Greetings nerdy list aficionados and welcome back to top 10 nerd we’re looking couples
who went too far. Now what does too far mean well it means a lot of things it can mean
that together they cause catastrophe or just negativity to themselves or the universe they
inhabit, it can be that the way their love or relationship is conveyed is just odd or
makes you want bleach your eyes out. Also some one sided stuff but where the fans infer
it. So we have all the things as always I’m Sasha and these are the top 10 superhero couples
that went too far.
Number 10 – Deadpool and Spider-man Hold up you’re angrily typing they’re not together
spideypool isn’t real how dare you well hold on a moment spideypool may not be canonically
in your face they’re not banging in the sky like some people on this list will be
later but Deadpool has an open and acknowledged crush on Spidey. He loves him and will do
anything for him it’s currently manifesting as a desire to be his friend and prove himself
to be a good enough person to be his friend. And as for spideypool well fan shipping on
this couple is a big part of what got these two a teamup comic since it proved there was
demand and an audience for it. There are many different sides of fandom and they impact
it in different ways. Now when I say Deadpool will do anything I mean anything literally
go to hell and back, let himself be stabbed, decapitated and more just for the hope that
Spidey will spend more than five minutes with him and he can be insulting him those five
minutes he’ll take anything. So how is this too far well when you’re getting killed
by the person you want to spend time with but still hanging out with them it goes to
far. Sometimes it’s just hard to read and it exacerbates deadpool’s instability at
times. This arc ended with them going on a meta camping trip. And Deadpool learning his
identity but oh snap not really also there was a gwenpool crossover and they arrested
he writer. ..unless you love metaness too far.
Number 9 - Batman And Black Canary Sex all star batman and robin so Frank Miller’s
all star batman and robin has become infamous at this point from the goddamn Batman to robin
being forced to eat rats the none smiling full back tattooed joker and one of things
that happened was batman and black canary having sex while the corpses of people they
had beaten up or rather soon to be corpses since the room was on fire. So just them there
banging right beside that but how could you do that it would smell so bad. Why did this
happen well why not? I mean this is the comic where when the instructions between writer
and artist leaked frank was demanding a full on butt panel where the word balloons came
from the butt and the instruction was make em drool. So yeah I’m not surprised this
happened perhaps the worst thing about this whole comic was miller becoming aware it was
a meme and deciding to play it up which was not always for the best.
Number 8 - Superman Wonder Woman – So Superman and wonder Woman have been toyed with as a
couple for decades in dc and in the new 52 they just were a couple but there have been
times when these two together have gone too far they’re a power couple alright that’s
not always a good thing. So in the sequel to the dark knight returns the dark knight
strikes again superman and wonder woman meet up in the sky for some sky sex as you do.
And well it happens and wonder woman proclaims it’s so good she’s pregnant again instantly
pregnant yeah so that was a thing that happened and it just breaks all mood or tone however
more alone the going too far lines we have superman red son the elseworlds tale where
superman is raised in soviet Russia and becomes a communist hero instead as a result. So he
ends up with wonder woman who is impressed by him and falls for him and ends up actually
doing much of what he says without question which leads to some questionable actions especially
as in the comic it’s framed as they’re pretty much oppressors however it all comes
to a head is when superman commands her to break though her own lasso of truth which
breaks her she’s never the same after. So too far when you break one half of the couple
too far. Number 7 - Quick silver and Scarlet witch
why hello ultimate verse we meet again but not for the last time. This is 1610 the ultimate
verse a universe started by Marvel in 2000 to attempt to entice new readers who may be
scared off by marvel’s long backlog of canon. But they also decided to do things differently
different origins etc… So one of the changes that took place was that quicksilver and the
scarlet witch were in a relationship together. Why well because it was meant to build some
pathos for Wanda and because they could and then they would get salty at cap for not getting
or liking their relationship. Pushing boundaries for no reason not even to be a thing well
that’s going too far.
