Brother-Sister Incest/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* Pietro/Quicksilver, of the [[Marvel Universe]], is extremely protective of his sister, Wanda/the Scarlet Witch, and their unusual relationship is implicit in the revamped ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]''. In the first issue of ''[[The Ultimates]] 3'', it's stated outright:

{{quote|'''Wasp:''' You don't get it, Mister Rogers, do you? They love each other.

'''[[Captain America (comics)]]:''' Of course they do. They're brother and sister.

'''[[Captain America (comics)|Captain America]]:''' Of course they do. They're brother and sister.

'''Wasp:''' No. It's more than that. They're ''in'' love.

'''Captain America:''' But... '''[[Go Mad from the Revelation|they are brother and sister]].''~~'<br />~~

'''Captain America:''' But... ''[[Go Mad from the Revelation|they are brother and sister]].''

'''Hawkeye:''' Yep. And if you think we've got problems with that Tony Stark sex video, just wait until somebody in the media figures them out. }}

* The Olympian Pantheon in the Marvel Universe does this. Other pantheons tend to bring this up when they're feeling catty.

* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' has two families that indulge in incest, both of whom end up with deformed children: Jesse's childhood friend, Billy-Bob, only has one eye, while the inbred children of Jesus Christ are mentally retarded. The latter was intentional, as they were trying to keep the bloodline of Christ "pure". Since it's been two thousand years, that's a lot of inbred Jesus generations. Starr's betrayal of the Grail is predicated on his horror at the idea of presenting ''that'' as the Messiah. It's very subtly implied a split-second before the child of Christ's bloodline dies that he's been faking his retardation, or that there was at least something to his ancestry. Specifically, the character talks in gibberish and half-formed words through until the last panel before he dies, when he turns to the guard holding him and says "Today, thou shalt be with me in paradise".

* ''[[Top Ten]]'' has Smax and Rexa, which attempts to justify it by saying they're probably the only two half-ogres in existence, thanks to their unlikely conception. Smax is squicked by the idea, Rexa isn't. He gets over it. It's implied that because their home universe is governed by the laws of fairy tales and myth, the taboo doesn't really exist, and Smax is just being a [[Woobie]].

* In a later issue of ''Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do'', it was revealed that Francis Klum {{spoiler|who later becomes Mysterio}} had been repeatedly raped over the course of his life by his older brother.
