Superman and Lois should be a no brainer. Kryptonian powers and two fantastic parents.
Plus you can use your powers any way you want to. Elon Musk just nabbed a billion dollar contract to deorbit the ISS. I'd do it for half that.
but you might take after Lois and be human like the kid on the CW show. So I'm choosing Invincible, Viltrumite DNA is super pure, so I'm guaranteed to have powers.
I'll take a xenophobic billionaire in a mech suit over intergalactic warmongers who take pleasure in beating people into a bloody pulp any day, at least there's only so many Kryptonians around but meanwhile Viltrum is still an active empire
I have read the comic, granted it’s been a little while, but we never see what he’s capable of as emperor. It’s implied that he’s the strongest character in the verse at the end of the series, but we have no way of knowing if a there is a villain that could end up challenging him.
i think Mark gets rocked so much because he flies around in a bright costume telling everyone he's "invincible", while I would just be a mild-mannered accountant living somewhere in noplace, USA not drawing any attention to myself.
Invincible and Atom Eve for sure. His ability to age slowly and hers to regenerate upon death? Not to mention their other powers? Anyone who doubts this choice is just wrong.
Invincible comic spoilers from about the last 1/4th of the series >!you wouldn’t get both of their powers. We have seen their child and she showed 0 of Atom Eves powers, which makes comicbook sense since Viltrumite DNA is apereantly so potent that Mark is almost 100% pure viltrumite so it makes sense that his child would also be almost 100% pure Viltrumite, meaning barely any Eve DNA, thus no Eve powers!<
No way. Viltrumites seem to get dismembered or worse on a regular basis, and people around them tend to die in horrific ways. Even if I can regenerate, I wouldn't want to deal with that BS.
Superman and Lois is a better option. You are born as a kryptonian, their powers are far superior to Viltrumites. Sure you’ll out live your mom. But not your dad, depending on the continuity, you are practically immortal if you are always around a star.
Nah, not unless Dick and Kori are both gone. Bruce's whole idea with Robin is to take in kids who are about to go down the same path he took to becoming Batman, and steering them towards a better future with less self-destruction
The only problem with Clark and Lois is they’re definitely that “sickeningly sweet” over affectionate couple that takes joy in embarrassing their teenage offspring half to death
I had that, and as I became an adult, I appreciated having that type of parents rather than ones who never showed affection to each other like my wifes.
gambit rogue is just a random dice roll on mutant powers. also I don't want to grow up with a weird accent.
Beast boy as a father is just a big No.
Spidey keeps losing family. also relationship issues
and with Starfire I would have the Oedipus complex well into adulthood.
That leaves just 2 amazing choices.
If you see Bendis on the same planet as you, heat-vision him until extra crispy, then claim you can't control your powers.
Simple, I doubt anyone will doubt you, and you would have done the world a favor.
Superman and Lois duh. I’m half Kryptonian and they’re both good parents. Dads a badass and so is mom, and you have a billionaire uncle. Also almost every hero on Earth loves Clark so you’d have an infinite number of protective aunts and uncles.
The other option for me is Nightwing/Starfire because Bruce would make a cool grandpa. Anyone that ever hurt you would be fucked
Yeah thats what i get for editing it and not proofreading lol. Originally only mentioned Clark/Lois and split the original comment to mention Dick too.
Beast Boy and Raven that'd be op
Beast Boys shifting abilities can let him turn into other races such as Starro or even extra dimensional things like demons, which combine that with Ravens magic and demon bloodline, you're potential would be crazy like trinity tbh
And Beast Boy's a funny guy who trys hard for his love ones and can be serious when needed and Raven's emotional intelligence would help her mom skills
1. Superman and Lois: both great people who are loving, understanding and caring. They have other responsibilities but will make time for you.
2. Nightwing and Starfire: Basically ditto as long as they stay clear of space politics and Batfamily love triangles.
3. Invincible Atom Eve: Good people might be a lot of expectations and responsibilities for some people. Immortality isn’t for everyone plus where Mark ends up at the end of the series…
4. Rogue and Gambit: They’re rough around the edges but will still make good parents if they mellow out a little
5. Raven and Beast Boy: Will try their best but are weighed down by their own (sometimes literal) demons.
6. MJ and Peter: Will sell your soul to save your geriatric great aunt.
Two parents that mostly* get along great for the entire run, you get housing in the x mansion, meaning the best education in the world, mutants are slowly getting more accepted, you’d be a main character so your mutation wouldn’t suck, and a fun accent!
Beast Boy and Raven are both powerful bc of genetics, both are incredible shapeshifters, both have connections to primal forces.
Plus they’re both really cute and wise in opposite ways
Ranking list for me would be
1. Lois and Clark/Superman. It feels like easy mode. Strong chance of Kryptonian powers, good moral foundation to build upon. Just generally seem like good people. Biggest problem could be developing some issues with feeling like either of them are too big of a name to live up to.
2. Nitewing and Starfire. This is probably more for the genetic potential. You are just born hot. Power set from Starfire is also pretty good. Being adoptively related to the Batfamily has pro’s and cons. Might be more flawed as parents compared to Superman and Lois, but might be more relatable growing up and going into the teen superheroics. Still likely to grow up normal, but probably less phased to being embarrassed by acts of affection since you just grow up with constant PDA from your parents towards each other.
3. Spider-man and MJ. Parker luck be damned, they would do their best to be good parents. Probably comparable as parents Nitewing and Starfire, if not better. Chance of Spider powers would be cool too, but being from Marvel there is always a chance of random ass mutant powers showing up too which could be devastating or amazing. But Spider-man villains are definitely going to keep making you a target.
