History StalkerWithACrush / ComicBooks

** When he died during ComicBook/{{Annihilation}}, they apparently had a thing going, and were happy. Then he got brought back to life, and was made unable to die.

* This is ComicBook/{{Thanos}}' relationship with [[TheGrimReaper Death]] -- she's his one true love, and he longs to die so he can be with her, but she couldn't seem to care less about him.

* TheWasp has at least one per canon universe. Janet got [[http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/435997.html David Cannon]] in the original canon, who became obsessed with her while posing as her chauffeur for what was ''originally'' just a theft plot, then expanded to include trying to kidnap her as well. Recent storylines indicate that he's not over this obsession, even after she's dead. She also got [[http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/432943.html Erik Josten]] in, of all places, the ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures''-verse, where he was an employee of her fathers's who tried to make it look like her friend/crush Hank Pym had up and disappeared in order to get close to her.

* Kathy Dare from ''IronMan''. She stalks him and later shoots him when he rejects her. At her trial she plays the victim and claims that Tony abused and stalked ''her'' (which, unfortunately, is also [[TruthInTelevision a tactic of some real-life stalkers]]).

* Cupid aka Carrie Hartnell for ''ComicBook/GreenArrow''. While not the sanest person in general (she killed her hairdresser after getting a perfect haircut so no-one else could ever have hair that good), she takes the crazy to new heights thanks to her obsession with Ollie. In an effort to win his love, she has been killing off the members of his RoguesGallery. She's done pretty well too; she even killed the superpowered crime boss Brick with a ''wrecking ball''. She also tried to get Ollie to kill his EvilCounterpart Merlyn, thinking that this would make him love her. When that failed due to Ollie following ThouShaltNotKill, she chained him to subway tracks and planned to die with him. While Green Arrow and BlackCanary were able to get out of this situation in one piece (Merlyn wasn't so lucky -- Cupid slit his throat as a distraction), Cupid hasn't given up yet.

* Mystique toward Iceman in "Kill Or Cure". After throwing him out oh his Blackbird, trying to poison him in hospital where he was recovering, and then causing a truck that he was hitchingin to crash, she stood on top of one of the Pylons on San Francisco's Bay Bridge with a bomb. When Iceman went up to try to talk her down, she begged him to join her in a suicide pact; instead he laughed at her and called her a loser. She did not take it well; "You'll see me one more time; I won't be wearing this face or body, but you WILL love me!" and threw herself off.

* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker feels this way about Franchise/{{Batman}}, according to FrankMiller. All of his crimes are part of his "game" to get the attention of The Dark Knight, who he calls "my sweet".

* ComicBook/TwoFace gets a sort of sick obsession with Renee Montoya after their experience in ''BatmanNoMansLand''. When he learns that she's actually gay in ''GothamCentral'', he just makes it another part of his plan to destroy her life so she has nothing left but him.

* Post-Flashpoint, {{Batman}} foe Mr. Freeze is reimagined as one of these. Victor Fries was hired by Wayne Industries to study a woman named Nora Fields who was one of the first people to ever be cryogenically frozen. Victor developed a twisted interest in her, deluding himself into thinking they were husband and wife. Bruce Wayne eventually shut down the project because he was becoming increasingly disturbed by Victor's unprofessional interest in Nora. Victor performed his own private illegal experiments anyway. When Bruce confronted him again, Victor lashed out causing the accident that turned him into Mr. Freeze. When Batman and Freeze face off in the present, Batman calls out Freeze on his delusional "love" for a woman he doesn't even know who is technically old enough to be his grandmother.

* Abraham Pointe in ''BrightestDay'' was obsessed with a casino waitress named Lisa and stalked her afar with a camera for two years, mistaking it for love. This could have ended ''very'' badly for Lisa. Fortunately (well, sort of), the Predator, the Entity of Love, mistook Abraham's insane crush for love as well and possessed him, which got the Star Sapphires and the Green Lanterns involved. Eventually Carol Ferris called out Abraham on his stalker behavior and said to his face that he never really loved Lisa -- he didn't know anything about her except for her first name. Abraham had a HeelRealization after understanding that he didn't really love Lisa, which gave Carol an opportunity to separate him from the Predator. You know a (non-existent) romance is messed up when an EldritchAbomination getting involved turns out to be a ''good'' thing.

* {{Superman}} has been stalked by various women, including Maxima, The Queen Of Fables, and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Obsession]].

* Marvel's ''TheMightyThor'' is no stranger to this either. He's been stalked at various times by Amora the Enchantress, her younger sister Lorelei, his niece Hela, and his former teammate Moondragon. Magic, mind control rape, and blackmail, oh my.

-->'''Deadpool:''' Once upon a time, watching over a girl in her sleep used to be romantic. Nowadays it's considered "stalking" and generally considered "Trespass".

* Lampshaded and spoofed in one of the early issue's of {{Deadpool}}'s first ongoing series, when he's looking over his not-entirely-unrequited crush Siryn (non-exact quote since I've not read the comic in years, corrections are appreciated):

* ''DeathOfTheFamily'': [[spoiler: Joker. Catwoman calls him out on it]].

** At least in Scott Snyder's part of the storyline, she doesn't even really not to. Not only does the Joker refer to Batman with romantic epithets, and not only is Batman unnerved when [[spoiler: he sees affection in the Joker's otherwise emotionless eyes]], but the Joker's campaign against the Bat-family has 'definite' romantic overtones, such as [[spoiler: forcing men in Batman and Joker outfits coupled together to dance for days]].

** Also in Scott Snyder's ''Death of the Family'' storyline, where the Joker is convinced that he'd make Batman a better hero if he kills Nightwing, Batgirl, and all the past and present Robins. Not only does the Joker refer to Batman with romantic epithets, and not only is Batman unnerved when he sees affection in the Joker's otherwise emotionless eyes, but the Joker's campaign against the Bat-family has 'definite' romantic overtones, such as forcing men in Batman and Joker outfits coupled together to dance for days.

* Lois Lane unfortunately often came across as this in a number of Golden Age, Silver Age and sometimes even Bronze Age era Superman comics.

* Brigitta [=MacBridge=] for [[DuckTales Scrooge McDuck]].
