History LauncherOfAThousandShips / ComicBooks

* The ComicBook/BlackWidow is the female version of this in Marvel comics. Her relationships include ComicBook/IronMan, [[Characters/MarvelComicsClintBarton Hawkeye]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsMattMurdock Daredevil]], [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]], an attempt by the writers to set her up with [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]](?!), and arguably ComicBook/NickFury. Even her late husband (she's a widow, get it?), the Red Guardian, was a superhero. Yes, Natasha goes with everything.

* It's a running gag in Franchise/TheDCU that virtually every female that comes in contact with Characters/{{Nightwing|DickGrayson}} falls in love with him. And that's not even getting into the FoeYayShipping...
** Known exceptions: Dr. Leslie Tompkins (Old enough to be his grandmother) and Batwoman (lesbian)... and that's about it. Every female who's legal and is remotely in his age range appears to be fair game, whether they're canon love interests (Characters/{{Ba|tgirl}}rbara, [[Characters/BatmanHuntress Helena]], [[Characters/TeenTitansStarfire Kory]]), someone who had a crush on him (Characters/PowerGirl, Characters/{{Supergirl|TheCharacter}}, [[Characters/TeenTitansNewTeenTitans Raven]], etc.), or [[CrossoverShip exist in a different medium altogether]]. [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]] rarely gets shipped with him -- fans enjoy their friendship too much -- but Donna/Dick has its fans. Even characters that are usually considered to be contemporaries of Bruce and not Dick have been shipped with Dick -- examples include Dinah Lance, who once said that Dick was even more handsome than Bruce, and [[Characters/{{Zatanna}} Zatanna Zatara]], who was paired with him in ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}''.
** Dick's "bicycliness" doesn't stop with the females he meets, at least in the fandom. Popular SlashFic pairings fix him up with Bruce, Roy, Wally, Tim, Jason, Terry...

* While not getting much love in-universe, [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]] fans seem to think he has chemistry with almost anyone who tolerates him for more than 5 minutes. Popular ships include [[Characters/MarvelComicsCable Cable]], Weasel, Bob, Characters/{{Domino|MarvelComics}}, Black Widow, [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]], [[Characters/DaredevilCentralRoguesGallery Bullseye]], and [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]].
* In the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse, ''ComicBook/DonaldDuck''. Aside from Daisy, we have Donna Duck (once the prototype for Daisy, later established as a separate character), Reginella, [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures Xadhoom, Lila Lay]], [[ComicBook/DoubleDuck Kay K]], multiple one-shot characters... And those are the ones with canon ShipTease. It got so bad that Disney found it necessary to [[ShipSinking torpedo any ship except Donald x Daisy]]... And it ''still'' doesn't work, as proven by Reginella repeatedly coming back due to fan demand even if she's supposed to be out of reach on another planet.
* Looks like [[ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider new Ghost Rider]] Robbie Reyes is a good way to becoming this, considering people started pairing him with at least three people ([[Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan Kamala Khan]], [[Characters/RunawaysTitleTeam Nico Minoru]] and [[Characters/NewWarriors Water Snake]]) before the first issue of his series even came out. ''After'' his first issue, he got paired with X-23, Agent Venom's sidekick Mania, the Hulk's daughter Lyra, and [[CrossoverShip Jason Todd]] (who isn't even in the same ''universe'').
* In the Batman fandom, Characters/{{Harley Quinn|TheCharacter}} [[ReallyGetsAround gets paired with lots of different guys]] plus [[LesYay Ivy]]. Which is ironic since in canon she's shown to have SingleTargetSexuality for [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] and some subtext with Ivy. Harley has also had her moments with Batman himself on occasion (see above for all the ships he's launched), at one point kissing him on the lips for being nice to her. Also, as of The New 52's ComicBook/SuicideSquad, is frequently ship teased with [[Characters/SuicideSquadOperatives Deadshot]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsClintBarton Clint Barton]] is largely considered the Marvel character who can be with any single other superheroine in the Marvel Universe and it not to come off strange. His current tally includes the first Ronin ([[Characters/DaredevilSupportingCharacters Maya Lopez]]), The Black Widow, Characters/{{Mockingbird|MarvelComics}}, Moonstone, the Characters/ScarletWitch, and the Wasp. Currently in an "it's complicated" relationship with [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]].
* Who hasn't [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] been paired up with? Depending on how you count it, no one. There's even one fanfic out there pairing him with [[CrackShip Hal]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Emmerich!]]

* Similarly ComicBook/SheHulk due taking to pride in her [[ReallyGetsAround sexuality and promiscuity]] has been shipped with pretty every unmarried male hero (and villain) in the MU. Her canon love interests include Daniel "Zapper" Ridge, Eros, Wyatt Wingfoot, John Jameson III, Clay Quartermain, Iron Man, Hercules, Characters/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}} (though it got retconned) and more recently Thor. Shulkie has also flirted with Spider-Man, Johnny Storm, Wolverine, Captain America and even kissed Ben Grimm aka Characters/TheThing. Some even goes as far to ship She-Hulk [[KissingCousins with her own cousin Hulk]] which unfortunately in {{Squick}} fuel did become canon in the ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'' universe. She-Hulk also plenty of LesYay ships such with ladies such The Wasp, Skrull Jazinda and Thundra.

* Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} is also considered to be a Launcher of a Thousand Ships for the main heroes of DC comics. It's just that none of the pairings ever stick in canon. They've tried to pair her up with Characters/{{Aquaman|TheCharacter}}, Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}, Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}, and [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2006 Nemesis]]. It also helps out shippers that she's been implied to be bisexual since [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]] of her self titled book and now has a confirmed past romantic relationship with another woman.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]] is this to an extreme extent -- not only is he paired with almost every woman in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane]], [[Characters/SpiderManSupportingCharacters Betty Brant]], Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}, [[Characters/MarvelComicsGwenStacy Gwen Stacy]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SheHulk, ComicBook/BlackWidow, [[Characters/MarvelComicsWildPack Silver Sable]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Richards]], Characters/TheWasp, [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsLauraKinney X-23]], but also dozens of guys, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsLogan Wolverine]], Harry Osborn, [[Characters/MarvelComicsFlashThompson Flash Thompson]], all incarnations of [[Characters/MarvelComicsVenom Venom]] and the symbiote itself, [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga his own clones]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsTonyStark Iron Man]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Green Goblin]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsMattMurdock Daredevil]] and, as mentioned above, [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]]. And that's only the most popular ones.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]] is this to an extreme extent -- not only is he paired with almost every woman in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane]], [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Betty Brant]], Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}, [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Gwen Stacy]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SheHulk, ComicBook/BlackWidow, [[Characters/MarvelComicsWildPack Silver Sable]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Richards]], Characters/TheWasp, [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsLauraKinney X-23]], but also dozens of guys, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsLogan Wolverine]], Harry Osborn, [[Characters/MarvelComicsFlashThompson Flash Thompson]], all incarnations of [[Characters/MarvelComicsVenom Venom]] and the symbiote itself, [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga his own clones]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsTonyStark Iron Man]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Green Goblin]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsMattMurdock Daredevil]] and, as mentioned above, [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]]. And that's only the most popular ones.

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] gets plenty of this despite being more closely linked to Cyclops and Wolverine, still has plenty of {{U|nresolvedSexualTension}}ST with [[Characters/MarvelComicsBeast Beast]] and with Mastermind and she has even kissed [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Spider-Man]] '''twice'''. And that's getting into the LesYay she has with her female teammates most noticeably Storm.
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]] as well. Often with characters named [[ComicBook/{{Colossus}} Pe]][[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker ter]], because that's a RunningGag in the Marvel Universe. And other times with her [[MentorShip mentors]].

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]] is this to an extreme extent -- not only is he paired with almost every woman in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane]], [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Betty Brant]], Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}, [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Gwen Stacy]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SheHulk, ComicBook/BlackWidow, [[Characters/MarvelComicsWildPack Silver Sable]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Richards]], Characters/TheWasp, [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]] and [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]], but also dozens of guys, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]], Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, all incarnations of ComicBook/{{Venom}} and the symbiote itself, [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga his own clones]], ComicBook/IronMan, [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Green Goblin]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsMattMurdock Daredevil]] and, as mentioned above, [[Characters/MarvelComicsDeadpool Deadpool]]. And that's only the most popular ones.

And that's only the most popular ones.

* [[ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} Clint Barton]] is largely considered the Marvel character who can be with any single other superheroine in the Marvel Universe and it not to come off strange. His current tally includes the first Ronin ([[Characters/DaredevilSupportingCharacters Maya Lopez]]), The Black Widow, Characters/{{Mockingbird|MarvelComics}}, Moonstone, the Characters/ScarletWitch, and the Wasp. Currently in an "it's complicated" relationship with [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]].

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan Kamala Khan]] is no slouch, either. She's been paired with her friend Bruno, her other friend Nakia, the aforementioned Robbie Reyes, [[ComicBook/{{Nova}} Sam Alexander]], [[Characters/UltimateSpiderManMilesMorales Miles Morales]], [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Peter Parker]], Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}, her mentor [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers the original Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard, and [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]].

* ComicBook/SpiderMan is this to an extreme extent -- not only is he paired with almost every woman in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane]], [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Betty Brant]], Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}, [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Gwen Stacy]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SheHulk, ComicBook/BlackWidow, [[Characters/MarvelComicsWildPack Silver Sable]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Richards]], Characters/TheWasp, [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]] and [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]], but also dozens of guys, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]], Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, all incarnations of ComicBook/{{Venom}} and the symbiote itself, [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga his own clones]], ComicBook/IronMan, [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Green Goblin]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]], Characters/{{Daredevil|MattMurdock}} and, as mentioned above, Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}}.

