In a work of fiction, there are two characters who aren't related in any way. The creator may not have intended for them to be related (at least, not at the time, anyway). But when that work is adapted to another form of media, suddenly the people in charge decided to make them relatives. This can be for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to): A pragmatic change to eliminate some exposition; it's easier to introduce Alice and Bob as siblings than to introduce Bob as Alice's Like Brother and Sister childhood friend staying at her house while his parents are dead, missing, or off being the Hero of Another Story. The characters have something that makes them very similar (be it superpowers, appearance, motivations, what have you), and thus linking them together makes sense thematically. By making the characters relatives the stakes are raised and there's a more personal connection between them than if they were just friends. Avoiding the Unfortunate Implications of an adult being One of the Kids by making said adult a (grand)parent, uncle/aunt or an elder sibling to at least one of the kids they're running around with. Trying to stomp out homosexual undertones in the original work by making the affection characters share familial instead. Adding a twist to a remake of a story that is subject to It Was His Sled. The result of creating a Composite Character or being Named by the Adaptation. May result in an Adaptation Name Change, particularly surnames. When it's specifically love interests being turned into family members in the transition, the casting equivalent would be Cast Incest. Compare or contrast with Everyone Is Related, where it's done within the original work. Sub-trope to Adaptation Relationship Overhaul. Often a part in an Adaptational Upbringing Change. See also Adaptation Origin Connection. Please do not list inversions here, for that we have Unrelated in the Adaptation. In cases where the characters were related in the original and the adaptation changes how they're related, see Related Differently in the Adaptation. In cases where characters from different works are made relatives in a crossover, see Crossover Relatives. See Historical Relationship Overhaul for when this happens to real people. |

In The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, Adele is the biological daughter of Rochester and his first wife "M.", whose postpartum depression after Adele's birth and resulting self-medication with drugs led to her current status as the Madwoman in the Attic. In the original novel, Adéle is just Rochester's ward, the abandoned daughter of his ex-mistress Céline Varens (although Céline claimed Rochester was her father, he doesn't think he is), and she has no connection to his mad wife Bertha. | |

In The Queen of Spades, Liza, while still a distant relative of the Countess, is treated pretty much as a servant, or even worse sometimes (it's mentioned that her salary is paid very inaccurately). In the opera, however, she is the Countess' granddaughter, thus having a much better social standing. | |

Variation with Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. In the comics, she is Loki's biological daughter or was at least created by him. Here, she is actually Odin's biological daughter and the long-lost older sister of Thor (and Loki by adoption). This means that while she is no longer biologically related to Loki, she is now related to Thor. This also makes her a Composite Character with Angela, who is the comic universe's lost sister. | |

The Perfect Castlevania Timeline: While Simon Belmont's father was never identified in the original game timeline, the series hypothesises his father to have been Desmond, the protagonist of Castlevania: Order of Shadows. Shanoa's Mysterious Past is never elaborated on in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, what with her being an Amnesiac Hero. The Perfect Castlevania Timeline reveals in Chapter VII: The Heroic Morris Clan that she is descended from Hector and Julia. |

Arrow: Thea Dearden Queen is basically Mia Dearden reinvented as Ollie's sister. Additionally, she turned out to be the biological daughter of Malcolm Merlyn, Green Arrow's Arch-Enemy in the comics, after having an affair with Oliver's mother. For the matter, Walter Steele becomes Oliver and Thea's stepfather while in the comics he's just a minor character. Yao Fei and Shado are re-imagined as father and daughter. The comic book counterparts have never even met. Nyssa Al-Ghul (Nyssa Raatko) was married to Oliver in the show. They are total strangers in the comics. Noak Kuttler aka The Calculator, a Birds of Prey villain, becomes the father of Felicity Smoak, a minor Firestorm (DC Comics) character. Husband and wife John Diggle and Lyla Michaels-Stewart/Harbinger ended up becoming this after season 7 revealed that Diggle was a case of Canon Character All Along: John Stewart (which ended up leading to Expy Coexistence in the comics, as Diggle was ported over to the comics prior to this point). In the comics, Stewart and Harbinger were only allies. Also, thanks to Ollie's son becoming a Decomposite Character, they're the parents of Connor Hawke. |

