Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman) endured a lot of hurdles and forces that wanted to see them slip away from one another.
They were the founding members of the Fantastic Four, and faced lots of foes, sometimes on opposite sides from each other. Even then, they always came back together, ready to sacrifice for each other.
2 Vision & Scarlet Witch
A tragic love story for some, but an epic one for others, Vision and Scarlet Witch’s relationship was one that just fit together. They got each other in ways that other people didn’t and that’s what made them work.
Vision saw the good in Scarlet Witch and she saw the good in him. They would each sacrifice their life if it meant the other would come out unscathed and okay. Even though their happiness was short-lived in building their ideal life, their love for one another can’t be erased or forgotten. Both supernatural beings and a part of the Avengers, they just fit together perfectly, both romantically and on a partnership level.
1 Gambit & Rogue
Considered the #1 favorite superhero couple of all time, Gambit and Rogue’s relationship always seemed to be one up in the air. Each of them comes from tragic beginnings and this is something that essentially brings them together as a bond. They can see that they’re not alone through the presence of the other, however, this was sometimes a toxic situation.
Both Gambit and Rogue had obstacles thrown at them that seemed to pull them apart from one another and on top of this, they rarely ever touched. Even with all that they faced and endured, they always seemed to forgive and fight for each other.
