An Annotated X-Men Family Tree

We’re big fans of Joe Stone‘s epic X-Men family tree, but supergeeks though we are, we will concede that it can be a little confusing unless you have read more comics indeed. Luckily, friends of Geekosystem Lauren Henry and Andrew Cedotal have painstakingly annotated it. Lauren notes that she was an editor at Marvel when Deathcry was killed off, and that she is NOT in fact the daughter of Deathbird.
Update: Lauren notes in the comments: “I actually wasn’t at Marvel when they killed Deathcry, but shortly thereafter… As far as I recall, the canon relationship b/t Deathbird and Deathcry is heavily implied as mother/daughter, but the evidence for that comes from the fact that Deathcry was revealed as Lilandra’s niece (and their physical resemblance). It’s therefore possible she’s the daughter of another sibling.”

(Thanks, Andrew!)

    Shouldn’t there be a red line between Sabertooth and Wolverine. They are nemesis’ and brothers aren’t they?

    Lauren here — I actually wasn’t at Marvel when they killed Deathcry, but shortly thereafter… As far as I recall, the canon relationship b/t Deathbird and Deathcry is heavily implied as mother/daughter, but the evidence for that comes from the fact that Deathcry was revealed as Lilandra’s niece (and their physical resemblance).

    how about rougue being mystique’s daughter?

  • Warped311

    exiletrekker – rogue was only adopted by mystique and wasn’t her blood related daughter i believe

    seattlejeremy – nope, that was something only made for the xmen origins movie and everyone should refuse to believe that ^_^

    This is a great family tree :)

    I don’t see how adoption makes it any different. A daughter is a daughter. I’m sure a lot of adoptive kids and their parents would be upset if you told them that they aren’t *really* their offspring. We all know its not biological, but the bonds are there.

  • Mikey

    That’s not even getting into Scarlet Witch’s and the Vision’s children who died and were then reincarnated. And stuff like Wolverine’s love life.

    The bonds of feeling something for the fake child may be there but its not a real parent or blood relative. Adoptive parents are adoptive parents and an adopted child is not and will never be the person’s offspring. Don’t let that bleeding heart of yours cloud your mind with ignorance. The truth hurts and if the adoptive children’s feeling are hurt if you tell them that their adoptive mother was not the one that gave birth to them then they are ridiculous and ignorant too. Just cause a woman adopted a child does not mean its considered that she gave birth to it after 9th months of labor. Veronica you really struck a nerve with me on this issue because I see how stupid and ignorant a lot of people are out there and also weak minded. People like you chose to lie and hide the truth just because you feel bad about hurting someone else feeling. That will only bring more ignorance, stupidity and harm than you retarded idiots will ever comprehend. Fuck you Veronica. You are a dumb bitch.

  • WizeKrack

    this tree doesnt use the terminology of daughter or son. its says “offspring” which is strictly biological.

  • Georgie

    what does the red dotted line me for Juggernaut and Xavier? 

  • Georgie

    *mean

  • Gez

    It means they are half brothers. 

  • Simona

    i see your point, but you are being kinda mean..

  • Archangel

    You have to include Psylocke’s family tree and Cannon Ball’s family tree.  Connect Psylocke to Archangel and Husk to Archangel.

    Actually, the Origin comic strongly implies that James Howlett and Dog are at least half-brothers.  The confrontation in the mansion is the result of Thomas Logan wanting Mrs. Howlett back.  Combine that with the fact that grown Logan looks just like Thomas Logan and it seems pretty clear Thomas Logan is the real father.  Therefore if Dog is his son, he and James Howlett (which is to say Sabretooth and Wolverine) are at least half-brothers.

    It’ll most likely be a green line rather then a red one because red means offspring they would’ve had to mate and have a baby

  • It Just T

    No psylocke or angel!??!!? Also, Polaris an offspring of Magneto? Shouldn’t it be “other”
