Greetings nerdy list aficionados and welcome back top 10 nerd. Today we are back in the
realm of hook ups and today we’re going to tackle some you wouldn’t believe . The
word used is weird but weird is relative some of these will make perfect sense to some of
you true love, different strokes for different folks. Some of these couple have an interesting
history, or are squicky or just for a more recent fan may come out of left field so get
excited. I’m Sasha and these are the Top 10 Weirdest comic book hook ups. Let’s do
this.
Number 10 - Batgirl Batman – Did you think you were safe from the roof top aggressive
you’re not my real dad love making scene of the animated killing joke adaptation well
think again. The killing joke adaptation made some changes to the Barbara storyline as there
is a circle out there for feel the killing joke is misogninistic and that as a female
comic fan you should not like it. No one tells me what to do I love the killing joke. The
solution was to open the movie with batgirl and have her have a plot about spiraling out
of control when it came to violence and her anger culminating in her mounting bruce on
a rooftop when he confronted her and the two having sex, and then her getting really weird
about it and then she gets shot and paralyzed which places her firmly in love interest who
got hurt territory which is in no way better . But don’t tell Brian Azarello that he
will yell at you and call you a pussy aka kitty cat look it up it happened. Now this
movie involved Bruce Timm who has long liked the idea that Barbara has a crush on Bruce,
and ok but it’s very much his headcanon that keeps making it’s way into canon cause
he has the power it also made it into the batman beyond verse where she would miscarry
his child. Sleeping with your sons love interest, and one of your close friends’ daughters.
Classy.
Number 9 - Scarlet Witch Quicksilver – Of course we’re going to talk about the incestuous
relationship between twins Wanda and Pietro maximoff from the ultimate universe a relationship
that occurred cause edgy and cause it would make you care more about Wanda? This is one
of those facts about the ultimate universe that people will never forget it’s up there
with the blob eating the wasp, tony and black widow’s sex tape, miles morales. IT also
was odd cause the comic would shame captain America for being squicked out by it, it would
be all come on capsicle get with the times banging your sister in the bushes while wolverine
watches is what the kids want it boosts sales.
Number 8 - Nightwing Huntress – Nightwing would begin a flirtation with Helena bertinelli
huntress after she was reintroduced in cry for blood after first having been re-introduced
in 1989 after her character had been tweaked post crisis on infinite earths. Now some of
you may be saying pfft big whoop and big whoop indeed the only awkward thing here was that
Barbara didn’t like her and she called him once after he’d spent the night with her
and he was super awkward about it. But in the pre crisis where the two were raised as
siblings they would have a flirtation as well. Why cause well why not, every story can be
flowers in the attic v c Andrews was on to something. I mean you could argue maybe the
two didn’t view each other that way but at the same time many have the knee jerk don’t
go there reaction. I mean she was supposed to be the batgirl of Earth 2 so would that
extend too… no leave it alone it’s over.
Number 7 - Tony Stark Black Widow – Now this isn’t weird at all really these two
both hook up a lot so it would seem more an inevitability that they would have dated she
was introduced in the marvel universe as a femme fatale villain in the iron man comics.
However what is weird is how little people think about it. These two dated for awhile
in the 80s and it was lowkey serious yeah it was treated as a sexy thing you know kinky
keep the suit on style stuff but the two would also talk and go to events together one of
the great things about tony is he’s not very judgemental and for people with a past
like Natasha that’s a really relaxing trait to have in a partner. Tony’s had a lot of
romances people really don’t seem to remember he was not an a list character pre 2008 don’t
let blogs fool you. People knew who he was but c list maybe. That’s not shade just
fact. Black widow for her part has more iconic canonical romance, Hawkeye , daredevil the
winter soldier which seriously mcu major missed opportunity why bring it up in civil war if
you weren’t going to do anything. Yeah there’s still time but seriously all those peak interest
opportunities.