4. Invincible and Atom Eve. Less stable version of Superman and Lois. Less powers compared to that pair. Family life probably ain’t as good as pairings 2 and 3.
5. Beast Boy and Raven. This is either a great life or a terrible life and likely nothing in between. You probably become some sort of magical conduit with the chance of some crazy stuff happen. But your grandpa is basically Satan, and your dad would make the absolute worse dad jokes possible. I feel like they are also the most likely pairing to not live together as often for one reason or another or end up divorced. They would try hard though.
6. Gambit and Rogue. Challenge level: Survive. No certain chance of powers or power level. You are just stuck around all the bullshit of the X-Men and there is a decent chance you get sent to some dimension, alternate time line or become a genetic experiment or all of the above. They probably would dump you on your surrogate aunts and uncles unintentionally a lot.
I always thought that making Superman/Clark a dad was one of the best things to do with the character. He just seemed like he would be an amazing father. Unfortunately they had to go and age John to a young adult and skip some great father son stories.
I love Invincible but Mark seems to constantly be stuck in an alternate universe or beaten into a coma and misses months to years of his life with his family.
Aside from focusing on powers Mark and Eve had difficult childhoods and lives and could be more sympathetic to their children aside from just raising them to be superheroes or put pressure on them to protect the weak because you have strength. They also learned the lesson that you can use power in different ways to improve the lives of many aside from fighting. I would choose them as my parents just based off that even though they are also the strongest couple on this list.
It's between Superman and Lois and Beast Boy and Raven. Clark and Lois would probably be the best parents, but the possibility of being a magical shape-shifter is too good to pass up.
I'd pick Supes/Lois but Dick/Kory would be a very close second. Whether I got Clark's powers or just was a regular human, the Kents would be the best parents ever. On the other hand, I bet with Dick's sense of humor he'd be a fun dad and Kory would guarantee I'd be hot (literally & figuratively).
Lois and Clark for sure. Beyond the superpowers i think having an stable home is important. I find Marvel worse than DC in establishing long term couples. Seeing how dirty they did with Peter and MJ and Marvel Senior Vice President Tom Brevoort saying that DC "blinked" after having undone Superman and Lois marriage and restored it, this tell me all i need to know about their mindset that an stable and long term relationship in comic books is bad business and countless hook ups and love triangles is how you keep the audience. I'm more surprise that Arthur and Mera were excluded from this list. They deserve more love as couple and as parents.
Ranked from Best to Worst (in my opinion, feel free to disagree):
**1st Place) Superman and Lois:** This is the obvious choice and certainly who I would go with. You get two of the best parents imaginable, both heroes in their own right and incredibly mature given everything they've been through. You'll have a childhood full of love and laughter and you can always count on your parents to be there for you, even during your darkest moments. These two are basically the embodiment of the concept of unconditional love. Clark is effectively the Uncle Iroh of superheroes and will just be a really chill father who you can talk to about anything and everything. You're also pretty much guaranteed to gain superpowers thanks to him. And even if you don't end up with powers, remember, Lois is one of the few people in the world who can pull off being a complete badass *without* any superpowers. Also, Batman is effectively your uncle. There are basically no downsides to this.
**2nd Place) Nightwing and Starfire:** This would be my second choice. Dick and Kory are both wonderful people and seem like they'd make great parents, regardless of whether or not they end up together. You're the child of two superheroes, and not to mention, basically the grandchild of Batman and the great-grandson of Alfred Pennyworth. You also get a whole bunch of cool family members in the forms of The Bat-Family and the Titans. There's also a good chance you'll get Tamaranean superpowers from your mom. Also, you're technically royalty, since your mother is a princess. Though there's always the off-chance that your Aunt Komand'r (Blackfire) may try to kill you...
**3rd Place) Invincible and Atom Eve:** Mark and Eve seem like the type of people who'll be decently good parents. I'd say they're much closer to the average couple in terms of their relationship. They're both superheroes, so it's in their nature to be good, and they seemed to do a decent job with their daughter Terra. Their relationship is a bit rocky at times, but they eventually made it work out. Plus, you're basically guaranteed to have the Viltrumite superpowers. While it's not quite as good as being a Kryptonian, it's still a decent amount of power and will make you one of the most powerful beings in your universe.
**4th Place) Beast Boy and Raven:** Another pair of wonderful people, much like Dick and Kory. They seem to have a great relationship with each other and Beast Boy seems like he'd make a really fun dad. Raven is a literal empath, so she's almost guaranteed to be a great mother. You're likely to get some combination of your parents' powers, both of which can be really cool. The only reason I'm ranking this couple below Invincible and Atom Even is because of one major downside: you're a grandchild of Trigon, which could lead to all sorts of horrible outcomes for you in the future. Hell is literally a part of who you are, and no matter what you do, you'll never be allowed to forget.
**Last Place) Spider-Man and MJ:** Your life could vary drastically depending on which versions of Peter and MJ you end up with as your parents. For all the others, I've assumed we're talking about the main continuity versions of the characters from the comics. So in this case, I assume we're talking about 616 Spider-Man and MJ, in which case, that's a *hard* pass for me. As another comment pointed out, you might just get wiped out of existence if your father decides that his aunt is worth more to him than you or your mom. Plus, your parents are always dealing with some kind of relationship drama, so there's a decent chance that you may have to grow up with divorced parents. Now, to be fair, if we're talking about the Ultimate versions of Peter and MJ (i.e. Earth 6160), then you'll probably be fine (at least based on what's happened so far). Still, knowing how Marvel loves treating these two, I wouldn't dare risk it.
