Families

Star-Striker's (Beverly "Bev" Banks) family:
Husband Steve is a stay-at-home dad, maybe a writer of some sort?  Much more laid-back than his wife, Steve leaves the discipline of their children to Bev.  Steve is as dedicated and loving a husband as they come.

Benjamin "Ben" Franklin Banks, 12. A thorn in Betsy's heel. He is every annoying little brother to ever exist. He frequently makes fun of Betsy for her superhero aspirations. However, Benjamin is a little genius, already taking classes at Betsy's level. While Betsy inherited her mother's natural athleticism, Benjamin inherited her smarts. Bev has to be extra careful around Benjamin as there is legitimate risk he might uncover her secret, and this boy stinks at keeping secrets.

Betsy Ross Banks, 14. Cheerleader at the high school she goes to. Idolizes Star-Striker, and doesn't even realize her hero is her own mother. Currently is trying to get her mother to teach her how to drive, but Bev is hesitant. Betsy excels at athletics, and dreams of being a superhero when she grows up, a dream Bev is staunchly (and hypocritically) against. Typical bubbly blonde. She dyes her hair; naturally it's brown, just like her mom. Thanks to her fangirl goggles, she cannot see the sometimes obvious hints that her overbearing mother is in fact the superheroine she idolizes.


Mend's (Anne-Marie Stephens) family:
Husband Donald Bernstein (Anne-Marie chose to keep her maiden name in the marriage) is a bike shop owner.  Anne-Marie's junior by a few years, they got hitched almost immediately after he turned eighteen.  In his younger years, Donald was none other than teenaged supervillain Shadow Boy, arch-nemesis of the Teen Queens.  However, an unexpected moment with Mend led to the two falling in love and, eventually, he retired and renounced his villainous ways.  He does still have his old ability to control shadow and even turn himself into living shadow, and uses it, but keeps it on the down-low.

Harold and Jack Bernstein, 9 years old. Twins. They both inherited their mother's hair color and freckles. These two rambunctious little scamps are full of energy and are often seen in Anne-Marie's house running around. Donald does a good job of keeping them from bugging their mom while she's working, be it at in the kitchen or at her "job." They don't know either of their parent's secrets, and Donald and Anne-Marie have vowed not to tell either of them until they're 18. Fortunately for their superpowered parents, these little rascals don't seem to have inherited anything "special."  They're both a bit chubby thanks to Anne-Marie's cooking, but are full of energy and love playing outside.


Diva's (Candy LaBelle) family:
Shaundra LaBelle, 16. Dates Keiichi, Kaiju's son. She doesn't know what Keiichi sees in her, but she's happy to have a boyfriend nonetheless. Shaundra found out her mom's secret several years ago when she was looking for hidden Christmas presents one early December, stumbling across her mom's costume in the crawlspace. Shaundra hasn't told her mom she knows of her double life as Diva, opting instead to hold onto that little secret for later. Sometimes, Shaundra will drop a hint to Candy that she knows her secret, but when pressed, will just give her mother the silent treatment, leading Candy to chalk it up to Shaundra being annoying for annoying's sake. Shaundra sports a 'fro and wears rebellious, punk-style clothing. She and her mom often get into fights over the most trivial of things. Part of Shaundra's disdain for her mother comes from the fact that despite "being basically an adult," her mom still hasn't revealed her secret to her. Is also angry at her mom for not buying her a car, even when her mom is rich from her singing career and can totally afford it. Works at the local shopping mall.


Sig Rune's (Sigrun Odinsdotter) family:
Alexander Odinsdotter, 15 years old. This kid is spoiled rotten. He thinks it's weird that his adopted mother makes him study Norse mythology and practice with old Viking weapons on the weekends, but he doesn't mind since she buys him anything he wants. He already owns two cars and only just got his learner's permit. He knows there's something different about his "mother" compared to the other mothers he knows, but he can't quite put his finger on it. Doesn't much care for the adventures of heroes and villains, much to his mother's chagrin. Sigrun keeps him distracted with every toy, every video game he could desire. Will Alexander ever face harsh reality, or will he be pampered all his life?

Oliva Les Bien, early 20s?  While not related to Sigrun, Olivia is an integral part of Sigrun and Alexander's day-to-day life.  Imported directly from France, this bubbly, well-meaning and strict nanny makes sure Alexander does what his mother commands.  Poor Olivia is so overworked that she doesn't even have time for a boyfriend!  Olivia cares greatly for both Alexander and Sigrun, and seems to have a deeper connection with Sigrun than most others do...


Tropica's (Carmen Diego Tropicana Delacruz) family:
Husband Juan, a latino as fiery as his wife, is a stay-at-home dad whose full-time job is raising their five kids.  He and Carmen frequently argue, but they do it out of love for the sport of arguing, their love burning brighter than it did when they first got hitched.  Maybe that's why they have so many kids...

Miguel (7), Carlos (10), Anna (11), Yolanda (12), and Maria (14). They all love soccer and speak in rapid-fire Spanish, even when they know the person they're speaking to doesn't understand what they're saying. Maria is a soccer all-star at Sapphire City Magnet School, despite only being a freshman.  Yolanda is unique in that she is the sole member of the family to know her mother's secret.  Yolanda frequently helps Carmen out in the shop, the 12-year old already showing an affinity for plants, just like her mother.  Not only does she keep up with the plants in her mother's shop, but she also takes care of most of the book-keeping as well, extremely bright for her young age.


Kaiju's (Kim Ujifusa) family:
Husband Junichi, a conservative businessman.  Junichi is very timely and traditional.  Much to his wife's secret embarrassment, Junichi does not approve of that superhero Kaiju's dress, feeling it is too provocative and lewd.

Megumi Ujifusa, 5 years old. Just a little Japanese-American girl. She loves sentai, and will cry if she misses her show (even if it was DVR'd).

Keiichi Ujifusa, 16 years old. Wears glasses and is a super nerd. Shy. Dates Shaundra LaBelle. He doesn't know what Shaundra sees in him, but he's happy to have a girlfriend nonetheless. His father does not approve of who he dates, as she is rebellious and not Japanese.  Keiichi regularly gets exemplary marks in school and tutors other students for money (although he tutors Shaundra for free).  Using money earned from tutoring students, he bought his own car, and is frequently seen giving his girlfriend rides.
