Revision as of 22:14, 19 December 2007

This is a list consisting of couples from the fictional realm, as well as the media surrounding celebrity, who have been titled as supercouples (known as power couples or dynamic duos in other reference). Couples that merit such a title include:

  1. Mania (significant press, media attention, etc. being placed on the couple, having to do with charm)
  2. Labeled a supercouple (for soap opera, couple must be thought of as a supercouple widely enough throughout the soap opera medium or outside of it to appear on main soap opera supercouples list, see Supercouples today)
  3. Notable impact (having defined the medium by either Number 1 criteria cited above or by becoming a defacto symbol for its genre)
  4. Listed as an all-time top romance (this usually applying to television, film and video game couples)

Each of these examples has been identified by scholars, critics and press as defining a supercouple.[1][2][3][4]
