There's a bit of bias overall in the article. Tropes Are Tools remember? Not every instance of a superhero being made single or forced to remain single is automatic suck. For example, it was an actual story point for Superman in the Bronze Age (that has been revived in the reboot) that his powers separated him from humanity leaving him sometimes to reflect on his isolation. Marriage to Lois pretty much killed that dramatic angle.
