* ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} has many.

* In a miniseries from the '90s, Greer Grant-Nelson aka Tigra of ComicBook/TheAvengers infiltrated a police academy to find answers about the murder of her husband Billy. While there she met and fell in love with Sergeant Matt [=McMullin=] who was an instructor at the academy. Unfortunately for Greer, Matt was involved with the Brethren of the Blue Fist, a group of vigilante cops operating out of the academy. Worse, Matt was revealed to have been the one who killed Billy to keep him from exposing the Brethren's crimes.
* ''ComicBook/AllNewUltimates'': [[Characters/UltimateSpiderManMilesMorales Miles Morales]] received a TakeThatKiss from Diamondback. It was not mutual nor consensual but got worried that he may not be loyal to Kate Bishop because of it.

* Franchise/SpiderMan and the Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}} who became Spider-Man's girlfriend for a couple of years before he married [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] and on-and-off lover after the "[[ComicBook/OneMoreDay divorce]]". However, things between them soured ''badly'' during the ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan's run-in with the Cat (who, like everyone, didn't know that [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]] had taken over Spidey's body): he beat her up and left her to the police without so much as a "hello". Not only was she arrested, but everything she'd pilfered over the years was confiscated. This caused her to snap and perform a full-on FaceHeelTurn. Her "queenpin" lifestyle led to nothing but stints in hospital and general humiliation from more experienced mobsters, and she eventually turned good again. She realized the reason she couldn't think straight was that she no longer knew Spider-Man's identity. Peter ultimately decided to share his secret with her, triggering a much-needed reconciliation.

** Subverted with The Queen in ''ComicBook/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. Despite her beautiful appearance and her flirting, Spider-Man is not attracted to her at all and finds her disgusting, but that doesn't stop her from forcing herself on him. However, all of New York thought this trope was being played straight when the News captured the first kiss between them and assumed it was Spider-Man who initiated the kiss with his new adversary.

* ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009'' does this with [[Characters/XMen70sMembers Nightcrawler]] and the Characters/ScarletWitch. However, the relationship between them is difficult to define. Kurt cares about her and tries to steer her on the right path, yet never openly admits he cares about her as anything more than a friend. Wanda herself does love Kurt and it's admitted as such, but it's hard trying to date an X-Man when your father's ideology directly opposes theirs. Wanda throughout the first season struggles between the loyalty to her father and her crush on Kurt; [[spoiler: in the end, Nightcrawler's charm finally seeps through and she rejects her father partly because of Kurt's influence, mostly because he was willing to sacrifice other mutants to achieve his ultimate goal]]. (Before anyone thinks this is completely out of the blue, there ''is''' actually an AlternateUniverse in the Marvel Multiverse where Kurt and Wanda did get together and they have a girl named Nocturne.)

* [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] Marvel Comics tended to see this pop up a great deal with heroines and manly-man opponents -- e.g. the [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Fantastic 4's]] [[Characters/FantasticFourTheFantasticFour Sue Storm]] to the Comicbook/SubMariner (while he was a functional villain), or the Characters/ScarletWitch towards Arkon (who later dated [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]], but his relationship with the Comicbook/XMen was on friendlier terms). Arguably, this resulted less in creating interesting tension than just creating [[FauxActionGirl a less effective heroine]].

* Comicbook/IronMan and Madame Masque/Whitney Frost. Then again, it's not surprising considering [[ReallyGetsAround the number of paramours]] Tony's had over the years. It came to the point where Frost [[StalkingIsLove masqueraded as Tony's personal secretary]] after they first broke up and resumed their relationship once her cover was blown.

Johnny Storm also dated (and eventually married) a Skrull named Lyja who impersonated Alicia Masters (Ben Grimm's longtime girlfriend). Arguably, as this was all part of a plot and the Torch didn't know who she really was, this may not count. But the two later revealed that they had indeed developed strong feelings for each other.

* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': In the two years since ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', Vision and Wanda Maximoff have secretly been meeting up for romantic holidays, even though Wanda is a fugitive and a member of the Secret Avengers, while Vision is a member of the New Avengers and part of his duties are trying to apprehend rogue superheroes.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' has the usual heavy flirting (and one kiss) between Spider-Man and Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}.

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]] of the X-Men is a notable case in that it's practically become a running gag (and yes, it's been lampshaded) that villains want her (and sometimes Storm herself is interested back). No less than ''Doom himself'' decided at one point that Storm would make for a perfect consort.
* ComicBook/AntMan [[http://l7world.com/2015/08/ant-man-goes-out-with-a-bang-ant-man-last-days.html ended up having this kind of relationship with Beetle]]. He didn't take this development well because when he first became a superhero Captain America expressly warned him to avoid this trope.
