Mark Waid's Flash

Yeah, I knew Reed of course. And Batman has his Daimian...unfortunately. Supes has Christopher if that storyline ever ends. Animal Man did slip my mind.

Okay, how about this: Not too many heroes with monthly, ongoing titles, have a normal family. I don't count Sue and Franklin (and don't they have a daughter now too?) as normal.

Chris

For me, Grant Morrison did the Superhero with a family thing so well, and took it to places that you couldn't with any other character. It's hard to see any other writer being able to top the challenges that Buddy and his wife and kids went through in his ongoing series.

Valeria is the daughter of Sue and Reed, and the number of ret-cons and time-travel/alternate universe summersaults we are forced to go through to comprehend her existance makes Cable and Rachel Summers heads explode. The short cut would be to say that she is the baby that was conceived in the negative zone and whom Sue later miscarried during John Byrne's run on the title.

Whatever happened to Johnny Storm's Skrull wife and kid BTW? Given what happened to Elektra in the latest New Avengers, everyone should be looking back to that one for answers.

Sorry, call me when they bring Barry Allen back as The Flash.

Nothing against Wally, Waid's writing, or Bart for that matter, just not interested.
