What Superheroes Have Living Parents?

[superiorcrisis]

This thread is pretty straightforward. As we all know, most superheroes' parents die in or before their first appearence. What superheroes have living parents? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Superman and Mr. Fantastic. Can you think of any others?

Cable. Hope Summers. Night Crawler. I'm sure a variety of other X-Men. Cyborg.

I think Colossus' parents are alive.

Not anymore. In "The New 52" (a reboot of the DC Comics universe), both Jonathan and Martha Kent have died following an incident with a drunk driver and Clark Kent has to grow into his role as Superman without them. Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Kents also died before Clark debuted as Superman.

And in post-Crisis, pre-New 52 continuity, Pa Kent was killed by Brainiac (courtesy of Geoff johns, surprise, surprise).

The father of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, Magneto, is alive.

Magneto is no longer their father. Their real parents are Django and Marya Maximoff, both of whom are dead, I believe.

I believe Richard Rider's (Nova) parents are both still alive (although I'm not sure if Richard himself still is). Miles Morales (Spider-Man) currently has both parents. Both of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl's parents were still alive, immediately pre-New 52. Not sure if mom survived the reboot, though.

I thought Mrs. Gordon got killed at a point to try to make Jim crack his moral code or something.

As for my suggestions? Cannot think of any. As continuity is a tricky sonuva bitch.

Isn't Wonder Woman's mother Hypolita still alive? I haven't been reading her book lately, so I don't know if she was killed off in the new 52.

Oh, and the new Dr. Fate's parents are both alive.

That's a tough one.

While it looks like she was killed off, I don't think they have ever come right out and said it was the case.

[MyriVerse]

Cable. Hope Summers. Night Crawler. I'm sure a variety of other X-Men. Cyborg.

Cable's parents are dead. Maddie? Gone. Cyclops? Believed gone; he'll probably get better. Jean (who sorta raised him)? Gone.
Hope's mother is dead. She never knew her father. She was raised by some nutbag.
Nightcrawler wishes his parents were dead.

I think Colossus' parents are alive.

They were until early-90s X-Men.

Beast's parents are living.
Iceman's parents are living.
Cyclops' & Havok's father is living, but they grew up not knowing it.
Polaris' father is living, but she only recently learned it.
Kitty's mother is alive, but they've always seemed to have a distant relationship.
Longshot's sort of father (Shatterstar) is alive, but it's complicated.
Dazzler's mother is alive.
Cannonball's mother is alive.
I'm pretty sure Emma Frost's parents are still alive... but she probably wishes they weren't.
Pixie's mother is alive.

[The Chou Lives]

That's a tough one.

While it looks like she was killed off, I don't think they have ever come right out and said it was the case.

Yeah I remember she was turned to stone and it was not reverse. So Inthibk that should count as dead.

[Speed Force League Unlimited]

Thor, Barry Allen, Wally West, Wiccan, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. (they were Magneto's children for years, I don't care what retcon ignores that)

[superiorcrisis]

This is a lot more than I expected. That's probably because I've read very little X-Men comics.
