"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
Yeah, I loved Udon Taskmaster's mini-series. He's one of those guys who can't quite carry his own series, but he's just about as cool as a character can be before breaking that barrier.
Blue Marvel & Scarlet Witch.
-or-
Blue Marvel & Doctor Strange.
-or-
Blue Marvel and Adam Warlock.
I feel like Hawkeye and Ant-Man would be a good pairing. Both ex-criminals, both have senses of humor, and both of them regularly get dusted off to try out as new solo series time and again, with varying degrees of success.
But beyond that, what made Deadpool and Cable work were their mismatched personalities (Luke and Danny, for their differences, weren't so dynamically opposite). Finding something like that would be a lot of fun too, so maybe something just completely out of left-field and outlandish like, I don't know, Blade and Speedball.

Well, Christopher Priest has said that part of the idea behind Quantum & Woody (whose editor went on to write Cable & Deadpool) was to do a book like PM&IF.
Anyway they're all different from each other, but Cable and Deadpool were two solo stars who (temporarily, in Deadpool's case) could no longer carry a solo comic, so they put them in a book together despite not really having much in common. Which is the Power Man & Iron Fist formula.
Does anyone else think that Power Man and Iron Fist were ruined by Luke Cage dropping the Power Man name? Power Man and Iron Fist sounds really cool, like it should be accompanied by a 1970's explosion. POWER MAN AND IRON FIST!!! *background KABOOM!*
Don't understand why they ruined the energy of that name by making Luke Cage just go by "Cage".
