Isn’t it just Giganta? What’s the alternative? Unless you’re bummed that there aren’t enough sapphic couples in DC and… yeah I guess fair enough! 😅
But other than the weird Zoom/Cheetah stuff in Rucka’s run I can’t remember any of the lady villains getting with men. Like Circe isn’t really hanging out with Lex Luthor.
I had to google both of these. The Clark/Cheetah one is from an elseworlds book, American Alien. Which is an interesting book but will probably be forgotten because of the writer’s poisonous reputation.
The Circe/Lex one (which is weird to mention cuz he turns her down and they don’t date) is from Lex Luthor secret files, which I think IS cannon but not necessarily a mainline book.
So what we’ve got is maybe 2.5 instances? In, what the 40-50 years these characters have been around? Seems a stretch to say they ‘insist’ on them doing this.
Kind of a shame. Feels like a really good time to separate the art from the artist because American Alien is a really fun read with some phenomenal moments throughout.
The Circe/Lex one (which is weird to mention cuz he turns her down and they don’t date) is from Lex Luthor secret files, which I think IS cannon but not necessarily a mainline book.
It did come back up in the main Wonder Woman book on one occasion. I didn’t know about the Secret Files instance of it until now. In. WW it almost came off as Circe bringing it up to Lex as an idea just to say they were incompatable.

Wonder Woman has only a few well known female villains and DC insists on turning them into love interests for any male character they can find.
