#supermanxlois
If you said SupermanXLois, give yourself a medal. Unfair but equal relationships are the hardest to write well, because you need to create 2 characters where one is capable of snapping the other's spine like a twig, while still being on equal footing. Spider-man and MJ falls into this category. 3️⃣

Example (Using superheroes):
Fair and equal: HulklingXWikkan
Unfair but equal: SupermanXLois
Fair but unequal: BatmanXCatwoman
Unfair and unequal: The ThingXAlicia

Obviously, all these are well written relationships, even healthy under certain writer's hands. But one is clearly harder to write. 2️⃣
