* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** Throughout their appearances [[Characters/MCUBlackWidow Black Widow]] and [[Characters/MCUHawkeye Hawkeye]] have been firmly established as having an incredibly close but strictly platonic friendship. ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' reveals that Natasha is the only Avenger that knew about Clint's family and that she's HonoraryAunt to his children with the youngest child being named for her. While they [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar sometimes end up on opposite sides]] it's clear they still care about each other even while fighting. In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' they discover that the only way to acquire the Soul Stone is to sacrifice a person you love and both immediately try to sacrifice themselves to spare the other. [[spoiler:Natasha ends up being the one who dies and Clint is obviously devastated by the loss of his best friend.]]
** ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'': Shawn/Shang-Chi and Katy. They are established as having been best friends for a decade at the beginning of the film, and are so close that Katie insists on accompanying him on a dangerous mission to China after his past as a ChildSoldier for his [[ArchnemesisDad father]]'s NebulousEvilOrganization is revealed.
** ''Film/{{Eternals}}'': Gilgamesh and Thena have had platonic partnership for centuries, with the duo being ForceAndFinesse BashBrothers in ancient times and Gilgamesh promising to help Thena manage her Mahd Wy'ry in the present.

* Series/{{Arrowverse}}
** ''Series/{{Arrow}}''
*** Oliver Queen and Tatsu Yamashiro. During his five years away from home, Tatsu was the only female companion Oliver did not develop romantic/sexual feelings for -- mainly because Tatsu was already married to his other companion and close friend, his handler Maseo Yamashiro. After Oliver saves her life, they develop a close friendship to the point that Tatsu was willing to trust him with the life of her son, Akio. Even after they parted, their friendship endured -- Tatsu was the one who save Oliver's life after his first duel with Ra's al Ghul, and when he called on her to help him end the League of Assassins plot to destroy Star(ling) City, she answered.
*** John Diggle and Felicity Smoak are as close as family. Diggle is very protective of Felicity, and they are each other's sounding boards when it comes to their personal problems.
** ''Series/TheFlash2014''
*** Barry Allen and Caitlin Snow. While they have the occasional ShipTease moment, their relationship is ultimately platonic and they have never shown a romantic interest in one another.
*** Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow have been best friends since before the Particle Accelerator, a friendship that only grew when they were the only ones to stick around after the project "failed". Like Barry and Caitlin above, they share some ShipTease, but no actual desire to get together.
*** Barry Allen and Felicity Smoak are BirdsOfAFeather, and were genuinely fond of each other at one point, but settle as this in the end.
*** Subverted with Barry Allen and Iris West. Iris ''thought'' they were this, only to have that image utterly shattered after Barry finally confessed to her that he'd been in love with her since they were kids. They try to make a go at being this again since Iris was with Eddie Thawne at the time, but it fails -- mainly because it was becoming increasingly obvious to Iris that Barry's feelings were ''not'' unrequited.
** ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''
*** Sara Lance and Ray Palmer, who bond due to being from the same city but have no romantic feelings for one another.
*** Sara Lance and Amaya Jiwe are [[BashBrothers Bash Sisters]], but are not attracted to each other (mainly due to IncompatibleOrientation).
** ''Series/Supergirl2015''
*** By Season Two, Kara mutually breaks up with James and Winn's crush on her has petered out, so she becomes this with both men.
* Mr Steed and Mrs Peel from Brit classic ''Series/TheAvengers1960s''. A [[http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/reviews/1998/08/17review.html marvelous review]] of this show.
* Subverted by Lennier and Delenn in ''Series/BabylonFive''. But not until almost the last episode, when he [[spoiler:gives in to his worst instincts and tries to leave her husband to die during an accident on a starship]].
** Played straight with John Sheridan and Susan Ivanova. Good friends for roughly thirty years, ''very'' close after being stationed together on B5, and not one hint of tension or romantic jealousy between the two. In fact, Susan is Sheridan's biggest ShipperOnDeck for his relationship with Delenn, who by the end of the series she was essentially treating as a sister-in-law.
** This trope however did not prevent Ivanova from being a more than a little peeved that her clinging nightwear didn't inspire at least a flicker of embarassment when Sheridan burst into her stateroom in the wee hours with a plan for the latest crisis.

