** Different adaptations of the Franchise/{{Superman}} mythos (i.e. the 90s' ''Series/LoisAndClark'' TV series) will throw in Comicbook/LexLuthor as a competitor for ComicBook/LoisLane' affections. Results may vary.
** Superman's ex-girlfriend ComicBook/LanaLang is also in competition with Lois for his affections. In some versions of the story, Lana is just as unaware as Lois that Clark is Superman. In other versions, Lana has known since high school, and it was the initial reason they broke up—resulting in her rocky marriage to Clark's friend Pete Ross, making this a LoveDodecahedron. Superman himself long carried a torch for his college girlfriend Lori Lemaris, and was bitterly disappointed when she rejected him for Ronal, whom she married (Lori and Ronal are both merpeople, incidentally). Superman and Lori are now "JustFriends.".
* The main [[TwoGuysAndAGirl trio]] of the Justice League, Superman, ComicBook/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/WonderWoman actually sometimes have of love triangle sorts.

Retcons have made Star Sapphire not so much evil ''per se'', just ... [[BlueAndOrangeMorality persistent and perhaps a bit delusional]].
* There are so many of these in ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', fans don't even know [[LoveDodecahedron where to start]].
* ''ComicBook/LegendsOfTheDeadEarth'': In ''[[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superman: The Man of Steel]]'' Annual #5, Kaleb falls in love with Lang almost as soon as he lays eyes on her. Corin, another resistance fighter, has been in love with Lang for years and takes an instant dislike to Kaleb. It grows even stronger when it becomes apparent that Lang reciprocates Kaleb's feelings.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': For a time in the Silver Age Renno the Merman, who had taken Diana on a few dates when they were teenagers before she left Paradise Island, tried to vie for the adult Diana's affection but by this point Diana was in love with ComicBook/SteveTrevor.

* Peter Parker alias Franchise/SpiderMan has one early with Liz Allen and Flash Thompson, with Liz beginning to have feelings for Peter much to Flash's jealously. But seeing them both fight, soon led to Liz giving up on both of them.
* Betty Brant the center of triangle with Peter and Ned Leeds and the most famous with Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane until Gwen's role (after her death) was taken by ComicBook/BlackCat and subsequently [[OfficialCouple Peter married MJ]].

* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} and ComicBook/{{Thanos}} are involved in an exceptionally BlackComedy version of this with the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Death. They're both in love with her, but she remains willfully aloof while switching her affections back and forth from one to the other.
* There's also ''ComicBook/TheAvengers''[='=] Crystal/Black Knight/Sersi love triangle, which threatened to turn into a LoveDodecahedron because of Crystal's husband ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}.
* The younger generation isn't free from this either. ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' has Kate Bishop in a BettyAndVeronica situation with Patriot (Betty) and Speed (Veronica), and Stature is in a tweak of the Superman variation with Iron Lad and the Vision, whose brain is patterned off Iron Lad's memory engrams.

* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': Betty Ross with Bruce Banner and Glenn Talbot, then with Bruce and disposable love interest Ramon. Throw her and Bruce's alternate personalities into the mix and things get even more complicated.

* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel:
** ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': The Cyclops-Jean-Wolverine triangle is here as usual (ending in ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'' with the death of both males), but also Rogue-Iceman-Kitty Pryde (Gambit is TheLostLenore for Rogue in this universe).
** ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': Peter and Mary Jane are the one true couple, but they had some crises. One was when MJ suspected that Peter liked Gwen Stacy (he didn't). At another point, he was dating Kitty Pryde. And in another, she actually dated Gwen.
** ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Initially, Pym and Jan were a couple, but things got ruined hard when he tried to kill her during a case of domestic violence. She started dating Captain America, but his views were incredibly dated, and eventually returned to Pym.
** ''ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour'': Downplayed. Sue rejected Reed's proposal and eventually started dating Ben. Reed, however, never cared a single bit: by the time he had become The Maker and had higher things in mind than romance.

** ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': The Cyclops-Jean-Wolverine triangle is here as usual (ending in ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'' with the death of both males), but also Rogue-Iceman-Kitty Pryde (Gambit is TheLostLenore for Rogue in this universe).
** ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': Peter and Mary Jane are the one true couple, but they had some crises. One was when MJ suspected that Peter liked Gwen Stacy (he didn't). At another point, he was dating Kitty Pryde. And in another, she actually dated Gwen.

** ''ComicBook/UltimateFantasticFour'': Downplayed. Sue rejected Reed's proposal and eventually started dating Ben. Reed, however, never cared a single bit: by the time he had become ComicBook/TheMaker and had higher things in mind than romance.

* The Franchise/MarvelUniverse has some truly legendary love triangles:
** Peter Parker alias Franchise/SpiderMan has one early with Liz Allen and Flash Thompson, with Liz beginning to have feelings for Peter much to Flash's jealously. But seeing them both fight, soon led to Liz giving up on both of them.
** Betty Brant the center of triangle with Peter and Ned Leeds and the most famous with Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane until Gwen's role (after her death) was taken by ComicBook/BlackCat and subsequently [[OfficialCouple Peter married MJ]].
** The archetypal ''ComicBook/XMen'' love triangle had ComicBook/JeanGrey torn between [[TheStoic stoic]] ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} and [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boy]] {{Wolverine}}. And then there's Jean/Scott/[[ComicBook/EmmaFrost Emma]]...even though [[NeverLiveItDown "Jean's dead again"]], that doesn't stop the writers.
** The ''Comicbook/FantasticFour''[='=]s Invisible Woman is devoted to her husband Mr. Fantastic but drawn to the passionate ComicBook/SubMariner.
** ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} and ComicBook/{{Thanos}} are involved in an exceptionally BlackComedy version of this with the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Death. They're both in love with her, but she remains willfully aloof while switching her affections back and forth from one to the other.
** There's also ''Comicbook/TheAvengers''[='=] Crystal/Black Knight/Sersi love triangle, which threatened to turn into a LoveDodecahedron because of Crystal's husband ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}.
** The younger generation isn't free from this either. ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' has Kate Bishop in a BettyAndVeronica situation with Patriot (Betty) and Speed (Veronica), and Stature is in a tweak of the Superman variation with Iron Lad and the Vision, whose brain is patterned off Iron Lad's memory engrams. The only stable couple? Wiccan and Hulkling, the resident YaoiGuys.
** ComicBook/BettyRoss with [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] and Glenn Talbot, then with Bruce and disposable love interest Ramon. Throw her and Bruce's alternate personalities into the mix and things get even more complicated.
** There is also Comicbook/{{Gambit}}[=/=]ComicBook/{{Rogue}}[=/=]ComicBook/{{Magneto}} for the X-Men as well. Luckily Rogue went back to Gambit after Savage Land.
* ''Franchise/{{DCU}}'':

