1. Blue Beetle & Booster Gold
(DC Comics)
Sometimes a friendship changes both parties and makes them both immeasurably better overall. This is the case with Ted Kord and Michael Jon Carter, the bestest friends ever.
Booster was a time traveler from the future who came back in time to get rich and famous. Ted was a young inventor who inherited the mantle of the Blue Beetle and served as the inspiration for Nite Owl from Watchmen. Together they became the hijinx causin’ double act from the excellent Justice League International.
The two kept getting into trouble and launching get rich quick schemes. They are the source of some of the best comic book moments of all time and I love them both. They both had solo series without each other, but like all perfect friendships, they complete each other. The egotistical Booster and the sarcastic Beetle are perfect foils for each other, so much so that I’d venture to call them the perfect partnership and the perfect friendship in comic book history.
