m →Primetime: Tweak. I need to hurry up and fix up this list right now. I have other things to take care of. |
→Soap opera: Like I stated, a lot of these soap opera couples were titled supercouples by several magazines/some books. Online sources aren't always the "be-all, end-all". Here's one for a few. |

This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2008) |
This article possibly contains original research. |
This is a list consisting of couples from the fictional realm, as well as the media surrounding celebrity, who have been titled as supercouples (referred to as power couples or dynamic duos in other reference). Couples that merit such a title include:
- Mania (significant press, media attention, etc. being placed on the couple, having to do with charm)
- 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)
- Notable impact (having defined the medium by either Number 1 criteria cited above or by becoming a defacto symbol for its genre)
- 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]
