Any DC equivalent of the Summers/Grey family tree?

[edpower]

Hey. Non-X-men educated comic book fan here! Since you guys were so helpful with my last question, I have another: Do you see any of the relationships in the DCU that have the same...uh...let's say "intricacy" (?) as the Summers/Grey family tree.

Thanks again in advance!

Closest would probably be the Wayne family tree, if we include the various thieves and circus performers Bruce adopted/controlled/conscripted over the years.

Summers isn't even Marvel's most convulted family tree. That's the Pyms, since it connects to the Visions and Maximoffs as well.

Yes, though the Summers family tree is more (in)famous, which is why on TV Tropes, "Tangled Family Tree" was originally named "Summers Family Tree."

I'd argue that.

1) Adam X is Katherine Summers and D'Ken's kid, making the Summers family connect the Shi'Ar mess. If you ignore Adam, you have Gabriel marrying Deathbird
2) For kids you have Nathan, Nate, Rachel, Ruby, grandchildren Hope, Hyperstorm and Tyler, which also connects back to Stryfe. Plus the connections to the Frost, Richards and Grey families, plus Maddie Pryor.
3) Scott's grandpa married immortal villain Amanda Mueller, and an AU had Gambit as a family member, which connects the whole messed up Darkholme family.
4) To make the argument moot, Alex married Janet in an AU, connecting both crazy trees.

Does sinister count as Cable and X-man grandpa?

[CRaymond]

The Batfamily.

There’s too many of them, most are redundant, many take on stupid names, some are cool, a few should have stayed dead.

As you should, since that isn't canon.

It is questionably canon. Adam is half-Shi'Ar and half-human, and Katherine was the only human female on that part of the universe, so it's not really a stretch.

I'm pretty sure there could be other female humans there, not that much of a stretch.

How? The Shi'Ar had almost zero contact with humans before the scouting mission that got Corsair and Katherine taken?

Given the Grey Summers family penchant for time traveling kids I would say the Flash family but this is post crisis and pre new 52.

Barry Allen the 2nd Flash and his wife Iris West had twins in the far future Don and Dawn Allen the Tornado Twins and they both had kids. Dawn had a daughter X-S who was part of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century and Son had a son Bart who came back to the late 20th and early 21st centuries joining Young Justice and Teen Titans as Impulse and Kid Flash and was briefly Flash.

Iris' nephew Wally was the original Kid Flash and 3rd Flash and had 2 kids Iris and Jai with his wife Linda and they had powers too.

Then there was Jay Garrick the Original Flash who was a mentor and grandfather figure to the Flash Family much like Xavier.

I count the House of El/Kent Family members all of them. The Hawks also count since they're the poster children of Continuity Snarl trope.

Hell i also count the Flash Family (The Allen/West families) is also more convulated as well especially Malcolm Thawne/Cobalt Blue who's Barry long lost twin. And Bart Allen is the half-brother of Owen Mercer/Captain Boomerang II

Other scouting missions, other humans traveling to space (we know there were a few, like Starlord), etc.

Who also happened to be carriers for an Alpha-class mutant gene?
