Due to the movie I saw yesterday, the first one that comes to mind is actually movie!Tony Stark/movie!Pepper Potts (I have no idea how accurate to comic they are because I do not read the comics); I'm also writing a set, although it's slightly stepped to the side (the "stabilizing influence" happens to be a pirate with a highly idiosyncratic sense of morality).
I suspect all H/W pairings, regardless of the gender of people involved, will tend towards being something people will turn into a sexual/romantic relationship just because the emotions and interdependencies tend to be that intense - in part because the antisocial/exceptional hero wouldn't tend to BOTHER with anyone he wasn't Just That Attached To, if that makes any sense.
