Life really isn’t fair for us normal guys. I mean, I can’t kiss upside-down in the rain, I can’t take a girl for a ride in the Batmobile, and I certainly can’t carry a girl as I fly over Metropolis. Superheroes have a distinct advantage in picking up women, and therefore they get the most beautiful women imaginable. That’s a way more lucrative part of the job than the whole risking life and limb bit.

The women standing beside our favorite heroes are often grossly overlooked. These girls keep the likes of Batman, Spidey, and Superman going when all hope seems to be lost. It’s time they got some credit, since their credit is long overdue.

And that is where we come in. We’ve gone through the best of superhero movies and TV shows with the intent of finding out just which love interests are the sexiest. Some tough decisions were involved, and many quality women were left off the list, but in the end we were able to narrow it down to the 10 choices that you’ll find on the next few pages.

For this list, we’ve only included women who aren’t actually superheroes. Obviously if a girl has super powers, part of that is going to be super-attractiveness. So it isn’t really fair to count them, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some super attractive normal girls to consider. This list also isn’t based on the character alone. The actress who played her is just as important, and because of that, the personality and looks provided in comic books don’t factor in here.

With a lot more superhero films on the way, there will likely be some quality women who are making a run at this list (Amy Adams anyone?), but the selections here are only from films released prior to 2013.

WIth that in mind, read on for our list of the 10 sexiest superhero girlfriends.
