That’s right, it’s time to get a little crazy about babies, super babies that is!
Today we’ll be looking at babies who are super powered or who were born with the potential
for super powers but they manifested later in life.
Some of these babies are the children of supers, or are just straight supers themselves but
all of them have powers of some kind and were all supercute in their baby form.
So get ready to get ready to explore this itty bitty heroic world as we count down the
top 10 superhero babies.
Not going to lie, it was really hard for me to not put Baby Genius’ on this list.
But because it is such an old film and more terrifying than cute, I reluctantly left them
out.
So you’re welcome for that.
Be sure to stick around till the end of this list where I will have some bonus content
coming your way.
Alright, let’s get counting.
10 L’il She-Hulk
In Sensational She-Hulk issue 50, She-Hulk was looking for some new writers.
She had claimed her current writer, who she had a longstanding feud with, John Byrne was
dead.
But he wasn’t.
He was actually locked her and tied up in the closet.
All of the new writers’ pitches were not liked by She-Hulk so gave John one more shot
to prove himself.
In his pitch, She-Hulk was re-imagined into Li’l She-Hulk, a lilt pint size muscle-bound
version of herself who was drawn in cartoon style.
She joined the L’il Fantastic Four to help out just as Li’l Doctor Doom showed up.
Unfortunately that was as far as L’il She-Hulk got to live as she didn’t like John’s
pitch either she decided, and she tossed him out the window.
9 Iris & Jai West
These two little twin speedsters are the children of Wally West and Linda Park.
At least these two were the children of Wally West before they got retconned away to be
trapped on an island.
These two are not only adorable but they are also both extremely powerful.
At one point it’s even implied that Iris could end up being faster than her dad one
day.
And Wally is known as being one of the fastest speedsters alive.
Initially though both Iris and Jai have different main abilities linked to the Speed Force.
Iris is known for her phasing ability and Jai is known for his bursts of super strength.
8 Valeria Richards
Valeria got two chances at life and because of this there are actually two of her.
One who grew up in an alternate reality after her older brother Franklin teleported her
there after she appeared stillborn.
And the Valeria of the main continuity who was saved by Doctor Von Doom as Sue went into
labour while Reed was away, and succeeded where Mr Fantastic couldn’t.
Part of the agreement was the Doom would be able to name the child and so he named her
after his one true love (who he sacrificed for some sweet mystical armour), Valeria.
He was also made her Godfather as well.
Which is pretty sweet.
Valeria was an adorable little baby and would quickly develop a brilliant intellect which
is basically her super power.
After the events of Civil War, her intelligence would make a quantum leap, almost putting
her at the same level as her dad for smarts.
With the likelihood that she would quickly surpass even her dad.
7 Ellie Camacho
Ellie was one of the cutest little babies when we first saw her in the comics.
Her mother Carmelita was helped by members of the Heroes for Hire in tracking down Deadpool.
She and Deadpool had slept together while hostages.
Carmelita had thought she was about to die and so decided why not go out with one last
act of love.
She was horrified when she actually saw what Wade looked like under his mask which came
off midway.
She ended up conceiving his child and was tracking him down to demand that he take some
responsibility and support little baby, Ellie.
We later found out that Ellie was a mutant and in an alternate reality it was revealed
that her super power will likely be immortality via reincarnation.
Whenever she dies, her body is able to come back to life with all her memories intact
but putting her in the body of her teenage self, the age at which her mutant powers first
manifested.
So her powers end up being kind of even better than her dad’s.
6 Franklin Richards
As a baby, Franklin was both super powerful and super terrifying.
At one point Reed Richards actually has to power the little one's mind down because he
was deemed so dangerous.
Annihilus had sought to control Franklin so that he might access and use the power of
the little guy’s brain and unlocked his full.
And as a small child he would save a slew of heroes, including his parents, from Onslaught
by storing them in a pocket dimension which existed within a rubber ball.
This first indication of his powers emerging was when he was just a toddler and during
a fight, he used his telepathic abilities to wake up the Thing who had been KOd.
Revitalising Ben and allowing the Fantastic Four to win the day against the Frightful
Four.