Number 6 - Magneto Rogue – Magneto and Rogue are actually a pretty iconic couple and yet
for many people when they see it they react with ew. So what is the pull between Rogue
and the master of Magnetism it started in the savage land as a kind of fling but then
became full blown relationship in the alternate timeline age of apocalypse and that bled back
into the mainverse where they have hooked up multiple times and she even had a thing
for his clone. So why cause it’s weird when you see people in forums they gripe about
it but at the same time there must be a group of people who like it. How old is magento
it’s nebulous I mean it varies also some people age him up just cause he has grey hair
and in a realm where people are hooking up with vampires and people as old as wolverine
and mystique who are we to judge I mean I know who people on the internet. But honestly
these two have had some interesting storylines I know he’s not Gambit but it’s ok you
know she’ll always bounce back to gambit they’re endgame.
Number 5 - Thor She Hulk – This sure is a relationship that is happening/happened
we’re dealing with modern ear Jennifer so the one who is more reminiscent of the hulk
than ever she looks like him struggles with her transformations like him and also has
a bit less control though she’s getting that back like him. Some would argue in their
move to modernize her by making her quote unquote ugly which she isn’t actually just
buff and that opens up a whole other can of worms they’ve made her more hulk like than
ever but you know who digs it or dug it before Carol beheaded him. Thor helped Jennifer regain
some control over herself and is super into how mighty she is now they can smash together
in more ways than one I’m so sorry. Some would deem this weird cause it just kinda
seemed to come out of nowhere like who can help Jennifer I know Thor why shhhhh. Of course
for some this is perfect and these two have had some really sweet moments. And when they
combine abilities like with gamma lightning that is pretty cool!
Number 4 - Rogue Deadpool – Deadpool and Rogue were on the same team that Deadpool
actually banrkrolled and she would actually find herself drawn him. And the two would
share a kiss that would somehow involve the transference of his appearance to her. Which
really that’s not a power but a manifestation of his powers still it leads to a sweet moment
where she tells him that she doesn’t care what he looks like she would ultimately be
repelled by his more brutal nature but would tell gambit that he was a great kisser maybe
because he was less attractive he actually had to hone his technique Deadpool is a character
who will just be thrown into romances cause, he needs love can there be permanent love
for Deadpool can there be permanent love for anyone.
Number 3 - Black Canary Batman Now really there’s nothing weird about this but it
is very out of left field in the bronze age this was flirted with Black Canary had a crush
on Batman and he seemed to like her as well it was a bit of a contrast to Ollie believe
it or not at the time Bruce was kind and considerate. They would team up for a brave and the bold
comic where she would end up tied to a chair in her underwear just cause and he would save
her. Later in the all star batman frank miller universe her and batman would have sex next
to a bar that was burning down so it probably smelled terrible. Honestly they have potential
but if you take her away from green arrow fans would riot even though that comic where
they were married he was well Ollie can be a bit trying can’t he. Give Bruce and Dinah
a chance she’s so solid and dependable and good with kids they’d be such a power couple
the world would tremble.
Number 2 - Quentin Quire Gwenpool – Quentin Quire is one of the new x-men he debuted in
New X-Men #134 in 2003 and he is / was I’m not leaving myself open to anything an omega
level mutant. He would end up dating Gwenpool the character created because of the popularity
of a Deadpool variant cover who was from our universe and had meta abilities but found
herself thrown into the comic world. This happened while they were both on the west
coast avengers. I mean I get why she fell for him what with her penchant towards bad
boy edge and danger but why her to him well she was more stable on the avengers less manic.
However she appears to have broken up with him as of Gwenpool strikes back via text.
This series is an odd meta thesis on why gwenpool should exist which intends to prove it cause…she
exists. She’s lucky Quentin is stable breaking up with people via text not the most endearing.
Number 1 - Captain Marvel Stargirl – That’s right love for Billy Batson. Shazam for a
period was working with the JSA the justice society of America and on that team was stargirl.
Now most people don’t know Billy’s true identity the fact that he’s young a teen
but Courtney did and she was surprised to find that they were the same age. The two
had crushes on each other so he actually proceeded to ask her out the problem whenever he was
at hq he was shazam so he looked like an adult, and adult asking out a teenage girl. The rest
of the team did not react well they thought that he was a creep it really hurt Billy’s
feelings and put a damper on their romance. Billy actually broke up with her and left
the team rather than reveal his secret identity and they didn’t even get back together when
they team found out he was age appropriate sad. Judgement killed their love.
So share with me what you think are the weirdest superhero hook ups down below. I’m Sasha
