Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy

Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy

The Amazing Spider Man has swung into cinemas this week as sees Peter Parker fall in love for the first time with Gwen Stacy.

So to celebrate the release of the movie we take a look at superhero girlfriends and ask 'will it last?'

- Lois Lane

Lois is Superman's chief romantic interest and, for fifteen years was his wife. Like Superman's alter ego Clark Kent, she is a reporter for the Metropolis newspaper, The Daily Planet.

They break up, they get back together, but despite it all she never suspects that her beloved is in fact out there saving the world on a daily basis.

Will It Last: Lois and Clark have a bumpy ride, but there is a happy ending for them.

- Pepper Potts

Iron Man’s love interest, Pepper is the right hand man to Tony Stark, helping him run Stark Industries and studying business administration.

Potts has shown her dediction to Stark and her loyalty was rewarded as she was promoted from housekeeper and PA to CEO of Stark Industries.

Many people have come and gone from Stark's life but Potts has been the one constant and she is the only person that he can truly trust.

Will It Last: Whilst Pepper is infatuated with both Iron Man and Tony Stark, she ends up marrying his chauffeur - Harold "Happy" Hogan.

- Betty Ross

Betty dated Bruce Banner, lead scientist in her father's Super-Soldier Research program early on in the days.

As time went on, Betty’s interest in Bruce waned, but she was always flattered by his desperate devotion and perversely attracted to his savage Hulk persona.

Will It Last: With Betty administering the serum to herself and becoming a super-powered knockout, those 2 have serious anger issues to deal with before they can live happily ever after.

- Selina Kyle aka Catwoman

Batman's feelings towards her are based on the fact that she's sort of a female version of himself: another dark, beautiful creature that prowls in the night. B

ut not all is straight forward, years of training have made her stealthy and agile as a world-class criminal, and her mastery of the martial arts makes her a formidable physical opponent.  

Will It Last: Future does not look good for these 2 with Selina’s past undermining Batman’s trust in her.

- Gwen Stacy

Gwen, a science major, seems to appreciate Peter's intellectual personality and is his first true love.

But because of Peter's hidden life as Spider-Man, it was clear their love affair would never run smoothly.

Will It Last: Head to the cinemas on 3rd July and watch The Amazing Spider-man to find out!