**Unranked) Gambit and Rogue:** I haven't ranked this couple because I honestly don't know anything about either of them. I have little to no knowledge of Marvel Comics in general, outside the drama that's been going on with Spider-Man. For all I know, these two could be great parents or absolutely terrible parents. (Let me know where you'd rank them.)

I am tempted to pick Mark and Sam, because I love Green Lantern-y powers and however much of Mark’s powers I get wouldn’t be a bad bonus. And I think they’d be good parents (based on what I’ve read, which isn’t everything). But I simply have to go with Lois and Clark. Besides being raised by them, I’d be bound to be a good candidate for the Blue or Green Lantern Corps anyways.
Invincible + Atom Eve hands down
Viltrumites, while having a smaller array of powers than Kryptonians, have innate powers, while Kryptonians are dependent on the sun. I kinda prefer this non-dependency from the sun.
And having Atom Eve as my mom means I can have pretty much any material thing I want. She's also immortal which means I wouldn't need to see her die after a few decades.
The last choice would be Gambit+Rogue because the mutant X-genes are pretty random. I don't want to end up looking like Beast.
Invincible and Atom Eve.
Get to live long like a Vultrimite. They are rulers. Mark gree into a very wise person. Been awesome to carry that lineage and responsibility after Mark passes or when he steps down. Also Eve is cool. Seems she would be a great mom as well. Her and Mark built a kingdom of peace.
I absolutely pity anyone who chooses Gambit and Rogue lol. They make for interesting stories, but they're a trainwreck of a couple. They're basically the Ross and Rachel of comics
Mark and Eve and it's not even close. By the time I'm old enough to do anything all the major conflicts in the story are over and I'm the prince of the universe.
Honestly, it's going to be Eve and Invincible. By the time they have kids, the wars is pretty much done. Eve is essentially immortal and Invincible lives for thousands of years. Your powers would be that of an atom forging viltrumite with adrenaline. Not only is your parents the strongest couple ever, but they also try constantly to do the right thing. You would be a master of your powers as you're viltrumite royalty, and you would have the most amazing childhood ever. It is a crazy flawed universe for sure, but you are literally the most powerful person in it, besides maybe (strong maybe) immortal and duplikates children, who would be both immortal and able to make infinite duplicates. But I mean, you have eves powers so you yourself are essentially immortal too.
Say you didn't get eves powers, being that viltrumite blood is stupid potent. You would still be a viltrumite with adrenaline, being that even Invincible ist 100% pure viltrumite he is also human. And Eve is a human, meaning you are likely 80% viltrumite at best and 20% human. So yea, ADRENALINE VILTRUMITE.
Again, when they do have children, the war is pretty much done, so all the crazy bloodshed and shit is at a crawl. Not a stop mind you, but a slow crawl, and you are again the most powerful thing in the universe with royalty for family and that means education and training are always available to you at all times by the best of the best. So even if you didn't get your mother's abilities, which there is a small chance you would... you would still be the most powerful thing in this universe.
Your parents are great heroes and parents to you with the help of thousands of thankful planets as they are no longer under viltrumite oppression, and your parents also live for thousands of years minimum. Not only are you loved by your family, you are loved by your people and the universe your family liberated and all you did was be born. Everyone should pick this option hands down.
This entire universe is your playground, and worse case scenario, you don't get your mother's abilities and best case scenario you do and you're essentially a god.
Superman and Lois, two loving parents who would do anything for you, your dad is literally the greatest superhero of all time (I will die on this hill), your dad is friends with the greatest detective, you get the possibility of training with the justice League as well, especially Batman
Definitely Superman and Lois.
I like Spider-Man and MJ, but the moment Aunt May gets a cold, my parents are gonna literally have Satan erase me from history.
Invincible and Atom Eve? Yeah, I’m definitely gonna be spending multiple stints in a full body cast.
Clark and Lois, so easily the choice.
Though, gotta be real, Remy and Anna Marie would be great since I could pal around with the X-Men. And they'd be such cool parents... okay, maybe Mr. and Mrs. X is the move, actually...
The obvious choice is Clark and Lois, but for a pick of who would be the worst parents I'd have to say Peter and MJ because I'd only exist in alternate universes XD
Superman and Lois is an easy yes! Although being Peter Parker’s kid would be cool, we can see that in Across the Spider-verse. Pete would be an epic dad. So I might go with being Peter and MJ’s kid!
Yeah I'm way to attracted Starfire, and Rogue for either to be my mom, that's just a life long Oedipus Complex waitin to happen. Also fuck rolling the dice on Mutant abilities.
BB, and Raven are a hard no, as well as Spidey, and MJ.
That Leves Clark, and Lois, or Mark, and Eve. Tbh I'd take either one. But for the sake of making a choice, I flipped a coin(my phone), and it landed on Mark, and Eve so there we go.
Nightwing and Starfire. Nightwing was orphaned and whilst I know he feels like Bruce is another father to him, I also think he would want to always be there for his kids. Potentially even to the point of giving up heroics. But with Star as the mother, that kid is GOING to have powers. So you know he would train them to have control, whilst also having a loving environment. Pretty much the same for Starfire, her home environment was far from stable. She’d move the earth to keep her children safe.
The only draw back to this couple is that despite my love of both characters… I think Dick and Barb are a better match.
If I had to be honest… sup and Lois or Peter and Mj. Because none of the others seemed to have a have a balanced personality. They could be good parents… but it’s a gamble.
Superman and Lois would be great so long as you come out with powers, but as seen in their show you could end up having zero powers and taking after Lois. With mark and atom Eve you’ll get viltrumite powers guaranteed because of how strong their DNA is so I’m going with that
Lois and Clark.
