There's nothing special about me.
One of the things that excites me about Champions is that Viv Vision is in it... Like, that is going to be the most hosed up child in superheroics who doesn't have an X-gene, honestly.

I REALLY want things to work out with her, but she seems like out of all of those characters she's gonna be the first to go.

As oddly fitting as that might be, I just want Viv to hook up with Scott so that the Summers and Pym family trees can finally become one.

The world is not ready for this kind of family tree.

They're already kind of linked if you go Vision -> Scarlet Witch -> Magneto -> Lorna Dane -> Havok

(I say kind of since that last link tends to come and go and Scarlet Witch isn't Magneto's kid anymore or something?)

You need to go Scarlet Witch ➡ Magda ➡ Magneto if you want to forestall any paternity nitpicking.

Find a way to connect this to the Mystique/Nightcrawler and Apocalypse families if you want to shoot the moon, btw.

Easy:

Apocalypse -> Styfe -> Cable
Nightcrawler -> Nocturne -> Scarlet Witch

They should make a 6 degrees of Scott Summers mini-series as young Scott keeps running into people he's somewhat related to and he slowly goes insane as he realized just how hosed up the Summers family tree is. That said, in order to keep the story grounded, the series is told from Rockslide's point of view, who's tagging along because he thinks it's hilarious.

Has Young Scott met Cable? That seems like it would be fun.

I caught up on All-New, All-Different Avengers.

I like it overall, though I'm still mostly interested in it for the kids, so I guess Champions for me in a few months. I'll give the regular Avengers a shot too though.

Also, robots, Skrulls, and 4/5 Captains Marvel (if we take Wiccan and Hulkling as basically already married).

Did Genis end up in any serious relationship with Epiphany? If so, you could shim Eternity onto the expanded Summers family tree.

Magneto's also in there from hooking up with whichever Cuckoo, who are clones of Emma Frost.

OOh yea, this Scott hasn't made any terrible life choices yet as far as I know. I would not consider his briefly looking up with Laura as a mistake. What Scott needs to do is hook up with the Cukoos, all 3 of them, but at separate times.

Still counts. That's like half the Summers family.

A bunch of Clan Akkaba got turned into vampires as part of the long-running sass match between Apocalypse and Dracula. Since vampirism is genetic or behaves like it is, the Apocalypse branch of the Summers tree connects to Dracula and everyone related to him—biologically, adoptively, vampirically, or maritally. Or any other way we've had relationships count here, so a robot created from the brain patterns of Dracula's grandson's clone from an alternate future, or w/e.

Which means the family also includes an angel.

And Baron Blood, and through him, the Union Jack/Spitfire family. You could argue the original Human Torch enters the family through Spitfire, but :lol: if you didn't already include him because a chronal duplicate of his body was used by Ultron to create the Vision. :cmon:

I have no idea.

Through Summers brother Vulcan, the Shi'ar royal family joins the tree. Through Quicksilver, we get his daughter Luna, ex-wife Crystal, and the entire Inhuman royal line.

Thus, AvX, War of Kings, and the upcoming Inhumans vs. X-men are all overblown spats within one extended family.

When you have sex with someone, you're having sex with everyone else they've had sex yet, and there's a good chance of that including Wolverine or Iron Man, so maybe take a chance.

our every move is the new tradition
I remember there was a chart in Wizard back in the day that indicated that between Jen Walters, Hercules, Tony Stark, and Matt Murdock, most of Marvel's long-running superheroes are no more than a degree or two of romantic separation from one another, even if you don't take alternate universes into account.

It's way easier to make protagonists hook up with each other than to write an interesting love interest from scratch.

Wolverine is probably safer as he probably can't carry as many STDs as Tony.
