Superhero's Significant Other Mem

The Superhero's Significant Other Meme


You're just an average Joe (or Joanna, as the case may be). You live a normal, unassuming life and go on with your day-to-day business. There is, however, one thing about you that is a little unusual - beside your sparkling personality.

You're dating a superhero.

So, what's in this week's issue? Are you childhood friends come together? Do you actually know your love is that caped crusader? If you do, is it a thorn in your side that you will always come second to the cause? Of course, there's always going to be that annoying time where they try to "protect" you by breaking up with you. Oh joy. Well, at least, how's your sex life? Surely those super powers can make for some interesting bedroom trysts. Maybe after one of them, you can tell your beau that you're a superhero, too.

...but what if your significant other isn't the hero? What if they're the villain?

Red Hood | Batman BatB

[aceinthehood]

[Superhero with body issues and psychological trauma, handle with care. He'll bring you really nice flowers, though.]

Music Meister | Batman BatB

[hypnotic_patter]

[Supervillain...though options for situation where he doesn't know you're a hero and you don't know he's a villain and therefore shenanigans.]

Andrew Carter | Hogan's Heroes

[stlg13bomber]

[Supportive asexual boyfriend. Heroes with explosion related superpowers strongly encouraged.]

Gentleman Ghost | Batman BatB

[Rich, refined, incapable of knocking you up. He's a wonderful boyfriend if you can handle the illegality part.]

Peter Parker | MCU | OTA

[stupidbutgreat]

[Anything you want!]

[sailor_v]

[So this spider guy is ridiculously hot...body-wise at least...maybe his suit doesn't really give her any details beyond overall shape and musculature, and maybe she kind of loves being rescued and swept off of her feet every now and again. But at the end of the day, it's just a silly crush. She loves her boyfriend Peter, and he's the one she's off to see. So after an awkward grinning apology and tripping over a park bench, she dashes away from the webcrawler to the cafe where she was supposed to meet Peter so they can study together over cocoa and pastries.]

[Or, well. She can study, and he can tutor. He seems like he knows everything already! There's not much she can give him in return, except for her love and loyalty. And she's got plenty of THAT in supply!]

[When Mina reaches the cafe, a quick scan shows that she somehow managed to get there ahead of him. Wow, lucky! She wasn't entirely sure he'd believe her if she said she got held up by some freaky dude in spandex and rescued by Spider-Man. Might as well order for him! She steps up to the counter, ordering two mugs of hot chocolate and a cherry tart for them to share...which she wouldn't have been able to do if that villain had made off with her purse, the vile fiend! No one, but NO ONE, can stop Minako from treating her super awesome brainy nerdy boyfriend!]

Rider/Iskandar/Alexander the Great || Fate/Zero || OTA

[ranthatbitchover]

((ooc: Being a Heroic Spirit totally counts as being a superhero!))

Minako Aino/Sailor Venus | Sailor Moon | F/M

[Did someone say identity hijinks with a supervillain boyfriend?]

Orihime Inoue | Bleach | F/M

Re: Tim Drake | DC Comics | ota

[queenofgreen]

She looked up groggily from the pillow when he walked in, giving him a sleepy smile. She couldn't be angry at him for coming in so late (or early. It depended on how you looked at it). It was his apartment, after all, and she'd been out all night, too.

"Mmm, hey Sexy," she said, pushing herself up on one elbow. She was wearing one of his dress shirts, the cuffs unbuttoned and rolled up, and her blonde hair was artfully mussed, as though she had been sleeping. Yet...her makeup was still perfect. Then again, her makeup was always perfect. Robyn Queen was never, ever seen without her face on. Not even by her boyfriend...Who wasn't supposed to be expecting her in his bed. He still hadn't given her a key, after all.

* * *

Thirty minutes before, he'd received the alert from his security system. The window at the fire escape had been tripped, and the video feed showed his tall blonde significant other stumbling into the living room wearing a miniskirt and a sequined halter top, pausing to pull off her very expensive stiletto heels lest she be even less graceful on her way to his bathroom.

The Flash - dcau - ota

[scarletspeedster]

[[Superhero for preference but I'm also cool with spicing it up with normal Wally West, forensic scientist. 18+ characters for shipping please.]]

[6collegecredits]

[Darcy hadn't exactly had high expectations when she'd snagged the internship at a local science lab. It had all come down to some crossed wires in the registration department, since political science wasn't exactly science science. But she was getting the credits she needed to graduate, and that was what had mattered at the time. She definitely hadn't expected to meet any good-looking, funny guys hanging around the lab and yet she'd found one. Over the months she and Wally had grown close and Darcy took every opportunity she could to get him alone.

She'd heard him coming down the hall, and so laid in wait by one of the lab's storage closet. When he got close enough she snagged him by the lab coat and pulled him in for a kiss.]

Hey there. Long time no see.

Teen!Scott Summers | All new x-men | Cyclops (2014)

[initia_nova]

[Superhero by default due to his canon but if he's with another superhero that's more than okay too. His list of issues is longer than my arm but he's a polite and attentive partner.]

[stupidbutgreat]

[Interested in a Peter Parker?]

Kitty Pryde | X-Men films | ota

[phasing_cat]

[Totes the superhero]

[stupidbutgreat]

[Being in the city without his suit had to have been Peter's stupidest decision of the day. What was he thinking? In all honesty, he hadn't been. He could picture in his head exactly where he'd put it, but then he'd answered the phone, and left his apartment distracted, and that was that. But Kitty was there, and he'd never been more relieved for someone else with superpowers in his life. He tried to stay out of the way, but it was hard. Instead, he let himself watch her, something he could usually never do.]

Stephanie Brown / DC

[theeggplantwonder]

[trainedbythebat]

(She may have forced her way into 'the life,' but Tim had to admit: there's no one better he'd wanna call when things were tough. Except for Dick, but then again they were brothers. This thing with Steph...this on/off thing...

There was a reason part of him was pleased Tam had broken things off with him. Sure she met him for Neon Knights work but that was all it was. Just work. And what was the former Boy Wonder doing? About to call it a night, but for Tim getting in around 1 meant it had to be a slow night.

Maybe Damian was doing something right after all, aside from threatening to kill his allies...)

Steve Rogers l MCU l ota

[feels_taller]

[Superhero duh!]

Crossover okay? Lemme know if anything doesn't work.

[lady_blackhawk]

[Imagining Zin as a Marvel instead of DC character, so no Oracle or Birds of Prey, so... (also stealing a little from BoP 75). This also could be dating or just a lose friendship. Either works!]

Unlike Steve, Zinda had put her days of fighting behind her. For now, anyway. There were offers from SHIELD to train their pilots in combat maneuvers, and for actual field agent jobs, but her arrival in the present had only been a year, at most behind Steve. She didn't feel ready yet to jump in to any thing.


The future, she was having an easy time getting used to. People didn't look at her funny when she said she was a pilot. No one talked about her wardrobe like it was a scandal. She could buy her own drinks. And they made lipstick that lasted 24 hours. She'd tested that stuff in several bar brawls, and damn if it wasn't worth every penny. And the tech really wasn't that hard to figure out, she'd been flying planes all her adult life. A damn iphone wasn't a challenge.

But in connectimg with her old friend, she found someone who understood the losses with the gains. Like the bottle she held in her hands now. "I found it, going through some of the old stuff in storage," she explained, sitting next to him.

"The whole thing was a joke," she said, setting the champagne bottle down in front of them. "A tontine. The last one of us left would drink it. None of us expected to see the end of the damn war. But we all did. And it's just me, now." She rested her head on his shoulder.