It also helps out shippers that she's been implied to be bisexual since [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]] of her self titled book and now has a confirmed past romantic relationship with another woman.

** Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}} is considered to be a sexual stud-muffin given that he has been paired with virtually every other character possible in the X-Men in fanfic. The authors sense this too. His canonical love interests have included: Silver Fox, Viper (with a very descriptive honeymoon), [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] (whom has a {{Polyamory}} relationship with him and Cyclops), [[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]], the Heather Hudson version of Vindicator, the Silver Samurai's sister Mariko Yashida, his string of female sidekicks like [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]], [[Characters/XMen90sMembers Jubilee]], and [[Characters/NewXMenAcademyX Pixie]], and many more.

** [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]] has quite a few pairings, starting with normal ones with guys ([[Characters/NewXMenAcademyX Hellion]], [[Characters/AvengersAcademy Juston]]) and [[LesYay girls]] ([[https://www.deviantart.com/ricken-art/art/Laura-and-Jubilee-373508821 Jubilee]], [[Characters/NewXMenAcademyX Dust, Mercury]], Finesse) alike, through a few [[CrackPairing a bit more insane]] ([[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Spider-Man]], Characters/{{Incredible Hulk|BruceBanner}}), up to downright [[{{Squick}} squicky ones]] ([[BrotherSisterIncest Daken]]).

* The Comicbook/BlackWidow is the female version of this in Marvel comics. Her relationships include ComicBook/IronMan, Hawkeye, Characters/{{Daredevil|MattMurdock}}, [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]], an attempt by the writers to set her up with Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}}(?!), and arguably ComicBook/NickFury. Even her late husband (she's a widow, get it?), the Red Guardian, was a superhero. Yes, Natasha goes with everything.

* [[Characters/WolverineSupportingCharacters Daken]], Wolverine's son and member of the Comicbook/DarkAvengers, is starting to become this, mostly just being paired with male characters though. But then again he's a DepravedBisexual whose powers include super-healing and what amounts to sex-pollen. Common pairings include every member of the Dark Avengers ([[Characters/DaredevilCentralRoguesGallery Bullseye]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsMacGargan Mac/Venom]] in particular), his father Wolverine, Northstar, Deadpool, Anole, Wiccan and Hulkling.

* In the Batman fandom, Characters/{{Harley Quinn|TheCharacter}} [[ReallyGetsAround gets paired with lots of different guys]] plus [[LesYay Ivy]]. Which is ironic since in canon she's shown to have SingleTargetSexuality for [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] and some subtext with Ivy.

Currently in an "it's complicated" relationship with [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]].

** Since his PlotRelevantAgeUp Loki themself gets shipped with pretty much every single member of the team. And since their [[Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard solo title]] everybody in that too, including an alternate version of [[spoiler:[[ScrewYourself themself]]]], not to mention the people they [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight never met but are still shipped]] with like [[Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan Kamala Khan]].

* Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} is also considered to be a Launcher of a Thousand Ships for the main heroes of DC comics. It's just that none of the pairings ever stick in canon. They've tried to pair her up with Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}, Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}, and [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2006 Nemesis]]. It also helps out shippers that she's been implied to be bisexual since [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]] of her self titled book and now has a confirmed past romantic relationship with another woman.

** Characters/{{B|atmanTheCharacter}}ruce. Look at how many love interests he's had in the course of Franchise/{{Batman}} History! Plus how many women have kissed him! Even non-love interests have kissed him, like Harley Quinn! If you think about it, comic book love interests, villainesses, movie love interests, TV show love interests, animated DCU love interests... that's just the TIP of the iceberg! Plus slash pairings! IN ALL INCARNATIONS!

* Franchise/SpiderMan is this to an extreme extent -- not only is he paired with almost every woman in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane]], [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Betty Brant]], Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}, [[Characters/SpiderManLoveInterests Gwen Stacy]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SheHulk, ComicBook/BlackWidow, [[Characters/MarvelComicsWildPack Silver Sable]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Richards]], Characters/TheWasp, [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Spider-Woman]] and [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]], but also dozens of guys, including [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]], [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]], Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, all incarnations of ComicBook/{{Venom}} and the symbiote itself, [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga his own clones]], ComicBook/IronMan, [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Green Goblin]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]], Characters/{{Daredevil|MattMurdock}} and, as mentioned above, Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}}. And that's only the most popular ones.

* ''Franchise/XMen'':
** For a long time (and probably to this day) [[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit]] has fulfilled this role in ''Comicbook/XMen'' fandom, being paired with any and every character out there, regardless of whether he likes them, or whether he's even met them in the first place.

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]] while not as much as Logan or Jean, still gets shipped around the X-Men having had moments with Psylocke, a relationship with Characters/{{Emma Frost|WhiteQueen}}, and technically [[Characters/MarvelComicsMadelynePryor Madelyne Pryor]] Jean's EvilKnockOff. Also the HoYay he has with Wolverine and several other male X-Men

** [[Characters/XMenTheOriginalTeam Iceman]] gets this treatment too, but for a different reason. He's easy to identify with and thus is a good AudienceSurrogate, so making him slutty and pairing him with absolutely everyone [[WishFulfillment makes much of the X-Men fandom happy]].

