Thor and Loki
Ratan Tata and Nusli Wadia - A high-powered friendship that ran aground was that of industry stalwarts Ratan Tata and Nusli Wadia in the wake of the Cyrus Mistry ouster episode.
Wadia's apparent siding with Mistry became a point of contention, causing a breach in a relationship that went back decades.
Wadia and Tata were childhood friends, with their respective families having close personal connections with each other.
This equation is reminiscent of mythological Norse gods Thor and Loki who were almost like kinsmen before a falling out.

Superman and Batman
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs - The Microsoft and Apple chiefs were in the same tech space for almost three decades - where they went from being acquaintances to rivals to friends.
They worked together on the Macintosh but when the first version of Microsoft was announced in 1985, their alliance broke.
Jobs accused Gates of copying his idea and the two spoke out against each other, though the mutual respect was not lost. In the 2000s, they did become friends with Gates paying Jobs a visit during his final days.
The two tech giants could be likened to Superman and Batman. They shared a friendly equation but when they clashed, the reverberations sounded like the thunder of war.
