Current Events > Could you date one half of a normal person who can transform into a superhero?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not talking Superman/Clark Kent here. I mean like Hulk/Banner, Jekyl/Hyde, Price Adam/He-Man, Ben/Glory.

Actually becoming a different person who despite being aware of each other have completely different personalities, wants, needs, skills, attitudes are just inhabit the same physical location.

So say it's a cute mild-mannered ordinary girl called Sara Garnet who in times of crisis holds aloft her Runestone of Sarevok, chants the magic ritual 'Baweepgrannaweepninnybong!' and becomes the hero The Storm Angel




The Storm Angel has literal superpowers and flies around stopping crime. Then reverts back to Sara Garnet once the day is saved.

Dating Sara would be a complicated relationship. Any plans you make might be hampered by a sudden crisis, if something serious is happening she might have to become The Storm Angel for weeks. And on top of all the generic relationship drama she'd be dealing with the realities of having this super-alter ego constantly inserting itself into her life. Her career etc.

And dating The Storm Angel would be even harder. She'd barely be around and you'd get all the dangers of being the "Hero's weak point" that all the villains target. Plus the risks of dating someone with super-strength.

Not to mention the awkwardness of going to bed with The Storm Angel and then waking up with Sara in your bed in the morning who is visably irritated and like "Ugh not again" before demanding you drive her home since her car isn't here as she flew in as The Storm Angel etc.

Replace with male if you're that way inclined.

It's a toughie to think about. Could you do it? Could you date her?
If so which?

No. It's an extremely easy "no"

Adam and He-Man were 2 different personalities?

Absolutely

So are Cringer and Battlecat.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend taught me that it's a bad idea.

Anyway, there's a number of komditions/variables. Depends on the details of the transformation and powers (I ain't going near a girl that thinks turning into a horse is a superpower), and most importantly, I ain't got time for "half of you is with me, half is off limits". Both personas would have to be fine with sharing me.

Easy no.

Is she hot?

I thought you meant like Firestorm who is made up of two otherwise unpowered humans.

They're literally different people

"To be in a relationship with me you have to accept that I will have sex with someone else you're not allowed to meet." is abusive

Different minds, but literally the same body. It ain't my fault they ain't allowed to meet nor do I see how me komming up with that kondition to deal with her kondition before we get into something serious is "abusive."

*Same physical location

I think it's debatable to claim they have the same body. Since their bodies are different.

And how is it not abusive to say that to date you your partner has to accept that you fuck other people they are not allowed to meet? And that you will dump them if the other person isn't interested

Would you be okay if they slept with others? How would you feel if you got dumped because the other man your girl fucks dumped her and so she didn't want you anymore?

That's not healthy
