Many of us are celebrating Mothers Day this weekend. While we are reveling in our Mother's glory we should keep in mind that some superheroes had moms, too.
When you are done praising your mom, you can look up some history on these "Super" Moms and their kids. Here's a short list of some of the comic book moms that we came up with here at SuperHeroStuff.Com:
Susan "Sue" Storm Richards also known as the Invisible Girl or the Invisible Woman is Mother to Franklin and Valeria Richards.
Martha or Ma Kent is the adoptive mom of Superman.
May Reilly Parker-Jameson or Aunt May, surrogate mother of Peter Parker.
Mystique or Raven Darkhölme is the mother of Graydon Creed or Nightcrawler and adoptive mother to Rogue.
This one is interesting and points out more than one mother. Magda is the mother of twins, Pietro aka Quicksilver and Wanda aka Scarlet Witch. Magda dies and the twins are placed in the care of Marya Maximoff, adoptive mother. Scarlet Witch goes on to use her powers in order to conceive twin boys named Thomas and William.
Sally Jupiter, the first Silk Spectre, is the mother of Laurie Juspeczyk or the second Silk Spectre.
Talia al Ghul is the mother of Bruce Wayne's son, Damian Wayn, who becomes the fifth Robin because Bruce Wayne is....I think you got the connection.
(By the way, do we all believe that Talia is in TDKR or do you believe the lie, I mean statement from the actress that she is not Talia?)
So we came up with several other Super Moms or moms that coddled Super Babies but we'll save the others for future reference material. In the mean time, if you are not too busy thanking your mom for making you super, can you name some other Super Mothers***?
***You can leave out the innuendos or jokes about "Mothers" or telling us that you don't know or appreciate your mom. Remember, some of the comic book heroes / villains got you beat when it comes to dealing with "Mothers".
Happy Mothers Day and it's not too late to pick up some "Super" Stuff for your Mom.
