In the world of comics, most superheroes have special powers, but many share a common trait with the rest of us: they have 'normal' siblings. These brothers and sisters have no superhuman strength or ability to fly. Some are aware of their superhero sibling and even work together on missions, while others are kept in the dark. Relationships between them vary - some are good, others not so much. Apart from having a superhero sibling, these relationships are probably similar to those between 'normal' siblings.