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] gets plenty of this despite being more closely linked to Cyclops and Wolverine, still has plenty of {{U|nresolvedSexualTension}}ST with [[Characters/XMenTheOriginalTeam Beast]] and with Mastermind and she has even kissed [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Spider-Man]] '''twice'''. And that's getting into the LesYay she has with her female teammates most noticeably Storm.

** Characters/{{Mystique}}, a bisexual shapeshifter who's taken on both male and female forms. She's usually a villain, but has spent time as a hero, so she can be paired with anyone of any CharacterAlignment, gender, or sexual orientation.

** The Black Cat herself is no slouch. Besides the long list of paramours she's had in canon [[note]]Peter, Flash, the Foreigner, Puma, Odessa, the Human Torch and Tamara[[/note]], it's quite common for fans to pair her with MJ, Silk, Gwen Stacy, Silver Sable and even Eddie Brock.
* Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} is also considered to be a Launcher of a Thousand Ships for the main heroes of DC comics. It's just that none of the pairings ever stick in canon. They've tried to pair her up with Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}}, Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}}, and [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2006 Nemesis]].

* Similarly ComicBook/SheHulk due taking to pride in her [[ReallyGetsAround sexuality and promiscuity]] has been shipped with pretty every unmarried male hero (and villain) in the MU. Her canon love interests include Daniel "Zapper" Ridge, Eros, Wyatt Wingfoot, John Jameson III, Clay Quartermain, Iron Man, Hercules, ComicBook/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}} (though it got retconned) and more recently Thor. Shulkie has also flirted with Spider-Man, Johnny Storm, Wolverine, Captain America and even kissed Ben Grimm aka Characters/TheThing. Some even goes as far to ship She-Hulk [[KissingCousins with her own cousin Hulk]] which unfortunately in {{Squick}} fuel did become canon in the ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'' universe. She-Hulk also plenty of LesYay ships such with ladies such The Wasp, Skrull Jazinda and Thundra.

* Back in ''[[ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX New X-Men]]'' Prodigy had only been shipped with his canonical {{Love Interest|s}}, Surge, and possibly with Wallflower. Since he joined ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', however, he has also been paired up with [[Characters/YoungAvengersTitleTeam Speed, Hulkling, Miss America]], [[Characters/HawkeyeKateBishop Kate Bishop]], [[FoeYayShipping Loki]] and [[Characters/GenerationHope Transonic]].

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]] gets her share as well, on account of attractive character design and copious doses of fetish material, LesYay... especially when written by Creator/ChrisClaremont. Ororo is hot enough that both {{Dracula}} and Characters/DoctorDoom have had a VillainousCrush on her.
** [[Characters/XMen80sMembers Rogue]] much like Storm due being such an iconic and sexy MsFanservice gets shipped all over the Marvel Universe besides the X-Men, she's probably the one of the few characters who can boast about having kissed Gambit, Captain America, Archangel, Wolverine, The Thing, Cyclops, Black Widow, The Juggernaut, [[Characters/XMenMojoverse Longshot]], Colossus, Magneto ''and'' Deadpool in her life. Not that anyone ''would'' or ''should'' be proud of kissing Deadpool or Juggernaut.

* In the Batman fandom, Characters/{{Harley Quinn|AndSupportingCharacters}} [[ReallyGetsAround gets paired with lots of different guys]] plus [[LesYay Ivy]].

** Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}} is considered to be a sexual stud-muffin given that he has been paired with virtually every other character possible in the X-Men in fanfic. The authors sense this too. His canonical love interests have included: Silver Fox, Viper (with a very descriptive honeymoon), [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] (never consummated), Characters/{{Mystique}}, [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]], the Heather Hudson version of Vindicator, the Silver Samurai's sister Mariko Yashida, his string of female sidekicks like [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]], [[Characters/XMen90sMembers Jubilee]], and [[Characters/NewXMenAcademyX Pixie]], and many more.

** Archie himself is obvious. In canon, he practically has his own harem and has had many love interests over the years. In non-canon territory he gets shipped with [[HoYay Jughead]] and [[FoeYay Reggie]] pretty often.

* It's a running gag in Franchise/TheDCU that virtually every female that comes in contact with Characters/{{Nightwing|DickGrayson}} falls in love with him. And that's not even getting into the FoeYay...

* Back in ''[[ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX New X-Men]]'' Prodigy had only been shipped with his canonical {{Love Interest|s}}, Surge, and possibly with Wallflower. Since he joined ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', however, he has also been paired up with [[Characters/YoungAvengersTitleTeam Speed, Hulkling, Miss America]], [[Characters/HawkeyeKateBishop Kate Bishop]], [[FoeYay Loki]] and [[Characters/GenerationHope Transonic]].

