* Many Steve/Tony fics depict Bruce as an emotionally abusive coward who's only with Tony because Tony protects him; while many Bruce/Tony fics depict Steve as a self-righteous, bigoted asshole who treats Tony like shit or slut-shames him. And then there's the Loki/Tony ones where Pepper/Steve/Bruce/whoever is bashed so that Tony can run into Loki's arms, or Thor (who is depicted as being in a relationship with Loki, although the two are brothers) being bashed so that Loki can run into the arms of Tony. And then there's the inclusion of Tony's pre-Avengers best friend Rhodey, and how he's often villainized to keep Tony with the Avengers.

* Usually averted with Pepper - she's a popular enough character that fanfic writers will usually just [[ShipMates pair her up with whatever guy]] Tony isn't banging or [[SlashFic Natasha]], which also quite conveniently keeps Natasha out of the way of [[FanPreferredCouple Hawkeye/Coulson]] (in which fics she is almost invariably PlatonicLifePartners or BetterAsFriends with Clint).
* Speaking of the MCU, lots of fangirls tend to do this with Theoric, who in the comics was engaged to Loki's wife Sigyn before Loki pulled a UriahGambit on him. If Theoric shows up in an MCU fanfic, he's almost always an abusive asshole who deserves to get Uriahed, despite the original comic story actually had some of Sigyn's friends complaining he was too noble. This is especially hilarious because the fangirls could always just, you know, not bring him into an MCU story since he's a comics-only character with no basis in mythology.

Most Steve/Peggy antis prefer to demonize Steve or Peggy directly and didn't even know about the Daisy/Sousa thing. Possibly considering a Sousa entry as I've had to clean up a lot of lengthy and particularly deranged ship rants bashing him in the past, but those editors seemed to be a little fringe even by this page's standards.

* Sharon Carter/Agent 13 gets a lot of hate from all sides despite being a prominent figure in the comics, and Captain America's main love interest. Known for being Captain America's SecondLove, she's not only hated for getting between the HoYay Steve/Bucky and Steve/Tony shipping, but also gets flack from the ardent Steve/Peggy shippers. It didn't help that the ''Captain America'' films gave her very little screentime or relationship build-up with Steve, causing even non-shippers to feel that she was woefully underdeveloped as a DesignatedLoveInterest.

* Regarding ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Daisy also gets this occasionally from Peggy/Sousa shippers and Steve/Peggy antis thanks to her romance arc with FishOutOfTemporalWater Sousa near the end of the final season. Some saw it as an egregious case of PairTheSpares, alleging that Daisy and Sousa had no chemistry with each other and nothing in common besides their mutual lack of a love interest. Others thought the plotline that brought Sousa into the present was a major AssPull and expressed their dissatisfaction with it by hating on one half of the pairing. Not helping matters was the fact that Daisy had always been a BaseBreakingCharacter; while this was most prominent in the early seasons prior to her CharacterDevelopment and the show GrowingTheBeard, she had a small contingent of detractors right up until the series’ cancellation, and they were more than willing to use the Daisy/Sousa ship as yet another reason to rail against her.
