The DC universe is built with legacy characters. Young heroes take on new roles or sidekicks grow up to take over from their mentors in an ongoing cycle. However, that sometimes applies to the villains in the DC universe too. A number who’ve had children over the years either have their offspring follow in their footsteps or make their own way as heroes.
In some cases, the children of DC villains have proven themselves more than a chip off the old block. A few of DC’s supervillain children have proven they’re eviler than their parents due to their dark motivations or unforgettable actions over the years.
10 Thaddeus And Georgia Sivana Were Evil Scientists Who Hoped To Impress Their Father
Dr. Thaddeus Sivana was an evil scientist who fought against Captain Marvel/Shazam for years. When Shazam created his own superhero family, Doctor Sivana followed suit. He had four children overall. And while his two youngest would eventually ally with the Shazam family, his oldest twins followed in their father’s shadow.
Thaddeus Jr. and Georgia Sivana both became evil scientists in their own right, although they often attempted to use their father’s evil inventions for their own benefit. Thaddeus Jr. even worked as his father’s villainous sidekick for a time.
9 Prometheus Became A Supervillain After His Criminal Parents Were Killed By The Police
Not much is known about the origins of the villain Prometheus, except for the fact his parents were criminals who were gunned down by the police while Prometheus was just a child (in a twisted mirror image of Batman’s own origins).
Prometheus used the money left to him from his parents to train himself in order to become one of DC’s greatest villains. He did so to seek revenge for the death of his parents. He’s largely remembered as the villain who blew up Star City, which resulted in the death of Roy Harper’s daughter, Lian in the Pre-Flashpoint continuity.
8 Rose Wilson Has A Damaged Relationship And Worked Both Sides As The Ravager
While she was a member of the Teen Titans and occasionally worked alongside other young heroes, Rose Wilson/Ravager has also followed in the footsteps of her assassin father, Slade Wilson/Deathstroke the Terminator.
Rose took on the alias of her deceased brother, Wade in an attempt to get close to her father, who began to train her. Rose even took out her own eye to emulate Deathstroke’s iconic look, which was just one of the many dark actions she took in order to impress her mercenary father (when she wasn’t trying to find a heroic path).
7 Gemini Was Filled With Revenge After The Death Of Her Conflicted Mother Madame Rouge
The shape-shifting villain known as Madame Rouge suffered from a split personality. This made her both a conflicted member of the Doom Patrol as well as one of the leaders of the Brotherhood of Evil. When her darker personality was in control, she was incredibly evil. However, her lighter personality managed to find love with the leader of the Doom Patrol before her death.
In the wake of her death, her daughter, Gemini was filled with rage. She launched a mission of revenge against Beast Boy, who she held personality responsible considering he was one of the last remaining members of the Doom Patrol, which fought against her mother. Gemini’s powerful abilities and vengeance-fueled tunnel-vison made her incredibly dangerous, while also showcasing her talent for evil.
6 The Joker’s Daughter’s Confusing Parentage Has Created An Evil Second Generation Villain
Duela Dent is the costumed villain known as The Joker’s Daughter. She also spent some time working alongside the Teen Titans as a hero. However, modern versions of the character weren’t as conflicted, either sharing or surpassing the evil of her parents.
The Joker’s Daughter’s parentage is a bit of a mystery, as different versions of the character have different origins. While the modern take on the character has revealed possible connections to villains like Joker, Two-Face, and The Riddler, she’s proven she can make a name for herself as one of DC’s darkest villains.
5 Darkseid’s Son Kalibak Is Fueled By Conquest And A Desire To Impress His Father
The evil ruler of the planet Apokolips is the powerful being known as Darkseid, who has had multiple children over the years. His first-born, Kalibak was a deadly warrior who became one of the leaders of Darkseid’s armies. He had a powerful thirst for both conquering and impressing his father.
This was only deepened when he learned of the existence of his half-brother, Orion, who Darkseid seemed to favor. Kalibak’s evil intentions outgrew his father’s own plans of domination with each new defeat or disappointment as he continued to try to prove himself.
4 Lord Chaos Was A Powerful Villain From The Future Whose Mother Was Created To Be Evil
While Donna Troy is better known as a hero and the first Wonder Girl, modern versions of the character revealed that she was created by an evil sorceress to destroy Wonder Woman. That was before she decided to follow her own path as a member of the Titans.
Donna Troy became a target of heroes from the future, who were attempting to stop the rise of a deadly villain known as Lord Chaos – Donna’s future son. Lord Chaos was born with the fully-developed powers and awareness of a god, which drove him insane as he prematurely aged himself to adulthood and set about taking over the world before he was depowered.
3 Alexander Luthor Jr. Followed In The Footsteps Of His Evil Alternate Universe Father
While his parents weren’t technically villains (as they existed on the opposite universe of Earth-3), Alexander Luthor Jr. seemed to take on the traits of the alternate reality version of his father, Lex Luthor. After helping save reality during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Luthor Jr. was driven mad outside of reality.
He launched a plan with Superboy-Prime to remake the universe in his own image during Infinite Crisis, which resulted in his own alternate reality father hunting him down for his evil actions and leaving him at the mercy of The Joker.
2 Vengeance Is The Cloned Daughter of Bane Who Was Addicted To Venom Since Birth
The man known as Bane was a criminal mastermind who sought to improve his status by taking on the Batman and taking over his city. At the same time, he wanted to free his home country of Santa Prisca. Bane also worked with his enemies (on occasion) when it was required to stop greater evils.
However, his cloned daughter, Vengeance doesn’t seem to share those same morals. Cloned by Santa Priscan scientists and raised with a dependence on the strength-enhancing drug venom, Vengeance was sent on a mission of revenge against The Joker after the murder of her father.
1 Talia Al Ghul Has Grown To Be More Evil And Vindictive Than Her Immortal Father
The nearly-immortal eco-terrorist known as Ra’s al Ghul would think of himself as a savior instead of an evil villain. His frequent attempts at genocide were in the effort of saving the world and putting it under his control.
However, his daughter, Talia al Ghul, has frequently succumbed to her more evil side without the loftier aspirations of her father. Talia’s loss of her son, Damian after he joined Batman’s side caused a further break in her morals. This led her to create an evil adult clone of her son and launch her own criminal empire, all in an effort to carry out her father’s misguided goals.