Number 6 - Superman and Power Girl – Yes more incest hooray why not this is about going
to far and now that I said that I know there’s going to be at least one person who’s like
how dare you this is perfectly valid. Well I brought it on myself superman and powergirl
they’re cousins. Now this is more of a passing thing but it still warrants being brought
up as well Powergirl kisses superman as a distraction tactic during a fight between
the JSA and the JLA full on licks him. So a couple of things one cousins ew and two
she’s power girl she has the strength of krypton she doesn’t need to resort to kissing
as a distraction I mean if the boob window isn’t enough to distract it’s time for
another tactic cause something is clearly not working.
Number 5 - Reed and Sue – so Reed and sue for all their difficulties do love each other
and have a solid foundation and work together a s unit so it’s actually here that they
go too far. Which is something their own daughter valeria accuses them of when she leaves to
go live with Doom her godfather whom she calls uncle victor. She notes that her mother in
particular cosigns her father’s more questionable behaviours by staying with him. His cache
of weapons to take out most of the major players in the marvel universe the secrets he’s
kept from their allies and friends. While he by contrast puts up with her almost dalliances
and well he full on emotional affair with namor he 2018 comic can say it’s not canon
all it once I’ve read all their runs and they were a thing. Sometimes standing by your
man can make you end up cosigning some things unless she’s all for it which would make
sense I mean she couldn’t stay otherwise. Why do I want to see sue with the maker why
do I want this what’s wrong with me send help.
Number 4 - Angel Husk this relationship is one that fans cannot really get behind from
a run that many don’t particularly like. This was from the Uncanny X-Men and the storyline
She Lies With Angels and they really mean that though they should have said she flies
with angels. So there was always contention because of the age gap between angel warren
Worthington the third and husk but then he spends the night talking to her mom and she’s
al why are you torturing yourselves is it the age gap cause I don’t care I ship it.
But he’s all no all the people I love die and then paige that’s husk comes in and
is all that’s my decision and they end up fighting outside in front of everyone. And
he’s all I could love you more than Betsy that’s Psylocke and wow is that romantic
I guess so they end up banging in the sky. Full on in front of the x-men and her mom
why why would you do this too far.
Number 3 - Cyclops Emma Frost – So Emma Frost and Cyclops relationship began as a
psychic affair where she was counselling him over some well conflicting feelings he had
about jean and phoenix and everything but she would also pretend to be jean in these
sessions and stuff happened however at the end of that arc. Jean is all you two can be
together and so they are and they become quit the coupe and well Emma’s anti heroness
compiled with cyclops leadership style abrasive and willingness to be clandestine and his
more bitter approach after some reveals about Xavier these two become quite a dangerous
couple a force to reckoned with when they make moves the marvel universe is changed.
Emma even uses Cyclops after his death as a psychic projection for their purposes. It’s
all pretty dark and yet they work as a couple. Unpopular opinion I think they matched better
than him and Jean what are your thoughts.
Number 2 - Scarlet Witch And Vision – Scarlet witch and vision have quite the tangled web
of a relationship that has been polarizing for the very writers at marvel which led to
some of the things that happened. So Vision has the brain patterns of wonder man scarlet
witches previous romantic interest it’s the baseline of his interest in her though
it moves beyond that. These two well she’s tried to destroy him the removal of their
non existent children at the time it was all more complicated than it had to be largely
cause some of the writers hated their marriage comics are full of marriage haters they feel
it stagnates characters I hope they aren’t married cause if I was their partner my feelings
would be hurt. Feel stagnant huh enjoy the couch no not even the couch the floor the
color build character. Vision modelled his robot wife’s brainwaves off of Wanda by
the way. This whole thing is so tangled it really isn’t romantic everything has gone
too far. But they are iconic. Number 1 - Batman Batgirl – So we’re actually
not going to talk about the rooftop sex that happened in the expanded beginning of the
killing joke. We’re going to talk about the expanded dcau verse where the idea of
a crush and then relationship between these two began despite Barbara at first being a
romantic interest for dick. I can hear you snickering stop it. So Bruce and Barbara would
date and for awhile it would be a bit of an affair and in the batman beyond verse it would
be revealed that he had gotten Barbara pregnant and she would actually end up miscarrying
during a fight this would be the start well the second start of the rift between bruce
and dick as well as the one between Barbara and dick. This why did this happen I just
it’s not a terrible plot line but it’s who’s in it. Miscarriage for shock value,
too far.
