Jessica Jones is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe, created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos. After a very unsuccessful superhero career, she retired to become a private detective and eventually met Marvel playboy Luke Cage. After an on-again, off-again affair, Jones and Cage have a child and begin living together with their child, Danielle, whom they name after Luke's best friend, Danny Rand (Iron Fist). In her brief existence, little Danielle had been kidnapped by the Skrulls, been present during attacks from the Hood and Green Goblin and currently has Squirrel Girl for a nanny. Good luck on making it to adolescence kid.

Rose and Thorn (Rose Canton) is a woman with a split personality whose villainous personality has the ability to control plants. Initially, she was a rogue for original Flash, Jay Garrick. After being (apparently) cured of her Thorn persona, Rose, married Alan Scott and had two superhero children, Jennie-Lynn Hayden [Jade] and Todd James Rice [Obsidian] by him. Fearful of her crazy Thorn persona emerging again, Canton gave her children up for adoption. Her fears eventually proved true but Canton chose to commit suicide rather than harm her children. Obsidian apparently inherited his mother's mental illness. Jade died in heroic fashion but would return as a zombie during Blackest Night.

Liberty Belle was Libby Lawrence-Chambers. Her powers of enhanced speed, strength, and stamina were linked to the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia (Hey, she's a Golden Age character). During World War II, she married speedster Johnny Quick and together they had a daughter, Jesse, who shares both their powers and took the codename Jesse Quick. Libby and Johnny would eventually get a divorce and their daughter would go on to have a much closer relationship with her father. Johnny would eventually die protecting Jesse and Libby would go on to blame Jesse for his demise. She prefers that Jesse call her Libby rather than "mom".