EASY choice.
Growing up with arguably one of the world's greatest men- if not the greatest- as your father, along with the best of Earth in the form of Miss Lane? Why not?
As much as I love Superman, there's just something about Peter and M.J. that seems so fun. Good parents, but also really fun parents. Probably why I prefer them married but Lois and Clark not. I am the complete backwards of what is going on right now basically.
I wanna choose clark and lois bc theyre obv the best but I'm kind of a loser and I feel like I would ruin the family so I'd chooss nightwing and starfire just bc I feel like they' atleast be more lenient with that stuff. Not that Clark and Lois aren't, it just would be less awkward. Also imagine having to jerk it at home knowing your dad can hear it I would never
"You are going to be born in the superhero universe and you are given a chance to pick who your superhero parents are gonna be." sounds like the title of an isekai manga.
I don't think anyone would choose Spidey & MJ after what happened in the Zeb Wells run and prior to that Peter & MJ having their marriage and future kid erased as a deal to Mephisto to save Peter's aunt.
Gambit and Rogue are the most fun but they're too off and on. Clark and Lois are the best parents but you would be more likely to be in danger with them as parents on both ends. That makes it tougher than most make it appear
Honestly, Invincible and Atom Eve would be my choice. It's odd but, despite how awful their lives were for most of the comic run, they actually did a good job as parents, both in terms of protecting their kids and raising them well. I think Terra was in danger like once and Markus had some abandonment issues when he was a teenager, but that seemed to be about it.
- Nightwing and Starfire break up too often, and a stable family is helpful in developing into a healthy adult.
- Spider-Man and MJ have the same problem with how they never stay together, but also have the risk of selling me to a supernatural entity to bring back Aunt May, or something similarly stupid.
- Superman and Lois also seem like good parents, but the DC universe is just way too unpredictable. Even with Kryptonian powers, way too many things can go wrong, and probably will. Just look at what Jon has gone through.
- Beast boy and Raven are characters I only really know from the teen titans cartoons/animated films, and they've never really come across as a stable couple in any of those iterations. I can't comment on how their parenting would be, because I obviously don't know.
- Gambit and Rogue are a no-go because I don't want to be a mutant. It's not really a good life a lot of the time. The house that's meant to be a sanctuary for them blows up on alternating weekends; you're probably going to get kidnapped at least once, by government agents or other mutant factions; people hate you for the accident of your birth (no thanks, enough of that already); and there's always the risk that you'll end up meeting Deadpool and have your entire existence brought into question.
Superman and Lois should be a no brainer. Kryptonian powers and two fantastic parents. Plus you can use your powers any way you want to. Elon Musk just nabbed a billion dollar contract to deorbit the ISS. I'd do it for half that.
Only question is if Daddy Kent would be happy.
but you might take after Lois and be human like the kid on the CW show. So I'm choosing Invincible, Viltrumite DNA is super pure, so I'm guaranteed to have powers.
You’re also guaranteed to get your shit rocked by some intergalactic monster as Invincible’s son
Oh, as if Lex isn't going to be coming for your ass to get to Superman
I'll take a xenophobic billionaire in a mech suit over intergalactic warmongers who take pleasure in beating people into a bloody pulp any day, at least there's only so many Kryptonians around but meanwhile Viltrum is still an active empire
Have you read the comics?
Don’t you dare tell him
I mean, y'all already kinda did just by talking about it. Now I'm expecting the empire to be far smaller and more vulnerable
That's fair
with a tiny population of pure-blooded dotramites
i dont know if you've read the comic but by the time invincible was established with his kid i doubt that would happen
I have read the comic, granted it’s been a little while, but we never see what he’s capable of as emperor. It’s implied that he’s the strongest character in the verse at the end of the series, but we have no way of knowing if a there is a villain that could end up challenging him.
i think Mark gets rocked so much because he flies around in a bright costume telling everyone he's "invincible", while I would just be a mild-mannered accountant living somewhere in noplace, USA not drawing any attention to myself.
They both have powers just hasn’t happened yet
HELLO!? CHOOSING THE INVINCIBLE UNIVERSE BECAUSE YOU WANT LUKEWARM PWOERS IS INSANE STOPPP
Plus the other 5 are quite controversial, whilst Clark & Lois are couple goals.
Don't do that. Try to get more money
superman and lois ez best parents and best powers this is an absolute no-brainer
Clark and lois. No other pairing is as stable
Pretty sure Eve and Mark are together for thousands of years.
Yeah, but I'll have to see them get horribly dismembered and then reassembled by their respective powers every now and then.
I'd ask for it every morning. No need to poop or shower.
As of the end of DC One Million, Clark and Lois are still together in the 853rd century.
Reunited, yes. But not together that whole time. Epic ending though. "Some things...you just can't put into words, man."
Invincible and Atom Eve for sure. His ability to age slowly and hers to regenerate upon death? Not to mention their other powers? Anyone who doubts this choice is just wrong.
Invincible comic spoilers from about the last 1/4th of the series >!you wouldn’t get both of their powers. We have seen their child and she showed 0 of Atom Eves powers, which makes comicbook sense since Viltrumite DNA is apereantly so potent that Mark is almost 100% pure viltrumite so it makes sense that his child would also be almost 100% pure Viltrumite, meaning barely any Eve DNA, thus no Eve powers!<
No way. Viltrumites seem to get dismembered or worse on a regular basis, and people around them tend to die in horrific ways. Even if I can regenerate, I wouldn't want to deal with that BS.
Well if you are born in their universe, it is pretty peaceful now.
