** General Hux too, curiously enough. As with Rey, he is most frequently paired with Kylo, but there are definitely some following for Rey/Hux, Poe/Hux, Rose/Hux and Phasma/Hux as well.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' features TheHeroine Rey, who has subsequently become the source of many ships. Although she is mostly paired with [[FoeRomanceSubtext Kylo Ren,]] it is also common to see her paired with Finn, [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Poe, Rose,]] [[NoYay Snoke]] (despite, or sometimes ''because'' of the {{Squick}} factor), and more [[CrackPairing obscure]] characters such as Jessika, Kaydel Co Connix, and even Captain Phasma. Not to mention her involvement in popular OT3 ships such as Finn/Rey/Poe and Rey/Kylo/Hux.

*** Brought to the nth power after the release of ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Captain America: The Winter Soldier]]'', for obvious reasons. There, [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]] and [[ComicBook/{{Agent 13}} Sharon Carter]] were brought into the fold, while the amount of people who shipped Steve with [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Natasha]] went up significantly. Then there's ComicBook/{{Bucky|Barnes}}, where the amount of FanFiction and fan art shipping them together ''skyrocketed''. (As of late 2017, Steve/Bucky seems to be the most popular ship in all of MCU fandom, with Steve/Tony not far behind.)

** [[DeadpanSnarker Darcy]], with a healthy side order of ShipsThatPassInTheNight. She's frequently shipped with Loki, Hawkeye, Steve Rogers, Bruce Banner, Bucky Barnes, [[RoboShip ''JARVIS'']], and Coulson, only one of whom she's even ''met''. On the slash side, she and Natasha are getting shipped together increasingly more often. The Archive of Our Own fic site even has a tag labeled 'ship Darcy with all the things' that currently brings up 343 stories. Next to Loki, she might be the biggest bicycle in the fandom. 'Darcy is the fandom bicycle and I love it' is nearing 150 fics as well. Darcy even shows up frequently in CrossoverShip pairings, like Darcy/[[Franchise/DragonAge Anders]].

** Probably a combination of being portrayed by Tom Hiddleston and how [[StartOfDarkness tragic]] [[UsedToBeASweetKid origins]], but Loki has become this since ''Film/{{Thor}}''. A brief trip through Website/FanFictionDotNet will turn up stories shipping him with [[IncestYayShipping Thor]], Tony, Steve, Clint, Natasha, Coulson, The Hulk, Sif, Jane, Darcy, Angrboda, Sigyn, Fandral, Baldur, Tyr, Pepper, Valkyrie, [[UnholyMatrimony Amora, Lorelei]], and even Nick Fury. He's also been shipped with characters he never met like the Ancient One, Ayesha, Carol Danvers, and Scarlet Witch if only because Tom Hiddleston previously starred alongside the actresses playing those MCU characters. He's even shipped by some with his own actor. That's what happens when you say your character needs a hug...

* ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'': As the breakout superheroine of the franchise, Wonder Woman has been shipped with Steve Trevor (her canonical love interest), all of her fellow Justice Leaguers, Lois Lane, Etta Candy, Mera, and Harley Quinn. Outside of the DCEU, she's often been paired with either Steve Rogers or Peggy Carter from ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''.

* ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'': As the breakout superheroine of the franchise, Wonder Woman has been shipped with Steve Trevor (her canonical love interest), all of her fellow Justice League members, Lois Lane, Etta Candy, Mera, Harley Quinn, and many others in the DC universe. Outside of the DCEU, she's been paired with many people from the MCU like Steve Rogers and Thor, though many prefer shipping her with either Captain Marvel, Valkyrie, or Peggy Carter.

Outside of the DCEU, she's been paired with many people from the MCU like Steve Rogers (mostly for patriotic vibes) though many prefer shipping her with either Captain Marvel, Valkyrie, or Peggy Carter.

** On a similar note, [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]], who, due to his relationships with all of them in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', has been shipped with not only with his LoveInterest Pepper Potts, but alo [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Steve Rogers]], [[Film/{{Thor}} Loki]], [[Film/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]]...

* ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' has [[AnythingThatMoves Dr. Frank N. Furter]], who has been paired with [[strike:nearly]] everyone.

* The 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'' gives us [[http://kittyjimjams.deviantart.com/art/Fandom-Bicycle-127313360 Pavel Chekov]], aka Ensign Jailbait. Along with Captain Kirk, naturally, but not to the same degree.

** Following ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', Wanda Maximoff is shaping up to be this with her current ships being [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Clint]], [[OldSchoolChivalry Steve,]] [[RoboShip Vision]] and... [[IncestIsRelative Pietro]], although the last one has [[{{Squick}} very small support]]. Probably because she is such a massive [[TheWoobie Woobie]], even in comparison to [[WorldOfWoobie her fellow Avengers]] that people just want something going right in her life for once.

* ''Franchise/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'': Website/DeviantArt is filled with fanfiction and fanart pairing ComicBook/TheJoker with Scarecrow, Commissioner Gordon, Batman, Ramirez, Harley Quinn and the Riddler (neither of whom appeared in the film series), random Mary Sues, Two-Face, and Rachel Dawes.

* The film version of Film/SherlockHolmes. He's got [[HoYay Watson]], [[DatingCatwoman Irene]] and matches up with [[FoeYay Blackwood]].

** Another one is [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Steve Rogers]], partly because he's played by [[MrFanservice Chris Evans]], and partly because he's either viewed with a lot of "uke" traits (being younger, old-fashioned, and relatively innocent compared to his fellow heroes) or a paragon of manhood who can be strong, protective, and sensitive to other people's imminent emotional breakdowns. His portrayal depends on whoever he's being matched up with (i.e., [[LoveInterest Peggy Carter]], [[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]], [[HeterosexualLifePartners Bucky Barnes]], [[DracoInLeatherPants Loki]], [[MentorShip Howard Stark]], [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee Phil Coulson]], etc).

* Website/DeviantArt is filled with fanfiction and fanart pairing Creator/HeathLedger's Joker with Creator/CillianMurphy's Scarecrow, Creator/GaryOldman's Gordon, Creator/ChristianBale's Batman, Ramirez, as of yet unintroduced Harley and the Riddler, random Mary Sues, Creator/AaronEckhart's Two-Face, Creator/MaggieGyllenhaal ''and'' Creator/KatieHolmes's Rachel, and anything in the Nolanverse that moves. I haven't found a Joker/Alfred one yet, but I wouldn't be shocked. And that's ''nothing'' compared to what they do to poor Scarecrow...

Probably because she is such a massive [[TheWoobie Woobie]] even comparing to her [[spoiler:fellow Avengers]] that people just want something goes right in her life for once.