Disney Animated Canon: Bambi: Bambi's father is left vague in the books however it isn't implied to be the Great Old Prince Of The Forest (who is an elderly and seldom seen figure). The Disney adaptation combines Bambi's father with the Great Prince. Frozen is also loosely Inspired by… The Snow Queen. In the original, Gerda and the Snow Queen are totally unrelated (indeed, the Queen is closer to The Fair Folk); here the Queen (Elsa) and Gerda's equivalent (Anna) are sisters, and their relationship is the main theme of the movie. Early on in development, the two were unrelated. This was changed so that the two could have a closer relationship, originally of the Cain and Abel sort but later of the distant siblings kind. Hercules: The title character is the legit son of Zeus and Hera instead of only Zeus's by a mortal woman. |

The main characters of The Princess Wei Young are highly fictionalised versions of historical figures, and the series takes liberties with how some of them were related to each other. Historically Tuoba Hong was the son of Consort Li (fictionalised as Li Chang Le) and the step-son of Empress Feng (fictionalised as Xin Er). In the series Hong is the son of Xin Er and isn't related to Chang Le, who died before he was born. | |

Gotham: Silver St. Cloud is a member of the Dumas Family (a.k.a. the Order of St. Dumas). Jervis Tetch's Alice is his sister. This does not alter the nature of his obsession with her in any way. In the comics, Jim Gordon was married first to Barbara Kean and then to Sarah Essen, and Leslie Thompkins has never been married (she's occasionally Alfred's Love Interest) but they’re married here. |

Meet the Robinsons was based on the William Joyce book A Day With Wilbur Robinson, where the unnamed protagonist meets his friend Wilbur's family. In the film, the protagonist, Lewis, meets Wilbur because Wilbur is his Kid from the Future, a fact not revealed until the third act. | |

Teen Titans Go!: The Doom Patrol are introduced in the sixth season, with the show's interpretations of Robotman and Negative Man (or rather, Negative Girl) being Beast Boy's adoptive siblings (which by extension makes Elasti-Girl their adoptive mother as well as Beast Boy's) and the Chief taking Mento's place as Beast Boy's adoptive father. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT: INNOCENT made Linith and Teana (two characters whose only connection in the original continuity is a Master-Apprentice Chain, and they aren't even the same species) into sisters. The same is done with Jail and Quint, which makes their children all cousins. Somewhat downplayed as the Numbers were all sisters, but not biologically related. Downplayed with the six Nakajima sisters, who were all adopted in the original continuity but were changed to be the biological children of Genya and Quint. Even more downplayed with Ginga, Subaru, and Nove who were originally Quint's clones. Also downplayed with Uno, Due, Tre, Quattro and Sette who were still Jail's children in the original continuity, but were changed to all be his biological children. Even more downplayed with Uno, who's a female clone of Jail. Played for laughs when it's jokingly suggested that Sacred Heart is a descendant of Vita's stuffed rabbit. Vivio is implied to be Nanoha and Fate's biological daughter instead of being adopted. Inverted and downplayed regarding Fate. She was never adopted into the Harlaown family in the INNOCENT continuity since Precia is both alive and sane, but the family bond still exists due to Precia and Lindy being Heterosexual Life-Partners who are raising their kids side-by-side. Downplayed with the Takamachi siblings. In Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever, Nanoha and Kyouya are half-siblings and Miyuki is their first cousin. In Lyrical Nanoha proper, there's nothing to suggest that they're not all full-blooded siblings (other than the fact that it would mean that Momoko gave birth to Kyouya at 14). |

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries inverted this several times: The Bennet family Zig-Zagged this as the family relationship got shuffled a bit. In the novel, there are five Bennet sisters. Here, only the eponymous protagonist, Jane, and Lydia retained their original status as sisters. Mary was only their (paternal) cousin here, while Kitty became Lydia's pet cat instead. Mr. Collins in the novel is a cousin to the Bennet girls who wants to marry one of them (specifically, Jane first before setting his sights on Lizzie), then ultimately settles for Lizzie's best friend Charlotte Lucas after being rejected. Here, he is not related to the Bennets and he never marries Charlotte (he becomes her boss instead). |

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002) made Man-At-Arms and Fisto brothers. Also there was some implication (though never confirmed) that either Man-At-Arms or Fisto was Teela's biological father. In the Filmation cartoon Teela was Man-At-Arms' adopted daughter and her biological father was an unnamed soldier who had died years before, while in the original minicomics Teela was a clone of the Sorceress created by Skeletor. | |

In the 1996 film of Matilda, Miss Trunchbull is the stepsister of Miss Honey's late mother rather than her biological sister as she is in the book. It seems the screenwriters didn't want the Big Bad to be the biological aunt of Matilda's loving Parental Substitute. The stage musical, on the other hand, keeps her as a sister, but the film of the musical also changes her to a stepsister, likely because Miss Honey and her parents are given a Race Lift, but Trunchbull isn't. | |

