10 Grossest Comic Book Relationships You Won't Believe Exist

5. Captain America And Sharon Carter

There are continuities where this couple isn't totally awfully - namely, ones where they've retconned Sharon being the great-niece of Captain America's initial love interest, because otherwise, it is so wrong on so many levels.

Peggy and Sharon were initially written as sisters, which – although not suitable for the time scale of Captain America – was a little weird, because at the very least that way Captain America wasn’t dating Peggy’s descendants. But, in order to have Sharon be roughly the same age as Steve, changes were made so she was instead Peggy’s great-niece. Although there’s nothing wrong with Captain America wanting to date someone his age - especially a stole cold badass like Agent 13 - there is something a little unsettling about the fact she’s basically the grandchild of someone he dated.

It’s not Steve’s fault that being frozen in ice for decades made the dating game weird for him, but the complications do make this relationship a little bit strange.
