Sometimes, the supporting cast in a superhero's duel life is just as memorable as the villains they fight. This includes friends, family members, authority figures, advisors and rivals.

The best example of this is Spider Man. There have been so many over the decades but highlights include Aunt May, J Jonah Jameson, Mary Jay Watson, Flash Thompson, Gwyn Stacy and Harry Osborne

Who are your favorites? You can even include specific runs by writers.

One of the things I enjoyed about Geoff Johns' initial run on Superman was his tweak to and utilization of Clark's supporting cast, which was based at least a bit on the way the Daily Planet crew was portrayed in All-Star Superman. It felt like a good foundation.
