History InterspeciesRomance / ComicBooks

** The ''Rogue Squadron'' series had a romance between a Calamari and a Quarren: [[CapuletCounterpart Romeo And Juliet]] [-[[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE!]]-], in short. And in one arc it was implied that Janson and Hobbie slept with a pair of Bothans.

* [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]] and his former wife [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Lyja]]. (Johnny had thought that she was human when he married her - she's a [[{{Shapeshifter}} Skrull.)

* [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]] and his former wife [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Lyja]]. (Johnny had thought that she was human when he married her - she's a [[{{Shapeshiftern}} Skrull.)

* [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]] and his former wife [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Lyja]].

** The concept is actually lampshaded in-universe when Shimy asks her mother, Captain Shamira, how she'd react if she was gonna marry a human. Shamira expresses discomfort with the idea, merely answering her daughter to shut up. [[spoiler:Ironically, Shamira later develops herself a relationship with human king Halan.]]

* Comicbook/{{Nova}} (human) and GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe (literally) Gamora, in ''Annihilation''.

* ScarletWitch (mutant) was married to the android Vision for many years. Her brother {{Quicksilver}} married {{the Inhuman|s}} princess Crystal.

* The eventual romance and implied sexual relationship between Jimmy Olsen (human, with some plot-related variations) and the Forager ([[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe really hot female purple-skinned alien bounty hunter humanoid INSECT]]) in ''CountdownToFinalCrisis''.

* The ''[[PhilFoglio XXXenophile]]'' comics (porn with fantasy and science fiction themes) are naturally full of examples of this. Just in case [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title didn't give it away]].
** According to ''[=XXXenophile=]'', [[ExoticEquipment even the weirdest aliens out there seem to be physically compatible with humans]].

* ''CherryComics'': Aliens, bigfoots, dolphins... If it can have sex with a human, [[AnythingThatMoves Cherry will sleep with it]].

* All over the freaking place in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog''. And a future arc, "Mobius: 25 Years Later", suggests [[NoBiochemicalBarriers they'll have children]].

* ''{{Bone}}'' has Fone Bone and Thorn; while it's more played as Fone Bone being in love with Thorn, [[WillTheyOrWontThey Thorn never says anything about not being in love with him back]], and [[spoiler: had Fone Bone not decided to go back to Boneville at the end, it is stated that he and Thorn would have ruled the valley as king and queen.]]
* [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Nightwing and Starfire]] (human/alien) in at least one continuity of the DCComics universe.

** There are other Titan couples as well, such as Superboy (human/alien hybrid) and Wonder Girl ([[strike:human]] demigod).

* The Marvel comic book ''Comicbook/HowardTheDuck'' had Howard (intelligent talking duck from an alternate reality) and Beverly (human). This was played ''way'' too straight in TheMovie.
* The Kree superhero {{Captain Mar-Vell}} loved many a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe, which is why all three of his children were hybrids - Genis and Phyla (Kree/Eternal) and [[YoungAvengers Hulkling]] (Kree/Skrull). Hulkling is in a relationship with fellow superhero Wiccan, which is not only interspecies but also homosexual. Of course, his half-sister Phyla and her human girlfriend Moondragon have LesYay. [[BringOutYourGayDead Or rather had.]]
* Karolina (Majesdanian) and Xavin (Skrull) in ''{{Runaways}}''.

* For a long time, the {{X-Men}} had {{Dazzler}} (human mutant) and her husband, Longshot (interdimensional alien). Since their divorce, Longshot seems to have jumped on the BoldlyComing bandwagon of interdimensional relations.

* Scarlet Witch (mutant) was married to the android Vision for many years. Her brother Quicksilver married the Inhuman princess Crystal.

