** There's still a Terra/Beast Boy vs Raven/Beast Boy war, that was first fueled mainly by Terra 2 and the fans of the cartoon who came to enjoy the comics. Terra 2 was later killed off as cannon fodder in an event, but the wars continued when DC brought out a ''third'' version of the character (albeit one not very connected to Beast Boy or the Titans). The second and third Terras have since been erased by the New52 reboot, in which only the first one now exists as an active character. As she's partnered off with Beast Boy, ship wars have started anew. Even more so after Beast Boy winds up separated from that Terra and winds up brought to the Titans by the New 52 version of Raven.

* There is a great deal of tension between those who ship Character/HarleyQuinn and Character/TheJoker and those who, well, don't. At all. Because their relationship is psychotic and abusive. Those who do ship the pair argue that shipping a pairing is not the same thing as condoning it.

** Before that, there was a component of fandom who seemed to prefer Lana as Superman's love interest, though it seems to have been localized into FanFic. Except that ''Man of Steel'' (the comic, not the movie) mastermind JohnByrne actually said he wished he could have had Superman and Lana end up together.

* The British counterpart to ''Archie's Sonic'', ''Comicbook/SonicTheComic'', has some mild ship-to-ship combat. It mostly centers around Amy's and Tekno's RomanticTwoGirlFriendship versus Shortfuse's and Tekno's relationship. WordOfGod is Tekno and Shortfuse have a "thing" for each other, though it wasn't shown much in the comics (the [[Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline fan-continuation]] tries to make up for it with mixed results). Shortfuse is TheScrappy due to his annoying insistence of saying his [[AsYouKnow backstory everytime he appeared]], and there was already a train of thought in the fandom that Amy and Tekno were "too" friendly. For the most part, ship-to-ship combat is subverted in the fandom. Even though WordOfGod is that Johnny Lightfoot likes Amy, Sonic/Amy fans don't care. This could because Amy's crush on Sonic was dialed down ''extremely'' to almost nonexistent extents (bar CharacterizationMarchesOn) and [[spoiler:the fct Johnny was KilledOffForReal.]]

* During the time when [[Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] was trying to decide between Mina and Sally, there were flame wars over which was better for him. Things died down a bit when Mina got her own boyfriend and Sonic and Sally got engaged. (Of course, then they went and broke the engagement off...) The fact that Sally was going through her {{Chickification}} didn't help, and resulted in numerous ''hate pages'' dedicated to what a horrible bitch she was while Mina was clearly the only girl for Sonic. The shipping wars resulted in the Sonic/Sally pairing being discontinued after the comic went through its reboot... and Mina to be {{Retgone}} as well.

\n* ''Franchise/ArchieComics'' lives on this trope, featuring quite possibly the [[BettyAndVeronica most well-known love triangle]] in American pop-culture. Archie/Betty versus Archie/Veronica are the main debate and it frequently gets milked by the comic itself. Most fans lean towards Betty but Veronica has her fans too. Occasionally Archie's ([[ChickMagnet many]]) {{Third Option Love Interest}}s, such as Cheryl and Valerie, get dragged into the arguments. On the non-canon route, Jughead/Betty and Reggie/Betty are two common couples ([[ShipMates especially with Archie/Veronica fans]]) and is tossed into the issue. Even Archie/Jughead and Betty/Veronica sometimes get debated. ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' brought the ship-to-ship combat to a new level, and it has subsequently leaked into the comic fandom.

** But, for a more even footed warground, try Spidey/MJ vs Spidey/Gwen. Usually, Spidey/Gwen is spared by the others due to her death, but the Spidey/Gwen fans seem to just plain hate Spidey/MJ for happening, since its been cited as the (unconfirmed) reason for Gwen's death. Apparently, that Gwen was becoming boring to the writers and that the suits in charge wanted a major death isn't usually taken into consideration, and some cite OMD as something that needed to happen. However, some MJ/Spidey fans seem to be rather unsympathetic towards the death of Gwen, or will try to rationalize it as ''a good thing'', either because it kickstarted the bronze age, it allowed Marvel to step away from bright eyed idealistic stories, or that Gwen was getting boring.

* The ship-to-ship combat between ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and Jean Gray is the stuff of legend. Even to ''this day'' the combat between Scott/Jean, Logan/Jean, and [[HoYay Scott/Logan]] can be vicious and brutal, no doubt fueled by X-Films series in the early 2000s. What makes this shipping war particularly unique is that it's actually spilled over ''in universe'', with Logan and Scott frequently trolling one another over their mutual affections for Jean.

** To a lesser extent, Knuckles and Julie-Su were going well in their relationship, and then Rouge came along to make it a love triangle. The fandom are pretty spilt on who makes a better girlfriend for the red echidna. Unfortunately, poor Julie-Su was banished to another world by the Tasmanian Devil Thrash and then both of them were {{Retgone}} less than 20 stories later...

* There's also Franchise/{{Batman}}[=/=]Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} vs. Franchise/{{Batman}}[=/=]Franchise/WonderWoman. While they don't have the above ArmedWithCanon combat among those RunningTheAsylum, this is more than made up for by the fact that Batman/Wonder Woman has far more support from the DCAU than the main DC comicsverse, and so the combat is fraught with a degree of AlternateCharacterInterpretation unseen by say, the Superman/Wonder Woman ship, which has no canon support and whose fans are considered irrelevant at best, Harmonians at worst.
** Funnily enough, Superman/Wonder Woman is currently (or will be) canon in the DCnU.

