Comic Book Conversations: Superheroes’ Children

Franklin Richards is about to make his live-action adaptation and it got me thinking about the children of superheroes.

Which ones added something to the series and improved the comic? Which ones were annoying and dragged it down?

Which ones had potential that never developed?

Which ones were the weirdest? What imaginary stories or alternate realities or futures or time travelers were your favorites?

Last week, we conversed about Silver Surfer and Galactus.

Next week, we’ll talk about comic settings.
