* '''Enforced''': "We want to have younger characters star in the new show so that younger audiences can identify with the heroes more, but we don't want to risk alienating fans of the original series, so how about we compromise by making the new heroes the offspring of the original heroes?"
* '''Lampshaded''': "So, since we're heroes like our parents, we're basically following in their footsteps."
* '''Invoked''': The heroes decide to have children so that there can be a new generation of heroes to fight evil when they get too old to continue fighting.