** The ''Evolution'' animated series also has Nightcrawler/Amanda (a human).

* The ''{{XXXenophile}}'' comics (porn with fantasy and science fiction themes) are naturally full of examples of this. Just in case [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the title didn't give it away]].
** According to [=XXXenophile=], [[ExoticEquipment even the weirdest aliens out there seem to be physically compatible with humans]].
* [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} Lois and Clark]] are probably the most famous example of interpecies romance (even though he's a HumanAlien).

*** The series {{Smallville}} addressed the essence of Niven's concerns by noting that the "training" that Jor-El had arranged for his son included "control" in that specific aspect. Apparently Clark's parents were ''expecting'' him to get involved in an InterspeciesRomance and prepared him for handling the tricky aspect of intimacy.
* Also from DC, [[GreenLantern John Stewart]] married Katma Tui (alien) and had a long-standing relationship with Merayn Dethalis (also alien). The ''JusticeLeague'' cartoon paired him up with Hawkgirl and featured Katma as an old flame who he was still on good terms with.
* The GreenLantern Corps seems rife with this. Hal Jordan and Arisia, Kyle Rayner and Soranik Natu, and when you bear in mind that nearly every member of the Corps is a different species, when relationships between members of the Corps were banned over 200 resigned in protest.
* Mossy earth elemental Comicbook/SwampThing and his human wife Abigail Arcane. Played with considering the nearby town finds out and convicts her of bestiality. Abby flees to Gotham City where the police hold her, causing Swamp Thing to go ballistic to free her. Batman finally talks the Mayor into giving in considering that if he wants to hold Abby for having a relationship with an non-human sapient being, then he'd better arrest Lois Lane, among others, for her relationship with an admitted extraterrestrial, Superman. Since busting the world's greatest superhero's girlfriend for bestiality would look very, very bad and ridiculous in the media, the Mayor instantly gives in.

* ''{{ElfQuest}}'': I'm gonna have to spoiler this whole thing because it involves a major plot revelation. [[spoiler:In ancient times Timmain (super-advanced humanoid alien in elf form) shapeshifts into a wolf and mates with the alpha male of a wild pack. result: Timmorn Yellow-Eyes, half-elf, half-wolf and father of the Wolfrider tribe. Many generations later the pure-blooded elf Winnowill views the Wolfriders' origins with disdain, asking the pertinent question: "Do they renew their kinship even now?"]]

** Not to be left behind, the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage original incarnation of the TMNT]] has featured two different interspecies romances fairly recently. The first occured between Michelangelo and "Seri" (reptilian alien), while the second will occur between Leonardo and human superheroine Radical several years into the series' future.
* The comicbook series ''{{Firebreather}}'' stars the son of a human woman and a CaptainErsatz version of Godzilla who fell in love during one of his rampages.

** [[{{Nextwave}} FIN FANG FOOM! Has been burning with the desire to mate since 1956!\\

FIN FANG FOOM! Oh, you cannot]] ''[[{{Nextwave}} imagine]]'' [[{{Nextwave}} how pissed off he is.]]
* The ''StarWars'' EU comics have their fair share of InterspeciesRomance.

** One of the most prominent romances of the ''Clone Wars'' comics was between Jedi Masters Tholme (human) and T'ra Saa (Neti). Neti are extremely long lived, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]] ''[[PlantAliens plants]]''.

*** It's pretty much taken for granted in the StarWars universe that Twi'lek women are desired by males of all species - and yes, it often really ''is'' due to their "naughty" ''lekku'', which can be trained to perform sensual functions. It was used rather disturbingly in A. C. Crispin's novel ''The Hutt Gambit'', where a young Han Solo is [[AbhorrentAdmirer (to his chagrin)]] leered at by an ''elderly'' female Twi'lek.
** Cade Skywalker (Human) and Deliah Blue (Zeltron) from StarWarsLegacy.
** Zayne Carrick (Human) and Zareal (Arkanian off-shoot) from the [[Comicbook/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic KOTOR comics]]

*** Interestingly, there are no nerve endings in the brain for registering pain. that means Mallah could do anything he wanted to with the Brain, and he would never feel it.
* Echiboo (hamster) and Luna-P (pig) in ''AoiHouse''. Pretty much [[GagSeries par for the course,]] actually.

