Conveniently an Orphan: Difference between revisions

* [[Spider-Man]]. He has his beloved aunt, and his uncle [[Death By Origin Story|lived long enough]] to [[An Aesop|say the thing that has shaped most of Spidey's career]].

** Also more than a few members of the supporting cast have lost one (Mary Jane, Harry Osborn, John Jameson) or both (Betty Brant, Gwen Stacy) parents.

** Much later, we learn that Bruce is also an orphan. Bruce's mother was killed by his father when he was a child, and Bruce (accidentally?) killed his father shortly before the explosion that made him the Hulk.

* Several mutant characters from Marvel's X-Books are orphans; sometimes by abandonment, sometimes by death, by murder, or by parents becoming a demon bear...

** Now the Doctor himself is basically orphaned after the [[Death By Origin Story|Time War]], providing buckets of angst.

** Amy Pond has an aunt, but is essentially a orphan. {{spoiler|At least up until "The Big Bang", when it turns out her parents got [[Ret-Gone|erased from time]], and the Doctor uses the [[Reset Button]] to bring them back.}}
