Line 41:
** It's worth noting that both both Spider-Man and Mr. Fantastic have hit their significant others in moments of extreme stress. While fans didn't much like either incident, neither character is regarded primarily as a "wife-beater" the way Pym is.
*** Reed's case is entirely justifiable self-defense; his wife was under supervillain mind control and trying to kill him at the time.
** And of course almost every female romantically tied to a superhero — whether she herself is super-powered or not — has struck her significant other, and none of those incidents have ever been exaggerated as a trait of the character. [[
* Cat Grant in ''[[Superman]]'' was introduced as sort of a [[Good Bad Girl]] [[Broken Bird]]. Someone who had a bit of an immoral past that she was trying to move beyond, and was looking for a good man like Clark Kent to be her anchor. Nowadays she's portrayed as an [[Loveable Sex Maniac]] at best and just [[Really Gets Around]] at worst.
** It's been mentioned that this is a facade Cat is using because of the pain of losing her son so many years ago.
