I agree with Zeal that the Purity Sue girls are overdone, especially as love interests. There's a very important distinction between liking a character and wanting to know them as a person. I think sometimes writers forget that it's okay if some or even most of your fanbase wouldn't want to date your romance interest themselves; it's your protagonist whose opinion matters most.

That honestly depends on how much escapist fantasy your story is. For example, it's important that readers like the person Spider-man marries but not so much Jesse Custer.

I suppose. I never really got into the escapist side of superheroes; I can't really say one way or the other on that.
