One of the major ways in which the creators entertain and keep the fans guessing is by pairing their favorite characters in a romantic relationship which is doomed because there can never be a true happy ending to their stories. Here are 18 of such comic book couples which can never be in a stable relationship.
Screen Rant lists out some of the most popular doomed couples from Marvel, DC and Image comics who cannot have a stable relationship either because of behavioral mismatch, dimensional crisis or just plain timings.
1. Harley Quinn and the Joker
The most dysfunctional couple who are most admired by many people around the world. Their relationship is a list of the worst way in which a man can treat his lady due to fact that he killed her many times, tortured her, and threw her in chemicals just to see if she really loved him enough.
2. Batman and all his girlfriends
Batman has a long run in being the ladies man but that comes with its own downsides, because all his girlfriends including Kathy Kane, Sasha Bordeaux and Silver St. Cloud who cared for him have ended up dying which does not make him an ideal choice for a life partner.
3. Superman and Wonder Woman
The couple entirely lacked any love or chemistry but just had a bonding due to similar traits and powers which didn't really make them an ideal couple.
4. Thor and Jane Foster
The story of a God being separated from his human love is far stretched out and proves true in this case as Thor has many Asgardian duties to fulfill and wants Jane to live safely.
5. Black Panther and Storm
The married couple faced many difficulties due to the situations which demanded serious judgments and actions to be taken. They are the most ideal couple of the whole lot in the comics.
6. The Hulk and Betty Ross
The problem of the green monster took away the very romantic and promising relationship that Dr.Banner could have had. The rage and frequent transformations cause a problem in the relationship emotionally and physically.
7. Deadpool and Vanessa
The shape-shifting seductress and the merk-with-the-mouth, have been the epitome of love and hate relationships after multiple attempts of murdering each other.
8. Cyclops and Jean Grey
The couple has a lack of loyalty for each other and have anger issues which cannot be handled alone. This functionality defect has often lead to many problems in the "x-men" series.
Some of the other couple who follow the same type of dysfunctional qualities and cannot be in a stable relation are:
9. Ant-man and Wasp
10. Robin (Dick Grayson) and Starfire
