I know there are lots of superheroes who are related, but I can't think of ones who actually fight as a family.
Power Pack - but they were siblings. And kids.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Amusingly enough, the Marvel summary mentions that Franklin Richards, son of Reed and Sue, whom I didn't even know existed, joined the Power Pack at one point.

Actually, Brad Bird said in an interview that the powers map onto the roles/personality of each family member, rather than a specific FF reference.
Though Violet needed to make it clear the force field power was more a way to keep people away from here...

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I had had a though about TT 18. Right at the beginning of the issue, when Future!Bart is talking to Rose, he says that the "Titans from the past are here. Just like I remember it." But later, when Bat!Tim and Robin!Tim are fighting, Bat!Tim says the future Titans are going to erase the kids' memories to preserve the timeline. So how does future!Bart remember ? Is it a plot point, or was Johns just being sloppy?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm pretty sure it's a plot point.

Plot point, plus Bart has a history of remembering things wiped from other minds, which has come into play in the past. (See: Bart remembered Linda.)

Now the question is, is The younger Bart fast enough to use it, or will older Bart have to help?

Art Crawl!!!
Is it something to do with super-speed that let's Bart remember what others do not?
