Line 20:
** In "Schism", Logan feels this way about ''all'' of the younger mutants, and rebuilds the Institute in Westchester to give young mutants a chance to be kids.
* Played with in ''[[Kick-Ass]].'' Chris D'Amico, {{spoiler|a.k.a. Red Mist}}, is entirely aware of what his father Frank does for a living, and wants to be a part of the family business, but his dad won't allow it. Oddly, it seems like it's more because he has no faith in his son's abilities (telling Hit-girl that he wishes he had a kid like her) than because he wants a better life for him.
** Subverted again by Damon Maccready, a.k.a. Big Daddy, who despite looking like [[The Simpsons (animation)|Ned Flanders]], raises his little girl to be a ruthlessly efficient vigilante in order to exact revenge on D'Amico {{spoiler|not really revenge, he was just bored with his life and wanted his daughter to have an interesting life}}.
* ''[[Road to Perdition]].''
* ''[[Runaways]]'' has The Pride, made up of six couples who led double lives to conceal their supervillainy from their children, while trying to raise them to be normal kids (at least until they destroyed the world for their kids as they planned to). The very fact that their kids ''happen'' to be good is what causes them to run away the moment they see the parents kill someone in a ritual blood sacrifice.