* Clark and Chloe in ''Series/{{Smallville}}''. They were initially good friends, but became much closer as the seasons went on and she played a far more active role in his journey to becoming Superman. By the later seasons, they are firmly LikeBrotherAndSister, view each other as family, and actively serve as [[{{ShipperOnDeck}} Shippers on Deck]] for each other's relationships (Clark becomes a ShipperOnDeck for Chimmy, and later Chlollie, and in both cases his BigBrotherInstinct compels him to make sure everything was alright in Chloe's relationships, and Chloe becomes a ShipperOnDeck for Clois, repeatedly hinting to Clark and Lois that she thinks they have relationship potential). They also develop a strong working relationship, with Chloe serving as MissionControl for the entire Justice League of America, and Clark working in the field as a superhero.

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** In ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', Black Widow and Hawkeye. They refer to each other as "Nat" and "Clint", engage in CasualDangerDialogue and [[BackToBackBadasses Back-to-Back Badassery.]] Not to mention [[spoiler:her main priority in the first half of the film is to get him back from being BrainWashedAndCrazy, because [[IOweYouMyLife he once chose to spare her when ordered to kill her]].]] When asked by Loki if it's love, she replies vaguely that "love is for children". In ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', it's revealed that Clint is actually married with kids and Natasha ends up developing a relationship with Bruce Banner.
*** By the time of ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', they find each other on opposite sides of the [[SuperheroRegistrationAct Sokovia Accords]], and when they end up personally battling each other, all they do is exchange CasualDangerDialogue and even harp on each other for pulling punches.
--->'''Black Widow''': ''[slammed into the ground and pinned by Clint]'' We're still friends after this, right?\\
'''Hawkeye''': ''[smirks]'' Depends on how hard you hit me.
*** Taken even further in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', where she actually [[spoiler: dies in his place for him to get the Soul Stone.]]
** ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' initially establishes this with Fitz and Simmons, with several Season 1 episodes all but referencing this trope by name. By late Season 3, however, [[spoiler: their relationship is no longer platonic]].
** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', Captain America and Black Widow share an onscreen kiss, pose as lovers when running from S.H.I.E.L.D., and open up emotionally to each other, but decide to remain as close friends. [[ShipperOnDeck She also spends most of the movie trying to get him a date]].
** ''Series/AgentCarter'' portrays the relationship between [[ActionGirl Peggy Carter]] and [[NonActionGuy Howard Stark]] as this. They're clearly VitriolicBestBuds, despite the fact that Stark is usually an unabashed womanizer. This is perhaps best exemplified in the first episode, when he calls Carter "pal" and gives her what amounts to a bro-hug.

%%* Raven and Beast Boy from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' are supposed to come off as this. Mainly due to the romantic on-and-off thing they had back in the DC Comics and that it was admitted that BB and Raven were written 'LikeAnOldMarriedCouple', in the show. They do become a couple in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' spin-off.
* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'':
** Kurt and Kitty actually have this sort of friendship in a few different universes, including the main Marvel 616 universe, where they've been best friends and thicker than thieves since the 80's.
** Iceman and Jubilee also count, as they spent almost all of their screen time during season 2 together, always went along together on wacky hijinks, and seemed practically inseparable.
** Scott and Jean, prior to [[RelationshipUpgrade their actual getting together]], had shades of this as well.

* ''Film/SteveJobs'': Joanna is Steve's long-suffering HypercompetentSidekick who puts up with all of his demands, keeps everything running smoothly, and serves as his closest confidant and friend over the course of fifteen years. It's clear that they care deeply for each other in spite of [[SnarkToSnarkCombat their constant sniping]] and Steve's many, many flaws, but there is never a hint of romantic tension between them. When Joanna admits to Steve that she loves him, it's very clear that it's a purely PlatonicDeclarationOfLove. Creator/MichaelFassbender and Creator/KateWinslet would also end up developing a similarly close relationship on set.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': Ezra and Sabine. Building up a strong friendship with her instead. They spend their free time together, rib each other like siblings, and emotionally support each other through anything, and it's implied that Ezra is the person Sabine is closest to in the crew (it helps that he's her only consistent friend close to her own age and the only one who hasn't exacerbated her trust issues). By the end, he trusts her with his lightsaber and the task of watching over his home planet, and she ends the series [[spoiler: setting off to find him after his HeroicSacrifice.]]
