10 Best Spider-Man Romances

Beginning as a blind date Peter actively tried to avoid, MJ has become the name most synonymous with the love-life of Spider-Man. It stands to reason that she should be number one right? There are certainly enough reasons to make the case, but his greatest love? Not quite.

Mary Jane and Peter have been through the emotional washing machine in terms of comic book relationships, beginning with standard peril to having their whole marriage wiped from existence, allowing the Marvel equivalent of the Devil to feed on the misery.

Yes, it's as naff as it sounds. One thing that has remained consistent however is the strife caused by MJ regularly deciding the emotional stress of loving both the Spider and the man was too much to handle.

It's this constant flip flopping that takes away from MJ's character. Peter lives his life by a strict code of responsibility to use his gifts for good, one MJ has been fully aware of since Peter took the massive step of revealing all to her. Nobody is doubting how incredibly draining it must be to get captured constantly and clean war wounds out of clothing, but make a choice and stick to it MJ!
