So far I’ve brought you my top five best and worst comic couples, but I haven’t necessarily listed my favorites. some couples included may be repeated from my previous postings, but I list here now my top 5 favorite comic book couples (married or unmarried)

5. Gambit and Rogue (X-Men)- Imagine if you will: A charming but scheming Cajun boy who woo’s all the ladies and falls for a southern belle who can’t touch anyone without risk of death or coma. You can always feel the electricity between these two, and the not being able to touch angle can make things tense. Still, these two are obviously meant to be.

4.Peter Parker & Mary Jane (Spider-Man)- These two ranked previously on my top five best comic couples, but they are also amongst my favorite as well. Although MJ doesn’t always like that Pete puts himself in danger on a daily basis, she still supports him while leading a life and career all her own. Right now, their marriage has been annulled in current continuity, and technically never happened, but we all know better. Hey Marvel! Get these two back together.

3. Batman and Catwoman- Although these two basically just flirt with each other while being at odds, you just know there’s romantic tension between the two. They just each wish the other can come around to their side of the law. As we’ve seen in Hush, it’s not unfeasible for these two to get together, but Bruce Wayne will forever be obsessed and driven to be Batman.

2. Green Arrow & Black Canary- Ollie and Dinah make for the best married super-hero couple that I can think of. They’re both very passionate about one another, and they always back each other up well in a fight. Ollie may have a reputation as a womanizer, but no one has a home in his heart quite like his pretty bird.

1.Collosus & Kitty Pryde (X-Men) Although the X-Men are primarily a metaphor about prejudice, it is usually told in the format of an action oriented soap opera. This has brought us the unending saga of Scott and Jean, Rogue and Gambit Dazzler & Longshot, Storm and Forge. But hands down, my favorite X-couple is Kitty and Peter. I can’t really explain it. I just like these two.

I can only imagine married life to be as exciting as it is for the couples listed above. I’m sure Jenni and I will have lot’s of adventures in our lifetime, but I doubt we’ll have to stop the world devouring Galactus, or get whisked away to a Secret War. Who knows.