The Mists of Avalon practically condenses all of Arthurian Legend into one Tangled Family Tree, possibly just to facilitate lots of incest. Most notably, this is the Trope Codifier of Morgan (or in this series, Morgaine) le Fay being Mordred's mother instead of Morgause (his foster mother in this version). Also, Igraine and Viviane (The Lady of the Lake) are sisters (as is Morgause, who's normally Igraine's daughter). Igraine's father is the first Merlin, whose youngest daughter is Niniane. Viviane is also the biological mother of Lancelet, as opposed to his foster mother, meaning that he is now Kissing Cousins with both Morgaine and Arthur. She's also the mother of Balan, which becomes his motive for killing his (now adoptive) brother Balin. Gwenhwyfar's sister is set up to be this setting's version of Isolde, only to suddenly die before that story can happen. Meanwhile Maleagant may or may not be their half-brother. (This doesn't stop him from raping Gwen.) The Elaine of Corbenic analogue is their cousin, whose father is King Pellinore. Nimue (who's different than Niniane or Viviane) is her and Lancelet's daughter. |

Knights of the Old Republic Cinematic Universe: Visquis and Saquesh, the two Quarren crime lords based on Nar Shaddaa, are brothers in this universe, whereas they weren't stated to be related in the source material. After Hanharr kills Saquesh and lies to Visquis that Meetra Surik did it, Visquis gets a more personal reason to capture the Jedi Exile than he has canonically. | |

In the author's notes page for the first issue of the Superfriends comic book tie-in, E Nelson Bridwell reveals that he has decided (in lieu of early scripts naively trying to make her Batman's niece) to make Wendy be Harvey Harris' niece, instead. Harvey Harris was a detective who helped young Bruce Wayne learn the ropes of the profession. He also speculates that the Wendy Harris who is Hourman's wife on Earth-Two could be her counterpart (the two admittedly look similar). As for Marvin, he was the son of Daniel White and Diana White, the former Diana Prince, who let Wonder Woman assume her identity. All this was intended to explain just why the Superfriends would let these seemingly-random kids (and their dog) tag along with them on adventures. The former retcon was referenced in The Batman And Scooby Doo Mysteries, where Harris mentions his niece Wendy briefly. | |

Wicked: Subverted. In the original book it's intentionally vague if Nessarose is Frexspar's or Turtle Heart's daughter. The musical Adapted Out Turtle Heart, making Nessarose into Frex's biological daughter for sure. Two books later it was confirmed that Nessarose is also Frexspar's daughter in book canon. This trope is played straight in books and musical alike with Nessarose and Elphaba, though: the two wicked witches in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz aren't related, but here they're sisters (actually half-sisters), as in the classic film. |

The second season ties a third previously-unrelated villain into the family, bringing in Nightshade as Mariah's estranged daughter. Luke Cage and Diamondback are made half-brothers. They were always friends-turned-enemies in the comics, but now Diamondback is a Bastard Bastard and has resentment for their father's legitimate son to fuel his hatred. |

In The Squire's Tales, Tristram and Dinadan are brothers who hardly know each other instead of being friends. Bedivere is referred to as both Kai and Arthur's cousin. (Whether that means he's related to both of them by blood or he's Arthur's cousin by adoption isn't clear.) In contrast, Culloch and Arthur are Unrelated in the Adaptation. Luneta is the daughter of Gaheris and Lynet, which also makes her Ywain's cousin. |

Ultimate Marvel: Ultimate Spider-Man In the main Spider-Man comics the name Spider-Woman has been used by a number of ladies, all of whom have almost nothing do with Spider-Man other than having similar names and powers. In Ultimate Spider-Man Spider-Woman is Peter Parker's Opposite-Sex Clone; in civilian life she goes by the name Jessica Drew, which happens to be the civilian name of the first Spider-Woman in the mainstream Marvel Universe. Additionally, Tarantula and the original Scorpion are clones of Peter, too. In the Ultimate verse Liz Allan is made a Composite Character and thus is not only the alter ego of Firestar, The Blob is now her biological father. Morbius is the brother of Dracula. The Ultimates: M'Baku the Man-Ape is Black Panther's older brother. The Red Skull is the bastard (in both senses of the word) son of Captain America and Gail Richards from the Republic Pictures serials. As opposed to being The Mighty Thor's step-brother, Loki is his half-brother, with Odin fathering both of them. Gail Richards from the Republic Pictures Captain America serials married Bucky Barnes. In Ultimate Fantastic Four: Doctor Doom is a descendant of Dracula. This in turn makes him a distant relative of Morbius. Thanos is the father of Ronan the Accuser. While Professor X and Moira MacTaggert of the traditional Marvel Universe have had romantic feelings towards each other, they ended up marrying different people. In Ultimate X Men, they did get married and later divorced. This resulted in their respective spouses (Gabrielle Haller and Joseph MacTaggert) being adapted out, the sons they had being the same character and two cases Adaptation Name Change (Moira's maiden name in the classic universe was Kinross, "MacTaggert" being the result of a very bad marriage and Proteus being named David Xavier). |

