We've seen enough origin stories to know that sometimes our favorite heroes and villains aren't always that different, and one wrong street or situation could change which path that character goes down. We've seen it a number of times over the years, especially from the DC Universe.

Heroes falling for villains is nothing new, and the same can be said for the villains falling for the heroes. The DC Universe is full of great examples of these types of relationships, so today we are going to take a look at a few instances where love erased the divide between hero and villain.

10 HERO FELL - BATMAN & CATWOMAN

One of the more recent and high profile relationships in the DCU is Batman and Catwoman's troubled romance, which bordered on flirtatious in the mainstream continuity for decades. And while a number of Elseworlds and alternate reality tales explored the possibility of a Bat and Cat relationship, it wasn't until Loeb and Lee's "Hush" that the two officially became an item, albeit briefly.

When Tom King took over the Rebirth Batman series, Bruce and Selina rekindled their romance and even almost got married, until they were pulled apart again. And while Catwoman may have had feelings for Batman for a while, it wasn't until Bruce allowed himself to love that the two were able to look to a future together.

Selina isn't the only woman in Bruce's life, though she is a good example of how not to deal with spurned feelings, unlike Talia al Ghul. The daughter of the Demon's Head, Ra's al Ghul, Talia fell hard for the Batman when he was chosen by Ra's to be his successor.

Bruce was obviously unable to follow in Ra's footsteps which caused a divide between Talia and her beloved, though their (forced) union did produce a child, Damian Wayne/Robin. Batman's continued rejection of Talia and her father's evils have pushed his former lover to the brink and turned her into one of his most dangerous enemies.

8 HERO FELL - ARSENAL AND CHESHIRE

Arsenal And Cheshire

Roy Harper had a troubled career as a costumed adventurer beginning with his days as Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy. Harper would turn to drugs during his time as Speedy, but after getting clean he would continue to work occasionally with his friends in the Titans before starting to work with what would become the organization known as Checkmate.

Roy's work as a drug enforcement agent would force him to go undercover to get close to the poisonous assassin Cheshire. Roy got a little too close to Cheshire and fell in love with her. He was forced to leave Cheshire and abandon his mission knowing he could never turn her in. Cheshire would have a child, Lian Harper, though she would tragically become a casualty of Prometheus' Pre-Flashpoint destruction of Star City.

7 VILLAIN FELL - KILLER FROST AND FIRESTORM

DC HEROES AND VILLAINS – Killer Frost and Firestorm

While this relationship was very lovingly explored on TV in The Flash, the comic version wasn't so romantic. The first iteration of the character was actually Crystal Frost, who had fallen madly in love with her former Professor Martin Stein, who was one-half of the character known as Firestorm.

Frost lured Stein to her Arctic research station to confess her love to him, but his confused rejection resulted in Frost getting transformed into the "heat-vampire" known as Killer Frost. She also rededicated her frozen life to destroying Firestorm's though she would eventually die due to absorbing too much radiation from the Nuclear Man. Who knew?

6 HERO FELL - GREEN LANTERN AND STAR SAPPHIRE

Green Lantern & Star Sapphire

Green Lantern is a character who is heavily tied to his emotions, as are all wielders of the emotional power spectrum represented by the various Corps of the DC Universe. The Star Sapphire's wield the sapphire light of Love, though the character's earliest appearances played out more like the possession of the innocent Carol Ferris.

Hal Jordan/Green Lantern would fall in love with Carol Ferris, and he would continually fight against the influence of Star Sapphire. Even when Hal and Carol had separated and he fell in love with USAF pilot Jillian Pearlman, the Star Sapphire gem would abandon Carol as it's host an instead possess Jillian, continuing the cycle of Hal Jordan's loves becoming Star Sapphire.

5 VILLAIN FELL - THORN AND GREEN LANTERN

Rose Canton had a split personality that would take over her body to become the villainous Thorn who frequently fought with the first Flash, Jay Garrick. Eventually, the Amazons were able to help Rose remove the Thorn personality, and she would take on the new identity of Alyx Florin and fall for the first Pre-Flashpoint Green Lantern, Alan Scott.

Rose and Alan would get married, though Thorn would make her dramatic return on their honeymoon and Rose was forced to leave him and give up their twin children for adoption to save them from Thorn. When Scott as Green Lantern and their grown hero twins Jade and Obsidian encountered Rose and Thorn years later, Rose would tragically take her own life instead of allowing Thorn to hurt her family.

4 HERO FELL - GREEN LANTERN AND HARLEQUIN

That wouldn't be Alan Scott's only romance with one of his villains, though it wouldn't come until 20 years after his marriage to Rose and Thorn. During his days as Green Lantern, Scott frequently found himself working against/alongside the first Harlequin, Molly Mayne.

Mayne had first become Harlequin as a way to capture the attention of her crush Green Lantern, though her crimes were largely harmless. GL never reciprocated her feelings, so she would eventually earn a pardon and retire. Years later Scott would realize he had been in love with Mayne all along, and the two would get married and live (mostly) happily ever after until the New 52 reboot.

3 VILLAIN FELL - PLASTIQUE AND CAPTAIN ATOM/BATMAN BEYOND

While Bette Sans Souci/Plastique began her acts of terrorism in the pages of Fury of Firestorm, she would later begin to appear frequently in the pages of Captain Atom. The two would clash as enemies initially, though her relationship with Nathaniel Scott/Captain Atom would blossom into a romance, though both the wedding and later separation would happen off-page.

When the New 52 rebooted the character, a future version of the character found herself involved in the Futures End series working alongside Terry McGinnis, the Batman of the future. She would fall for the hero and again turn against her villainous ways, though Terry's death and resultant changes to the timestream left her ultimate fate unknown.

2 HERO FELL - SUPERGIRL AND LEX LUTHOR II

In 1985, the Crisis on Infinite Earths erased the character of Supergirl from the new DC universe when it was determined that Superman would truly be the Last surviving Kryptonian. However, soon enough the genetically engineered exile of a doomed pocket dimension known as Matrix was brought to Earth by Superman, and she became the first post-Crisis Supergirl.

Supergirl would fall in love with Lex Luthor II, who was actually the original Lex Luthor in a younger cloned body. Supergirl would work with her love Luthor (who used her in his schemes) though she would leave the relationship when she learned Lex was creating clones of her to make an army of Supergirls. Matrix Supergirl was eventually erased from continuity and replaced by the Kryptonian Kara Zor-El.

1 VILLAIN FELL - BIG BARDA AND MISTER MIRACLE

The term villain might be a little stretched here, as Big Barda was raised on Apokolips and groomed to become one of Granny Goodness' Female Furies, though she never seemed to share in the bloodlust of her Apokoliptian sisters.

That may have been due to the influence of the New God from Genesis Scott Free/Mister Miracle, who was raised alongside her in the Pits of Apokolips. Big Barda fell in love with Scott Free, and she left her role as the leader-in-training of the Furies to escape with Scott and become heroes. Barda and Scott's enduring romance has survived numerous Crises and reboots.
