History HappilyMarried / ComicBooks

* ''Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}}''
** Peter Parker and Mary Jane until the OneMoreDay comic. They're also married in the newspaper strips, and have now gone past the twenty-five year mark. This is parodied in ''Ultimate Spider-man'', in which Mary Jane and Peter are so close that Liz Allen starts to refer to Mary Jane as "[[MythologyGag Mary Jane Watson-Parker]]" because "You two are totally married!" Peter even tells MJ at one point that when they become old enough he would marry her.

** ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and ComicBook/JeanGrey until Jean's death in ''ComicBook/NewXMen''.

%%* Scott Summers and Jean Grey --

** Hulking and Wiccan are well on their way to filling this trope. They're already the longest-lasting couple on the team.
** Same goes for Karolina and Xavin over at ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'' [[spoiler: as of recently Xavin was PutOnABus]]. The six couple that make up the Pride also count - while they're all murdering, thieving supervillains, their marriages and family lives are quite healthy (except for the way [[AbusiveParents the Steins]] treat Chase).

* In [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-3490 one alternate universe]], ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and a female version of ComicBook/IronMan. [[HoYay Seriously.]] Their happy relationship is the main reason that that alternate Earth is a utopia. No, ''seriously''.

* The poor doomed Waynes, parents of ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}'' and the beloved and equally-doomed Flying Graysons.
** ''Flashpoint'' arc shows a ''severely'' disfunctional relationship because in this timeline ''Bruce'' was killed in Crime Alley. Thomas became a GrimDark version of Batman and Martha dealt with it in ... a different way, becoming that timeline's [[spoiler: Joker]]. Even with this nail it's clear they still have strong feelings for each other.

** Likewise in Spider-Man, Uncle Ben and Aunt May had a long, happy marriage.

* ''The Hulk'' was this at the end of the PlanetHulk storyline with his new queen, Caiera.

* Earth 2 has both Batman/Catwoman and Superman/Lois Lane (Batman and Catwoman had a daughter together, even!)

* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': Reed Richards and Sue Storm-Richards tied the knot in ''Fantastic Four Annual'' #3, back in 1965, and they've been together ever since despute bumbs. Namor (among others) has had an on-again-off-again StalkerWithACrush thing on Sue for a long time, and it hasn't always been ''completely'' one-sided.

* Earth2 has both Batman/Catwoman and Superman/Lois Lane (Batman and Catwoman had a daughter together, even!)

* In ''TheAuthority'', Apollo and Midnighter. Interesting in that they're both gay superheroes who are happily married.

* In [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-3490 one alternate universe]], CaptainAmerica and a female version of IronMan. [[HoYay Seriously.]] Their happy relationship is the main reason that that alternate Earth is a utopia. No, ''seriously''.

* The poor doomed Waynes, parents of ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}'' and the beloved and equally-doomed Flying Graysons.
** Though they have a ''severely'' disfunctional relationship in the ''Flashpoint'' arc, the timeline where ''Bruce'' was killed in Crime Alley. Thomas became a GrimDark version of Batman. Martha dealt with it in ... a different way, becoming that timeline's [[spoiler: Joker]]. It's quite clear they still have strong feelings for each other, though.

** Also, Superman's parents, both on Earth and on Krypton.

* The [[{{Hawkman}} Hawkmen]] and their partners (both at work and at play, as it were) ''used'' to have a similar happy relationship. Pre-Crisis, Carter and Shiera Hall of Earth-2 were married for about the same length of time as the Garricks, and used to go off on archaeological expeditions together in between JSA meetings. Likewise on Earth-1, Katar and Shayera Hol were married right from their creation. Post-Crisis (and post-John Ostrander and ''Hawkworld''), Hawk continuity is [[ContinuitySnarl just a mess]], but Carter and the new Hawkgirl still get together fairly often.
** In fact [[spoiler: the very first Hawkman and Hawkgirl's corpses are the central power battery of the Star Sapphire Corps (who are fueled by the PowerOfLove)]]

* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': Reed Richards and Sue Storm-Richards tied the knot in ''Fantastic Four Annual'' #3, back in 1965, and they've been together ever since.
** Though not without some bumps. Namor (among others) has had an on-again-off-again StalkerWithACrush thing on Sue for a long time, and it hasn't always been ''completely'' one-sided.