In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): In the comics, Gamora is Thanos' adopted daughter and top assassin, and Nebula is an independent space pirate who claims to be his biological granddaughter, but it's left ambiguous as to whether or not this is actually true. In the film, both women are adopted "daughters" of Thanos, and consider each other sisters. Other "children of Thanos" are shown in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame; in the comics they're Thanos' Quirky Miniboss Squad the "Black Order" but for the most part not a familynote Corvus Glaive and Black Dwarf are brothers and Corvus is married to Proxima Midnight; but the rest are unrelated and have no direct connection to either Gamora or Nebula. In both the comics and film, Peter Quill is a Half-Human Hybrid with a human mother. While the original film left the identity of the father open as a Sequel Hook, Word of God stated that it is not J'Son of Spartax as it is in the comics. Vol. 2 reveals that Quill is now the son of Ego the Living Planet. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special subsequently confirms that Mantis was another of Ego's children, making her Peter's half-sister. |

In the 1968 TV-movie of Heidi, Herr Sessemann is Heidi's uncle and Klara is her cousin. This change was probably inspired by The Secret Garden, the other famous children's novel about a young orphaned heroine who helps a wheelchair-bound Lonely Rich Kid Throw Off the Disability. Heidi's Aunt Dete, her Missing Mom's sister, also becomes the Grandfather's estranged daughter instead of being unrelated to him, as in this version he's Heidi's maternal grandfather instead of paternal. | |

In the original Metal Gear games for the MSX2, Big Boss was simply Solid Snake's commanding officer who ends up becoming his nemesis. When the franchise was later revived with Metal Gear Solid, Solid Snake was revealed to be Big Boss's son, or more specifically a genetically modified clone of him, with one CODEC conversation implying that Big Boss imparted that knowledge to Snake during the events of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, even though no such scene actually occurs in that game. This eventually allowed a younger version of Big Boss to be introduced in the prequel Metal Gear Solid 3, where he goes under the codename Naked Snake. | |

In the spinoff series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, it's implied but never confirmed that the Red Queen of Wonderland (who later marries the Knave of Hearts, who is actually Will Scarlet) was one of Cinderella's stepsisters. (Since they're so often combined in adaptations, it should be noted that the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts are not the same person in Once, although the former was a friend and pupil of the latter in this version, whereas the originals didn't meet). | |

Downplayed with the Takamachi siblings. In Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever, Nanoha and Kyouya are half-siblings and Miyuki is their first cousin. In Lyrical Nanoha proper, there's nothing to suggest that they're not all full-blooded siblings (other than the fact that it would mean that Momoko gave birth to Kyouya at 14). | |

Black Panther films: Erik Killmonger turns out to be the cousin of T'Challa and Shuri, which is a connection that doesn't exist in the comics. By extension, this makes T'Challa and Shuri's father T'Chaka the older brother of Killmonger's father N'Jobu. There is also Ramonda. In the comics, she is the stepmother of T'Challa and served as a surrogate mother to him after T'Challa's own mother died giving birth to him. In the MCU, Ramonda is T'Challa's biological mother. Shuri is T’Challa’s half sister in the comics but is his full sister in this universe. Okoye is W'Kabi's wife. |

In Black Widow (2021) Yelena Belova and Natasha Romanoff are portrayed as sisters, while their comic counterparts were childhood rivals. In the comics there is flirty back and forth between them. Furthermore, Melina Vostokoff (Iron Maiden) and Alexei Shostakov (Red Guardian) are portrayed as their foster parents... sort of (it was a cover identity, but Yelena and indeed most of them felt like it was real). Alexei is Related Differently in the Adaptation to Natasha, however, as his comic counterpart was her ex-husband. | |

