** The Big Three, Clark/Bruce/[[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]]. In Mark Waid's ''ComicBook/TheKingdomDC'' miniseries, the Kingdom Come versions of Clark and Diana have a son with Bruce as the godfather -- and the grown-up kid refers to them as his ''three'' parents. An AU featured in the 2008 ''[[ComicBook/Trinity2008 Trinity]]'' series just had the three of them get married, basically.

* There are multiple potential Threesomes that revolve around the Barbara Gordon/Richard Grayson relationship. [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Starfire]]-ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}-[[ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey Oracle]] covers the Love Triangle that revolves around Grayson, Oracle-ComicBook/BlackCanary-Nightwing covers the Triangle that revolves around Gordon, and there are [[CrackShip several other possibilities]] that involve various members of the Batfamily and Barbara's Birds of Prey team.

* ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'':
** [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim]]/[[ComicBook/{{Impulse}} Bart]]/[[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Kon]]. A very popular ship, especially given ''Comicbook/YoungJustice''. (Id + Ego + Superego = they belong together!)
** When the world was a better place, [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Steph]]/Tim/[[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cass]] was a fan favorite. The memory lives on in old fanfiction.

* Really weirdly, the ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' {{fandom}} has taken a liking to Laurie/Dan/Rorschach. It would only be possible in an [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]]. Fandom has happily provided the [=AUs=]. Fits the "canon couple (Dan/Laurie) + subtexty partnership (Dan/Rorschach)" type.

* There's considerable love for [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce]]/[[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]]/[[ComicBook/LoisLane Lois]] in fanfic as a way to resolve the opposing pulls of a popular OfficialCouple and a popular HoYay target, sometimes expanded to an [=OT4=] of Bruce/[[ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} Selina]]/Clark/Lois.
** The crackier Clark/Lois/[[CargoShip Metropolis.]] (Which is sort of canon, as Lois once commented that she's much more jealous of the city than of the scantily-clad superheroines Supes hangs out with.)
** The Big Three, Clark/Bruce/[[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]]. In Mark Waid's ''ComicBook/TheKingdomDC'' miniseries, the Kingdom Come versions of Clark and Diana have a son with Bruce as the godfather -- and the grown-up kid refers to them as his ''three'' parents. An AU featured in the 2008 ''[[ComicBook/Trinity2008 Trinity]]'' series just had the three of them get married, basically.
** Catwoman/Ivy/Harley (see especially ''ComicBook/GothamCitySirens''), Catwoman/Ivy/Batgirl (Barbara), Ivy/Harley/Batgirl, and Joker/Harley/Ivy (which is, at the very least, a canonical LoveTriangle).
** Riddler/Query/Echo in some groups. When you have two henchgirls who used to work in a fetish club, a villain who's [[BrainsAndBondage more than once been hinted to be into that sort of thing]], and the fact said henchgirls have gone to extremes to break him out… it's not exactly hard to connect some dots.
* There are multiple potential Threesomes that revolve around the Barbara Gordon/Richard Grayson relationship. [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Starfire]]-ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}-[[ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey Oracle]] covers the Love Triangle that revolves around Grayson, Oracle-ComicBook/BlackCanary-Nightwing covers the Triangle that revolves around Gordon, and there are [[CrackShip several other possibilities]] that involve various members of the Batfamily and Barbara's Birds of Prey team.
** As well as a Starfire/Nightwing/Donna Troy threesome, to keep it in the Titans family, or a Barbara/Dick/Huntress threesome to keep it in the Birds of Prey
** There are those who go for Green Arrow/Black Canary/Hal Jordan, as the former two are an on-and-off again OfficialCouple.
* ComicBook/HarleyQuinn is head over heels for ComicBook/{{the Joker}} but is heavily implied to have romances with her best friend ComicBook/PoisonIvy. Ivy/Harley shippers [[DieForOurShip usually hate]] the Joker for being highly abusive, but some go for Joker/Harley/Ivy.
* Cosmic Boy/Lightning Lad/Saturn Girl from ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'', given the closeness of the trio in canon. Ultra Boy/Apparition/Timber Wolf from the post-Zero Hour Legion isn't too beyond the pale, either.
** From [[WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes the cartoon]], we have Superman/Brainiac 5/Kell-El.
* Jason/Roy/Kori was part of what was the first wave of fanart for ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws''. After the title had ONLY been announced. And after issue one, in which Starfire has sex with Roy, and Jason states he'd "been with" her. In what might be a conscious rejection of the trope (and/or a {{retcon}}), Issue #6 reveals this to have been spending the entire night talking with her. Which hasn't stopped the fanart at all.

** [[ComicBook/RobinSeries Tim]]/[[ComicBook/{{Impulse}} Bart]]/[[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Kon]]. A very popular ship, especially given ''Comicbook/YoungJustice''. (Id + Ego + Superego = they belong together!)
** When the world was a better place, [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Steph]]/Tim/[[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cass]] was a fan favorite. The memory lives on in old fanfiction.
** Kon/Tim/Cass exists for those who enjoy Kon/Tim, Kon/Cass, and Tim/Cass.
** There's even some people that ship the Core Four of Young Justice, Bart/Tim/Conner/Cassie, together.
* Really weirdly, the ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' {{fandom}} has taken a liking to Laurie/Dan/Rorschach. It would only be possible in an [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]]. Fandom has happily provided the [=AUs=]. Fits the "canon couple (Dan/Laurie) + subtexty partnership (Dan/Rorschach)" type.
