Inter-Superhero Romances

[Slimybug]

So I had a question about some of the possible romances between heroes within DC Comics so I thought I'd create a thread for the whole concept. Here are my questions.

1) I know that there is a longstanding rivalry between Power Girl and Wildcat based on his chauvinistic attitude, but I've also read at least once that he may be attracted to her. Is there any hints in comics of a budding romance between these two?

2) Kingdom Come shows a world in which Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel have a child. One of my few comic experiences with them is Crisis, in which he calls her "sis." Have these two ever been shown to have a thing, or is it only in Kingdom Come?

3) Question and Huntress have a relationship in the DCAU. Has this ever been a thing in the comics?

Depending on where continuity lands for them, there might be a huge age difference?

2) Kingdom Come shows a world in which Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel have a child. One of my few comic experiences with them is Crisis, in which he calls her "sis." Have these two ever been shown to have a thing, or is it only in Kingdom Come?

They have fun at it in the new (ugh blond) version of Freddy.



Which is fine, but yeah long term I prefer they end up seeing each-other as brother and sister. I don't ever need to see them end up together, or have a kid LOL!

1. No.
2. I don't know.
3. Doubt it. At least not with Sage.

Before the DCAU pairing, they were kinda close in the "Huntress: Cry for Blood" mini. He helped her out when she was having a tough time, but I don't recall seeing it go very far romantically - at least not officially.

Sometimes they work out, other times, well...



You KNOW they're about the same age, but when Billy goes Marvel, it just feels off.

Sorry for the tangent, but when did Courtney have a staff like that??

But to bring it back on topic, the JSA seemed to flirt with the idea of Dr Mid-Nite (Cross) and Black Canary pairing up. I really liked it at the time, but then it seemed to fizzle out and they of course brought her back with Green Arrow.

She was hosting the Christmas parade that year?

Black Canary & Green Arrow
Black Canary & Doctor Mid-Nite
Black Canary & Batman (it’s true, google it)
Power Girl & Aquaman
Power Girl & Hal Jordan

Raven & Beast Boy
Saturn Girl & Lightning Lad

If I remember right, there’s also Duo Damsel & Bouncing Boy and Supergirl & Brainiac 5, though I’m not sure it was ever shown that his attraction to her was reciprocated (as in the DCAU). Did Triplicate Girl and Karate Kid have a thing in Countdown or were they just good friends? You know it’s been said once an audience sees a man and a woman together they assume they’re going to fall in love. Maybe that’s why Mary Marvel & Captain Marvel Jr. got thrown together

Just to name a few. I’ve never read The New 52 but apparently there’s stuff like Starfire & Jason Todd?