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] gets plenty of this despite being more closely linked to Cyclops and Wolverine, still has plenty of {{U|nresolvedSexualTension}}ST with [[Characters/XMenTheOriginalTeam Beast]] and FoeYay with Mastermind and she has even kissed [[Characters/SpiderManPeterParker Spider-Man]] '''twice'''. And that's getting into the LesYay she has with her female teammates most noticeably Storm.

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]] gets her share as well, on account of attractive character design and copious doses of fetish material, FoeYay and LesYay... especially when written by Creator/ChrisClaremont. Ororo is hot enough that both {{Dracula}} and Characters/DoctorDoom have had a VillainousCrush on her.

** Archie himself is obvious. In canon, he practically has his own harem and has had many love interests over the years. In non-canon territory he gets shipped with [[HoYayShipping Jughead]] and [[FoeYayShipping Reggie]] pretty often.

* A common joke about ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' fans is that Mettle is a natural ChickMagnet for teenage Asian girls, leading to him being paired with his canonical girlfriend Hazmat, [[ComicBook/XMen Armor]], [[ComicBook/NewMutants Surge]], [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Nico Minoru]] or all four at the same time.
* The Comicbook/BlackWidow is the female version of this in Marvel comics. Her relationships include ComicBook/IronMan, Hawkeye, Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}, [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]], Comicbook/BuckyBarnes, an attempt by the writers to set her up with Comicbook/{{Deadpool}}(?!), and arguably Comicbook/NickFury. Even her late husband (she's a widow, get it?), the Red Guardian, was a superhero. Yes, Natasha goes with everything.

* ComicBook/{{Daken}}, Wolverine's son and member of the Comicbook/DarkAvengers, is starting to become this, mostly just being paired with male characters though. But then again he's a DepravedBisexual whose powers include super-healing and what amounts to sex-pollen. Common pairings include every member of the Dark Avengers (Bullseye and Mac[=/=]Venom in particular), his father Wolverine, Northstar, Deadpool, Anole, Wiccan and Hulkling.
* It's a running gag in the Franchise/DCUniverse that virtually every female that comes in contact with ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} falls in love with him. And that's not even getting into the FoeYay...
** Known exceptions: Dr. Leslie Tompkins (Old enough to be his grandmother) and Batwoman (lesbian)... and that's about it. Every female who's legal and is remotely in his age range appears to be fair game, whether they're canon love interests (Barbara, Helena, Kory), someone who had a crush on him (Power Girl, Supergirl, Raven, etc), or [[CrossoverShip exist in a different medium altogether]]. Donna Troy rarely gets shipped with him -- fans enjoy their friendship too much -- but Donna/Dick has its fans. Even characters that are usually considered to be contemporaries of Bruce and not Dick have been shipped with Dick -- examples include Dinah Lance, who once said that Dick was even more handsome than Bruce, and Zatanna Zatara, who was paired with him in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.

** Bruce. Look at how many love interests he's had in the course of Franchise/{{Batman}} History! Plus how many women have kissed him! Even non-love interests have kissed him, like Harley Quinn! If you think about it, comic book love interests, villainesses, movie love interests, TV show love interests, animated DCU love interests... that's just the TIP of the iceberg! Plus slash pairings! IN ALL INCARNATIONS!
** [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim Drake]]! He stays mostly to the batfamily side of things, but popular ships include: Dick/Tim, Jason/Tim, Bruce/Tim, Damian/Tim, Kon/Tim, Bart/Tim, Kon/Bart/Tim, Steph/Tim, Tim/Tam, Cassie/Tim, Cass/Tim, Ra's/Tim and Tim/Bernard. Canonically, he is a gorgeous woman as Caroline Hill (one of his many undercover disguises), and there are several fics pairing other characters with "her." It also helps that Marcus To's drawings of Tim brought him into the ranks of a PrettyBoy with pretty hair.

** When she's not paired with [[{{Pun}} Dick]], [[ComicBook/{{Oracle}} Barbara Gordon]] gets a lot of action from other superheroines, mostly from her ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey team, or ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} proteges, and sometimes Dick's own love interests. It doesn't help that Creator/GailSimone intentionally writes in plenty of LesYay in her runs.
** Even Damian, who is ''the'' JerkWithAHeartOfGold and only ten or thirteen years old (depending on the continuity), has been shipped with nearly everyone in (and out) of his age group and both genders. Between Colin Wilkes, [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} Jon Kent]], [[Characters/TheFlashOtherSpeedsters Irey West]], Maya Ducard and [[ComicBook/GothamAcademy Maps Mizoguchi]], he has a ''lot'' of shipping partners for someone his age.

* While not getting much love in-universe, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} fans seem to think he has chemistry with almost anyone who tolerates him for more than 5 minutes. Popular ships include ComicBook/{{Cable}}, Weasel, Bob, Domino, Black Widow, Franchise/SpiderMan, Bullseye, and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica.

