5 Superheroes With Consistently Bizarre Sex Lives In Comics

Clearly, Matt's experience with Elektra in college shaped his taste in women. Next up is Karen Page, Matt's secretary/recurring boner-bouncer, whose father turns out to be a crazy supervillain called Death's Head. Death's Head promptly becomes Death's Everything (he dies), and because he's got a dead-dad fetish, Matt chooses that moment to reveal his identity to Karen.

They break up, she becomes a heroin addict, and finds out she has AIDS. The good news: It's a false positive! The bad news: She gets murdered anyway ... by the same guy who killed Elektra.

After Karen, Matt hooks up with a girl called Heather Glenn. Once again, as soon as her dad kills himself, Matt reveals his identity to her ...

... and, once again, she becomes an addict (booze this time) and dies.

And, oh dear Jesus, we're not even done yet. Glorianna O'Breen (she's Italian, yes) is a woman Daredevil meets while she's being chased by the IRA member who killed her dad. We don't even have to tell you that Matt taps that. She gets thrown out of a window and figures out Matt is Daredevil as she's falling to her death:

And, finally, we have Maya Lopez (an Avenger called Echo or Ronin). Her father is also dead -- in fact, she thinks Daredevil killed him. You know what, at this point, we're not totally discounting it.

Of course, she forgives Daredevil when she finds out he's Matt ... and, of course, she ends up getting murdered.

Twice.

Meanwhile, Dick's girlfriend just victim-blames him. She's been more understanding in other situations, though -- perhaps too understanding. In another issue, Nightwing's teammate Raven loses control of her emotion-based powers and forces him to make out with her. When he realizes what happened, Dick is appalled ... but Starfire thinks it's hilarious and teams up with Raven to play a little "joke" on him:

Look how terrified he is! That's because women have been forcing themselves on him since he was a little boy. Dick's first "girlfriend" is actually a fellow kid sidekick who kisses him against his will over and over until she basically gaslights him into thinking they're dating. Dick then loses his virginity at 16 to a statutory rapist who is just manipulating him to steal Bruce Wayne's money:

Even the Batman cartoon universe has this trope. An issue of the official Batman: The Animated Series spinoff comic shows Poison Ivy, the classic villain/occasional antihero, turning Robin into her love slave ...

... which leads to this gag:

Batman gives him a creepy "that's my boy" smile when Dick tells him what happened. He's like 15 at most. Now we're glad Christopher Nolan kept Robin out (for the most part) of the Dark Knight trilogy -- this shit is too dark for those movies.

Later on, Wonder Man is killed while fighting aliens, but Wanda goes, "Nu-uh, not done with that tushie yet" and brings him back to life again so the two can be together. (Hopefully she at least gave the guy a couple of minutes to "recover.") After going a good while without losing her mind or killing/unkilling anyone, she has a bit of a relapse in Avengers Disassembled: She blows up The Avengers' headquarters and murders several teammates, including her ex-husband, Vision.

Naturally, the next thing she does is reshape the world into a "happy" reality where she and Vision are still married and just had twins ... so, presumably, freaky robot sex happened at some point.

Another of her victims during Disassembled is Hawkeye, whose bow and arrow are shockingly ineffective against a practically omnipotent, reality-bending witch. He dies, but Wanda ends up bringing him back to life while changing the world back and forth. Since even the characters themselves find all this crap confusing, Hawkeye later travels the world to find the missing Wanda so he can ask her why they hell she killed him. She doesn't really remember, so they bone instead.

Now, the writers apparently felt this was a bit too much for even Scarlet Witch to swallow, so they later revealed that Wanda had been replaced with a robot duplicate at some point. In other words, there's a chance Hawkeye put his dong in a toaster, basically.

Holy shit, what's with The Avengers and fucking robots?

But here's the thing: When the clones re-merge, the original Madrox receives all their memories and knowledge, but he has a hard time separating who's done what to whom -- he just remembers doing ALL of it to EVERYONE. Leaving aside the fact that the straight Madrox presumably has a lot more gay sex in his memory than he'd prefer to, this can lead to some complicated situations. For instance, Madrox and a clone have sex with two different teammates on the same night, getting one of them pregnant. So, who's the father? Madrox or Madrox?

Madrox couldn't exactly ask the mother, "Hey, did I seem particularly clone-ish that night?" because then she'd know he was fooling around on her without even leaving their bed. Oh, but don't worry: He finds out for sure when the baby is born and he emotionally holds it in his arms for the first time ... and proceeds to absorb it into his body.

Yep, the clone is the dad, so Madrox "merges" with the kid upon touching it. Needless to say, the mother isn't pleased, though at least Madrox gains the memory of going through her vagina one last time.

See, Wonder Woman was created by a man named William Marston, who in addition to being a comic writer was also a psychologist and bondage enthusiast. The result was a comic book where the heroic protagonist doesn't beat her opponents into submission so much as tie them up or get tied up herself, or spanked, or any number of other fetish indulgences that don't really have anything to do with fighting Nazis (the main job of superheroes back then).

When she isn't embarking on Fifty Shades Of Grey: Ancient Greece Edition romps with war criminals, Wonder Woman often partakes in bizarre bondage rituals back home on Paradise Island. For example, one particularly notorious story revolves around "Diana's Day," which is basically BDSM Christmas. One Amazon, disguised as the Greek goddess Diana, goes around giving gifts, and other Amazons try to overpower her -- the winner gets to cosplay as Diana next year, while the losers get dressed up as wild game, tied up together, and put in a fake pie overnight. As you might guess, the story's moral is about safe and responsible bondage etiquette, because a comic aimed at kids is totally the appropriate forum for that.

Whenever she does fight supervillains, half the time she doesn't even surrender them to the proper authorities: She either drags them back to Lesbian Utopia Island for bondage rehabilitation or just brainwashes them into not being dicks anymore. For all the jokes that can be made today about Wonder Woman's costume basically just being a swimming suit with gold trim, at least the stories no longer read like something you'd find hidden in your creepy uncle's closet.

Which Sci-Fi Trope Would You Bring To The Real World, And Why? Every summer we're treated to the same buffet of three or four science fiction movies with the same basic conceits. There's man vs. aliens, man vs. robots, man vs. army of clones and man vs. complicated time travel rules. With virtual reality and self-driving cars fast approaching, it's time to consider what type of sci-fi movie we want to be living in for the rest of our lives. Co-hosts Jack O'Brien and Adam Tod Brown are joined by Cracked's Tom Reimann and Josh Sargent along with comedians David Huntsberger, Caitlin Gill, and Lizzy Cooperman to figure out which sci-fi trope would be the best to make a reality.
