I created a thread about Dick Grayson/Nightwing and Koriand'r/Starfire. It is to acknowledge and honor their iconic and popular relationship.
I created a fan page about Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson. This page is for all the Spider-Marriage fans.

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
"He's pure power and doesn't even know it. He's the best of us."-Matt Murdock
"I need a reason to take the mask off."-Peter Parker
"My heart half-breaks at how easy it is to lie to him. It breaks all the way when he believes me without question." Felicia Hardy
That's more or less a modern thing though. Back in the day, nearly every hero was expected to have a civilian love interest. (As well as a civilian supporting cast.) It made the superpowered nature of the character more special when juxtaposed with his or her non-powered peers.
If written well, either version will be interesting. The problem is modern writers have no interest in investing time in the superhero's out of costume relationships. (For example: Captain Marvel and War Machine where 95% of the relationship happened off panel, or the "tell, don't show" nature of Peter Parker and his so perfect for him relationship with Carlie Cooper.)
I'll always be a Peter x Felicia shipper, but at the same time I'm loving the smaller romantic moments of Pete and MJ in the current Spencer run.
"The White Queen welcomes you, TO DIE!"
some of my superhero couples besides Peter Parker/Mary Jane are both costumed
Nightwing/Starfire (the Wolfman comics run got me into it)
Batman/Catwoman
Cyclops/Marvel Girl
I love the smaller romantic moments of Pete and MJ in the current Spencer run too.
Spencer got me enjoying Spider-Man comics again.
I am glad that MJ is back in Spider-Man comics and has returned to Peter as his love interest
I am grateful for a Peter/MJ fan writing The Amazing Spider-Man.
I have been reading the older comics when Peter and MJ were married.
I sure miss the Spider-Marriage!

That's actually a very good point, that the human aspect of these superhuman characters is all too often lacking in contemporary comics, which is what used to be provided by the civilian supporting cast. In my opinion at least, that makes it considerably harder to feel empathy for a lot of these characters when they no longer seem all that personally invested in the world (and people) they protect.
The spider is always on the hunt.

Superhero relationships can work under a good writer doing the story. I prefer to see a relationship develop the bond of friendship through shared interest linking the story together. So much wasted potential, in the case of Captain Marvel and Spider-Man. I'm glad that Slott never went there because he would have ruined it big time.

Was it me, or was there a recent comic that stated that Felicia is in her early twenties?
