10 Couples in the Most Controversial and Hated Comic Stories, Number 1 is the Strangest!

10. Stargirl and Shazam The relationship between Stargirl and Shazam actually began from a simple attraction between young superheroes in the JSA. Billy Batson and Courtney Whitmore have a good chemistry when interacting as ordinary teenagers. Many readers even feel that their relationship seems genuine and not forced. Problems began to arise when Billy transformed into Captain Marvel and appeared much more mature than Courtney. For outsiders who do not know Billy's secret identity, their relationship seems very strange and inappropriate. For that reason, Billy ultimately chose to end their relationship to keep his secret safe.

9. Aunt May and Richard Parker Marvel once created an alternate story through the miniseries TROUBLE featuring a young version of Aunt May and Richard Parker. In the story, Richard has an affair with May, resulting in her becoming pregnant with Peter Parker. This idea immediately shocked many fans of SPIDER-MAN. Many readers felt that the story was too strange and unnecessary to be connected to Peter Parker's origins. Fortunately, this tale is not considered canon in the main universe Earth-616. That is why this controversial relationship ultimately became just a small part of Marvel's alternate world.

8. Star Sapphire and Green Lantern When hearing about Star Sapphire and Green Lantern, some fans might immediately think of Carol Ferris and Hal Jordan. However, this controversial relationship actually involves Carol with Kyle Rayner in the New 52 era. Their relationship emerged after Carol broke up with Hal. Many fans feel that the relationship lacked strong chemistry from the start. Carol and Kyle also did not have a significant closeness in the GREEN LANTERN story. After the Rebirth era began, their relationship was gradually erased and rarely discussed again by DC.

7. Mary Jane Watson and Paul Rabin Paul Rabin became one of the SPIDER-MAN characters that modern readers quickly hated. He lived with Mary Jane for years in a destroyed world while building a small family together. That relationship pushed Peter Parker further away from Mary Jane. Most fans consider Paul to be just an obstacle in the classic relationship between Peter and MJ. Hatred for this character even continues to grow every time he appears in a new story. After the "Death Spiral" event, Paul's death was ultimately seen as the end of one of the most controversial SPIDER-MAN eras.

6. Donna Troy and Terry Long Donna Troy's relationship with Terry Long began when Terry was introduced as an older college professor. Their age difference immediately made many readers uncomfortable. Nevertheless, their relationship continued to develop until they got married. The marriage did not last long and ultimately ended tragically. Terry and their son died in a car accident after the divorce occurred. To this day, this relationship is still regarded as one of the worst decisions in Titans history.

5. Magneto and Rogue The relationship between Rogue and Magneto has always been a divisive topic among X-MEN fans. Although Gambit is known as Rogue's most iconic partner, Magneto has appeared several times as a figure who catches Rogue's attention. Their relationship appears in several different story versions. Some readers enjoy the dynamic between the young mutant and the powerful leader like Magneto. However, many also find the relationship strange due to their age difference and character traits. Whenever this relationship resurfaces, debates among fans almost always reignite.

4. Supergirl and Lex Luthor In this relationship, Supergirl is not Kara Zor-El, but rather Matrix, a shapeshifting alien created by Lex Luthor. Matrix then takes on the identity of Supergirl and starts acting as a new DC superhero. Shortly after, a romantic relationship with Lex begins. This relationship concept is considered too strange even by superhero comic story standards. Many fans feel that the relationship lacks a reasonable foundation and feels very forced. Because of this, DC has almost never revisited this story in modern SUPERMAN stories.

3. Ultimate version of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver The Ultimate Universe is known for often making extreme changes to classic Marvel characters. One of the most controversial is the relationship between the Ultimate version of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Marvel depicts them as having a closeness that far exceeds that of a typical sibling relationship. The story then explicitly shows that Wanda and Pietro are romantically in love with each other. Many fans felt that this decision was too disturbing and inappropriate to be included in a Marvel story. To this day, their relationship is still considered one of the biggest controversies in the Ultimate Universe.

2. Superman and Wonder Woman DC once tried to make Superman and Wonder Woman the main couple in the New 52 era. Conceptually, the relationship between these two greatest DC heroes does seem grand and strong. However, many readers felt that their relationship lacked the emotion and warmth characteristic of Superman. Superman fans themselves preferred the dynamic between Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Wonder Woman was also seen as more fitting to have a standalone story without that relationship. In the end, DC decided to end this relationship through the next continuity change.

1. Ms. Marvel and Marcus Immortus Avengers #200 became one of the most controversial Marvel comics in history. In the story, Carol Danvers suddenly becomes pregnant and gives birth to Marcus Immortus in a short time. This situation developed into a storyline that was very disturbing for many readers. Marcus then grows up and manipulates Carol again to conceive him once more. Many fans considered this story to have crossed a line and was truly inappropriate for Marvel to publish. The significant backlash eventually led Marvel to apologize for the controversial tale.
