User blog:ARTaylor/February 2015 Poll Results

January is upon us and the February poll results are in. We asked what your favorite married couple is.

1. The winner was never contested. With 75% of the votes the winner was Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. The couple originally married in 1987, which was adapted into the Spider-Man episode "The Wedding". The two have been in one of the most memorable and one of the more longer lasting marriages. The recent eraser of the marriage in the comics is one of the most controversial and hated stories in comics, and Spider-Man has had more than his fair share of those. Regardless, the two have ranked among the most loved couples in any media.
2. Distant second, with 10% of the votes, is Reed Richards and Susan Storm. The two married in 1965 and have stayed together, being one of the longest running marriages in comics. They've had their ups and downs, but they have stayed together through thick and thin. While the exact wedding was never shown, the two were married for the entire run of Fantastic Four and have been together in almost every adaptation.
3. Tied for third with 5% each was Scott Summers and Jean Grey, Medusa and Black Bolt, and Bruce Banner and Betty Ross. Scott and Jean were married twice on X-Men, first on "Till Death Do Us Part, Part One" and "The End of Time". While the two have been a long-time couple, they were married in 1994, after he already had married her clone, and stayed together until her (so far) final death. Medusa and Black Bolt have long been married, having been revealed to be married in 1965, adapted in the episode "Beware the Hidden Land". Bruce and Betty were married in 1986, remaining together only briefly. They were married in The Incredible Hulk episode "Darkness and Light, Part Three".
4. Getting no love was Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne. The two have had one of the rockiest relationships in comic book history. The two married in 1968, but due to various reasons have separated and reconnected in the decades since. They were happily married in The Avengers: United They Stand but their troubled marriage was shown in Ultimate Avengers.
