Family: Robert “Bob” Parr/ Mr. Incredible (father), Helen Parr/Elastigirl (mother), Dash (brother), Violet (sister)

Brief Background: Jack Jack first appeared in the Pixar movie The Incredibles. As the youngest member of the Incredibles family and just a baby, he was initially thought to not possess any superpowers. However, towards the end of the film he attacks the antagonist, Syndrome, with a display of some of his powers.

Abilities and Powers: Jack Jack has a surprising number of abilities, including –prepare yourself – telekinesis, teleportation, levitation, supernatural strength and agility, passing through walls, inflammability, optical laser discharge, metallic transformation, monster transformation, surface adhesion, sharp teeth and acidic saliva. Pixar even created a short film entitled “Jack Jack Attack”, displaying Jack Jack’s powers and how he uses them to terrorise unsuspecting people.

Family: John Grey (father), Elaine Grey (mother), Sara Grey-Bailey (sister, deceased), Nathan Christopher Summers (Cable, stepson), Stryfe (clone stepson, deceased), Rachel Summers (Marvel Girl, alternate timeline daughter), Nate Grey (X-Man, alternate timeline progeny, deceased) and about 3 generations of in laws and other people whom I shall not mention here.

Brief Background: Jean Grey has been around for a long time, first appearing in the opening issue of X-Men in 1963. Given the long time since her debut and the suspiciously long and complicated list of relatives mentioned above, it’s unsurprising that there’s a convoluted story involved. For now, let us understand that as a child of 10, Jean’s telepathic powers first manifested after experiencing the emotions of a dying friend. She was then brought to Professor Charles Xavier who treated her and introduced her to the astral plane. In doing so, a part of her mind manifested as the Phoenix raptor. Professor Xavier managed to shield her from her own telepathic powers until she was mature enough to control them. When she grew up, she became a founding member of the X-Men, a team of mutant trainees under Professor Xavier.

From there on, complications involving the entity, Phoenix, ensued. Time traveling comes free of charge.

Abilities: telepathy and mind reading, initiating astral travel, telekinesis, levitation, generating force fields, flying and stimulating heat molecules to generate concussive blasts.
