Polite Dissent

Let’s take a quick moment to look at all the second generation super-heroes whose mother is also a super-hero. I’m ignoring alternate universes and “possible futures” (which is why I’m discounting both Franklin Richards and the Spider-Girl continuum). The pre- and post-Crisis makes it a little confusing too.

Let’s start with the most confusing: Fury (Hippolyta Hall).
First, pre-Crisis:
Earth-2 Wonder Woman (mother of) Fury

Now post-Crisis:
Fury (mother of) Fury
Miss America (adoptive mother of) Fury

And let’s not forget that fury is a mother in her own right:
Fury (mother of) Daniel (Sandman)

Sticking with Earth-2:
Catwoman (mother of) Huntress

Moving on, Golden and Silver Age mothers of current heroes:
Liberty Belle (mother of) Jesse Quick
Merry Girl of a Thousand Gimmicks (mother of) Brainwave II
Miss Arrowette (mother of) Arrowette
Hawkgirl (mother of) Silver Scarab/Dr. Fate*
Black Canary (mother of) Black Canary
Bulletgirl (mother of) Windshear

Uncanny X-mothers:
Jean Grey-Summers (mother of) Rachel Summers
Madelyn Pryor-Summers (mother of) Nathan (Cable) Summers

Image Mothers:
Gaia Noble (mother of) Rusty, Race and Zephyr Noble
Firebird (mother of) daughter without a super-hero name at this point

Doomed mothers now subject to re-written continuities:
Elasti-Girl (adoptive mother of) Beast Boy/Changeling

Grandmothers:
Firebrand (adoptive grandmother of) Atom Smasher

Sure, one aspect of their mom’s personality was evil, but they are (or were in Obsidian’s case) heroes:
Thorn (mother of) Jade and Obsidian

*While Hawkgirl is the mother of the current Dr. Fate’s soul, Dawn Granger (Dove) is the mother of his body. I wonder if he sends two cards?