** ''The Hulk'' was this at the end of the PlanetHulk storyline with his new queen, Caiera. [[SandinmyEyes It was a beautiful scene]].

* This is such a major point in the ''Comicbook/AnimalMan'' comics that it affects his costuming. He adds a [[CivvieSpandex denim jacket]] over his regular skintight costume so he can carry around his keys and notes from his wife.
** Animal Man probably being the only superhero with "bring home milk" on his crimefighting agenda.

* Hulking and Wiccan from the YoungAvengers are well on their way to filling this trope. They're already the longest-lasting couple on the team.

* The ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} had at least ten happily married couples across their respective continuities. Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel/Duplicate Damsel, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, Karate Kid and Princess Projectra, Colossal Boy and Chameleon Girl, Colossal Boy's parents, Ultra Boy and Apparition, Mon-El and Shadow Lass, Laurel Gand and Rond Vidar, Matter-Eater Lad and Saturn Queen, and Cosmic Boy and Night Girl.
** In regards to Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, they were long-standing sweethearts since the Silver Age and the second couple to be married. When Saturn Girl became pregnant with twin boys, she was the one who decided to go back on active duty while Lightning Lad chose to stay at home to look after the boys as a HouseHusband. Their status as happily married was briefly undone during the tenure of GeoffJohns as writer for what was considered the original Legion, with Saturn Girl trying to keep her husband under control while he kept snapping at her for never taking his side. When Paul Levitz came back as Legion writer, Garth's anger was toned down and the Ranzzs have gone back to being a supportive couple, this time with both of them retiring from active duty to raise their boys on Garth's home planet Winath.

* [[FourthWorld Scott Free and Big Barda]].

* Peter Parker and Mary Jane in ''Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}}'' -- [[JoeQuesada oh]], [[OneMoreDay right.]]
** They are still married in ''{{Spider-Girl}}''. Its number one fan? Joe Quesada, since Mary Jane is a mother in that continuity (but making her one in the main is somehow out of the question).
** They're also married in the newspaper strips, and have now gone past the twenty-five year mark
** Parodied in ''Ultimate Spider-man'', in which Mary Jane and Peter are so close that Liz Allen starts to refer to Mary Jane as "[[MythologyGag Mary Jane Watson-Parker]]" because "You two are totally married!" Peter even tells MJ at one point that when they become old enough he would marry her. Unfortunately, this universe's Peter Parker is now dead, having [[DiedInYourArmsTonight died in Mj's arms]] after succumbing to wounds he received whilst fighting the Sinister Six and killing the Green Goblin (as well as TakingTheBullet for Captain America prior to that). And unlike how ComicBookDeath is typically handled, it's highly likely that this Peter's death with be [[KilledOffForReal permanent]].
** Scott Summers and Jean Grey -- oh, same problem, even if it was a few years before the above, and not quite as blatant. [[ComicBook/XMenForever On the other hand...]]
** Likewise in Spider-Man, Uncle Ben and Aunt May had a long, happy marriage. Until poor Ben's death, of course.

** [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed Richards and Sue Storm-Richards]] [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes more than others.]] Tied the knot in ''Fantastic Four Annual'' #3, back in 1965, and they've been together ever since.
** Mystique and Destiny, Rogue's adoptive parents, had an amazingly long loving relationship that began when the two women met in the 1890s and only ended when Destiny gave her life so that Mystique could live. Although it is known that through some unexplained circumstances they were separated for unspecified times, there was never seen a cross word between them. Pretty good showing, especially considering they're both villains.
** Of all people, the Hulk was this at the end of the PlanetHulk storyline with his new queen, Caiera. [[SandinmyEyes It was a pretty beautiful scene]]. But then, something happened.

%%* Currently dead, but it's comics, so [[SortingAlgorithmOfDeadness let's see how long that sticks]]:

%%* [[{{Superman}} Clark Kent and Lois Lane]]. Lampshaded on occasion.
%%** Also [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] out of existence by the [[{{New52}} 2011 reboot]].

%%** Gertrude and Chase were practically this as well. [[spoiler:And then Gert died, though recent events hint that it might be reversed.]]

** Don't know if they're officially married or not, but Lightning Lass and Shrinking Violet are, in some continuities, a happy couple.

