Every MCU Romance Ranked From Worst To Best

The MCU's longest-standing romance, the story of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts is a legendary one, and a relationship that has developed and grown over the past decade.

Starting out as Tony's long-suffering assistant, Pepper's budding love for her boss intensified after every near-death experience he endured and it was only when she refused to take it anymore that he finally let her in. That right there is what makes the dynamic between them so special: She was the only person who stood up to Tony and as a result, the only one who was ever really able to get through to him.

Their relationship was far from perfect but, in being so, it was highly authentic. They had their ups and their downs but, when all was said and done, they always had each other's backs. And even though it started off as nothing more than a typical superhero romance, it developed into deeply emotional story about two soulmates who always understood each other.

The chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow was evident since that first moment Pepper saw an injured Tony step off the plane and, even as their characters matured, it remained present throughout every single one of their appearances.

Two unique forces of nature who just couldn't have been with anyone else, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are endgame. They were always meant to be endgame.