* ''Astonishing {{X-Men}}'': Beast/Brand. Complicated, since he's a human mutant who became more animalistic as he got older and now looks like a giant blue cat, and she looks mostly human and is actually half-alien. Apparently her dad was a huge blue furry thing, which [[DaddysGirl takes it into even more perverted territory]].
* In the DonaldDuck comic "The Old Castle's Secret," the jewel thief Diamond Dick claims that he knew about the hidden [=McDuck=] treasure because his "third wife was a [=McDuck=] on her great grandfather's side." Diamond Dick is a dog. Apparently something... interesting... has been going on in the [=McDuck=] family tree.
** DisneyComics in general occasionally have mixed-species pairs showing up as background characters in a panel or two.

* In addition to Brainiac 5 (mentioned above), {{Supergirl}} (Kryptonian) had a quasi-romantic friendship with [[TheFlash Captain Boomerang]] (human) and an actual romance with Apokolips native Power Boy. And had a crush on [[{{ComicBook/Batman}} Dick Grayson]], but that [[MrFanservice hardly counts]].
* Oh, TankGirl, as if your {{Heroic Sociopath}}y weren't enough, you also have to get involved with Booga. The mutant kangaroo. And then cheat on him with your ''tank''... Yeah, it's that sort of comic.
* The [[RomSpaceKnight Spaceknight Rom]] was in love with the Terran Brandy. On the plus side, Rom is a Galadorian, basically a branch of the human race. On the minus side, he'd been cyborged into an all-covering suit of plandanium armor. On the plus side, it was theoretically possible for him to become a normal man again. Still, whether Rom and Brandy count as an interspecies liaison is a judgement call.
* DC once printed an {{Elseworld}} story (back when they're still called "Imaginary Stories") where Lois Lane had been killed after {{Superman}} settled down and had a daughter with her. At one point, he created a robot duplicate of her, which [[http://www.supermanfan.net/main/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/loisdead-robot.jpg proved to be all too lifelike]]. Apparently, UncannyValley doesn't faze some people.
* And let's not forget [[FantasticFour Johnny Storm]] and his former wife [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Lyja]].

* In the Howard Chaykin comic ''AmericanFlagg!'', one of Raul the (talking) Cat's favorite TV programs was titled "Interspecies Romances."

** the concept is actually lampshaded in-universe when Shimy asks her mother, Captain Shamira, how she'd react if she was gonna marry a human. Shamira express disconfort with the idea, merely answering her daughter to shut up. [[spoiler:Ironically, Shamira later develops herself a relationship with human king Halan.]]

* [[Comicbook/{{Nova}} Nova]] (human) and GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe (literally) Gamora, in ''Annihilation''.

* ''Comicbook/{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}}'': there are a lot of interspecies romances in the Legion; some of the more notable are Brainiac 5(Coluan)/Supergirl (Kryptonian), Colossal Boy (Human)/Yera (Durlan).

* The Archie-published ''{{ComicBook/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures}}'' featured three such relationships. The first two involved mutant turtle Raphael, who became involved with two mutant fox women at different points of his life, and even ended up marrying one of them. On the other hand, there was the relationship between musician Mondo and his girlfriend Candy Fine, which persisted even after Mondo was turned into a mutant gecko.

* ''DoomPatrol'' villains the Brain (a disembodied human brain) and Monsieur Mallah (a genetically altered super intelligent gorilla). For some reason, when comics fans discuss this, they only focus on the fact that they're gay.

