Kate Bishop Relationships (Ask)

[livejournal.com profile] ladymercury10 asked: Do Young Avengers count? If so, how about Kate Bishop? (If not, let's go with Pepper.)


Kate always counts. Let’s do relationships, because she doesn’t have a lot of freeforms yet (and because I don’t wrangle YA or Hawkguy):

1. Kate Bishop/Jessica Drew (1)
2. Kate Bishop & Phil Coulson (0)
3. Ava Ayala/Kate Bishop (1)
4. Kate Bishop/Bobbi Morse (1)
5. Kate Bishop & Natasha Romanov (2)
6. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop/Original Male Character(s) (0)
7. Kate Bishop/Original Male Character(s) (0)
8. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop/Bobbi Morse (3)
9. Kate Bishop/Scott Lang (1)
10. Kate Bishop/Eli Bradley (47)
11. Kate Bishop/Cassie Lang (15)
12. Rikki Barnes/Kate Bishop (1)
13. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop/Noh-Varr (2)
14. Clint Barton & Kate Bishop (15)
15. Kate Bishop/Mia Dearden (2)
16. Kate Bishop/Karla Sofen (0)
17. Kate Bishop/Kara Zor-El (1)
18. Kate Bishop/Noh-Varr (4)
19. Kate Bishop/Tommy Shepherd (35)
20. Clint Barton/Kate Bishop (86)
21. Kate Bishop/Natasha Romanov (1)
22. Kate Bishop/Darcy Lewis (0)
23. James “Bucky” Barnes/Kate Bishop (1)
24. Kate Bishop/Stephanie Brown (3)
25. James “Bucky” Barnes/Clint Barton/Kate Bishop (3)

I left the numbers in again and also bolded a few of the lines to show something interesting. Though 3 our of 4 of Kate’s most popular relationships are with guys (Clint, Eli, and Tommy), she appears to be a popular option for rarepair femslash. Now, these numbers aren’t perfect, because they only count uses of the canonical, not syns. But they do paint a broad picture that might be worth looking into.