The New 52: Wonder Woman is now the daughter of Zeus and aunt of Wonder Girl (Cassie). Diana was already Zeus' great-granddaughter and had previously been Cassie's grand-niece but writers often ignored this as it would require them to draw attention to Ares' being Diana's grandfather. Nothing in the New 52 hints Ares is no longer Hippolyta's father meaning this version of Diana is the product of some serious Royal Inbreeding. In the The Forever People, Serafina (the Gender Flipped version of Serifan from previous continuity) is Vykin the Black's sister. This also entails giving the blond Serifan a Race Lift. In the Villains Month Origins Episode for Darkseid, he was the brother of Avia, and therefore the brother-in-law of Highfather. (Avia herself remains a Posthumous Character.) In Shazam! back-up strips in Justice League, Billy and his Flashpoint friends are now foster-siblings. The New 52 version of Arthur Light (who is not a villain) is married to Kimiyo Hoshi, the heroic Dr Light II in the previous continuity. Earth 2: Before the New 52, Fury was the daughter of Earth-2's Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor. She is still Wonder Woman's daughter, but she's born illegitimately after her mother was manipulated by Fury's father Steppenwolf. In Justice League Dark #19, it is revealed that Madame Xanadu is the mother of Dr Destiny. Pre-Flashpoint, his mother was established in The Sandman (1989) to be a woman named Ethel Cripps. In the Superman/Wonder Woman tie-in to Superman: Savage Dawn, Angle Man is the son of Vandal Savage. The valkyrie Gundra, an obscure Wonder Woman villain from Earth-2 continuity, is revealed to be the ancestor of a long line of Amazon-haters, whose name evolved over the centuries from "von Gundra" to "von Gunther". As in Paula von Gunther. |

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Thor and its sequels: Variation with Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. In the comics, she is Loki's biological daughter or was at least created by him. Here, she is actually Odin's biological daughter and the long-lost older sister of Thor (and Loki by adoption). This means that while she is no longer biologically related to Loki, she is now related to Thor. This also makes her a Composite Character with Angela, who is the comic universe's lost sister. In the comics, Frigga is Thor’s stepmother. Here, she is his biological mother. In the comics, Ultron was built by Ant-Man and considers him his father. The MCU hadn't debuted Ant-Man yet, so the relationship was transferred to Iron Man instead, complete with the resulting daddy issues. In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): In the comics, Gamora is Thanos' adopted daughter and top assassin, and Nebula is an independent space pirate who claims to be his biological granddaughter, but it's left ambiguous as to whether or not this is actually true. In the film, both women are adopted "daughters" of Thanos, and consider each other sisters. Other "children of Thanos" are shown in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame; in the comics they're Thanos' Quirky Miniboss Squad the "Black Order" but for the most part not a familynote Corvus Glaive and Black Dwarf are brothers and Corvus is married to Proxima Midnight; but the rest are unrelated and have no direct connection to either Gamora or Nebula. In both the comics and film, Peter Quill is a Half-Human Hybrid with a human mother. While the original film left the identity of the father open as a Sequel Hook, Word of God stated that it is not J'Son of Spartax as it is in the comics. Vol. 2 reveals that Quill is now the son of Ego the Living Planet. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special subsequently confirms that Mantis was another of Ego's children, making her Peter's half-sister. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the Vulture turns out to be Liz Allan's father. This ended up making them both Composite Characters of, respectively, the Ultimate Marvel version of The Blob (being a supervillain who's the father of his universe's Liz Allan) and Valeria Toomes from the mainstream continuity (being the Vulture's daughter). Black Panther films: Erik Killmonger turns out to be the cousin of T'Challa and Shuri, which is a connection that doesn't exist in the comics. By extension, this makes T'Challa and Shuri's father T'Chaka the older brother of Killmonger's father N'Jobu. There is also Ramonda. In the comics, she is the stepmother of T'Challa and served as a surrogate mother to him after T'Challa's own mother died giving birth to him. In the MCU, Ramonda is T'Challa's biological mother. Shuri is T’Challa’s half sister in the comics but is his full sister in this universe. Okoye is W'Kabi's wife. Ant-Man and the Wasp portrays Ghost as Elihas Starr's daughter, with Bill Foster becoming her surrogate father after her real parents are killed. Avengers: Endgame: During the Time Skip, Tony and Pepper end up married. In the comics, during the few times their relationship turned romantic, it never got that far. Combined with Related Differently in the Adaptation, Age Lift, and Gender Flip, Morgan Stark is their daughter; in the comics, Morgan was a male cousin of Tony's around the same age as him (and combined with Adaptational Heroism as the Morgan of the comics is a Corrupt Corporate Executive and a dick to Tony). Steve ends up going back in time and marrying Peggy Carter. In Black Widow (2021) Yelena Belova and Natasha Romanoff are portrayed as sisters, while their comic counterparts were childhood rivals. In the comics there is flirty back and forth between them. Furthermore, Melina Vostokoff (Iron Maiden) and Alexei Shostakov (Red Guardian) are portrayed as their foster parents... sort of (it was a cover identity, but Yelena and indeed most of them felt like it was real). Alexei is Related Differently in the Adaptation to Natasha, however, as his comic counterpart was her ex-husband. In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Shang-Chi is made the son of the Mandarin, a character he has no connection to in the comics. This is because his original father, Fu Manchu, was off limits for legal reasons (as well as widely being considered a racist caricature). This also extends to his sister, Fah Lo Suee (who is renamed Xialing). |

