Line 21:
* In their pre-[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] stories, this trope was in effect for Hank Pym ([[Ant-Man]]/Giant Man) and Janet van Dyne ([[The Wasp]]). Though she had a massive crush on him, she was both underaged at the time, and bore a disturbing (to him) resemblance to his recently-murdered wife. They eventually ended up hooking up anyway, and the resemblance issue was never mentioned again until after their divorce.
* In ''[[X-Men]],'' Scott falls for Madelyn shortly after Jean's death. They look so similar that he actually believes [[Doppelganger Replacement Love Interest|she's Jean's reincarnation]], though he eventually accepts them as different people. [[Played With]] when Jean [[Death Is Cheap|comes back from the dead]] and Scott abandons Madelyn, who is his wife by this point. And then it's revealed that Madelyn is [[Cloning Blues|actually a clone]].
* [[Affirmative Action Legacy|Miles Morales]]'s girlfriend has betrayed him and sold him out to Hydra! Does this mean he's finally going to suffer the life setbacks that being ''[[Spider-Man]]'' attracts for [[Creator's Pet|everyone but him]]? Nope! By the end of the arc he's got a new girlfriend and Hydra just stops caring that much about him.
