Hawkman and Hawkgirl were married in various continuities, including the original.
I don’t think Sue Storm has ever had her own solo ongoing series, because – well, where do you go with that? “She’s really sensible. Uh, even in emergencies, when she’s the one who pointedly doesn’t fly off the handle. Doesn’t bother with a secret identity, but can easily avoid being noticed in public. And, like the man said, she’s not really a dedicated crimefighter: if she comes across a problem, she’ll solve it – but she’s not much for going out on looking-for-trouble patrol or whatever.”
My favorite member of the FF, but – what was it that Mark Twain said about the calm confidence of a Christian with four aces? Well, whatever it was, it sure as heck wasn’t “gosh, that makes for an intriguing lead character in an ongoing series.”

Tigra/The Cat was widowed when we first met her. Shanna has been married and had a solo series, but never at the same time. Hellcat has had three series (Five if you count PATSY WALKER and PATSY AND HEDY), but was only married during one of them, IIRC, the one where she had a black costume. Was Silver Sable married to the Foreigner when she had a series, or do we count “…and the Six Pack” as a team book?
Wonder Woman DID marry Steve Trevor – in the very last episode of the first “volume” of Wonder Woman in 1986. Of course, that ended that continuity, so we never did get to see how a married Wonder Woman would have played out. When they rebooted her, she was unmarried.
If we grandfather in the 40s Timely titles, both Miss America and Blonde Phantom were retroactively shown to be married, but this was not evident in their solo titles as they were being published.
Donna Troy is another one who has had a solo series (She was Wonder Woman very briefly in the Aughts) and was married (to Terry Long, back in the 80s), just not at the same time.
Jennifer Blood comes close to meeting the OP’s criteria. Published by Dynamite, not Marvel or DC, but written by Garth Ennis, who probably could have gotten it published at one of the Big Two. She was a headliner, though her heroic creds are debatable (moreso after Ennis left the title).
Ma Hunkel. the original Red Tornado, was certainly married. Not sure if she was the central character of any of the “Scribbly” stories she appeared in, though.
Black Widow has had several solo series. She’s estranged from her Russian husband, but I’m not sure they ever got divorced…

Pretty girl goes for captain of the football team, settles for class clown. It’s an old story. It does make sense from a certain perspective though. Both DD and BB are on the lower end of the “power spectrum” and found each other as kindred spirits. She even says to him at one point something along the lines of “If we applied today (for Legion membership) , neither one of us would get in.”
Animal Man has been married for as long as I’ve been aware of him, like whenever Grant Morrison started writing him (1988).
Bleah. I think we all could have gotten along just fine without remembering that that ever happened. :mad:;)![]()
They had their own series together (long-form miniseries) as a couple in the 80s, but her solo titles (I believe she had a short one in the late 90s and one that just ended) were both post Vision destruction/end of marriage.
Tom Strong was married in his title, maybe because the whole point was that he was supposed to be an established hero with decades of implied continuity – you know, forever referring to past adventures and enemies still holding a grudge after all these years and so on – and, well, I figure the easiest way to do that was to portray the crimefighter as a greying-at-the-temples husband-and-father type.
(Also made for a better contrast when they’d cut to an Ah-I-Remember-It-Well scene where he was young and unmarried and facing a masked villain back when.)
In Jessica Jones’s latest run, she’s married to Luke Cage.
ETA: Must’ve missed this response earlier in the thread.
D’oh, I misread the OP. I didn’t say that it specifies a superheroine.
Of course, part of the issue there is that the women are less likely to get their own series in the first place.
