But I would like to make mention of one of my favorite super hero Mothers. And no, it's not Peggy Louise Gardner.
It's Bianca Reyes.
Jaime Reyes is one of the best new characters to come out of comics in a very long time. Yes, he's a legacy hero, filling the VERY large shoes of Ted Kord as the new Blue Beetle, but dagnabit, I love him. But his family is yet another wonderful creation. They are supportive, they are feisty and they actually know his secret identity.
Bianca is an amazing character. Yes, she worries about him going out and fighting bad guys, but she still backs him up 100%. And woe to any Do-Badder who crosses her awesome path! She even teamed up with Doctor Mid-nite at the hospital where she works, and gave Jaime a hand! And she was able to keep both Guy Gardner AND Peacemaker under control...and that's no small feat.
Their family isn't rich, they don't have access to Beetle caves, or engineering, or weaponry. They do have a computer and the internet, and some of Jaime's friends are...connnected. But they work, they take care of their house, they pay taxes and they raise their kids.
And that's just nice.