* {{Franchise/{{Superman}} and Lois Lane are a watershed fictional couple in popular culture, so in-and-of-itself, turning back
the Superman/Wonder Woman ship, which has no canon support clock so they were just friends drew some ire, but then pairing him with WonderWoman it hit a certain BerserkButton for many fans.
** Before that, there was a component of fandom who seemed to prefer Lana as Superman's love interest, though it seems to have been localized into FanFic. Except that ''Man of Steel'' (the comic,not the movie) mastermind JohnByrne actually said he wished he could have had Superman
and whose fans are considered irrelevant at best, Harmonians at worst.

Lana end up together.

*** Now, neither side is helped by the fact StanLee has stated he envisioned Gwen Stacy as Spidey's true love, then he goes and has Spidey and MJ get married in his personal comic strip, or how he showed support for JoeQuesada breaking up the couple, only to then put the two back together in his aforementioned comic strip. The guy likes trolling the fans, don't he?
**** StanLee is pretty much the UrExample of a RealLife {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. Taking what he says at face value is simply asking to get burned.

** But, for a more even footed warground, try Spidey/MJ vs Spidey/Gwen. Usually, Spidey/Gwen is spared by the others due to her death, but the Spidey/Gwen fans seem to just plain hate Spidey/MJ for happening, since its been cited as the (unconfirmed) reason for Gwen's death. Apparantly, that Gwen was becoming boring to the writers and that the suits in charge wanted a major death isn't usually taken into consideration, and some cite OMD as something that needed to happen. However, some MJ/Spidey fans seem to be rather unsympathetic towards the death of Gwen, or will try to rationalize it as ''a good thing'', either because it kickstarted the bronze age, it allowed Marvel to step away from bright eyed idealistic stories, or that Gwen was getting boring.

Added DiffLines:

* During the time when [[Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] was trying to decide between Mina and Sally, there were flame wars over which was better for him. Things died down a bit when Mina got her own boyfriend and Sonic and Sally got engaged. (Of course, then they went and broke the engagement off...) The fact that Sally was going through her {{Chickification}} didn't help, and resulted in numerous ''hate pages'' dedicated to what a horrible bitch she was while Mina was clearly the only girl for Sonic.
** The British counterpart, ''SonicTheComic'', has some mild ship-to-ship combat. It mostly centers around Tekno's and Amy's RomanticTwoGirlFriendship, and TheScrappy Shortfuse. WordOfGod is Tekno and Shortfuse have a "thing" for each other, though it wasn't shown much in the comics (the [[SonicTheComicOnline fan-continuation]] tries to make up for it with mixed results). Shortfuse is TheScrappy due to his annoying insistence of saying [[AsYouKnow backstory everytime he appeared]], and there was already a train of thought in the fandom that Amy and Tekno were "too" friendly.
* ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}[=/=]{{Nightwing}} vs. [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Starfire]]/Nightwing. That's all. Really not helped by the writers who go RunningTheAsylum and favoring their own pet pairing while derailing the other. (in example, there's Devin Grayson's ''canon'' DFOS against Kory to favor Babs.)
** There's still a Terra/Beast Boy vs Raven/Beast Boy war, that was first fueled mainly by Terra 2 and the fans of the cartoon who came to enjoy the comics. Terra 2 was later killed off as cannon fodder in an event, but the wars continued when DC brought out a ''third'' version of the character (albeit one not very connected to Beast Boy or the Titans). The second and third Terras have since been erased by the New52 reboot, in which only the first one now exists as an active character. As she's partnered off with Beast Boy, ship wars have started anew.
* There's also {{Batman}}[=/=]Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} vs. {{Batman}}[=/=]WonderWoman. While they don't have the above ArmedWithCanon combat among those RunningTheAsylum, this is more than made up for by the fact that Batman/Wonder Woman has far more support from the DCAU than the main DC comicsverse, and so the combat is frought with a degree of AlternateCharacterInterpretation unseen by say, the Superman/Wonder Woman ship, which has no canon support and whose fans are considered irrelevant at best, Harmonians at worst.
** Funnily enough, Superman/Wonder Woman is currently (or will be) canon in the DCnU.
* Carlie Cooper is ''not'' popular with supporters of the [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-Man]]/Mary Jane pairing. It seems to go only one way, though, since Carlie doesn't have as established a fanbase yet.
** But, for a more even footed warground, try Spidey/MJ vs Spidey/Gwen. Usually, Spidey/Gwen is spared by the others due to her death, but the Spidey/Gwen fans seem to just plain hate Spidey/MJ for happening, since its been cited as the (unconfirmed) reason for Gwen's death.

However, some MJ/Spidey fans seem to be rather unsympathetic towards the death of Gwen, or will try to rationalize it as ''a good thing'', either because it kickstarted the bronze age, it allowed Marvel to step away from bright eyed idealistic stories, or that Gwen was getting boring.
** Don't forget Spidey/MJ Vs. Spidey/Black Cat either.
