Line 67:
* This is a legitimate worry for the ''[[Runaways]]'' at first, before they decide to [[Screw Destiny]] and stick it to their parents. {{spoiler|Most of them, anyway.}}
* The comic version of ''[[Wanted (Comic Book)|Wanted]]'' features the character Shithead (a [[Captain Ersatz]] of Batman villain Clayface), made of the feces of the 666 most evil people in history. Also, [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsterhood]] runs in Wesley's family, since his father was an equally depraved supervillain.
* Used in ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'' and ''[[Spider-Girl (Comic Book)|Spider Girl]]'', with the "Osborn Legacy" ending up twisting three generations of Osborns. There's no evidence that any of them were evil before Norman, and even if his formula affected his genes, Harry was already a teen at that point.
** Harry's son Normie, however, turns out to be an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]], and gets better ''real'' quick.
** One story suggested Norman's father wasn't a terribly nice man; he may not have worn a funny costume, but he had the same obsession with "a strong heir" that Norm inflicted on Harry.
Line 85:
** [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Apparently]] he is also, through his mother, the ''first male descendant of King Arthur since Mordred.'' Morgan Le Fay is backing him as King of England. Certain members of the English nobility heard about this before he did, were less than pleased, and lured him out on a giant hunt so they could stab him [[In the Back]]. They were then killed by giants.
** Please note that this story is set around the turn of the 21st century; Hellboy was born on earth in 1945.
* [[Batgirl 2009 (Comic Book)|Stephanie Brown]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Batgirl 2000 (Comic Book)|Cassandra Cain]] sometimes get this treatment from Batman because of their parents being supervillains. [[Depending on the Writer|It depends on the writer]]. While Cassandra occasionally struggled with this thinking early on due [[Dark and Troubled Past|to some issues she had]], Stephanie never has, likely because the impetus for her superheroics was to spoil her father's criminal ambitions.