Superman and Lori are now "JustFriends.".
** The main [[TwoGuysAndAGirl trio]] of the Justice League, Superman, ComicBook/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/WonderWoman actually sometimes have of love triangle sorts. Diana has been with both men on more than one occasion but Bruce and Clark would [[http://i1063.photobucket.com/albums/t514/abroken11b/superheroes-batman-superman-batman-theres-always-time-for-nooky-1.jpg never]] actually [[CockFight fight]] over her. There's also some unsaid sexual [[HoYay tension]] between Supes and Batman themselves.
** Happens in the same fashion to [[Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]]. At about the same time that Hal received his ring, Carol Ferris broke up with him in order to focus on running her father's business. That didn't stop her from chasing after Green Lantern whenever she got the opportunity. Carol/Hal/GL also threw Carol's alter ego [[StalkerWithACrush Star Sapphire]] into the mix for extra bonus fun. Retcons have made Star Sapphire not so much evil ''per se'', just ... [[BlueAndOrangeMorality persistent and perhaps a bit delusional]].
** There are [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters so many of these]] in ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', fans don't even know [[LoveDodecahedron where to start]].
** ''ComicBook/LegendsOfTheDeadEarth'': In ''[[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Superman: The Man of Steel]]'' Annual #5, Kaleb falls in love with Lang almost as soon as he lays eyes on her. Corin, another resistance fighter, has been in love with Lang for years and takes an instant dislike to Kaleb. It grows even stronger when it becomes apparent that Lang reciprocates Kaleb's feelings.
* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics''' has a [[BettyAndVeronica Love Triangle subtrope]] all to itself.
* ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' tends to have a third wheel enter into Sonic and Sally's WillTheyOrWontThey - first with Geoffery St. John, then with Monkey Khan.
* ''ComicBook/{{Circles}}'' sometimes hints at one among Marty, Taye and Ken, but never acted on it. Also, Paulie, John and Arthur were an actual OneTrueThreesome during the 1970s, and Paulie and Arthur are still best friends.
* ''ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse'': Does Clarabelle Cow go out with Goofy or Horace Horsecollar? Some of the comics involving them play with this trope.
* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' has a few, complicated by Recognition. This is a "mating urge" bringing together a pair that are a good genetic match to produce gifted children, and traditionally a Recognized couple will become lifemates.
** Leetah's choice between Rayek and Cutter.
** Dewshine, [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Scouter]], and Tyldak (when Dewshine and Tyldak recognised, but couldn't stand each other)
** Dewshine, Scouter, and Tyleet, when Scouter and Tyleet recognized, [[spoiler: ending in a stable threesome]]
** Ember's choice between Mender and Teir.
* ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}''/Thugboy/Ninjette. Type 4, or a type 6 if you have your yuri goggles on.
* Subverted in the erotic furry comic, ''ComicBook/OmahaTheCatDancer''. In this series, Omaha runs away from her lover, Charles Tabey Jr., in utter desolation after he blew up on her for a dark secret she had to confess (She was already married, had broken up with her husband long ago, but never actually divorced yet) and goes to a small town where she starts a passionate relationship with another man. However, Omaha learns that Charles was hospitalized with a nervous breakdown because her leaving him and she decides to return to him. Before she does that, she explains the full situation with her new boyfriend and he is understanding enough to encourage her to go back. After all differences are patched up, Charles makes a point of inviting that man to their New Year Eve's party to show his appreciation for helping Omaha at that tough time he himself put her through. As it happens, the pair get along so well they agree to take Omaha to bed a threesome and a fun time is had by all.
* In ''ComicBook/PocketGod'', [[TheDitz Nooby]] has a crush on [[ActionGirl Sun]], but get jealous when she starts hanging out with [[TheLeader Ooga]]. [[spoiler:Nooby gets over it by issue 21, when he realizes they still care for him]].
* ''ComicBook/SinCity'' is normally not the sort of place you might expect a love triangle, but we have at least two:
** Dwight bounces back and forth between Gail, the badass prostitute and Shellie, the sweet waitress.
** Then we have an AllLoveIsUnrequited situation. Marv loves Nancy, who loves Hartigan, who only loves her in a platonic manner. It's a rare example in that Marv and Hartigan never knew each other.
* In ''ComicBook/SpyBoy'', Alex has a liking to both Bombshell and Spy Girl.
* German artist Creator/WalterMoers once wrote such a story, involving a (male) fir tree, a (female) triangle (as in the instrument; forms a pair with the tree) and a [[SugarWiki/{{Toblerone}} toblerone bar]] (male, bisexual) who cheats with the triangle. While they're in a tent. (Triangle / triangular story, get it?) As the author LampShades: Doesn't that sound pretty constructed?
* There are multiple triangles in play in ''ComicBook/{{Revival}}'': one cheating husband, one cheating wife, one [[AllLoveIsUnrequited chain of affections]], one [[SettleForSibling settling for sibling]]...
* ''ComicBook/StarTrekEarlyVoyages'': In "Thanatos", José Tyler is extremely jealous when he sees the ''Enterprise'''s new assistant chief engineer Shane Samson flirting with Mia Colt, with whom he is madly in love, in the mess hall. The two men almost come to blows but they are interrupted by a red alert.
* ''ComicBook/BlueIsTheWarmestColor'': Sabine-Emma-Clémentine. Eventually it resolves into just Emma and Clémentine.
