This is a list consisting of fictional couples who have been titled supercouples (referred to as power couples or dynamic duos in other reference). Couples that merit this title include:

  1. Mania (significant press, media attention, etc. being placed on the couple, having to do with charm)
  2. Labeled a supercouple by valid sources
  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

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