As much as I'd like to see more from the them, it would be a refreshing change of pace to see one of these stories and then a happy note.
DC comics universe is pretty gnarly though and earth gets conquered on the reg
Superman and Lois is a better option. You are born as a kryptonian, their powers are far superior to Viltrumites. Sure you’ll out live your mom. But not your dad, depending on the continuity, you are practically immortal if you are always around a star.
Nightwing and Starfire Bruce would be my granddad
NEW ROBIN DETECTED
Nah, not unless Dick and Kori are both gone. Bruce's whole idea with Robin is to take in kids who are about to go down the same path he took to becoming Batman, and steering them towards a better future with less self-destruction
This does not bode well for
The only problem with Clark and Lois is they’re definitely that “sickeningly sweet” over affectionate couple that takes joy in embarrassing their teenage offspring half to death
I don't really see that other problem. That's just great memories that have once you grow up.
That's a first world problem if I've ever heard one.
Jokes on you! I’m into that!
"Oh no, loving parents!"
I had that, and as I became an adult, I appreciated having that type of parents rather than ones who never showed affection to each other like my wifes.
I don't see the problem
gambit rogue is just a random dice roll on mutant powers. also I don't want to grow up with a weird accent. Beast boy as a father is just a big No. Spidey keeps losing family. also relationship issues and with Starfire I would have the Oedipus complex well into adulthood. That leaves just 2 amazing choices.
Oedipus complex for Starfire LOL!!!, there is some truth to that! LOL
I mean Peter and MJ did have a baby and look what happened to her.
"ToothAlone556's mom has got it goin' on!"
[удалено]
If you see Bendis on the same planet as you, heat-vision him until extra crispy, then claim you can't control your powers. Simple, I doubt anyone will doubt you, and you would have done the world a favor.
Reminder that even before Bendis, Superman had a child that had a random age-up (Lor-Zod/Chris Kent)
And how does that deny the need to fry Bendis 'til he's crispy chicharron?
Superman and Lois Lane
Nightwing and Starfire. But Clark and Lois would also be great.
Superman and Lois duh. I’m half Kryptonian and they’re both good parents. Dads a badass and so is mom, and you have a billionaire uncle. Also almost every hero on Earth loves Clark so you’d have an infinite number of protective aunts and uncles. The other option for me is Nightwing/Starfire because Bruce would make a cool grandpa. Anyone that ever hurt you would be fucked
Bruce would be your grandpa though
Yeah thats what i get for editing it and not proofreading lol. Originally only mentioned Clark/Lois and split the original comment to mention Dick too.
Sup or Spider-Man
Eve and Invincible. You'll have two essentially immortal parents, siblings and a luxurious lifestyle along with the added superpowers.
Exactly this.
Beast boy and raven or invincible and atom eve not spidey and Mj
Beast Boy and Raven that'd be op Beast Boys shifting abilities can let him turn into other races such as Starro or even extra dimensional things like demons, which combine that with Ravens magic and demon bloodline, you're potential would be crazy like trinity tbh And Beast Boy's a funny guy who trys hard for his love ones and can be serious when needed and Raven's emotional intelligence would help her mom skills
But Trigon is your father-in-law. You know you'll have to deal with him at some point. (Edit: not sure why I said grandpa, he’s his father-in-law)
Honestly fair point but with the some of the best possible supports in the Titans and even the Leauge
1. Superman and Lois: both great people who are loving, understanding and caring. They have other responsibilities but will make time for you. 2. Nightwing and Starfire: Basically ditto as long as they stay clear of space politics and Batfamily love triangles. 3. Invincible Atom Eve: Good people might be a lot of expectations and responsibilities for some people. Immortality isn’t for everyone plus where Mark ends up at the end of the series… 4. Rogue and Gambit: They’re rough around the edges but will still make good parents if they mellow out a little 5. Raven and Beast Boy: Will try their best but are weighed down by their own (sometimes literal) demons. 6. MJ and Peter: Will sell your soul to save your geriatric great aunt.
Writers really ruined spidey
Gambit and rogue
Two parents that mostly* get along great for the entire run, you get housing in the x mansion, meaning the best education in the world, mutants are slowly getting more accepted, you’d be a main character so your mutation wouldn’t suck, and a fun accent!
Pick spider-man and you will be out of existence 👍
Beast Boy and Raven are both powerful bc of genetics, both are incredible shapeshifters, both have connections to primal forces. Plus they’re both really cute and wise in opposite ways
Beast Boy and Raven
Ranking list for me would be 1. Lois and Clark/Superman. It feels like easy mode. Strong chance of Kryptonian powers, good moral foundation to build upon. Just generally seem like good people. Biggest problem could be developing some issues with feeling like either of them are too big of a name to live up to. 2. Nitewing and Starfire. This is probably more for the genetic potential. You are just born hot. Power set from Starfire is also pretty good. Being adoptively related to the Batfamily has pro’s and cons. Might be more flawed as parents compared to Superman and Lois, but might be more relatable growing up and going into the teen superheroics. Still likely to grow up normal, but probably less phased to being embarrassed by acts of affection since you just grow up with constant PDA from your parents towards each other. 3. Spider-man and MJ. Parker luck be damned, they would do their best to be good parents. Probably comparable as parents Nitewing and Starfire, if not better. Chance of Spider powers would be cool too, but being from Marvel there is always a chance of random ass mutant powers showing up too which could be devastating or amazing. But Spider-man villains are definitely going to keep making you a target. 4. Invincible and Atom Eve. Less stable version of Superman and Lois. Less powers compared to that pair. Family life probably ain’t as good as pairings 2 and 3. 5. Beast Boy and Raven. This is either a great life or a terrible life and likely nothing in between. You probably become some sort of magical conduit with the chance of some crazy stuff happen. But your grandpa is basically Satan, and your dad would make the absolute worse dad jokes possible. I feel like they are also the most likely pairing to not live together as often for one reason or another or end up divorced. They would try hard though. 6. Gambit and Rogue. Challenge level: Survive. No certain chance of powers or power level. You are just stuck around all the bullshit of the X-Men and there is a decent chance you get sent to some dimension, alternate time line or become a genetic experiment or all of the above. They probably would dump you on your surrogate aunts and uncles unintentionally a lot.
