Superman, Supergirl

Hold your breath, because this will blow your mind: there’s not a comic book in existence where Supergirl and Superman are a couple. But wait, there’s a hidden secret that’ll leave you on the edge of your seat, buried in the pages of some stories, their connection takes a daring turn into the unknown realm of romantic tension.

Their destinies teeter on the brink, a tantalizing dance of emotions that could change everything. Just imagine, in the shadows of those pages…

– In **Superman’s Super-Courtship!**⁵, Supergirl tries to find a suitable mate for Superman by taking him to different times and places, but none of them work out. Superman then reveals that he would marry Supergirl if it were not for the Kryptonian law that forbids cousin marriage. Supergirl finds a woman who looks like her on another planet, but she and Superman cannot live together because of their different atmospheres.

– In **The Dark Knight Strikes Again**, an alternate future story by Frank Miller, Superman and Wonder Woman have a daughter named Lara, who has a crush on Supergirl. Supergirl kisses Lara to make her feel better after a fight with her parents, and then flies away with her.


– In **Superman/Batman #13**, Supergirl is possessed by the Black Kryptonite, which splits her into two versions of herself: one good and one evil. The evil Supergirl seduces Superman and tries to kill him, but the good Supergirl stops her and restores herself to normal.


– In **Superman: Red Son**, an alternate reality story where Superman lands in Soviet Russia instead of America, he has a brief affair with Wonder Woman, but breaks up with her when he realizes that he loves Lois Lane, who is married to Lex Luthor. Wonder Woman then becomes friends with Supergirl, who is a Soviet spy sent to infiltrate the Justice League. They share a kiss before Supergirl sacrifices herself to stop Brainiac’s invasion.

These are some of the examples of the strange and unusual romances that have happened in the pages of Superman comics.

These stories are official, meaning they were published by DC Comics, the company that owns the rights to Superman and Supergirl. However, they aren’t part of the main continuity of the DC Universe, the shared fictional world where most of the stories occur.

They fall under the categories of elseworlds or non-canon, exploring different scenarios or outcomes not considered true in the main timeline. For instance, Superman: Red Son envisions Superman raised in the Soviet Union, not America.

The Dark Knight Strikes Again, a non-canon sequel to Frank Miller’s classic The Dark Knight Returns, offers a darker, older Batman. These tales are creative, experimental, sometimes controversial, yet they don’t impact the main characters’ status quo.

As we close this chapter, it’s evident that the Superman comics have ventured beyond the realm of traditional superhero narratives, delving into the complexities of the heart.

The pages may not always follow conventional paths, but they offer a kaleidoscope of emotions that keep readers spellbound, craving for more tales of love, bravery, and undying hope. So, dear reader, keep flipping those pages and let your imagination take flight alongside these iconic characters. 📖✨🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️
