Infidelity/Cheating in DC Comics

[The Kid]

This was something I was just thinking about and made me pretty curious. Have there ever been characters who have cheated or been cheated on by a significant other? The only ones I can think of is Jean Loring having an affair (and Ray leaving to some adventure and hooking up with some Princess) and Ollie straying once or twice. I can understand why they don't do it because cheating can often make characters unforgivable to many people like Crystal or Cyclops at Marvel but are there any other examples?

Oliver Queen: The Thread.

Other than that, I think Renee Montoya has a bit of a history there (She's basically the female version of Ollie).

[The Kid]

There's also Jim Gordon who's def had multiple affairs over the years!

yeah Oliver Queen and Renee have a hard time not fucking anyone interested in them

Didn't he only cheat on his wife with Sarah Essen (who then later became his wife)?

Although I guess there was that idea that he fathered Barbara Gordon with his sister-in-law...

Yep although the second one has obviously been retconned away. So I guess it's really only one affair

There was that time Dick slept with Babs, after she had gone through the Killing Joke, right when he was about to get married to Starfire.

I don't think Kori ever found out about it.

One of the most disgusting retcons ever and completely driven by the Titan Office/Bat Office Dick fight.

The Bat office is sad they have the inferior ship. Wolfman and Perez for the win.

Jade cheated on Kyle Rayner while he was in space.

[The Darknight Detective]

Dinah Drake Lance and Ted Knight both retcon-cheated (ugh!) on their spouses.

[SJNeal]

Jade cheated on Kyle Rayner while he was in space.

I totally forgot about that one!

Prior to that, hadn't Kyle cheated on Donna Troy with Jade? Or am I completely senile...?

[Frontier]

Dinah Drake Lance and Ted Knight both retcon-cheated (ugh!) on their spouses.

Y'know, I was kind of uncomfortable with that (especially on Ted's part) but I think Robinson handled it pretty reasonably for what it was.

Of course, Ted and Dinah both kind of got off pretty well for cheating on their spouses...

When did that happen?

In James Robinson's Starman.
