History Main / KidFromTheFuture

* For a non-X-Men example in the MarvelUniverse, this has also happened in ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' with Valeria [[spoiler:Von Doom]], daughter of [[spoiler:Sue Richards and DoctorDoom ([[{{Retcon}} or Reed Richards]], though she certainly ''thought'' Doom was her father)]]. Like Rachel Summers, she's a creation of ChrisClaremont, and they've even both used the CodeName "Marvel Girl" (though in all fairness, Rachel had yet to use that name at the time of Valeria's creation). Clearly, Claremont ''loves'' this trope.

* Wataru becomes one to Otoya in ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'' when he decides to travel back in time both in-series and in-movie. Given the strong GenerationXerox Kiva has, [[spoiler:Wataru's son from 22 years in the future appears in the finale, along with Kivat the 4th, who gives him the power to become New Kiva.]]

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'', some villains from the future travel to the present to [[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight assist the present villains]]. One of them addresses Dr. Blight as her ancestor. Dr. Blight says that can't be possible because she doesn't have any children and doesn't plan on having any. The woman glances significantly between Blight and Looten Plunder and chuckles, saying she will. Blight and Plunder get nervous and disgusted. It becomes a moot point because the changes done to the timeline end up causing the future villains to suffer a RetGone.

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Father's Day" has companion Rose meet her mother, father, and infant self.

** In the 2011 series, [[spoiler: we learn that River is Amy and Rory's. One has to wonder what they think of the Doctor hooking up with their kid at some point...]]
*** This example is notable in that [[spoiler:River was introduced onto the show -- [[TimeyWimeyBall and killed off!]] -- two years before her parents]].

* In one HalloweenEpisode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Bart travels back in time and meets Homer in high school, introducing himself as "the unwanted son that ruins all your fun." Homer starts strangling him at the very moment he first meets Marge, and she is so disgusted that she never marries him, and Bart becomes the son of Marge and Artie Ziff.

*** To make things even more ridiculous, [[spoiler:your future kid can end up as the future kid of the other 12 future kids if you ended up marrying one of them.]]

* [[http://s1.zetaboards.com/Danny_Phantom_World/topic/2638262/1/ This]] [[SailorMoon Sailor Moon R]]-esque DannyPhantom fan fic features Serena, [[spoiler:Danny and Sam]]'s future daughter.

* A unique case in ''DannyPhantom''. The main character doesn't meet any future kids of his own--he meets a future child of his ''enemies!'' Box Lunch (daughter of the [[HarmlessVillain Box Ghost]] and [[MoodSwinger Lunch]] [[LethalChef Lady]]) who is sent by [[TimeMaster Clockwork]] to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. That is, killing Danny to prevent his [[FutureMeScaresMe future self]] from destroying the world.

** And even ''she'' didn't realize she was having twins.

* Wataru becomes one to Otoya in ''KamenRiderKiva'' when he decides to travel back in time both in-series and in-movie. Given the strong GenerationXerox Kiva has, [[spoiler:Wataru's son from 22 years in the future appears in the finale, along with Kivat the 4th, who gives him the power to become New Kiva.]]
* ''{{Kamen Rider Den-O}}'' is a natural candidate for this, given its plot. The series proper has [[spoiler:Hana, who as the child of Yuto and Airi, is Ryotaro's future niece, which makes all that ShipTease turn a little sour in retrospect...]]. TheMovie ''Final Countdown'' features Kotaro, Ryotaro's grandson, who is also New Den-O.

* [[spoiler: All over the place]] in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''. [[spoiler: After "Marth" reveals her true identity, when a male and female reach S support level, you can recruit their kid in a side chapter.]]
** Besides [[spoiler: Lucina]], there are a total of [[spoiler: 12]] future children. [[spoiler: One of them is even ''[[PlayerCharacter yours]]''!]]

* An episode of ''OjamajoDoremi'' had Doremi's granddaughter from the future travel to the present. [[hottip:*:This, of course, raises the question of who Doremi hooks up with... and then, whose kid ''their'' kid hooks up with.]]

** The second version of Lara-Su was from the much nicer "Mobius: X Years Later" timeline. She was one of the few people [[RippleEffectProofMemory not affected]] by the CosmicRetcon and helped Future Sonic depose [[KnightTemplar King Shadow]], and a while after that became a member of the Future Freedom Fighters.[[hottip:*: It should also be noted that this version of Lara-Su never went back in time - so she's not so much a Kid From The Future as she is a Future Kid.]]

* MyLittlePony Fanfic ''Hands by Andrew Joshua Talon'' has an unresolved LoveTriangle between a human, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle. In the TimeTravelEpisode after those three agree that {{Stable Time Loop}}s are useless and cause only problems they get back to discussing how to resolve their Love Triangle. Seconds later two half human hybrids colored like Twilight Sparkle AND Fluttershy respectively arrive via Time Travel to tell their parents to just get a move on. [[spoiler: They are actually [[PhysicalGod Princess Luna]] and [[FunPersonified Pinkie Pie]] who traveled back from later that day to prank them.]]

* Alexander Rojenko does this in an episode of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. [[spoiler:'What went wrong' was him growing up to be a pacifist; his solution is to ''kill'' himself. Good thing Worf comes up with [[TakeAThirdOption an alternative]].]]

** We later meet him in Act 6, where it turns out [[spoiler:Jade is his grandmother - except it's an AlternateUniverse version of Jade. And J's counterpart in the original universe was Jade's grandfather.]]

* In VideoGame/ChronoTrigger, Marle warps back a few centuries [[spoiler: and is [[IdenticalGrandfather mistaken for her great-great-etc.-grandmother]].]]
* In the Ambitions expansion pack for TheSims 3, it is possible to end up with one of these when using the time machine.

* VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2 has Kyle, the protagonist, meeting his parents in the past. Stahn even jokes that he'll name his son after Kyle. He never reveals that he's their son, though.

* Lyra is the daughter of 'ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk and (a possibly/possibly not) the parellel universe future AntiHero Thundra from a world where the male heroes of today are worshipped.

* In one ''AstroCity'' plotline, several versions of Jack-In-The-Box's son from the future appear (The Box, The Jackson, and Jerome Johnson). They [[spoiler:grew up without a father]] because, in their timelines, [[spoiler:Jack-In-The-Box died before his son's birth. One turned out to be a bloodthirsty vigilante, another ended up totally insane, and the third, 'normal' one was clearly emotionally wounded]]. This convinces Jack-In-The-Box to [[spoiler:[[PassingTheTorch hand off his identity to a younger protege]] and concentrate on his family.]]

** Another alternate-universe twist on this trope from X-Continuity is Nocturne, Nightcrawler's daughter with the Scarlet Witch, of all people.
** Minor case: Bishop of the X-Men is from the future, and turns out to be the grandson of minor character Gateway.

* Other ComicBook/{{X-Men}} babies not tied future kids not tide to both of the above parents: {{Cyclops}} had a daughter with Emma Frost, in the form of Comicbook/{{X-Factor}}'s Ruby Summers.

* [[FragileSpeedster Bart Allan/Impulse]] in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' is [[TheFlash Barry Allan/The Flash]]'s grandson from the future. Coincidentally this occurried mere hours after Iris found out she was pregnant; she had not even had a chance to tell Barry yet.
