Of course, Marvel is no stranger to mutant families theX-Menfranchise is practically overflowing with them.
Within theX-Mencomics, the unexpected twists, turns and revelations about parentage make it near-impossible to keep things straight.
as well as the Avengers Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
Of course, comic history being what it is, all of this has been rescinded at some point.
So that takes care of Mystiques immediate family, but the extended family is considerably more complicated.
Although to be honest, at this point Im not sure even theyve managed to figure that out.
Hoo boy, here we go.
This is the big one.
Take a stiff drink now.
Scott and Alex were sent to an orphanage, while Christopher and Katherine remained in space.
Here he was cloned, and the clone Stryfe was raised by Apocalypse.
The adult Cable also adopted two children of his own Tyler (aka Genesis) and Hope Summers.
Thats basically it for the most interesting members.
Not so much a family tree as an entire forest.
But thats what happens when youve got TWO X-Men in a relationship.
Twice the complexity, twice the confusion…
Well finish off with an easy one: Professor Charles Xavier.
Despite what the movies might have you believe, Professor X has no childhood connection to Mystique.
He does, however, have a connection to the Juggernaut.
Well get to it.
Charles Xavier was born the son of Brian and Sharon Xavier.
When Brian Xavier was killed in an accident, Sharon then married his colleague, Flint Marko.
Flints son, Cain, became Xaviers half-brother.
Professor X also has a son David Haller, aka Legion (star of TVsLegion).
Of course, if you need further evidence of how convoluted these families can get…
If anyone wants to try and make a diagram, we cant wait to see it.
HopefullyThe Giftedkeeps its familial relationships a little more straightforward than your averageX-Mencomic…
The Giftedairs on Mondays at 9pm on Fox.
