Angel Face first appeared during Phil Urich's Green Goblin series where she claim to be both an only child or the youngest of six sisters, with an abusive father and a loving mother....or loving father and abusive mother. So....her information is suspect at best and unreliable or completed fabricated at worst. It seems after her run in's with Phil as the Green Goblin (wherein she was scarred), in the MC2 she was eventually brought in by Daredevil. It's unclear at which point she had her two sons, but we do know that Crazy Eight is the older brother.
Crazy Eight is identified in the script for Spider-Girl #41 as being a 'twenty-something year old man,' so it seems he was already born around the time of Angel Face's appearances in Green Goblin #8 and #11. We also learn upon his death that Crazy Eight's white/green skin is simply make up and beneath he is Caucasian in appearance. Crazy Eight appears to have more confidence and maintains his composure far better than his younger brother, Funny Face, who he occasionally checks up on on behalf of their dear mother.
Funny Face has at times made references to these childhood traumas which he has apparently transfers to his dearest friend and confidant, Bunky, a hand-held puppet. Funny Face mentions 'Bunky' having claustrophobia as result of 'his' mother tying 'him' up and locking 'him' in a closet for days. I'll leave the analysis to the experts, but I think it's pretty clear that the young Funny Face suffered as a child.
Until I do a more thorough look at this mixed up family of fun, I remain
frogoat
