For we simple mortals , Romance language can be tough ; after all , sexual love is , as Pat Benetar once so melodiously pointed out , a battlefield . But some comic book characters come prepared for this form of war . Here’re 10 deterrent example to read from .
Five man , five women – All of whom have the major power of love , and not in a Huey Lewis and the News sense . laughable characters have have particular love powers since the other sidereal day of the medium , but the portrayal of what that means has transfer as the audience has get old , more cynical and read a lot more mind control fetish account on the internet . Whither the ingenuousness of comics ’ youth ? Well , that ’s still around , as well …
Venus
A former Siren whose vocal led sailors of yore to their decease , Marvel Comics ’ Venus has since gained a soul and a superteam : the Agents of Atlas . Her representative put up various levels of mind control , let in the ability to make anyone go down in love with her … which comes in ready to hand when trying to stay secure during A-one - battle , given the Agents ’ recent X - Men Vs . Agents of Atlas and Avengers Vs . agent of Atlas series .
Will she leave you ensorcelled , Bothered or Bewildered ? More than likely , enchant . Venus uses her magnate for good , despite that whole “ soulless sailor slaughter ” past affair . Which she really does feel guilty about .
Longshot
A genetically engineered hard worker created with the determination of rebel against his owners , Longshot escaped to Earth without memory or ego - knowledge , only to discover two things about himself . Firstly , he was very , very golden . Secondly , every char he met fell in love with him ; when he joined Marvel ’s tenner - piece , he care to spur catfights between Rogue and Dazzler as to who want him more , much to the eager enjoyment of the hormonal teenager register the series at the time .
Will he leave you Bewitched , Bothered or Bewildered ? Somewhere between the first and last : You ’ll be charmed and taken with , but wo n’t inevitably know why . Me , I think that tight leather outfit is to blame .
Starfox
Onetime member of Marvel Comics ’ Avengers , Eros is actually one of the Eternals , a genetically - superscript offshoot of humanity – which might explain that hair’s-breadth . His power is to check the emotion of others , an ability that lead to his being sue for sexual violation before his powers were cosmically shut off to ensure they could never be abused again . No , really ; that last part all happened in 2006 ’s She - Hulk series .
Will he leave you Bewitched , Bothered or Bewildered ? He was accuse of sexual violation . I think “ bothered ” would be arrange it gently .
Prince Charming
allegory ’ dear - pull up stakes imperial blackguard could n’t serve seducing everyone that came his way ; it ’s what he was created for , literally . But the X - husband of Cinderella , Snow White and Sleeping Beauty certainly used his talents to his advantage , get sure that he did n’t have to pay for anything or go without fellowship for hundred before deciding to go into the one life history his brand of insincere heart is perfectly suited for : government .
Will he go away you ensorcelled , Bothered or Bewildered ? At the fourth dimension , charm , but before too farsighted , bewildered .
Spider - Woman
Quite why Marvel Comics ’ genetically - mastermind super - undercover agent was given the ability to generate pheremones alongside all her arachnid - touch on powers back in the seventies , I ’m not quite certain , but it certainly explains her popularity with author Brian Michael Bendis , who raise the character and placed her in two Avengers team , as well as writing two series for her .
Will she impart you Bewitched , Bothered or Bewildered ? Definitely bewitched , and potentially discommode . In a sexy way .
Lorelei
A thorn in the side of the original X - Men , Lorelei is ready for a post - forward-looking reboot : A villainess who can mesmerise man – and only men , ostensibly , because Marvel Girl was left clear unimpressed – with her voice , but always appears in subservient roles to manly supervillains . Come on , people : Surely someone can conceive of a unexampled twirl on her ?
Will she leave you Bewitched , Bothered or Bewildered ? Ultimately dumbfound about why she does n’t go unaccompanied and halt wasting her time with losers like Magneto . He ’s only going to break your heart , Lor !
Poison Ivy
DC Comics villain Dr. Pamela Isley is everything you could ever require in a woman : Smart , sexy , a scientist , environmentally aware and a aureate power shovel with unripe hide . Okay , maybe not that last one , but Poison Ivy mix chemical dependence with feminine shenanigan to get what she wants , much to Batman ’s humiliation .
Will she leave behind you Bewitched , Bothered or Bewildered ? Definitely bothered , when you see how much scathe she ’s done to your credit card . And the amount of plant life she ’s made you buy for your apartment .
Enchantress
The clue is moderately much decent there in the name of Marvel Comics ’ Thor character , is n’t it ? Amora , one of Thor ’s fellow Norse Gods , is a wizard who learned her magic through seducing Asgard ’s most celebrated necromancer , and then used that magic to … well , make even more powerful public figure in an endeavor to become the power behind any and every crapper that would have her . It ’s like a vicious cycle of seduction one - upmanship .
Will she provide you ensorcelled , Bothered or Bewildered ? Literally bewitch , if she ’s got any say on the subject .
Daken / Dark Wolverine
Add Wolverine ’s son to my Spider - Woman confusion , but moreso : Why does Wolverine ’s Word have pheromone producing powers and can resist telepathy in summation to all his Wolverine powers ? I have no idea , but the novelty value of having such a slutty manly character in so many eminent - profile Marvel comics for a change make it much easier to forgive .
Will he leave you Bewitched , Bothered or Bewildered ? lease ’s go with “ bewildered , ” if only because I ’m still unsure what the use of teenage mohawked Wolverteen really is .
Purple Man
For a character who came from avowedly goofy beginnings , Marvel Comics villain the Purple Man has become a much more distressing character . Again using pheromone as an explanation for his mind control power , he exit from traditional supervillain battles to keeping Jessica Jones as a sexuality striver for month in the early-2000s series Alias . Subsequent appearing have scaled back this side , but nonetheless , he stay a distressful poster boy for the dark side of superpowered love .
Will she leave you ensorcelled , Bothered or Bewildered ? “ trouble ” would be being polite .
