Question prompted by Astro city comics, one issue of which had a superheroines’s boyfriend break up with her in a particularly unpleasant way. He was supposed to be the bad guy of the piece, but I thought he did the smart thing- What normal person could deal with all the drama?
Although my answer would be “It depends - not if she could squash me like a bug”, I just wanted to mention the movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend, which is about exactly this.
On the one hand, I might end up with superpowers myself. On the other hand, if I don’t (and maybe even if I do), I’m likely to end up cut up and stuffed in a refrigerator. So no.
(ETA: Less likely to end up in a fridge than if I was female, but still.)
Yeah, dating a superhero seems like a nice way to get hurt or killed.
On the other hand, Spider-Woman, Captain Marvel, Power Girl, Bat Girl. Yow! That’s some hot stuff there.
Meh. With my luck I would be a mid-level project manager in one of LexCorp’s research centers. You know, one of the ones first vaporized when the Omega Mechanism becomes sentient. I would never get near enough to a Heroine to date her.
I was thinking of that and Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. 
As it happens, the traits I’m attracted to, as found in superheroes, tend not to be found in the front-line sorts anyway. So I probably wouldn’t consider superpowers to be a point against a potential girlfriend.
Well, it depends on what her “super powers” are. . . if you know what I mean.
But, yeah I might.
Of course. I’ve always had a thing for the Scarlett Witch.
You hooking up with the Scarlet Witch?
What are the odds?
If Mrs Incredible is a Divorced Mom…I wouldn’t mind the kids.
That woman has talent.
I wouldn’t deliberately date a superheroine. But then, most of them have secret identities, yes? So it’s entirely possible that I could be blissfully unaware that I’m dating a superheroine, until she narrowly saves me from getting a car thrown at my head.
But yeah, given the fact that supervillains are known for targeting heroes’ loved ones, I wouldn’t want to be placed in that position.
Depends on whether her superpowers are . . . survivable. Wouldn’t wanna get into a “Woman of Steel, Man of Kleenex” situation.
If you lived in New York, I’d think your chances of dating a superhero would be astronomical.
Even setting aside the likelihood of being the direct victim of a villain’s heinous plot, I have a strong objection to the idea of dating anyone whom people are constantly trying to kill. I get paranoid when someone I’m waiting for is five minutes late. Just imagine if my sweetheart were tied up miles below the surface of a hidden island, and therefore didn’t show up for dinner? I’d be a wreck!
I would totally date a superheroine if she looked like Wonder Woman.
And hey, even if a villain does manage to off me to get back at her, hell, I’ll be back sooner or later, even if I have to wait for a reboot.
Being female, ending up in a fridge was my first thought.
Given most superheroines’ “most common superpower” it would be a tempting proposition.
OTOH the reboot could eliminate you altogether from all continuity, or erase your affair/marriage from reality itself.

I’d date a supervillain. Plenty of super hot ones and the heroes aren’t allowed to tie us mere mortals to the railroad tracks for revenge.
