Pardon, I would like a small qualifier, does the Related to Hero category apply if either the villain or hero are adopted? This has caught my eye a few times and I am not sure if the following villains would apply. Even if adoption does apply I would like to know if there is a line for the less straight forward versions of it.


 * Lord Recluse and his rival Statesman - All but on paper foster brothers (not sure if this applies since neither biological relation, nor any official paper work was ever signed but raised by the same man in the same household.)


 * Queen Brahne and Princess Garnet - Brahne's daughter dies as an infant and when she finds a dead woman and her still living baby washed up by her shores she passes the new child off as her own. (An odd case as Garnet is not simply adopted but given an-other's identity, however in this case even after Brahne is turned evil she still thinks of Garnet as her daughter.)


 * Abby and Martha Brewster to Mortimer Brewster - Mortimer's real father died before he was born and his mother married into the family but never told him that he isn't in-fact a Brewster. (The Stinger happy ending of the play is since Mortimer isn't really a Brewster the family dementia won't affect him. So Mortimer clearly doesn't consider himself a Brewster because of this but still cares for them.)
 * Lex Luthor and Super-Girl - One of the many Super-Girls from an alternate earth where Lex Luthor was a good guy was engineered from Superman and Lex's DNA, she travels to the main universe and becomes a stand in after the first Supergirl died. (In this case, does that make main reality Lex Luthur related to our alternate reality semi-clone?)
