> [@Anaamika](#): > > Wait. > > Magneto sleeps with Mystique, right? > > They make Nightcrawler? Or the Scarlet Witch? > > I’m confused. ```auto Magneto - Magda Azazel (or Destiny) - Mystique | | |-------------| | Quicksilver Scarlet Witch ------ Nightcrawler | | Nocturne ``` Note that if Destiny’s Nightcrawler’s other parent, that makes Mystique the father. As to her powers, she can possess people (not sure where that came from) and fire bolt thingies, like her mother. I don’t think she got anything from Kurt. If you think that’s confusing, you should see a family tree taking into account all alternate realities. I fixed one up once (it’s a bit of a hobby, I also had a Black family tree before JK did her official one and [gloat] it was pretty well matched [/gloat]) and it looks more like a diagram than a tree. Everyone’s related to someone somewhere. On preview - I see Mississipienne agrees. Good ol’ TJ. 😃 ---

Let’s have some love for the comics mens, shall we? DC’s **Nightwing** very nearly walks off with the Comics’ Hottest Guy title effortlessly. He’s usually given artists who’re good at expressing his dark, lithe sexiness. Besides, it’s practically canon that Dick has the best ass in DC. On the other hand, Marvel brings a powerful quadruple punch with **Hyperion** , **Nighthawk** , **Doctor Spectrum** , and **Blur** of _Supreme Power_. It helps that they’re all half or mostly-naked a lot of the time. **Daredevil** is uniquely dynamic and physical, and you can totally see why hotties like Black Widow and Elektra went ga-ga over him. His horrible fashion sense just makes him more charming. However, I can’t stand it when the colorist gives him blond hair. He’s a redhead, damnit! And let us not forget **Superboy** , who was always drawn as fiercely hot after he got over that annoying sixteen-year-old stage. His costume – blue jeans, boots, and a black t-shirt with an S-logo – is the sexiest superhero costume EVER. **Kyle Rayner** gets an honorable mention for the dog collar alone. ---

I agree that Phil Foglio’s comic XXXenophile is the wittiest and sexiest comic, but if you’re going for heroines (and **Jessica Rabbit** isn’t allowed), why not Jim Balent’s **Tarot** (worksafe link): [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BroadSword\_Comics](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BroadSword_Comics) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sexyest-comics-character/353651.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sexyest-comics-character/353651.md?page=4)
