History HeterosexualLifePartners / ComicBooks

* [[ComicBook/TheFlash Barry Allen]] and [[GreenLantern Hal Jordan]], especially as written by Creator/MarkWaid.
** And [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Oliver Queen]] and Hal Jordan - one Waid story had Barry ''jealous'' of the time Hal spent with Ollie.

** The last thing Tim thinks of when he almost dies after being attacked by the Council of Spiders is how he'll get to see Conner again.

* Dick Grayson (Robin I[=/=]ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}/Batman III) has a very close friendship with Wally West (ComicBook/KidFlash[=/=]Flash III) ever since they were kids. ''Pre-Flashpoint'', he was often portrayed in a close relationship with Roy Harper (Speedy/Red Arrow/Arsenal) as well.

** In a similar, though more jarring sense, ''Comicbook/{{Cyclops}}'' and Wolverine, with their recent breakup and both sliding down different slopes. Prior to this, the two were often at each other's throats but in a manner similar to two brothers, and when push came to shove they'd be as thick as thieves. In fact, once ''Comicbook/JeanGrey'' (Scott's long time love and late wife, and the woman Wolverine had the hots for) died, thus removing the main source of their bickering, the two stopped arguing so much and became more openly close and friendly. Then Wolverine became a hypocrite and Cyclops became an extremist, and now the two can't stand each other.

** Tony and Steve are almost in a bizarre, giant ass [[LoveDodecahedron HLP Dodecahedron]], given how many people they share this relationship with. As well as each other and the mentioned above, Tony, DependingOnTheWriter, has a, slightly more vitriolic, one with both Bruce Banner (one played up in the recent ''Avengers'' film) and Henry Pym, while Cap also has one with Clint Barton. Clint Barton, meanwhile, has one with Henry Pym too, making things all the more circular, while recent developments have given Hawkeye something similar with Captain Britain. Captain Britain, meanwhile, held a similar, though more aggressive, relationship with Nightcrawler, and, inspite of introductions, a more pleasant one with Pete Wisdom.

* Disney/{{Mickey Mouse}} and Disney/{{Goofy}}. Well, at least in the comics.

** Guy Gardner and John Stewart Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps.

** Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner in Green Lantern Corps. So much so that [[spoiler: Kyle's death causes Guy to become a [[AxeCrazy Red Lantern]].]]

** Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown when Cass was Batgirl. Stephanie was impressed by Cassandra's skills, and asked Cass to teach her to fight. The two became extremely close friends afterwards. Likewise, Stephanie was extremely close to Kara Zor-El alias ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' in the pre-Flashpoint universe.
* Dick Grayson (Robin I/Nightwing/Batman III) has a very close friendship with Wally West (Kid Flash/Flash III) ever since they were kids. ''Pre-Flashpoint'', he was often portrayed in a close relationship with Roy Harper (Speedy/Red Arrow/Arsenal) as well.

* [[Comicbook/RobinSeries Robin/Red Robin (Tim Drake)]] and Comicbook/{{Superboy}} (Conner Kent)

** Tim spends a great deal of time [[spoiler: trying to clone Conner after his death]]. He almost allies himself with Ra's al Ghul at one point in order to perfect his [[spoiler: cloning]] technique.

** Robin, Superboy, and Bart Allen/Impulse/Kid Flash 2/Flash 4. For a lot of people, the three of them are a OneTrueThreesome.

** Batman and ComicbBook/{{Robin}}, despite the MemeticMutation status of the idea that [[http://files.sharenator.com/gay_comic_6_Batman_and_Robin-s249x348-41616-580.jpg they]] [[http://mycomrade.com/images/556.png were]] [[http://nihilobstat.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ambiguously_gay_batman.jpg rather more]]. Considering the number of Robins Bruce has gone through, and the fact Batman is a ParentalSubstitute to most, the "life partner" part doesn't apply. A more straight example would be Batman and James Gordon, going as far back as Gordon being the first one to console Bruce after his parents' death, and Year One where they were the first true ally they had in their struggle to clean up Gotham. Gordon is one of very few people outside the Bat Family or the Justice League that Batman will trust with his life.

* Depending on the writer, Dick Grayson (Robin I/Nightwing/Batman III) had this with either Wally West (Kid Flash/Flash III) or Roy Harper (Speedy/Red Arrow/Arsenal). Or both.

* Comicbook/{{Cable}} and {{Deadpool}} in, well, ''ComicBook/CableAndDeadpool'' (although many fans perceive this as going straight into HoYay). They are extremely close despite Deadpool's personality being obnoxious even at the best of times, and Deadpool was the first person Cable pictured/made psychic contact with while trying to decide whether to [[spoiler: blow himself up. They were genetically commingled, so that "one phone call" would have happened even without intent....And Cable needed to make that contact to manipulate Deadpool into Doing The Right Thing.]]

* Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean of the ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' go back and forth between being HeterosexualLifePartners and having a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship. Complicated by the fact Karolina isn't exactly "heterosexual" ([[IncompatibleOrientation even if Nico is]]).

** Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown when Cass was Batgirl. Stephanie was impressed by Cassandra's skills, and asked Cass to teach her to fight. The two became extremely close friends afterwards. Likewise, they were extremely close to Kara Zor-El alias ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' in the pre-Flashpoint universe.
* Barbara Gordon ''Comicbook/{{Batgirl}}'' and Dinah Lance alias ComicBook/BlackCanary. In the pre-Crisis universe, Supergirl was Barbara's best friend.

** In the pre-Crisis universe, Kara Zor-El and Barbara Gordon were best friends and knew each other's SecretIdentity (although they didn't often team up). During the ''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', Kara encouraged Barbara when Babs were frightened. And Barbara [[spoiler:delivered Kara's eulogy when her friend died]].
** In the post-Crisis continuity, Kara and Stephanie Brown. They love spending time together and helping each other. And if you pick on Steph, you will not know what hit you.

* ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'': Fone Bone, Phony Bone, and Smiley Bone are all companions who have each other backs

--->'''Beetle''' You 'rear-ended' Barry Allen?
--->'''Booster''' Oh, grow up!

--->'''Beetle''' Get a grip, Booster. You're acting like some jilted lover.
--->'''Booster''' Well, that's what it FEELS like!

* [[TheFlash Barry Allen]] and [[GreenLantern Hal Jordan]], especially as written by Creator/MarkWaid.

* [[TheFlash Jay Garrick]] and [[GreenLantern Alan Scott]], as well as their successors, Barry Allen and Hal Jordan and (to a lesser extent) Wally West and Kyle Rayner. Maybe it's just a [[TheFlash Flash]] and GreenLantern thing.

* ComicBook/TheSandman: The Dead Boy Detectives. It helps that they're, y'know, dead, and also [[{{Shotacon}} really, really young.]]

** After [[spoiler: Conner's death]], Tim changes his Robin costume from the traditional red and green to the more somber red in black, explicitly in honor of Conner's colors.

** Fixer also seems to have this status with baron Helmut Zemo.

* {{Peanuts}}:

** Openly mocked by Spider-Man, in an issue where Luke's wife Jessica, upon finding out that Spider-Man was Peter Parker, gushed that they went to the same high school and she had an enormous crush on him. Later, Luke is clearly in a mood and not talking to Spidey, while Spidey tries to explain that he never really noticed her and it was years ago anyway. There's a pause, then Spidey lets fly with this one: "But you and Iron First aren't a thing anymore, right? 'Cause I've been wanting to tap that for a ''long'' time." Luke goes from looking mildly annoyed to ''seriously'' pissed.
