Best Comic Book Couples

Fights are on a whole other level when you have super powers
We've all idolized comic heroes at some point in our lives. We've all secretly wished we had some kind of super power whether it was flying or the ability to scale skyscrapers. But the only thing better than being a superhero is being a superhero power couple. Take a look with us as we unveil the best superhero couples of all time. Which superhero couple do you think describes your relationship?

The love triangle-Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman



These three are probably the most iconic comic figures to date. Wonder Woman was originally a member of an all female tribe the Amazons, who were set to bring peace, love and of course, sexual equality to a world torn about by man. With her Lasso of Truth and indestructible accessories, there is nothing this woman can't do, or man for that matter, that she can't tame.
Superman on the other hand is the American dream. A good old Midwestern boy, Clark Kent was really just a specimen born on the planet Krypton with born given super powers (talk about natural talent). His buddy Batman is philanthropist Bruce Wayne by day, superhero by night.
Together, the three are often referred to as the "trinity" in DC characters and though it may seem that Wonder Woman and Superman would be oh so cute together, with their matching outfits and all, perhaps the third wheel Batman was really the catch for Wonder Woman. Check out the clip below as Wonder Woman intrudes on Superman's bromance.


Superman and Lois Lane



Comic lovers know that the real love in Superman's life (sorry Batman) was Lois Lane, reporter for The Daily Planet. If you've stayed with DC long enough, Lane has even become Superman's wife in recent issues.
This is one love story that tugs at heart strings everywhere. The idea that an average, everyday girl is swooped up by a gorgeous man with super powers is, well, every girls dream to put it bluntly.
I mean, if this guy did this for you, wouldn't you be speechless?

Elektra and Daredevil

These two are the epitome of a love/hate relationship. Elektra is one girl you don't want to mess with. A ninja assassin of Greek descent, it is her violent lifestyle that eventually divides the two.
But as they say opposites attract, and the opposite of Elektra would have to be Daredevil. He is one of the only superheroes with a disability, being that he was blinded as a kid in a radioactive accident. His accident may have taken his sight, but it gave him radar senses to everything around him. Though Elektra was just one of many love interests in his life as most guys Daredevil certainly seemed to have a type. When he wasn't interested in high danger ladies, like Elektra he went for the "ordinary" and somewhat plain girl, who often ended up killed or traumatized by being in his presence. Ouch.

The perfect couple: Spiderman and Mary Jane

We use the term "perfect" loosely when it comes to Peter Parker and Mary Jane's relationship, as no relationship where people are always after your man for dead is really ever that perfect. But these two showed an unconditional love that many other comics don't. Peter Parker was a bit of a dork, dealing with the typical cruel high school world along with loneliness and rejection. But when Mary Jane started to notice Spiderman, that was all he needed.
They were more than just in lust however, these two were best friends and in some scenarios, husband and wife. And though in some tales, Spiderman has moved on to greener pastures, such as Gwen Stacy and the Black Cat, Mary Jane is still #1 in our hearts.
