3. Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Shuri (Princess of Wakanda)

Yes, I am fully aware you're possibly screaming at me through your computer/tablet/phone screen because "Peter Parker and MJ forever," but hear me out. Couldn't you see Peter Parker, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, swinging into Wakanda with a backpack full of high-tech gadgets, only to be outdone by Shuri, Wakanda's very own tech wizard princess? *fans self*

The air would crackle with their witty banter and genius ideas bouncing back and forth. Peter, with his wide-eyed enthusiasm for science and a knack for getting into trouble, would absolutely meet his match in Shuri, whose brilliance and cool gadgets make even the most advanced Spider-tech look like a high school science project. Together, they're like a superhero version of a science fair gone wild - combining vibranium with spider silk, inventing new gadgets before breakfast, and saving the world before dinner.

It's not just their brains that make them a great match - it's their hearts, too. Both carry the weight of their worlds on their young shoulders, striving to honor their legacies while forging their own paths.

Now, let's dial up the charm factor. Picture Peter trying to keep up with Shuri's quick wit and tech-savvy skills, all while attempting to impress her with his Queens-bred charm. Shuri, on the other hand, would find Peter's awkwardness endearing, offering a refreshing contrast to the royal decorum she's used to. Their dates could range from hacking into high-security databases for fun to swinging through the concrete jungle of New York to enjoying a quiet night in, tinkering with new inventions in the lab. How freaking adorable would that be?

Their relationship would be a blend of mind-bending science projects, heartfelt moments of understanding, and the occasional battle against villains who never saw this dynamic duo coming. Peter and Shuri together would not only be the MCU's smartest couple but also its most adorably geeky, proving that even in a universe filled with gods and monsters, there's nothing more powerful than a shared love for technology and a good laugh after saving the day.
