10 Best Superhero Friendships You Never Knew Existed

10. Cyborg And Shazam

While Cyborg isn't the most brooding member of the DC's hero roster by a significant margin, he can also be a pretty serious guy. Getting half your body replaced with electronics tends to do that to a guy. Shazam, on the other hand, is the superhero equivalent of a kid on pixie sticks - so it'd be fair to assume that the pair just don't mesh.

But, as is shown in Vic's friendship with the more light-hearted Beast Boy, he's capable of chilling out and having fun every once in a while. As such, it's perhaps not all that surprising that the 2011 Justice League series sees the pair bond over a true game of champions - table tennis. While Cyborg doesn't exactly seem stoked that Shazam has used his insane powers to net the Justice League a table tennis set, he also seems to get that this is just how the hero is, and appears content to engage in a bout of super-powered ping pong.

It's a shame we don't see the pair interact more, really, as Shazam is perhaps at his most interesting when interacting with heroes closer to his real age as Billy Batson.