* Looks like [[ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider new Ghost Rider]] Robbie Reyes is a good way to becoming this, considering people started pairing him with at least three people ([[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]], [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Nico Minoru]] and [[Comicbook/NewWarriors Water Snake]]) before the first issue of his series even came out. ''After'' his first issue, he got paired with X-23, Agent Venom's sidekick Mania, the Hulk's daughter Lyra, and [[CrossoverShip Jason Todd]] (who isn't even in the same ''universe'').
* In the Batman fandom, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn [[ReallyGetsAround gets paired with lots of different guys]] plus [[LesYay Ivy]]. Which is ironic since in canon she's shown to have SingleTargetSexuality for ComicBook/TheJoker and some subtext with Ivy. Harley has also had her moments with Batman himself on occasion (see above for all the ships he's launched), at one point kissing him on the lips for being nice to her.
** Also, as of The New 52's Comicbook/SuicideSquad, is frequently ship teased with ComicBook/{{Deadshot}}.
* [[Comicbook/{{Hawkeye}} Clint Barton]] is largely considered the Marvel character who can be with any single other superheroine in the Marvel Universe and it not to come off strange. His current tally includes the first Ronin (Maya Lopez), The Black Widow, Mockingbird, Moonstone, the Scarlet Witch, and the Wasp. Currently in an "it's complicated" relationship with Spider-Woman.
* Who hasn't [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] been paired up with? Depending on [[http://i54.tinypic.com/1zh1q4p.jpg how you count it]], no one.
** There's even one fanfic out there pairing him with [[CrackShip Hal]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Emmerich!]]
* [[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]] is no slouch, either. She's been paired with her friend Bruno, her other friend Nakia, the aforementioned Robbie Reyes, [[ComicBook/{{Nova}} Sam Alexander]], ComicBook/MilesMorales, [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]], ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, her mentor the original ComicBook/MsMarvel, ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard, and [[ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool Gwenpool]].

* Back in ''[[ComicBook/NewMutants New X-Men]]'' Prodigy had only been shipped with his canonical LoveInterest, Surge, and possibly with Wallflower. Since he joined ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', however, he has also been paired up with Speed, Hulkling, Miss America, Kate Bishop, [[FoeYay Loki]] and [[ComicBook/GenerationHope Transonic]].

* Simlarly ComicBook/SheHulk due taking to pride in her [[ReallyGetsAround sexuality and promiscuity]] has been shipped with pretty every unmarried male hero (and villain) in the MU. Her canon love interests include Daniel "Zapper" Ridge, Eros, Wyatt Wingfoot, John Jameson III, Clay Quartermain, Iron Man, Hercules, Juggernaut (though it got retconned) and more recently Thor. Shulkie has also flirted with Spider-Man, Johnny Storm, Wolverine, Captain America and even kissed Ben Grimm aka The Thing. Some even goes as far to ship She-Hulk [[KissingCousins with her own cousin Hulk]] which unfortunately in {{Squick}} fuel did become canon in the ''ComicBook/OldManLogan'' universe. She-Hulk also plenty of LesYay ships such with ladies such The Wasp, Skrull Jazinda and Thundra.

* Franchise/SpiderMan is this to an extreme extent -- not only is he paired with almost every woman in the MarvelUniverse, including Mary Jane, Betty Brant, Black Cat, Gwen Stacy, [[{{Comicbook/MsMarvel}} Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SheHulk, ComicBook/BlackWidow, Silver Sable, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Richards]], Wasp, ComicBook/SpiderWoman and ComicBook/{{X 23}}, but also dozens of guys, including Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]], {{Wolverine}}, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, all incarnations of ComicBook/{{Venom}} and the symbiote itself, [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga his own clones]], ComicBook/IronMan, Green Goblin, ComicBook/{{Loki}}, Doctor Octopus, Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} and, as mentioned above, Comicbook/{{Deadpool}}. And that's only the most popular ones.
* Franchise/WonderWoman is also considered to be a Launcher of a Thousand Ships for the main heroes of DC comics. It's just that none of the pairings ever stick in cannon. They've tried to pair her up with Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, Franchise/{{Batman}}, Franchise/{{Superman}}, and [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2006 Nemesis]]. It also helps out shippers that she's been implied to be bi since [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]] of her self titled book and now has a confirmed past romantic relationship with another woman.

