Throwing cars...
LordDresden:
I loved the bit in the novel in which MJ reveals how unnerving (ulcer-making, really) it would be to be married to (or otherwise tightly involved with) a superhero that you really cared for. She'd seen on the news where the enemy had been throwing cars at Peter.
That's the thing, in the Marvel Universe everybody's seen various superpeople in crazy fights, it's part of everyday life like car crashes or scandals or H1N1. But when MJ watches the news, she doesn't see 'supervillain throwing cars at Spidey', she sees 'supervillain throwing cars at Peter'. Quite a different thing, and a deep level of personal helplessness, sort of like being married to a cop or a soldier only worse, and and with live video of the dangerous parts usually at hand.

Makes me think super heros should only date other super heros. A. They live a similar lifestyle. B. It is harder to accidentally hurt them. C. You don't have to worry about super villains using them against you as much.
Seems a bit selfish to date normal people.

Kind of reminds me of a certain Wizard named Harry. Superhero dating someone with powers would be ideal but I guess it depends on how few supers there are and if the vanilla mortal truly knows what they are getting into.

The heart wants what the heart wants.
I can't watch my husband and sons in SCA combat. (Especially the sons, because I want to grab a broom and shoo the bad people trying to hit my Babies!)

Well look at the plus side the blasted the marriage away so no more worries there. (Yes I'm a little pissed at that)
