** Even more realistic is the New 52 Superman that crossed over from new earth. His son Jon seems to have his powers like flight and heat vision almost to the same level as his dad. The rub comes in that Jon's powers are unpredictable and sporadic. at first he'll be invulnerable but then a tumble from a tree will give him a concussion. It seems that as he grows his gene's are fighting and shifting in order to find a more stabilised state.

* Averted big time by the RomSpaceknight villain Hybrid. Half human and half shape-shifting alien Dire Wraith, his true form is an absolutely hideous gloppy mess that doesn't look much like either, and he possesses psychic powers to rival [[XMen Charles Xavier]] (note that while many Wraiths practice sorcery, they're not noted for being natural psychics). It might be possible to ignore his hideous appearance if he wasn't also sadistically evil.

*** Ligers are an example of getting all of the strengths, because they are larger (often as large as both parents put together) and stronger than either parent and the largest big cat on Earth. Tiglons are generally about the same size as their parent species, and less likely to survive birth, but they are not, by any means, small.
