** In ''Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'', Superman wonders whether he can have a relationship with a human woman despite of being an alien outcast.
** Superman also had a relationship with Franchise/WonderWoman in the ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' mini-series and in the ''ComicBook/{{New52}}''.
** DC once printed an {{Elseworld}} story (back when they're still called "Imaginary Stories") where Lois Lane had been killed after {{Franchise/Superman}} settled down and had a daughter with her. At one point, he created a robot duplicate of her, which proved to be all too lifelike. Apparently, UncannyValley doesn't faze some people.

* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' briefly was married to an alien woman name Orksa who resembled a anthropomorphic yellow hippopotamus. They divorced on good terms so she could be with someone who loved her more than he did. Both her previous husband and her next one also appeared to be different species than her. He later got married to a [[HornyDevils Succubus]] named Shiklah, who though can appear mostly human, is actually a huge purple demon. Deadpool met her when Dracula hired Deadpool to bring her to him for their arranged marriage.

In his 2014 series he has been shown to have a brief relationship with Princess Lynx (alien, cat-girl). In the 2014 ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy annual, Rocket is shown to have 3 sons (which he insists are nephews) whose mother is clearly some sort of blue skinned alien.

** Considering they're a crack pairing from the start, there's really not much else to discuss. Except maybe what poking a brain with THAT feels like.

** Bufkin and Lily Martagon are a unique example. He's a flying monkey and she's a tiny fairy-like Barleycorn Girl. She considered herself his girlfriend, but he didn't reciprocate any romantic feelings due to the species and size barriers. However, [[spoiler: in the epilogue of their story, it's revealed that on several occasions throughout their many adventures in Oz, one or both of them were magically transformed into compatible species. During these times, they got married and had many children. At the end of their lives, they were still living together and in a very loving relationship despite being in their original forms]].

* RomSpaceKnight 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.

* Toyed with in FrankMiller's ''TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain'', where Hal Jordan [[spoiler: whose control over his powers now renders him virtually omnipotent]], has left Earth and is now living [[spoiler: on Mars]], where he lives a happy, wholesome family life with his wife and son. Unlike most examples of this trope, the [[spoiler: Martians]] are not rendered physically attractive or appealing in any way; Hal Jordan instead uses his power [[spoiler: to make himself a Martian, completely capable of maintaining the form indefinitely, as well as capable of breeding with other Martians]], and is extremely reluctant to return to Earth [[spoiler: after receiving Batman's transmission]], until his wife urges him to help his own people. He only reverts back to his human form after he has already left [[spoiler: Mars]], and is quick to return as soon as his business on Earth has been finished [[spoiler: which involved him multiplying his size to that of many times the Earth, able to grasp the entire planet in his fist, crushing Lex Luthor's planet wide multi-trillion dollar WMD satellite network while leaving the planet itself unharmed.]]

* RocketRaccoon ([[SpeciesSurname take a wild guess]] [[CaptainObvious what he is]]) and quite a wide variety of alien species. In his original mini-series, his girlfriend was Lylla (anthropomorphic otter). In his 2014 series he has been shown to have a brief relationship with Princess Lynx (alien, cat-girl). In the 2014 ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy annual, Rocket is shown to have 3 sons (which he insists are nephews) whose mother is clearly some sort of blue skinned alien.

* ''ComicBook/Deadpool'' briefly was married to an alien woman name Orksa who resembled a anthropomorphic yellow hippopotamus. They divorced on good terms so she could be with someone who loved her more than he did. Both her previous husband and her next one also appeared to be different species than her. He later got married to a [[HornyDevils Succubus]] named Shiklah, who though can appear mostly human, is actually a huge purple demon. Deadpool met her when Dracula hired Deadpool to bring her to him for their arranged marriage.