** For a long time (and probably to this day) ComicBook/{{Gambit}} has fulfilled this role in ''Comicbook/XMen'' fandom, being paired with any and every character out there, regardless of whether he likes them, or whether he's even met them in the first place.
** Comicbook/{{Wolverine}} is considered to be a sexual stud-muffin given that he has been paired with virtually every other character possible in the X-Men in fanfic. The authors sense this too. His canonical love interests have included: Silver Fox, Viper (with a very descriptive honeymoon), Jean Grey (never consumated), Mystique, Storm, the Heather Hudson version of Vindicator, the Silver Samurai's sister Mariko Yashida, his string of female sidekicks like Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, and Pixie, and many more.
** Iceman gets this treatment too, but for a different reason. He's easy to identify with and thus is a good AudienceSurrogate, so making him slutty and pairing him with absolutely everyone [[WishFulfillment makes much of the X-Men fandom happy]].
** ComicBook/{{Mystique}}, a bisexual shapeshifter who's taken on both male and female forms. She's usually a villain, but has spent time as a hero, so she can be paired with anyone of any CharacterAlignment, gender, or sexual orientation.
** ComicBook/JeanGrey gets plenty of this despite being more closely linked to Cyclops and Wolverine, still has plenty of {{UST}} with ComicBook/{{Beast|MarvelComics}} and FoeYay with Mastermind and she has even kissed ComicBook/SpiderMan '''twice'''. And that's getting into the LesYay she has with her female teammates most noticeably Storm.
** ComicBook/KittyPryde as well. Often with characters named [[ComicBook/{{Colossus}} Pe]][[ComicBook/SpiderMan ter]], because that's a RunningGag in the Marvel Universe. And other times with her [[MentorShip mentors]].
** ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} while not as much as Logan or Jean, still gets gets shipped around the X-Men having had moments with Psylocke, a relationship with Emma Frost, and technically Madelyn Prior Jean's EvilKnockOff. Also the HoYay he has with Wolverine and several other male X-Men
** And if there's a popular male character, you can bet someone's shipped them with Northstar.
** ComicBook/{{Storm}} gets her share as well, on account of attractive character design and copious doses of fetish material, FoeYay and LesYay... especially when written by Creator/ChrisClaremont. Ororo is hot enough that both {{Dracula}} and ComicBook/DoctorDoom have had a VillainousCrush on her.
** ComicBook/{{Rogue}} much like Storm due being such an iconic and sexy MsFanservice gets shipped all over the Marvel Universe besides the X-Men, she's probably the one of the few characters who can boast about having kissed Gambit, Captain America, Archangel, Wolverine, The Thing, Cyclops, Black Widow, The Juggernaut, Longshot, Colossus, Magneto ''and'' Deadpool in her life. Not that anyone ''would'' or ''should'' be proud of kissing Deadpool or Juggernaut.
** ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, for her reputation of sleeping around a bit, and for being the one who ran around for most of her existence in her "ninja bathing suit" costume.
** ComicBook/{{X 23}} has quite a few pairings, starting with normal ones with guys ([[ComicBook/NewMutants Hellion]], [[ComicBook/AvengersAcademy Juston]]) and [[LesYay girls]] ([[https://www.deviantart.com/ricken-art/art/Laura-and-Jubilee-373508821 Jubilee]], Dust, Mercury, Finesse) alike, through a few [[CrackPairing a bit more insane]] (ComicBook/SpiderMan, Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk), up to downright [[{{Squick}} squicky ones]] ([[BrotherSisterIncest Daken]]).
** ComicBook/{{Magneto}} also gets a ton of this, everyone from ComicBook/ProfessorX who he is HeterosexualLifePartners with to Rogue and Mystique whom he has had relationships with in the comics and other media.

** ComicBook/JeanGrey gets plenty of this despite being more closely linked to Cyclops and Wolverine, still has plenty of {{UST}} with ComicBook/{{Beast}} and FoeYay with Mastermind and she has even kissed ComicBook/SpiderMan '''twice'''. And that's getting into the LesYay she has with her female teammates most noticeably Storm.

Her relationships include ComicBook/IronMan, Hawkeye, Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}, [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]], Comicbook/BuckyBarnes, an attempt by the writers to set her up with Comicbook/{{Deadpool}}(?!), and arguably Comicbook/NickFury. Even her late husband (she's a widow, get it?), the Red Guardian, was a superhero. Yes, Natasha goes with everything.
** Called out in one of the early issues of her recent solo series, where Captain America, Iron Man, and at least one other are protesting her innocence to a higher-up, who concludes his devastating rebuttal about her super-spy skills with "Case in point. . . is there any one of you she hasn't slept with?" Cue three very guilty looks.

* In the Batman fandom, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn [[ReallyGetsAround gets paired with lots of different guys]] plus [[LesYay Ivy]]. Which is ironic since in canon she's shown to have SingleTargetSexuality for ComicBook/TheJoker and some subtext with Ivy.

