Does Parenthood Really Sideline Characters?

[Agent Z]

It should be said that when you are the most popular character in a medium on a global scale there is very little that you can do to ruin that character completely.

Characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, & Spider-Man can have risk taken that many other characters do not have the pleasure of. At the same time those characters could have the risk be utter failures and still get the time to needed to either adjust those risk so they actually work or to be written out.

Think back to the times when each of these characters were at their worst in comic history. Diana becoming a not so secrete spy instead of an amazon. Clark recent 52 characterization. And so on.

People can't compare certain things as being apples to apples when in truth one is an apple and the other is tuna fish.

The question of the thread is "does parenthood sideline characters?". Well Batman and Superman still being parents and active superheroes show the answer is no. There are numerous characters that have been sidelined despite not being parents. The popularity of certain characters is irrelevant in this case.
