10 Grossest Comic Book Relationships You Won't Believe Exist

Although not a full-on relationship, the fact that supposed-hero, Ambush Bug, routinely convinces Starfire to pose for cheesecake-esque panels and take 'pictures' for him in the older comics is pretty damn creepy. It’s heavily implied that Starfire has no idea that the whole situation is anything less than innocent – largely because she’s an alien with zero concept of earth stuff.

The idea of a good guy taking advantage of anyone is gross enough, but it’s also worth keeping in mind Starfire was also characterised as younger back then. Not a child, by any means, but her Teen Titans’ characterisation did appear - and act - much younger than that of her more adult, hardier self in Red Hood and The Outlaws.

Given Ambush Bug is basically DC’s answer to Deadpool, it seems super strange that they would also show him to be sketchy as hell. That said, it’s also definitely no longer canon, so you have to give the Bug a bit of a break.
