It’s no secret that I don’t care for the modern take on Hal Jordan as “utter jerk with no redeeming traits but he’s old-school masculine so whatever.” One of the few exceptions to that rule is the depiction of his weird odd-couple friendship with The Flash, playing the midwestern scientist square against the West Coast hotshot pilot. It’s not quite as much fun as Hal’s friendship with hothead liberal ex-billionaire Oliver Queen, but it’s right up there, leading to today’s pallin’ around query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) truly LOVES the camraderie between Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel, as well as those times that opposites Sun Boy and Star Boy would play D&D together, asking: Which fictional friends are the coolest super-buds of them all?

Since its super, I’d say Bumblebee/Goldbug & Blaster from 80’s Transformers comics. Honorable mentions to Power Girl & Harley and X-23 & Gabby.
It’s pretty hard to beat Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Second place odd couple vote for Blok and Timber Wolf.
Blue & Gold BFF!! gets my vote
The most obvious answer popping in my mind is Marvel’s Power Man & Iron Fist. After a bit of thought, I’ll throw in Barbara Gordon and Dinah Lance over at the Distinguished Competition.