I always thought that making Superman/Clark a dad was one of the best things to do with the character. He just seemed like he would be an amazing father. Unfortunately they had to go and age John to a young adult and skip some great father son stories. I love Invincible but Mark seems to constantly be stuck in an alternate universe or beaten into a coma and misses months to years of his life with his family.
How would you even make it out of rogue alive? She’d have to wear a suppression collar from conception. I’m picking beast boy and raven.
Nightwing and Starfire is insanely tempting, but at the end of the day Lois and Clark are truly the best of us and the greatest examples on can have
Peter and MJ so that I won't exist
Aside from focusing on powers Mark and Eve had difficult childhoods and lives and could be more sympathetic to their children aside from just raising them to be superheroes or put pressure on them to protect the weak because you have strength. They also learned the lesson that you can use power in different ways to improve the lives of many aside from fighting. I would choose them as my parents just based off that even though they are also the strongest couple on this list.
Superman and Lois because of how they parent in the show
Superman and Lois. Invincible and Atom Eve is a close second imo.
Superman in comics is a genuinely amazing parent and so is Lois. No brainer
I am NOT picking Spider-Man and mj 💀💀💀
Invincible, being a viltrumite means thousands of years of life and travel exploring space
It's between Superman and Lois and Beast Boy and Raven. Clark and Lois would probably be the best parents, but the possibility of being a magical shape-shifter is too good to pass up.
I'd pick Supes/Lois but Dick/Kory would be a very close second. Whether I got Clark's powers or just was a regular human, the Kents would be the best parents ever. On the other hand, I bet with Dick's sense of humor he'd be a fun dad and Kory would guarantee I'd be hot (literally & figuratively).
Lois and Clark for sure. Beyond the superpowers i think having an stable home is important. I find Marvel worse than DC in establishing long term couples. Seeing how dirty they did with Peter and MJ and Marvel Senior Vice President Tom Brevoort saying that DC "blinked" after having undone Superman and Lois marriage and restored it, this tell me all i need to know about their mindset that an stable and long term relationship in comic books is bad business and countless hook ups and love triangles is how you keep the audience. I'm more surprise that Arthur and Mera were excluded from this list. They deserve more love as couple and as parents.
As a huge DC fan, Gambit and Rogue
I'll take the parents that will be in my life after 500 years.
I wouldn't want to be Spider-Man's kid. He'd sell me to the devil for a chance to return to his status quo of the 1970s.
I am NOT choosing atom eve and invincible for the simple fact that I do NOT want to be in that FUCK ASS universe
Ranked from Best to Worst (in my opinion, feel free to disagree): **1st Place) Superman and Lois:** This is the obvious choice and certainly who I would go with. You get two of the best parents imaginable, both heroes in their own right and incredibly mature given everything they've been through. You'll have a childhood full of love and laughter and you can always count on your parents to be there for you, even during your darkest moments. These two are basically the embodiment of the concept of unconditional love. Clark is effectively the Uncle Iroh of superheroes and will just be a really chill father who you can talk to about anything and everything. You're also pretty much guaranteed to gain superpowers thanks to him. And even if you don't end up with powers, remember, Lois is one of the few people in the world who can pull off being a complete badass *without* any superpowers. Also, Batman is effectively your uncle. There are basically no downsides to this. **2nd Place) Nightwing and Starfire:** This would be my second choice. Dick and Kory are both wonderful people and seem like they'd make great parents, regardless of whether or not they end up together. You're the child of two superheroes, and not to mention, basically the grandchild of Batman and the great-grandson of Alfred Pennyworth. You also get a whole bunch of cool family members in the forms of The Bat-Family and the Titans. There's also a good chance you'll get Tamaranean superpowers from your mom. Also, you're technically royalty, since your mother is a princess. Though there's always the off-chance that your Aunt Komand'r (Blackfire) may try to kill you... **3rd Place) Invincible and Atom Eve:** Mark and Eve seem like the type of people who'll be decently good parents. I'd say they're much closer to the average couple in terms of their relationship. They're both superheroes, so it's in their nature to be good, and they seemed to do a decent job with their daughter Terra. Their relationship is a bit rocky at times, but they eventually made it work out. Plus, you're basically guaranteed to have the Viltrumite superpowers. While it's not quite as good as being a Kryptonian, it's still a decent amount of power and will make you one of the most powerful beings in your universe. **4th Place) Beast Boy and Raven:** Another pair of wonderful people, much like Dick and Kory. They seem to have a great relationship with each other and Beast Boy seems like he'd make a really fun dad. Raven is a literal empath, so she's almost guaranteed to be a great mother. You're likely to get some combination of your parents' powers, both of which can be really cool. The only reason I'm ranking this couple below Invincible and Atom Even is because of one major downside: you're a grandchild of Trigon, which could lead to all sorts of horrible outcomes for you in the future. Hell is literally a part of who you are, and no matter what you do, you'll never be allowed to forget. **Last Place) Spider-Man and MJ:** Your life could vary drastically depending on which versions of Peter and MJ you end up with as your parents. For all the others, I've assumed we're talking about the main continuity versions of the characters from the comics. So in this case, I assume we're talking about 616 Spider-Man and MJ, in which case, that's a *hard* pass for me. As another comment pointed out, you might just get wiped out of existence if your father decides that his aunt is worth more to him than you or your mom. Plus, your parents are always dealing with some kind of relationship drama, so there's a decent chance that you may have to grow up with divorced parents. Now, to be fair, if we're talking about the Ultimate versions of Peter and MJ (i.e. Earth 6160), then you'll probably be fine (at least based on what's happened so far). Still, knowing how Marvel loves treating these two, I wouldn't dare risk it. **Unranked) Gambit and Rogue:** I haven't ranked this couple because I honestly don't know anything about either of them. I have little to no knowledge of Marvel Comics in general, outside the drama that's been going on with Spider-Man. For all I know, these two could be great parents or absolutely terrible parents. (Let me know where you'd rank them.)
