* ItsAllAboutMe: The parents of the abandoned Supe teens are greedy as hell. They injected their kids with Compound V to make them famous superheroes so they could get rich off of them. However, when their powers turned their kids into failures, they blame Vought for it even though they're just as guilty. Rather than sucking it up and living with what they did, they decide to forget about their mistake entirely by sending them away. What's worse, it's implied they ''don't regret it at all''.

** Ghost’s parents especially. When their daughter is stuck in an incorporeal form, their biggest concern is how it affects ''them''. They are annoyed when Ghost tells them she’s hungry and barely hide their contempt for her when they leave her.
** Booby-Face’s mom is perhaps the worst. She seems like a nice lady, but a quick flashback reveals her cackling while displaying a sweater made from the organs of two vivisected puppies to her crying son.
