Since today is Valentines Day, I thought I would look at the Top 10 Couples in Comics. These are my picks, and I would love to hear from you on your favorite couples!
10. Black Canary and Green Arrow (Dinah Laurel Lance and Oliver Queen)
This couple has been around for decades and is a staple in the DC Universe. One cannot mention Green Arrow without thinking of Black Canary and vice versa.
9. Scarlet Witch and Vision (Wanda Maximoff and Vision)
A unique and odd paring that works, still has lasting affects on the Marvel Universe to this day even after they split up.
8. Batman and Catwoman (Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle)
The reason this couple is so high on the list is the complex nature of their relationship. The off again-on again nature. The tease of will they get together or will they remain apart and continue to chase one another.
7.Alicia Masters and Thing (Alicia Masters and Ben Grimm)
Alicia and Thing's relationship shows its what's on the inside and your character is what counts. Ben meets Alicia after he becomes The Thing and since Alicia is blind, she couldn't see what he looked like, but it didn't or doesn't matter, they love one another.
6. Rogue and Gambit (Anne Marie and Remy LeBeau)
Rogue and Gambit always seemed like the perfect couple for the X-Men. Both southern born and raised, and hard headed. Not to mention them being fan favorites.
5. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (Harleen Quinzel and Pamela Isley)
After Harley left Joker and Ivy became the friend Harley needed, the two doctors realized the potential for a healthy romance lay in each other. The fan theories pairing the two women up became canon when they finally shared their first kiss together, and one great comic book couple.
4. Nightwing and Batgirl (Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon)
Dick Grayson has long-held feelings for Barbara, going all the way back to when he was still Robin and when she was Batgirl for the first time. Initially, it could have been dismissed as a crush from a young kid. But as they grew older and Dick became Nightwing and Barbara became Oracle, their love only deepened.
3. Mr.Fantastic and Invisible Woman (Reed Richards and Sue Storm)
A classic couple that goes back to the beginning of Marvel and spanning its entire history. The monumental marriage issue in Fantastic Four Annual #3 is still something that is talked about. Half of the First Family of Marvel and a great comic book couple.
2. Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson (Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson)
When it comes to Spider-Man and his relationships, two women will come to mind. Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane. As Gwen will always be Peter's first love, Mary Jane was there during some of Peter's roughest times, including the death of Gwen, and helping him come out the other side, together, cementing them as one of the greatest comic book couples of all time.
1. Superman and Lois Lane (Clark Kent and Lois Lane)
I think there is no question on what had to be number one. Lois and Clark. The template for the superhero and the ever present partner by his side. I think without them, many on this list wouldn't exist.
This is a blog dedicated to comic books and the world surrounding them. With this blog, I not only want to share my love of comics, but you to share yours as well. So I hope you enjoy and welcome!