Common pairings include every member of the Dark Avengers (Bullseye and Mac[=/=]Venom in particular), his father Wolverine, Northstar, Deadpool, Anole, Wiccan and Hulkling.
* You wouldn't think so, but a large number of ComicBook/SinCity FanFics are either slash fics or involve {{Shipping}} amongst the cast. This often involves [[LesYay the female characters.]]
* Princess Sally from ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics can be either type. '''IN CANON''', no less.
* While not getting much love in-universe, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} fans seem to think he has chemistry with almost anyone who tolerates him for more than 5 minutes. Popular ships include ComicBook/{{Cable}}, Weasel, Bob, Domino, Black Widow, Franchise/SpiderMan, Bullseye, and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica.
* Franchise/SpiderMan is this to an extreme extent - not only is he paired with almost every woman in the MarvelUniverse, including Mary Jane, Betty Brant, Black Cat, Gwen Stacy, [[{{Comicbook/MsMarvel}} Ms. Marvel]], ComicBook/SheHulk, ComicBook/BlackWidow, Silver Sable, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Richards]], Wasp, ComicBook/SpiderWoman and ComicBook/{{X 23}}, but also dozens of guys, including Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Johnny Storm]], {{Wolverine}}, Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson, all incarnations of ComicBook/{{Venom}} and the symbiote itself, [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga his own clones]], ComicBook/IronMan, Green Goblin, ComicBook/{{Loki}}, Doctor Octopus, Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} and, as mentioned above, Comicbook/{{Deadpool}}. And that's only the most popular ones.
* A common joke about ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' fans is that Mettle is a natural ChickMagnet for teenage Asian girls, leading to him being paired with his canonical girlfriend Hazmat, [[ComicBook/XMen Armor]], [[ComicBook/NewMutants Surge]], [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Nico Minoru]] or all four at the same time.

Since he joined ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', however, he has also been paired up with Speed, Hulkling, Miss America, Kate Bishop, [[FoeYay Loki]] and [[ComicBook/GenerationHope Transonic]].
** Since his PlotRelevantAgeUp Loki themself gets shipped with pretty much every single member of the team. And since their [[Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard solo title]] everybody in that too, including an alternate version of [[spoiler:[[ScrewYourself themself]]]], not to mention the people they [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight never met but are still shipped]] with like [[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]].
*** The writers seem to be aware of this because since then Loki and Kamala have met in a {{Crossover}} that was set at a HighSchoolDance no less.
*** As with Mystique above, being a bisexual shapeshifter with both male and female forms who's usually been a villain but also been a hero helps. The logical conclusion to this would be [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight pairing Loki/Mystique]]...
* Looks like [[ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider new Ghost Rider]] Robbie Reyes is a good way to becoming this, considering people started pairing him with at least three people ([[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan]], [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Nico Minoru]] and [[Comicbook/NewWarriors Water Snake]]) before the first issue of his series even came out.

** Kamala and Loki are often "friendshipped" platonically, perhaps because they're both [[JustForFun/OneOfUs geeky]], web-savvy, and canonically fanfic writers, but actual romance would be squicky since Kamala's only 16 (and Loki's a reincarnation of an ancient god with a ''very'' dark past).
* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'':
** Archie himself is obvious. In canon, he practically has his own harem and has had many love interests over the years. In non-canon territory he gets shipped with [[HoYayShipping Jughead]] and [[FoeYayShipping Reggie]] pretty often.
** Jughead is well-known for disliking girls but that doesn't stop him from being shipped with Veronica, Betty, Ethel, and various minor girls. Then there are the people who consider him AmbiguouslyGay and ship him with Archie, Reggie, or Kevin.
* In the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse, ''ComicBook/DonaldDuck''. Aside from Daisy, we have Donna Duck (once the prototype for Daisy, later established as a separate character), Reginella, [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures Xadhoom, Lila Lay]], [[ComicBook/DoubleDuck Kay K]], multiple one-shot characters... And those are the ones with canon ShipTease. It got so bad that Disney found it necessary to [[ShipSinking torpedo any ship except Donald x Daisy]]... And it ''still'' doesn't work, as proven by Reginella repeatedly coming back due to fan demand even if she's supposed to be out of reach on another planet.

** Dick's "bicycliness" doesn't stop with the females he meets, at least in the fandom. Popular {{slash}} pairings fix him up with Bruce, Roy, Wally, Tim, Jason, Terry...

* Princess Sally from ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog can be either type. '''IN CANON''', no less.

** ComicBook/JeanGrey gets plenty of this despite being more closely linked to Cyclops and Wolverine, still has plenty of {{UST}} with ComicBook{{Beast}} and FoeYay with Mastermind and she has even kissed ComicBook/SpiderMan '''twice'''. And that's getting into the LesYay she has with her female teammates most noticeably Storm.

* ComicBook/{{X 23}} has quite a few pairings, starting with normal ones with guys ([[ComicBook/NewMutants Hellion]], [[ComicBook/AvengersAcademy Juston]]) and [[LesYay girls]] (Jubilee, Dust, Mercury, Finesse) alike, through a few [[CrackPairing a bit more insane]] (ComicBook/SpiderMan, Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk), up to downright [[{{Squick}} squicky ones]] ([[BrotherSisterIncest Daken]]).

** Kitty Pryde as well. Often with characters named [[ComicBook/{{Colossus}} Pe]][[ComicBook/SpiderMan ter]], because that's a RunningGag in the Marvel Universe. And other times with her [[MentorShip mentors]].
** ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} while not as much as Logan or Jean, still gets gets shipped around the X-Men having had moments with Psylocke, a relationship with Emma Frost, and technically Madelyn Prior Jean's EvilKnockOff. Also the HoYay he has with Wolverine and several other male X-Men
