Yeah, Kevin Smith stinks. I don't even own his crappy reboot. One of the only holes in the DD run - and one I'll never seek to fill............

Uh, gang, what's wrong with you all? The only woman for Matt was, is, and could be (again and again)......

ELEKTRA!

I see you've gotten JC's brand of welcome to the board, Kirika.

Milla happens to hold a high position in my hierarchy of Matt's women. I felt like she could have been written as a stronger character by Bendis, and I did like the one shot by Brubaker that filled in some of the gaps in her life before Matt.

Karen Page was hard to take in the early days, but then so was Matt with his alterego Mike. She came to fruition with Miller. Killing her off was a cheap shot, but it was done, so I move on.

Elektra just went polar opposite on Matt, so I don't see that as a real romantic possibility for a long run.

Natasha? Well, they are hot together. As long as Matt treats her as an equal, not like he did out in San Francisco, they've got chemistry.

Perhaps I should state opinions fit fine, frankly, JC.

I always lean toward Typhoid Mary. As someone else stated, I almost want to say Ms. O'Breen but only because she realized she needed a good man and turned to Foggy.

I must also say that I'm in the small minority that was pretty pleased that Karen Page got offed. I think KS did it in poor fashion, but I never liked Karen Page. I thought she was integral and amazing in BA but beyond that she just got blah.

That said, I understand when people disagree. We're all entitled to our own thoughts.

People, don't let him confuse you. He's using simian pheromones.

I used to have a soft spot for Echo. Before she became the unrelevant, misused character she is now.

I hope so, but what they did to her after her appearences in Daredevil was a complete shame.
First the Ronin thing (and she wasn't even supposed to be Ronin from the start, she was just a last minute fall back).

Then, a mere walk-on for the rag tag team of the new avengers, where she was so unrelevant that they didn't even care to remember that she's deaf and could only communicate by reading lips.
Also New Avengers #39, featured her as protagonist but failed to give her any importance.

I would say for me that Black Widow is the woman I like to see with Matt the most. They are both equals and they complement each other well. I like their playful, not so serious relationship. They seem to have more of a lustful sexual relationship when they are together but you know they still care about one another and have a deep respect for each other. Plus what man could resist a gorgeous red headed Russian woman? But since she seems to be having a thing with Bucky over in Captain America now it is unlikely Matt and Natalia will be getting together again any time soon.

I don't know I may be alone in this but I just don't think Matt was really meant to have a relationship with a "normal" woman. He is too high strung and his life as a vigilante is too crazy for it. I mean just look at what ends up happening with these women eventually, nothing but bad. I think with his personality and his life a more carefree relationship suits him better, especially with a strong (more equal) woman like Natalia.

I do have to say though that I will always have a soft spot for Karen as Matt's love interest. She was the love of his life and I think will always be.