* Mossy earth elemental SwampThing and his human wife Abigail Arcane. Played with considering the nearby town finds out and convicts her of bestiality. Abby flees to Gotham City where the police hold her, causing Swamp Thing to go ballistic to free her. Batman finally talks the Mayor into giving in considering that if he wants to hold Abby for having a relationship with an non-human sapient being, then he'd better arrest Lois Lane, among others, for her relationship with an admitted extraterrestrial, Superman. Since busting the world's greatest superhero's girlfriend for bestiality would look very, very bad and ridiculous in the media, the Mayor instantly gives in.

* ''{{Legion Of Super-Heroes}}'': there are a lot of interspecies romances in the Legion; some of the more notable are Brainiac 5(Coluan)/Supergirl (Kryptonian), Colossal Boy (Human)/Yera (Durlan).

* ComicBook/LesLegendaires has [[TheLancer Gryf]], a [[BeastMan Jaguarian]], being part of a LoveTriangle with [[ActionGirl Shimy]], an [[OurElvesAreBetter Elf]] with ElementalPowers, and [[SixthRanger Shun-Day]], an [[OurDemonAreDifferent artificially magically engeneered being created from the arm of a demonical]] EvilSorcerer. It also has [[EvilTwin Dark Jadina]], an evil clone of one of the protagonist, being the DarkMistress of [[BiggerBad Anathos]], a GodOfEvil;

* In addition to Brainiac 5 (mentioned above), {{Supergirl}} (Kryptonian) had a quasi-romantic friendship with [[TheFlash Captain Boomerang]] (human) and an actual romance with Apokolips native Power Boy. And had a crush on [[{{ComicBook/Batman}} Dick Grayson]], but that [[EstrogenBrigadeBait hardly counts.]]

* The North Wind and [[spoiler: Bigby's mother Winter]] from ''{{Fables}}''. [[TheBigBadWolf Bigby]] and Literature/SnowWhite.

** [[{{Nextwave}} "FIN FANG FOOM! Has been burning with the desire to mate since 1956!\\

FIN FANG FOOM! Oh, you cannot]] ''[[{{Nextwave}} imagine]]'' [[{{Nextwave}} how pissed off he is."]]

* The North Wind and [[spoiler: Bigby's mother Winter]] from ''{{Fables}}''. [[TheBigBadWolf Bigby]] and SnowWhite.

** Not to be left behind, the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles original incarnation of the TMNT]] has featured two different interspecies romances fairly recently. The first occured between Michelangelo and "Seri" (reptilian alien), while the second will occur between Leonardo and human superheroine Radical several years into the series' future.

* [[{{ptitley5d4ry61}} 2000AD's]] ''Lobster Random'' ... a mechanophile. That is a (modified) human who is sexually attracted to robots. And not human looking robots either...

*** Interestingly, there are no nerve endings in the brain for registering pain. that means Mallah could [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean do anything he wanted to]] with the Brain, and he would never feel it.

** The LarryNiven essay ''[[http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex]]'' goes into quite a bit of detail on the various issues regarding Kal-El's sex life, possibly [[{{squick}} farther than some would prefer]].

*** It's pretty much taken for granted in the StarWars universe that Twi'lek women are desired by males of all species - and yes, it often really ''is'' due to their "naughty" ''lekku'', which can be trained to perform sensual functions. The only time this fetish resulted in {{Squick}} was in A. C. Crispin's novel ''The Hutt Gambit'', where a young Han Solo is [[AbhorrentAdmirer (to his chagrin)]] leered at by an ''elderly'' Twi'lek female!

* A notable storyline in Comicbook/TheAvengers had Mantis (human) married to a telepathic alien ''tree'' - and since that wasn't [[{{Squick}} squicky]] enough, in order to mate with her, the tree possessed the ''dead body'' of her late boyfriend the Swordsman. Squick accomplished.
** Although it's probably less squicky than [[EvilDead if it mated her in its true form]].

*** Interestingly, there are no nerve endings in the brain for registering pain. that means Mallah could [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean do anything he wanted to]] with the Brain, and he would never feel it. All this troper can say is {{Squick}}
