Actually it tends to end with the normal person being killed off by the enemies of the hero. I think the SO of a hero should be another super; ideally one with intrinsic powers so that even if ambushed without equipment they can fight back effectively. **Minion:**"Uh, boss, you know how you sent me and some of the guys to off Captian America’s girlfriend?

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > So with a tip of the hat to a previous thread about Captain America’s [sexual experience](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=719160&highlight=captain+america) I wonder who he should be hooking up with. He’s hooked up in the comics for sure, but who should he be hooked up with? Movie Cap definitely needs to get himself some. _Why?_ Does every action movie _have_ to have a shoehorned-in love story? ---
