* In one ''[[The Sandman (Comic Book)|Sandman]]'' volume it's remarked that Orpheus' mother doesn't seem old enough to be his mother. This is understandable, since she is Calliope, [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|an immortal muse from Greek myth]]. Less understandable is that despite being the child of [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Dream of the Endless]] and Calliope, Orpheus seems to be aging normally for a human...
** That's because the Ancient Greeks weren't big on Mendelian genetics. You could be the son of a god and a nymph and still be a mortal man, albeit with a cool pedigree to boast about.
* Cable from ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X Men]]'' (picture above) is about twice the biological age of both his parents, Scott Summers and Madelyne Pryor; he was born in the present but was spirited away and raised in a distant future. Additionally, his mother was a clone of Jean Grey, and chronologically only a couple of years old when he was born. ([[Tangled Family Tree|It's complicated]])... Just remember that he's a time traveler.
