Happy Father’s Day
Filed under: Comics
Let’s take a quick moment to look at all the second generation super-heroes father is also a super-hero. I’m ignoring alternate universes and “possible futures” (which is why I’m discounting the Spider-Girl continuum).
Obsidian*, Jade children of Green Lantern
Franklin Richards son of Reed Richards
Hourman II son of Hourman
Starman (Jack Knight, David Knight) son of Starman (Ted Knight)
Stargirl step-daughter of Stripesy
Hector Hall (Silver Scarab, Dr. Fate) son of Carter Hall (Hawkman)
Cable, Rachel son of Scott Summers
Jesse Chambers daughter of Johnny Quick
Daniel (Sandman) son of Hector Hall
Rusty, Race, Zephyr children of Doc Noble
Invincible son of Omni-Man*
Dr. Fate son of Hawk (the body anyway, the soul is Hector Hall’s)
*Once a hero, now a villain.
The list seems suprisingly short, please feel free to add to it…

If Hector Hall is second generation, how is his son of the same generation? ;)
Also, Ant-man’s daughter in Young Avengers, Connor Hawke (son of Green Arrow).
And does Nocturne count?
Or Nightcrawler himself, if Mystique can be counted as a hero.

Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver? Magneto’s hero status is occasional, but there!
The Phantom, generations of him.

Isn’t X-23 Wolverine’s daughter? I don’t read X-Men, so I’m not sure.
Captain Marvel (Genis) is son of Captain Mar-Vell.
Black Canary II is daughter of Black Canary I.
I don’t have any issues of Astro City for reference, but the Furst Family consists of parents and offspring.

X-23 is a female clone of Wolverine – apparently the genetic material the Evil Scientists had was damaged, but they solved their problem by doubling the X-chromosome instead of having and X and a Y.
The miniseries is full of fun medicine.

I know a lot of those weren’t “second generation” but in the case of Superman and Batman, I think it is always good to remind ourselves where they came from :)

You forgot that Hector Hall/Dr. Fate’s body is the biological son of both Hank Hall/Hawk and Dawn Grainger/Dove (who was cloaked by magic and everyone thought was Lyta Hall). And Golden Eagle/Charley Parker has just revealed himself as son of Carter Hall. And Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl is the reincarnation of Shiera Saunders Hall, wife of Carter Hall, and mother of Hector, while Kendra is Hector’s cousin.
Confused? Me too.

Omniman was never a hero, and Obsidian is no longer a villain.
