Line 107:
* Several comic book characters, including but not limited to [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] and [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Charles Xavier]].
** And in ''[[Smallville]]'', Lex Luthor.
** But not [[Iron Man (Comic Book)|Tony Stark]], who grew up surrounded by social types and was quite the unrepentant ladies' man once grown to adulthood.
* DC Comics example -- Tim Drake, the third Robin, had exactly this kind of 'rich kid abandoned' childhood, at least up until the part where his father died and Bruce Wayne finally adopted him. But even before that, it took 125 issues of his solo title before his father finally noticed that his son was leading a double life, and even then he practically had to be handed the revelation on a silver platter by the plot.
** And that was after their relationship ''improved''. Initially Tim's parents paid him so little attention that he focused on ''Batman'' (who he had seen exactly once, to boot) as a parental substitute.