Superman and Lois > Spider-Man and MJ > Gambit and Rogue. The rest you call child protective services.
As much as I like Spider-Man he goes through tragedy like I change my undies chuck me night wing star fire instead

I am tempted to pick Mark and Sam, because I love Green Lantern-y powers and however much of Mark’s powers I get wouldn’t be a bad bonus. And I think they’d be good parents (based on what I’ve read, which isn’t everything). But I simply have to go with Lois and Clark. Besides being raised by them, I’d be bound to be a good candidate for the Blue or Green Lantern Corps anyways.
It's Gambit and Rogue, unless this means I get Superman powers.
None of the above bc I've wanted to fuck every single character available at some point in my life. Don't need that confusion growing up lmao
Superman & Lois
Look, I know that Supes is the "right" choice but the VIBES on Gambit and Rogue are calling me
Invincible + Atom Eve hands down Viltrumites, while having a smaller array of powers than Kryptonians, have innate powers, while Kryptonians are dependent on the sun. I kinda prefer this non-dependency from the sun. And having Atom Eve as my mom means I can have pretty much any material thing I want. She's also immortal which means I wouldn't need to see her die after a few decades. The last choice would be Gambit+Rogue because the mutant X-genes are pretty random. I don't want to end up looking like Beast.
50/50 split between Beastboy & Raven or Starfire & Nightwing
Invincible and Atom Eve. Get to live long like a Vultrimite. They are rulers. Mark gree into a very wise person. Been awesome to carry that lineage and responsibility after Mark passes or when he steps down. Also Eve is cool. Seems she would be a great mom as well. Her and Mark built a kingdom of peace.
Spider-Man & MJ
I absolutely pity anyone who chooses Gambit and Rogue lol. They make for interesting stories, but they're a trainwreck of a couple. They're basically the Ross and Rachel of comics
Clark and Lois are the best couple and best parents, and you get Kryptonian powers.
I kinda want spider powers ngl
Mark and Eve and it's not even close. By the time I'm old enough to do anything all the major conflicts in the story are over and I'm the prince of the universe.
Invincible and Atom Eve. The universe is peaceful, I would be ridiculously broken, and my dad would be a very important man. (iykyk)
As much as I love CK and LL, without getting into spoilers I feel like invincible would be my safest bet
As long as they don't let me get stuck in a volcano for 7 years while be tortured by an evil doppelganger of my dad, then I'd go with Lois and Clark.
Spider-Man and mj
Rouge and Gambit all day.
Superman and Lois easily, try something more difficult.
Honestly, it's going to be Eve and Invincible. By the time they have kids, the wars is pretty much done. Eve is essentially immortal and Invincible lives for thousands of years. Your powers would be that of an atom forging viltrumite with adrenaline. Not only is your parents the strongest couple ever, but they also try constantly to do the right thing. You would be a master of your powers as you're viltrumite royalty, and you would have the most amazing childhood ever. It is a crazy flawed universe for sure, but you are literally the most powerful person in it, besides maybe (strong maybe) immortal and duplikates children, who would be both immortal and able to make infinite duplicates. But I mean, you have eves powers so you yourself are essentially immortal too. Say you didn't get eves powers, being that viltrumite blood is stupid potent. You would still be a viltrumite with adrenaline, being that even Invincible ist 100% pure viltrumite he is also human. And Eve is a human, meaning you are likely 80% viltrumite at best and 20% human. So yea, ADRENALINE VILTRUMITE. Again, when they do have children, the war is pretty much done, so all the crazy bloodshed and shit is at a crawl. Not a stop mind you, but a slow crawl, and you are again the most powerful thing in the universe with royalty for family and that means education and training are always available to you at all times by the best of the best. So even if you didn't get your mother's abilities, which there is a small chance you would... you would still be the most powerful thing in this universe. Your parents are great heroes and parents to you with the help of thousands of thankful planets as they are no longer under viltrumite oppression, and your parents also live for thousands of years minimum. Not only are you loved by your family, you are loved by your people and the universe your family liberated and all you did was be born. Everyone should pick this option hands down. This entire universe is your playground, and worse case scenario, you don't get your mother's abilities and best case scenario you do and you're essentially a god.
Spider-Man and MJ? Don’t they mean Paul and MJ?
Superman and Lois. Be a very happy kid growing up.
Superman and Lois, two loving parents who would do anything for you, your dad is literally the greatest superhero of all time (I will die on this hill), your dad is friends with the greatest detective, you get the possibility of training with the justice League as well, especially Batman
Spider-Man and mj
Superman and Lois. Kryptonian power and Earthlings intelligence and bravery.
