Top five parent supporting characters in comics?

okeydokey top 5 parent supporting characters. I will be grouping parents who are mom and dad together :P

Berto and Bianca Reyes - they are the top comic parents of all time IMO. They just work very well with Jaime's story and we get to see them supporting him and I love them.

Jonathan and Martha Kent - I love that we can see superman come to his parents when he's an adult for comfort and advice, I think it's something we don't see a ton in fiction!

Arella - she's so tragic and works very well with raven's character. She makes me so emo! She gave up her happiness for Raven! She jumped into the Netherverse to fight endlessly against the man who tormented her to save her daughter! And then the complete lack of communication after Terror of Trigon which I think works very well for their characters even though it was not nice to Raven :P

Hippolyte - another mom who makes me emo! Started feeling things about her way back in Perez's run when we see her questioning the gods when Zeus turns his eye on Diana (sadly then this is like. not made into anything). And then we definitley have the "i'll do anything for my daughter even if it screws over other people". And I love the idea behind her and Diana's conflict in Jimenez's run (sadly lots of it was built off very mid JSA comics that do not adequately explain why Hippolyte has such a connection to JSA)

Rudy and Mary West - OK look are they good parents? No. Do they fill supporting character roles amazingly in Messner-Loebs Flash? yes :P To quote Rudy "by pretending to be dead, so taht he can talk to me 'psychically i've corrupted my son, made him betray his beliefs and turned him into a cheap pitchman. somehow i thought this would be more fun" (link) anyway very fun to read about!

The retroactive timeline for Diana with time travelling hippolyte is funny tho

Diana becomes Wonder Woman the first time going to mans world in (ambiguous DC present). She is named Wonder Woman after the first Wonder Woman, who shows up in WW2 (secretly time travelling hippolyte). She was also named Diana after Diana Rockwell Trevor, who died saving some of the Amazons from Cottus. Diana Rockwell Trevor, who also inspired Diana's Wonder Woman costume, was herself inspired to become a pilot after seeing the Hippolyte flying in her invisible plane and fighting in WW2. Then Hippolyte becomes Wonder Woman after the death of her daughter to redeem herself for the contest, clearly inspired by Diana, and inspires both Diana (Rockwell Trevor)'s career and Diana (of Themyscira)'s superhero name.

it's like. a stable time loop
