** Before that, Deadpool had this relationship with ComicBook/{{Bullseye|MarvelComics}}. They took it to the extreme though, where they would try to kill each other and then laugh about it together. When it's all said and done, Bullseye has admitted that Deadpool is the only person he likes.

* ''ComicBook/TheDefenders'': They are in every way a "non-team" of "non-friends," and the standard Defenders' parting words are "Let's never do this again," but if one of them comes to the group for help, s/he'll get it.
* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'':
** Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm spend most of their time either sniping and snarking at each other, planning increasingly elaborate practical jokes on each other, or lambasting each other with creatively brutal threats about what they'll do to the other (which are hardly ever followed through) after said practical jokes. They are, of course, practically inseparable.

** ComicBook/DoctorDoom and Namor the ComicBook/SubMariner. They're both pompous blowhard monarchs who can tolerate very few other people on the planet, and they fight half of the time in the comic series Supervillain Team-Up, but they respect each other as monarchs, and powerful individuals who make hard decisions whereas most people both of them deal with don't rule nations.

They butt heads, and fight each other over being two different flavors of an effective hero. Still, Wolverine trusts Spider-Man as one of the few heroes he would never turn his back on; the others are Captain America and Charles Xavier.
** The Torch also has a similar relationship with Spider-Man. Spidey and the Torch's team-ups usually consist of them trying to one-up each other, with the expected volley of insults and snark. But at the end of the day, Spider-Man is probably Johnny's closest superhero friend outside of the FF.

In other comics, Hulk even lets Spider-Man take a [[ShoulderTeammate ride on his shoulders]].
** But all this pales in comparison to Spider-Man's unsolicited and unwanted "friendship" with ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}. Deadpool just ''loooooooves'' pressing Spidey's buttons, but will never hesitate to help clean up the messes he starts in Peter's life, and seems genuinely fond of the wall-crawler, sometimes even going out of his way just to hang out with him.

** Can't forget ComicBook/TheHulk and Spidey. Their team-ups always start off as hostile, Hulk often finds Spider-Man very annoying, and Spidey obliviously doesn't approve of Hulk smashing up New York. But after many encounters, they warm to each and Hulk starts saying "[[AffectionateNickname Bug-Man]] is Hulk's Friend", in ComicBook/SecretWars and other comics Hulk lets Spider-Man take [[ShoulderTeammate ride on his shoulders]].
** But all this pales in comparison to Spider-Man's unsolicited and unwanted "friendship" with Comicbook/{{Deadpool}}. Deadpool just ''loooooooves'' pressing Spidey's buttons, but will never hesitate to help clean up the messes he starts in Peter's life, and seems genuinely fond of the wall-crawler, sometimes even going out of his way just to hang out with him. Spidey, while often forced to admit that Deadpool does have his moments, more often wishes he would just go away.
