History Main / SuperPowerfulGenetics

* ''Film/FastColor'': The superpowers in the film are genetic, hereditary, and sex-linked it seems since only females (girls or women) have them.
* In ''Film/Freaks2018'', Abnormals have Abnormal children with different, but generally stronger, powers. It's mentioned at one point that while Abnormals were forcibly relocated if possible, their children are killed as they're just too powerful to control or contain. However, this policy has recently changed since the ADF now wish to capture an Abnormal child and raise it to be a weapon for the government.
** This makes the reveal that Chloe's [[spoiler: grandfather has powers]] an even bigger deal, as it means that Chloe herself is [[spoiler: a third-generation Abnormal, explaining the extent and potency of her own abilities.]]

* In ''Film/{{Push}}'', children of psychics tend to inherit their parents' abilities, sometimes to a greater extent (although the reverse can be true as well). For example, Cassie is a watered-down version of her extremely powerful mother (a [[{{Seers}} Watcher]]), while Nick is a more powerful [[MindOverMatter Mover]] than his father was (at least once he has some practice). {{The Triad|sAndTheTongs}} boss's sons have inherited his [[MakeMeWannaShout Bleeder]] ability (although his is more powerful), but his daughter is actually a pretty good Watcher (possibly, her mother was one as well).

* The Disney movie ''Film/UpUpAndAway'' involves a boy named Scott whose parents are Bronze Eagle and Warrior Woman. Bronze Eagle can fly, and Warrior Woman has super-strength as well as a super-fast motorcycle. His big brother, Silver Charge, has super-speed and electrical manipulation. His little sister has x-ray vision and EyeBeams. Even his grandparents on his father's side have super-strength/flight (grandfather, Steel Condor) and VoluntaryShapeshifting (grandmother, InformedAbility). Scott's problem is that he's quickly approaching his 14th Birthday, and he has yet to develop any ability. 14 is the cut-off for a super. If he doesn't get an ability by that time, than he's just a {{Muggle}}. To that end, he decides to fake having super-strength (by rigging a door to fly off its hinges) and flight (by throwing a ball at a tree and hiding). In the end, though, it's his normalcy ([[spoiler:and immunity to [[KryptoniteIsEverywhere aluminum foil]]]]) that ends up saving the day.
* PlayedWith all over the place in ''Film/WeCanBeHeroes2020'' with the kids of the Heroics. A Cappella plays it the straightest (sharing her mom's MakeMeWannaShout powers), while the rest of the kids vary from having no powers to having different powers from their parents to going full MageBornOfMuggles.

* In the fan {{novelization}} ''Fanfic/BreathOfTheWild'', there's a consistency of children/descendants of powerful people tend to inherit the powers of their ancestry.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10129058/1/The-Snow-Queen-and-the-Ice-Demon The Snow Queen and the Ice Demon]]'' explains Elsa's [[AnIcePerson cryokinesis]] by making her Loki's daughter, whose Jotun blood attuns him to ice.
