ROTTEN TOMATOES: Total Recall: The 10 Best Superhero Hookups

Total Recall: The 10 Best Superhero Hookups

Because caped crusaders need love, too.

No doubt Hellboy and Liz Sherman turn heads while playing frolf at the park, or at IKEA when looking for mid-priced dressers. Superheroes may be unusual, but, hey, even the unusual need relationships. And these two have picked the best summer for their blockbuster love: between the rekindled senior romance of Indy and Marion, the sight of Israeli and Palestinian stylists knocking combs, and the sweet purity of Wall-E and EVE, it's been a long season of unusual relationships. Perfect for superheroes in love. In tribute to Hellboy II: The Golden Army, here's Rotten Tomatoes' list of the most memorable superhero hookups done in Movieopolis.

Warning: NSFW -- language.

10. Bluntman and Chronic
As seen in: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

Like their "real-life" counterparts Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith), these superhero buddies live by their own version of the force: a shared love for Mary Jane. Wielding their bluntsabers side by side, Bluntman and his loyal sidekick Chronic spring from the pages of Banky and Holden's comic in Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy, then get the Hollywood treatment in their film-within-a-film in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. With A-list schmucks Jason Biggs and James Van Der Beek set to ruin the duo's good name, Jay and Silent Bob arrive just in time to film a pivotal fight against the evil Cocknocker (Mark Hamill) with a cry of "Snootchie bootchies!" Just remember, they're not gay; they're (super) hetero life partners. Man love can be a beautiful thing.

more info...	9. Green Ranger and Pink Ranger As seen in: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) The kids who didn't have MTV were a desperate lot. Unable to quote neither Beavis nor Butthead during school lunch, they would take up any passing interest -- pogs, video games, even those Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. But amidst the cheesy costumes and dollar-store pyrotechnics was the show's consistent romance between Tommy, the Green Ranger, and Kimberley, the Pink Ranger. For afternoon programming, the back-and-forth between the two was unusually compelling. (One episode commercial even teased the idea of marriage. Wild!) And in 1995, the two were lifted, along with the other Rangers, into a big-budget, effects-laden theatrical movie. Uh, not that I was there opening day or anything.

There's nothing wrong with having seen the first Power Rangers movie on opening day. Heck, even Roger Ebert loved it - and he was a lot tougher on flicks back then [I still haven't been able to figure out how he could enjoy "Hancock," for instance...].

Yeah, that was a huge shock in Hancock, the part that was partially spoiled here. I'm glad I saw the movie before I read this, but I doubt everyone else has. Jen, you tell those guys to tow the line a little closer next time.

Ehh Batman and Catwoman, I was so dissapointed with Batman Returns it focused to much on the villians. I hated Daredevil and the Elektra hook up that ruiened the movie, it became DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Dare Devil & Elektra (thats why the director's cut is better, it cut out alot of Elektra and focused more on DD). I hated F4, those to were so hollow as Mr. Fantastic and Mrs. Fantastic. I say make a list of top superheros and villains in movies!
1-Batman (BALE)
2-Wolverine
3-Spiderman (yes the 3rd one was bad)
4-Iron Man
5-Superman (hollow character)

Villans (im sure Heath ledger will be #1 in my book next friday)
1-Cillian Murphy (scarecrow)
2-Jack Nicholson (joker)
3-Alfred Molina (Doc Oc)
4-Jeff Bridges (Obodiah Stane)
5-Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor)

I'd like to point out that there was no Green Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Tommy Oliver(Jason David Frank), the Green Ranger, lost his powers and had already been transformed into the White Ranger by the time the movie was released. He then went on to play the Red Ranger in two later series incarnations, Power Rangers: Turbo(Including the big screen version Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie) and Power Rangers: Zeo. And I saw both movies opening day. I used to be a HUGE fan. And to really bring it home, I had Power Ranger pogs. Haha!

I'd also like to point out that Power Rangers is geared towards kids who are too young to watch MTV. Trust me, we werent watching because there was nothing else to watch. It was THE SHOW to watch. I mean, its STILL on. It has a new cast, new costumes, new powers, new zords every year. I don't watch it anymore, I'm 25, but this article makes it seem as if Power Rangers was some embarassing flash in the pan, when in fact, it's one of the longest running and most successful kids shows ever. Sure, its cheesy, but so are most kids shows. How about a little respect?

Amy Jo Johnson, the Pink Ranger..........what a babe.

And yes, I know my nerd is showing. :)

Number 10 kills the list before it even has a chance to earn credibility.

When you make any "Best" list that includes the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, it's a good indicator that the field isn't large enough to justify a "Best" list.

In the extreme, I can envision a category like "Best super-intelligent baby movies" containing both "Baby Genius" movies and nothing else, but would it be worth anything?

No, you'll just be the only one to figure it out who wasn't already spoiled from the ads.

AmericanEagleJRL, I am impressed by your vast knowledge of Power Rangers lore.

jacog, heck yes Bluntman and Chronic count! Those are two superheroes that obviously love each other. Just not in that way.

No part of Daredevil deserves to be mentioned in any "best" list.