I just love that Trapster is part of this supervillain team.
5 Tiny Titans
Tiny Titans follows the adventures of the Teen Titans but in an alternate reality where
they are all in elementary school and of that age.
The series was created to target kids.
So if you have any real young ones, and you want to get them into Teen Titans or comics,
this might be a good place to start them.
Tiny Titans have their own full series which boasts of 50 issues.
And they even had a little spinoff miniseries as well, which was 6 issues long.
Not only are the characters adorable but there are also some great references to the main
DC continuity including a hall monitor known simply as Monitor who tries to stop heroes
in the halls, only to be foiled by Anti-Monitor, who distracts Monitor so the little heroes
can get away.
4 Danielle Cage
So while little baby Danielle Cage, the daughter of superheroes Jessica Jones and Luke Cage,
has yet to develop and superpowers of her own--though she was purple for a bit.
But that definitely doesn’t count--we did find out in an alternate future that she could
develop superpowers.
In Avengers: Age of Ultron we see her, all grown up as the new Captain America, having
inherited both her mother and father’s powers.
While she may seem cute now, it’s possible that we could also see this end up happening
eventually in the main continuity or at least something similar to it.
I don’t know about you, but I’d be down to see little Danielle Cage grow up to become
the new Captain.
She doesn’t just throw the shield, she is the shield.
3 Hercules
So I’m not talking about the Marvel Hercules unfortunately.
I’m talking about Disney’s Hercules but I think he should still count.
He’s pretty super and pretty heroic.
He also makes the cutest baby ever!!!
Lil baby Herc appears to have been super strong from birth.
He reveals this when he meets his uncle Hades who tries to give him a spiked bone as a lollipop
and playful little Herc knock it out of Hades hands and instead almost crushes Hades finger
with his firm baby grip.
And again when he proves to be too much of a handful for Pain and Panic when they try
to turn him mortal and kill him, wrestling them into submission when the little demons
turn into snakes.
2 Hellboy
That’s right.
From the same creative team that brought you Tiny Titans, Darkhorse decided to release
their own children-friendly short series that was based around a Hellboy known as Itty Bitty
Hellboy.
I love it so much!
The entire BPRD squad is also as babyfied in the series.
We get reintroduced to the characters in issue one, in the most adorable way.
Then we get to join them on adventures where they visit heaven and hell and everywhere
in between -- that’s right camping.
Which I personally think is neither heaven nor hell but is super fun regardless.

1 Jack Jack
One of the cutest and most devilish little superhero babies to ever exist within the
superhero world.
Jack Jack is from the Pixar and Disney collab film Incredibles and Incredibles 2 which we
all waited years to watch, but boy, was it worth it.
Originally Jack Jack appeared unpowered unlike his siblings.
At the end of the first film it seemed like he was just a shape changer of some kind but
in Incredibles 2 we learned that Jack Jack actually has pretty much all the superpowers:
laser vision, flying or floating, self duplication, teleportation, dimension hopping, telekinesis,
wall crawling and super speed being some of them.
He can even phase!
This could be temporary and his powers may change as he ages but for now, Jack Jack is
likely the most super baby ever!

Thank you so much for watching, nerd squad.
I hope you learned a lot about some little heroes who pack a lot of might, and some little
future heroes who one day will.
Who are some of your favourite baby superheroes?
Which team would like to see cutified as babies?
Let us know in the comments below.
And speaking of comments, it’s time to turn to some comments from one of our latest videos,
top 10 shocking symbiote facts.
Pablo Casals says, “No moral or ethical principles.
Sounds like most of the internet.”
Hahaha.
Well I don’t think the internet is quite as insidious as Carnage is but there are definitely
some pretty strong representations for people who are equally selfish and violent.
That is for sure.
Hezar 5166 comments, “I need an Anti-Venom movie.”
Oooo, I would love that.
Maybe as we flush out more of the cinematic Spider-Man world we’ll get to see a character
like Anti-Venom take to the screen.
We are getting Morbius and a second Venom film so it could happen.
I also hope we get some Black Cat though too.
So many good characters within the symbiote and spidey world.
And that’s all the time we have for comments today.
