Line 36:
* The original ''[[Infinity Inc]]'' was a [[DC Comics]] series about the children (and wards, etc.) of the [[Justice Society of America]]. Effectively the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]] of [[Alternate Reality|their universe]], though they lost this status when [[Crisis on Infinite Earths|all of DC's Earths were merged into one]]. They faded into obscurity soon after. Though the JSA itself was eventually reintroduced.
* [[Marvel Comics]] wanted to do a spinoff of [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] for a DVD. Instead of using the popular ''[[Young Avengers]]'' franchise because characters were linked to controversial topics like drug-abuse, rape, and homosexuality, they made ''[[Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow]]'', which is essentially "Avengers Babies" with 12-year old children of the Avengers having adventures. No, really.
** A [[What If]] story used a similar idea with a different conceit: The Marvel heroes were unable to return home following the [[Secret Wars]], so they settled down and had kids. The story focuses on those kids, lead in particular by the daughter of [[Captain America (comics)]] and [[X-Men|Rogue]].<ref>or rather Carol Danvers, whose absorbed personality apparently overwhelmed Rogue's</ref>
* The short lived incarnation of the Seven Soldiers of Victory in [[Grant Morrison]]'s ''[[Seven Soldiers]]'' #0 included the Whip III, granddaughter of the Whip II (a [[New Old West]] [[Zorro]] wannabe) and great-great-granddaughter of the Whip I (an [[Western|Old West]] Zorro wannabe); I, Spyder, son of the original 7SoV member (and traitor) Alias the Spider; and Gimmix, daughter of Merry the Gimmick Girl and, therefore, neice of the first Star-Spangled Kid, who was also an original 7SoV member. In ''[[Seven Soldiers]]'' #1, the Bulleteer turns out to be directly descended from {{spoiler|Aurakles, the world's first superhero.}}
Line 72:
* A go-to trope for many of [[Anne McCaffrey]]'s 21st century books. (Particularly the [[Petaybee]] and [[Tower and The Hive|Talents series]].)
* Once the staple of the ''[[Xanth]]'' series: The original central character, Bink, was supplanted by his son, Dor, who was supplanted by ''his'' kids, daughter Ivy and son Dolph.
** Unfortunately, due to the abundance of anti-aging magic in the Xanthverse, ''all'' these characters are still
* ''Sons of the Oak'', a [[Continuation]] of David Farland's ''The Runelords <s>Trilogy</s> Saga'' that focuses upon the son of the Earth King battling an [[Big Bad|even bigger Bad]].
* The second and third books in the ''[[Old Kingdom]]'' trilogy mostly concern Sabriel and Touchstone's children.
Line 125:
* ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story]]'' features Claude Kenny, son of two major characters from the original.
* ''[[Phantasy Star II]]'' has Rolf discovering that he's descended from Alis Landale, the heroine of the first game. Since Chaz of the series' next chronological installment was orphaned as a child, we have no idea whether or not he's related to them, but he looks almost exactly like Rolf except for his blond hair.
* [[Pac-Man|Jr Pac Man
