Heroes/Heroines with archenemies of the opposite sex.

I guess you can call the Harlequin Joker relationship this. (If you consider Harley a hero now). But other then that it’s quite rare.

Harley/Joker
Jessica Jones/Purple-man

Can’t really think of any male heroes with a female archenemy.

Well, offhand, I can think of heroines with male archenemies, although mostly from animation...

Wonder Woman and (arguably) Ares

She-Ra and Hordak

Star Butterfly and Toffee

Queen Elsa and Hans

Anastasia and Rasputin

Powerpuff Girls and Mojo Jojo


For heroes with female archenemies, there are fewer I can recall...

Captain N and Mother Brain

Professor Farnsworth and Mom

Earthworm Jim and Queen Slug-For-A-Butt

Scrooge McDuck and Magica DeSpell



These are all debatable, of course, but if I think of more, I'll add 'em.

[Hybrid]

Catwoman and Black Mask
Firestorm and Killer Frost
Richard Dragon and Lady Shiva
Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike
Longshot and Spiral
Kamala Khan and Kamran

Yeah this is pretty tough.

I guess it depends on what's meant by 'archenemy'... is it their primary enemy or is it a major enemy? For instance, I'd consider Sabertooth to be Wolverine's primary enemy over Lady Deathstrike, but she's still one of his major ones.

I was thinking primary.
