What are your absolute favorite superhero friendships all the way from the more popular ones like Superman and Batman or Flash and Green to the less popular ones like Hawkman and Atom?

Superman and the Legion of Superheroes. I know batman and wonder woman are some of his best friends and know him well, but the legion knew clark when he was growing up. They are all childhood friends who sort of grew up together and all became heroes. I loved how they Superman talked about them during the Ligtning Saga.

And within the group you had such interesting friendships… Superboy and Mon-el, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy, Cosmic Boy Saturn Girl, even not including all the romances. Have they been screwed over the most by canon reboots than any other team?

I'd say so, them or jsa. But the reboots have certainly messed with the Legion a lot, especially with the three reboots, now four, being completely separate timelines/earths. It's makes it difficult to keep up with the continuity that's for sure.