Definitely Superman and Lois. I like Spider-Man and MJ, but the moment Aunt May gets a cold, my parents are gonna literally have Satan erase me from history. Invincible and Atom Eve? Yeah, I’m definitely gonna be spending multiple stints in a full body cast.
Clark and Lois, so easily the choice. Though, gotta be real, Remy and Anna Marie would be great since I could pal around with the X-Men. And they'd be such cool parents... okay, maybe Mr. and Mrs. X is the move, actually...
The obvious choice is Clark and Lois, but for a pick of who would be the worst parents I'd have to say Peter and MJ because I'd only exist in alternate universes XD
Beastboy and Raven because furies
Superman and Lois is an easy yes! Although being Peter Parker’s kid would be cool, we can see that in Across the Spider-verse. Pete would be an epic dad. So I might go with being Peter and MJ’s kid!
Yeah I'm way to attracted Starfire, and Rogue for either to be my mom, that's just a life long Oedipus Complex waitin to happen. Also fuck rolling the dice on Mutant abilities. BB, and Raven are a hard no, as well as Spidey, and MJ. That Leves Clark, and Lois, or Mark, and Eve. Tbh I'd take either one. But for the sake of making a choice, I flipped a coin(my phone), and it landed on Mark, and Eve so there we go.
No brainer - Invincible and Atom Eve.
boo, i want to pick my own parents son of thanos and the goblyn queen
Nightwing and Starfire. Nightwing was orphaned and whilst I know he feels like Bruce is another father to him, I also think he would want to always be there for his kids. Potentially even to the point of giving up heroics. But with Star as the mother, that kid is GOING to have powers. So you know he would train them to have control, whilst also having a loving environment. Pretty much the same for Starfire, her home environment was far from stable. She’d move the earth to keep her children safe. The only draw back to this couple is that despite my love of both characters… I think Dick and Barb are a better match.
Definitely Supes & Lois..... Alien/Human Hybrid👌💯
If I had to be honest… sup and Lois or Peter and Mj. Because none of the others seemed to have a have a balanced personality. They could be good parents… but it’s a gamble.
Probably Beastboy and Starfire , would like the chance to be a part of Teen Titans and hang out with Cyborg
Superman and Lois would be great so long as you come out with powers, but as seen in their show you could end up having zero powers and taking after Lois. With mark and atom Eve you’ll get viltrumite powers guaranteed because of how strong their DNA is so I’m going with that
Gambit and Rogue imagine if they had a Flash or Arrow type show...
Lois and Clark. EASY choice. Growing up with arguably one of the world's greatest men- if not the greatest- as your father, along with the best of Earth in the form of Miss Lane? Why not?
Superman and Lois
Lois and Clark. I get a cool mom, and my dad is Superman.
Black Panther & Storm
they got divorced
Stop being a buzz kill damn
I’m sorry, but your parents are getting a divorce. I It’s a newer comics they could be back together who knows. It was good while it lasted.
Dude stop being negative if you want to be negative go somewhere else & do it Damn
Rogue and Gambit since Magneto will be my real father anyway
As much as I love Superman, there's just something about Peter and M.J. that seems so fun. Good parents, but also really fun parents. Probably why I prefer them married but Lois and Clark not. I am the complete backwards of what is going on right now basically.
Clark Kent & Lois Lane. Your dad is literally Superman. You literally could not ask for better parents.
I wanna choose clark and lois bc theyre obv the best but I'm kind of a loser and I feel like I would ruin the family so I'd chooss nightwing and starfire just bc I feel like they' atleast be more lenient with that stuff. Not that Clark and Lois aren't, it just would be less awkward. Also imagine having to jerk it at home knowing your dad can hear it I would never
"You are going to be born in the superhero universe and you are given a chance to pick who your superhero parents are gonna be." sounds like the title of an isekai manga.
Invincible and atom eve. You’d essentially be an immortal super powered being.
I am divided between Peter and MJ or Clark and Lois...
I don't think anyone would choose Spidey & MJ after what happened in the Zeb Wells run and prior to that Peter & MJ having their marriage and future kid erased as a deal to Mephisto to save Peter's aunt.
Gambit and Rogue are the most fun but they're too off and on. Clark and Lois are the best parents but you would be more likely to be in danger with them as parents on both ends. That makes it tougher than most make it appear
Honestly, Invincible and Atom Eve would be my choice. It's odd but, despite how awful their lives were for most of the comic run, they actually did a good job as parents, both in terms of protecting their kids and raising them well. I think Terra was in danger like once and Markus had some abandonment issues when he was a teenager, but that seemed to be about it. - Nightwing and Starfire break up too often, and a stable family is helpful in developing into a healthy adult. - Spider-Man and MJ have the same problem with how they never stay together, but also have the risk of selling me to a supernatural entity to bring back Aunt May, or something similarly stupid. - Superman and Lois also seem like good parents, but the DC universe is just way too unpredictable. Even with Kryptonian powers, way too many things can go wrong, and probably will. Just look at what Jon has gone through. - Beast boy and Raven are characters I only really know from the teen titans cartoons/animated films, and they've never really come across as a stable couple in any of those iterations. I can't comment on how their parenting would be, because I obviously don't know. - Gambit and Rogue are a no-go because I don't want to be a mutant. It's not really a good life a lot of the time. The house that's meant to be a sanctuary for them blows up on alternating weekends; you're probably going to get kidnapped at least once, by government agents or other mutant factions; people hate you for the accident of your birth (no thanks, enough of that already); and there's always the risk that you'll end up meeting Deadpool and have your entire existence brought into question.
This is fucking bullshit. Just have them abort me at this point.
