Line 72:
* [[Marvel]] superhero Black Bolt, the king of [[The Inhumans]], is married to his cousin Medusa. Sorta justified: due to the limited gene pool of the Inhumans, just about every two-Inhuman marriage involves cousins.
* [[Mark Millar]]'s post apocalyptic ''[[Wolverine]]'' story "Old Man Logan" features a future were [[Incredible Hulk|Hulk]] and cousin [[She Hulk]] have bred and produced inbred offspring. Hulk and She-Hulk are both radioactive too, which probably didn't help...
** While it never happened in mainstream Marvel, the Hulk did come on to her at least once, in the "Basic Instinct" storyline but ''that'' was a line Jenn would not cross.
* [[Superman]]'s future daughter engages in [http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lre8o6TFW51qkwdf0o1_400.jpg a literal example] in a [[Silver Age]] [[Elseworld]] story taking place in the future. (For those who don't know the [[Superman]] mythos, Lucy and Lois are sisters, which makes Lucy and Jimmy's son the cousin of Lois and Clark's daughter. Apparently, that doesn't bother Lola ''or'' Jimmy Jr, let alone their parents, happily watching them make out. The issue itself makes ''no'' mention of them being cousins, with the main obstacle to their happiness being [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies]]. {{spoiler|They do live [[Happily Ever After]] in the end}}. As an [[Elseworld]], it doesn't really count, but still... how this got [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|past the radar]] is a mystery.)
** The Man of Steel himself apparently had such feelings [http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/FireFox516/Random%20Crap/SupermanandKara.jpg for his cousin Kara ([[Supergirl])]]. In ''that'' one, Kara tries to find Supes a girlfriend. After many failed attempts, we get the panel above, which seems to make it perfectly clear that the law is the only thing stopping them from pursuing a relationship (maybe they [[Values Dissonance|minded a lot less in the 60s?]].) Eventually, Kara fixes Supes up with a girl that is nigh identical to herself, but older, and they hit it off. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, it turns out yellow sun is her Kryptonite, and he can't leave Earth unprotected, so they must part.}}
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
* In Archie's ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic, Knuckles the Echidna and his girlfriend Julie-Su are actually distant cousins, but neither one is aware of it, and it's not directly acknowledged anywhere in the series.
* Helene and Franz from a story by [[Wilhelm Busch]]. Despite him being a Catholic priest.
