    How big is the Super family? To make this simpler Post-Crisis only.

    Obviously Superman, the Supergirls and Superboy are in it but who else? Does this include heroes that were inspired and/or made to be one of his supporting cast?

    Thought it would be something interesting to discuss.

    Livewire (or at least she is close with Supes)

    Isn't she a villain?

    * John Lane Kent

    * Superman and Wonder Woman's unnamed kid from a possible future like JLK.

    Didn't he say Post-Crisis ( Pre 52 ) only?

    Not really family tree. Its like saying the Question is a Batman family member because she operates on Gotham.

    @squalleon: He's partnered with Superman more than Livewire and Strange Visitor and has been a part of more storylines over the years.

    And? Superman has partnered more times with Batman, you don't see Batman as a family member.
    And Guardian isn't nearly as close to Superman as Supergirl, Cir-El or Steel. And Strange Visitor has a very strong connection with Clark. Livewire was explored recently by JMS in grounded were Supes made her a member of SoA.

    @squalleon: Actually before he and Cadmus disappeared they were pretty close. Supes also made Super-Chief and Iron Munro part of the SoA not exactly Super family material. What makes Strange Visitor so different? Also Natasha outside of being Steel's niece really isn't part of the family IMO.

    SV was Clark's childhood friend from Smallvile and then died by giving all her power to Supers.

    @superguy1591:

    Big mistake there. John Lane Kent is Superman and Lois Lane son from a different timeline. Not Superman and Wonder Woman.

    The only offspring of Superman and Wonder Woman, was seen in the Kingdom Come conclusion story shown in the Pre-New52 Justice Society of America. Where we see the kids that they both have. Two boys and a girl if I'm not mistaken.

    And then on another story when Gog kidnapps Superman and Wonder Woman son, moments after he's born and then travels to the past, this story being a sort of Kingdom Come alternate timeline.

    I would like to point out that the Kingdom Come is not the only universe where Diana and Kal have had children together, there are several other universes as well.

    And also, how could you guys leave out Krypto! :(