* ''Comicbook/{{Superman}}'' and ''Comicbook/{{Lois Lane}}'' from 1995 to 2011. The only thing strong enough to break this marriage was a universe
-wide reboot.

* ''Comicbook/{{Superman}}'' and ''Comicbook/{{Lois Lane}}'' from 1995 to 2011. The only thing strong enough to break this marriage was a univers-wide reboot.

%%* The poor doomed Waynes, parents of ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}'' and the beloved and equally-doomed Flying Graysons.

* The LegionOfSuperHeroes had at least ten happily married couples across their respective continuities. Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel/Duplicate Damsel, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, Karate Kid and Princess Projectra, Colossal Boy and Chameleon Girl, Colossal Boy's parents, Ultra Boy and Apparition, Mon-El and Shadow Lass, Laurel Gand and Rond Vidar, Matter-Eater Lad and Saturn Queen, and Cosmic Boy and Night Girl.

** Scott Summers and Jean Grey -- oh, same problem, even if it was a few years before the above, and not quite as blatant. [[XMenForever On the other hand...]]

* ''ArchieComics'' has this as the norm: Archie's parents, Betty's parents, Jughead's parents... even Veronica's parents, despite being [[strike:m]]billionaires, aren't using that money as an excuse to become a stereotypically disconnected rich couple. (Though their daughter is well on her way...)
** And, yeah, Reggie may be a jerk, but he can't blame it on a dysfunctional family either. Can anyone name ''any'' parents in Riverdale who aren't Happily Married?
*** Yes, Midge's. A Joe Edwards story from the 1980s had Midge crying because her parents were on the verge of divorce. Though she said on the last page they would stay together "with counseling".
*** An early story had Veronica try to show up Betty but instead be miserable because she didn't have any connection with her parents. Also, Dilton's parents are shown on occasion to be distant academics who don't communicate with each other or Dilton.
**** These are story-by-story cases, though.

* In [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-3490 one alternate universe]], CaptainAmerica and a female version of IronMan. [[HoYay Seriously.]] And their happy relationship is the main reason that that alternate Earth is a utopia. No, ''seriously''.
** Who wants to bet that the fangirly joy was part of the reason {{Wangst}}-and-[[RuleOfDrama Despair]]-happy {{Marvel}} hasn't consumnated their 616 HoYay?

* The poor doomed Waynes, parents of ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}'' and the beloved and equally-doomed Flying Graysons.

** [[LukeCageHeroForHire Luke Cage]] and JessicaJones.

* ''Comicbook/{{Superman}}'''s parents Ma and Pa Kent, in the continuities where they're both alive.
* Currently dead, but it's comics, so [[SortingAlgorithmOfDeadness let's see how long that sticks]]:
** [[ElongatedMan Ralph and Sue Dibny.]] ([[spoiler:They came back as ghosts but were most recently seen zombified... and happily married.]])
** [[NewGods Scott Free and Big Barda.]]

* [[{{Superman}} Clark Kent and Lois Lane]]. Lampshaded on occasion.
** Also [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] out of existence by the [[{{New52}} 2011 reboot]].
* Casey Jones and April O'Neil in ''Comicbook/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Mirage}}''. Eventually.

* An odd gay example played absolutely straight. In the gay-themed, [[FurryFandom Furry]], and miraculously not pornographic Comic Book ''Circles'', Paulie and Doug are happily, if unofficially, married, and Paulie routinely refers to Doug as his husband.

** Gertrude and Chase were practically this as well. [[spoiler:And then Gert died, though recent events hint that it might be reversed.]]

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog'': Bunnie and Antoine, and in the "Mobius X Years Later" universe, Sonic and Sally.
* ''ComicBook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}}'' actually has had quite a few of these- the first was Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel. Others that followed included Saturn Girl/Lightning Lad, Karate Kid/Princess Projectra and Ultra Boy/Phantom Girl

* ''TopTen'': Irma Geddon and her husband Ron. Kemlo Caesar and Neural 'Nette. [[spoiler: Captain Jetman and Wulf]] probably count too, even if the court is out on whether or not they're actually married.
* King Jeryk and Queen Helena in ''TheCourageousPrincess''
* ''RichieRich'''s parents.
