Hey guys, I'm Kat Jovey and Welcome to Top 10 Nerd.
Superheros are these wildly powerful beings.
They are often full of adrenaline from fighting and saving the world.
They also have to team up often to beat an extra difficult villain.
So it’s no wonder they have gone astray now and then on their significant others.
Some affairs fans have been waiting for and hoped for over the years and others have been
a bit of a shock.
Some are rumours and some are rather blatant.
Today we’re going to look at the top 10 superheroes who have had affairs.
10) At number 10 we have Superman cheating on Lois with a mermaid.
I know, your mind is blown.
I thought I’d start off with a bit of a silly one.
So this is a way back playback and a little stretch but hear me out.
In Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane Issue 30, Lois Lane visits a famous astronomer for
a story about his telescope.
But it’s a special telescope, it has the power to see and hear activity on other worlds.
They check it out but the bad luck it that Lois ends up finding out that on a distant
planet, Superman has a wife and child and they are mermaids.
She’s, of course, crushed since he’s living a double life.
And gosh, the ways your would question yourself...how can you live up to a mermaid?
But it turns out it just looks like him and is actually a robot.
whooooo
9) On to number 9 we have Batman having an affair with Wonderwoman.
At least it’s suspected.
Look, superheros have morals there are less that ACTUALLY cheat than you might expect,
but don’t worry, hang on and we will get to the true cheaters.
In Batman Issue 39 his faithfulness to Catwoman is tested.
He and Wonder Woman go on a mission to The Realm where time is different than it is back
home.
They go there to give someone else a break from holding off these endless evil hordes
trying to get into our realm.
An hour or two here could be a year there.
Batman has always had a lot of respect for Wonder Woman and then being away from his
betrothed for years and years and being in endless battles with all that adrenaline...something
is bound to happen.
In the final pages of the comic they are talking about how they don’t know if they will ever
be able to leave The Realm where they are holding of the hordes and in the final panel...the
warriors lean in close and…so not confirmed but….seems juicy!
8)At number 8 we have Gambit and Rogue.
As a kid growing up and watching Xmen I have to say they were my favourite in the series.
I loved their banter and had the biggest crush on Gambit.
He’s lied to Rouge many times over the years but one bad one would be when he started things
with Rouge while still being married to Bella Donna.
There are also rumours that he had something with Minnie Mastiff in Gambit Issue 25.
However, they break up and make up so often that sometimes it’s tough to keep it all
straight and really now when they were and werent togehter.
7) At number 7 we have Aquaman and Mera (Mira) They have a super dramatic relationship to
be sure.
But following a horrible event where one of their children dies in the Adventure Comics
Issue 452 she turns against her husband and goes on this full villian mode.
She’s sort of out of the picture for a bit and he’s trying to keep things together.
He ends up getting together with Dolphin (this genetically modified human with Atlantean
powers).
But what makes this was extra juicy is that she actually walks in on them in bed together.
DRAMA!!!!
Don’t worry, all is forgiven eventually but...it’s dramatic.
6) At number 6 we have the INVISIBLE WOMAN AKA Sue Storm.
Mr. Fantastic is...well fantastic and all but Im sure he spends a lot of him time at
his lab working on science and such.
It’s no wonder she found affection elsewhere, not that I'm condone this.
Heres a story for you!
On their 40th anniversary, he steps out to solve something so has to bail on her.
She goes out for a girls night and tells a story about a wild night in Wakanda.
She was really curious about The Black Panther back in the day, he sounds so mysterious,
power and handsome, even though she’s never met him.
Then he shows and and is actually attacking them and she gets
titillated.
It turns out Black Panther was just testing them to see if they were formidable.
She continues the story and talks about him being so fast she couldn't even close her
bubble in time.
Then she fast forwards in the story and say one night shes walking about the castle unable
to sleep, Mr Fantastic is asleep or hard at work, and she hears music and Black Panther
is there playing piano.
