Line 29:
* From [[Jack Kirby]]'s [[New Gods]]: The [[Happily Married]] couple, escape artist Scott "Mister Miracle" Free and the massive [[Hot Amazon]] Big Barda. Also serves as an inverted example of [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]].
* The central characters of [[Marvel Comics]]'s ''[[Incredible Hercules]]'' are the titular legendary Greek hero, one of the strongest men to ever walk the Earth, and his teenaged travelling companion, Amadeus Cho, who is inexperienced but incredibly smart; they often work for/with Herc's sister Athena, another genius, though of the [[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]] type.
* [[Luke Cage, Hero for Hire| Luke Cage]] and [[Immortal Iron Fist| Iron Fist]] are [[Heterosexual Life Partner|longtime friends]] and frequent partners. Fist is the brains, and Cage is the brawn. Although, Danny can often be a [[Fish Out of Water]] in New York City, where Luke has far more "street smarts".
* [[X-Men]] allies-and-sometimes-enemies, the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, has B'nee and C'cill, two symbiotic mechanoids who could have inspired [[Master Blaster]]. One is big, clunky, armored, and sub-sentient, the other is small, agile, and has tactical skills. They are apparently named after "Beany and Cecil", a kids' show.
** For that matter, [[Beany and Cecil]], since Cecil is a ''sea serpent''.
