MC2 Family Trees Master Post

My own self-imposed rule of posting at least once a week hasn't gone to plan due to very limited free time. I'd prefer to put out something rather than nothing but with no time to spare, I figure a full list of my MC2 Family Trees would have to suffice for now. There will be more of these family trees in future, including a few updates to previous entries.

The Lang Family Tree

While digging for another family to highlight, I hit upon the Lang Family. Initially, this seemed like a bigger challenge due to the fairly extensive list of relatives I discovered for Scott Lang. As it turned out, the list of relatives pre-MC2 is really quite small.

Obviously, the reason for this entry in the MC2 Family Tree is one Cassandra 'Cassie' Lang aka Stinger of the Avengers. Cassie is the daughter of Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man, who I'm sure most are now at least somewhat aware of thanks to the titular movie. Scott made his first appearance in Avengers (vol. 1) #181 and stole the Ant-Man identity in Marvel Premiere #47. Cassie also makes her first appearance in the latter title, along with her Aunt Ruth and (I'm assuming they're married) Uncle Carl.

There's really only a few tidbits to address. Despite my initial belief that Cassie's mother ( Peggy Rae) was a fairly long-established character, I discovered that she makes her first appearance well after the MC2 branching point in Avengers (vol. 3) #62. As a result, Peggy is not identified by name in the Family Tree above.

With the increase in audience recognition for the Scott Lang iteration of Ant-Man arising from the recent movie, the character has been the subject of a few solo titles which have introduced several new members to the Lang extended family....all of whom are not included for the same reasons I've mentioned previously. So with all that said, I think that's a wrap, people.

Until I run out of ideas or get something terribly wrong and collapse into a puddle of shame, I remain

The Kirby Family Tree

A very quick and easy MC2 Family Tree this time around. Apart from Davida, I don't think any of Kirby family have ever appeared on-panel. We only learn Davida's brother's name because he is mentioned in her profile in Spider-Girl #81. We also learn Davida's full name: Davida Jacqueline Kirby. It would appear Davida's surname is a reference to legendary comic book creative Jack 'The King' Kirby.

If I am mistaken, and Mr or Mrs Kirby have made a cameo someplace, please send me a message.

Until I find a more challenging family tree to explore, I remain

The Mansfield Family Tree

So, I got a taste for this family tree thing after my last post, which led to me throwing together another one. This time I thought it might be fun to take a look at Maurice Arthur 'Moose' Mansfield, one of the most developed and lovable characters in the MC2 with probably the most fleshed out families of all of May's friends.

After the Mystery of Jimmy's Sister, I think I may have unintentionally stumbled upon a few more curiosities. You see, Moose's family were first introduced at the end of the original Spider-Girl series in a subplot about Moose's dad being diagnosed with cancer. The whole situation is doubly hard on Moose as his mother is mentioned to have died after a battle with cancer while Moose was in Junior High (as mentioned in his bio from Spider-Girl #77). However in what I can only assume is a case of early installment weirdness, Spider-Girl #8 mentions Moose's parents, emphasis on the plural there. Here are the mentions:

Obviously, this could simply be a case of both Courtney and Sachi speaking in error, while Moose only ever mentions his father and neither parent is seen in the courthouse nor anywhere in the issue. Just a fun piece of trivia.

Another curiosity is the whereabouts of Moose's younger sister, Madeline who is first referenced in Spider-Girl #77. At the conclusion of the previously mentioned storyline regarding Moose's father, Moose ends up moving in with his Uncle Billy and Aunt Katy. Throughout the story, several mentions are made of Moose's younger brothers, and they are even seen in Spider-Girl #99 but no one seems to remember Madeline.

Until I find another thread to pull at, I remain