They get to chatting and he suggests they go for a walk because thats what he usually
does when he can’t sleep.
But it’s a jungle so he should probably go too.
They end up walking by the black lagoon that he explains is kept warm through their fancy
technology...then says hes going to take a dip..wanna join?
Obviously no one brought a suit….soooo you have these those superheros, naked, swimming
about in this nice warm lagoon in the middle of this beautiful jungle.
They are talking and getting closer and closer.
He asks is shes married to Reed….long pause...yes happily so….long pause almost kissing and
he backs up.
And hey head back.
Okay, so not a true cheat but whoa it was close and steaming and she should have never
put herself in that situation if Mr Fantastic is her man.
But good for them for backing away from their attraction to each other.
She’s also shared some romantic kisses with the King of Atlantis, she thinks Mr Fantastic
might be dead but isn’t sure when this happens.
And there was that time with Dr Doom but he did have to alter reality to make it happen
so maybe it’s not her bad.
5) At number 5 we have Barbara Gordon or BatGirl While she is with Dick Grayson/Nightwing in
Batman Beyond 2.0 it comes to light that she was also having interludes with Batman.
Now, Nightwing is out of town at this juncture but….still...It starts to get somewhat serious
and she gets per pregnant (but doesn't know it yet).
How is this for a soap opera: Shes 4 weeks pregnant when NightWing gets back and they
start their relationship up again but then she finds out shes pregnant a few weeks after.
She tells batman, he wants to tell Nightwing.
Nightwing beats the hell out of him and Batgirl miscarries…whoa.
4) But don’t worry at number 4 we have NIGHTWING!
So don’t feel that bad for him.
That’s right, it turns out Nightwing has a dark past.
In Nightwing Issue 52 he and Catwoman keep crossing paths and during a shootout, he’s
not able to hold back his feelings any longer for CATWOMAN who is seeing Batman at the time.
They lock lips!
GASP.
Now it turns out that Catwoman sort of started to lead him on to make Batman jealous.
Man, that girls head is just not on right.
3) At number 3 we have Mystique Now, I know she is usually the bad guy but
she’s also been a superhero...for short bursts.
At one point she ends up getting married to Baron Christian Wagner, an affluent member
of German nobility.
He’s a lovely husband to her but apparently disappointing in the bedroom.
Tough Break.
Mystique is really wanting some satisfaction and to have a child so she starts using her
shape-shifting powers in order to secretly have sexual encounters with others behind
her husbands back.
I mean that is the ideal cheating power.
She starts seeing Azazel, gets pregnant and her husband gets suspensions and is considering
a DNA test when she kills and buries him.
Tough love Baron Wagner.
2) At number 2 I have to say Cyclops And which do you choose.
I would stay miles away from a relationship with Scotty boy.
He marries Jean Grey’s clone after Jean dies (but doesnt know she is a clone, even
though they look identical) and has a kid with her.
But then Jean pops up and isn’t dead...so instead of doing the right thing and staying
with his family he bails on them to be “with his one true love” ...like that softens
it.
Can I also mention the time he cheated on Jean Grey?
That’s right, he cheated on a mind reader.
How dumb do you have to be?!
He must have been MAGIC in bed!
He got hot and heavy with a psychic affair with Emma Frost while still married to Jean.
tisk tisk Scotty.
1) At number 1 we have Jean Grey.
So I guess don’t feel TOO bad for Cyclops.
There has always been this love triangle between Cyclops, Jean and Wolverine.
So something was bound to happen there BUT She just no better than her damn man...maybe
worse really.
Thus the number 1 spot.
Not only has she shared passionate kisses with wolverine on multiple occasions but she
has also locked lips with Hank, AKA Beast.
She also kissed Miles Morales AKA Spider man in The Ultimate Adventure.
Those lips have been getting around.
Now many of them are under extenuating circumstances but....
We expect more from this fiery redhead.
And there you have it, the Top 10 Superheroes who have had Affairs.
