Happy Comic Book Father's Day!

Fathers are important and let's look at some of the important ones in comics.

Today is Father's Day. Just as mother's are important, father's are as well. They've often played a big role in comics in shaping the important characters into the heroes they are today.

Just as in real life, sometimes people and characters lose their fathers. Everyone, in the real world and in comic, should be appreciative of their loved ones. So on this day, be sure to let your dad know you love him.

In comics, who are some of the greatest dads? And that obviously doesn't have to mean biological dads as some great heroes, Superman included, had great 'dads' that made them who they are.

Here's a few great dads that immediately come to mind.

Jonthan Kent raised a god to have enough self control to not take the hour it would require for him to turn planet Earth into his personal bitch

@g_man, I'm surprised you didn't put Bruce Wayne as a great dad. Yeah, he's made some mistakes and been tough on his kids. But I still feel he's a great Dad to his 4 kids.

How many children has he put in harm's way only to die? 1, 2, 3 times a lady?

lol, Deathstroke probably qualifies as worst father ever. Just being in Rose's life got her mother killed, then he rejected her afterwards and left, only to come back and orchestrate the death of her new foster parents, manipulated her into killing the man who did the job, then injected her with a mind controlling serum, forced her to kill for him, eventually leading to her cutting out her own eye in a fit of psychosis, implanted a Kryptonite eye into her empty socket to go after Superman that would have eventually killed her from radiation poisoning... need I go on?

And that was just with one kid... don't get me started on his sons.

I never get tired of that.

Another good dad is this...

My dad, can be an arse hole who does not respect my hobbies. But always respected my decisions on my own life. I love him.

A lot of the great dads in comics are characters who exist exclusively to be great dads—Uncle Ben, Jonthan Kent, Alfred—and that's not a bad thing, but it makes me really appreciate the characters that are superheroes first and foremost but also great dads.