In the European Disney Ducks Comic Universe comics, it was for the longest time assumed that Uncle Scrooge and Grandma Duck were brother and sister, what with her being one of the few people that Scrooge respects and act kindly towards and her refusing to let him put on airs around her—the idea being that he left the farm to make his fortune and she stayed and used the same grit to be a farmer and home-maker. When The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck explained their actual relation, that Grandma's son Quackmore married Scrooges youngest sister Hortense (who is about fifteen years younger than Scrooge, explaining the generational gap) and became the parents of Donald Duck, it actually drew headlines. | |

X-Men Film Series X2: X-Men United did this with Jason Wyngarde/Mastermind by making him a Composite Character of his comic self and William Stryker's unnamed mutant son from God Loves, Man Kills. This also entailed Jason getting an Age Lift, as his comic counterpart was far too old to have been William's son. X-Men Origins: Wolverine makes Sabretooth Wolverine's half-brother (as opposed to simply being another Weapon X experiment). Though it seemed to be Fanon before the movie was filmed, due to Dog Logan (Wolverine's half-brother in the comic) having a resemblance to Sabretooth in the end. This also makes him a Composite Character. In X-Men: First Class, Charles Xavier and Mystique are foster siblings. Logan sees Rictor as part of the same program that created X-23. Additionally, his source DNA/biological father is listed in his file as Dominic Petrosnote which itself in an alias in the comics, as his real name is Dominikos Petrakis, a.k.a. Avalanche. Deadpool 2: Hope Summers is Cable's biological daughter instead of a child he adopts. Juggernaut wears a helmet to stop his wheelchair-bound brother from reading his mind. He doesn't mention Xavier by name, but he says brother rather than stepbrother. |

A Tale of the Wicked Queen has the Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs being the daughter of the Man in the Mirror. This explains her obsession with it. Her father was extremely abusive and hated his daughter in life. He died scorning her and ended up causing her to have major self-esteem issues. As the Slave, however, he cannot tell a lie and is forced to tell her what she wants. She takes comfort in having her father tell her that she is the most beautiful in all the land. | |

In the remakes, as per Pokémon Adventures, Silver is Giovanni's son, and the way Silver is treated (as seen in Celebi's DLC event) is the reason he wants to wipe out Team Rocket itself. While Clair and Lance were originally unrelated, Pokémon Crystal obliquely implies that they are — the guard stationed at the entrance of the Dragon's Den explicitly declares that the master is Clair's grandfather, while one of the master's attendants implies that Lance has a Strong Family Resemblance to the master. Pokémon Adventures and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver would make their relationship as cousins explicit. |

The Walking Dead: The Greene family Zig-Zagged this as the family relationship got shuffled a bit. In the comics, Hershel only had one late wife, while the TV show split them in two. Of his canonical children, only Maggie retained her original status being his child from his first wife. Shawn was only his stepson here, while Arnold became the nephew of his first wife instead. The rest of the canonical children were Adapted Out and was filled/replaced by a daughter named Beth. Another possible remix. In the comics, Tyreese has a daughter named Julie. In the show, he has a younger sister named Sasha with no sign of Julie. Speaking of Tyreese, he and Carol are essentially in a Common-Law marriage in the comics. They're not related at all in the show, and their only Story Arc together are during Season 4 and the premiere of the fifth involving her mercy killing his Love Interest in the show and them being stuck in the same party after their home base is destroyed. Lilly Chambler became related to the Chambler (Chalmers in the comics) family in virtue of being a Composite Character of Lily Caul (her main counterpart) and April Chalmers. This also extends to Lilly's daughter Meghan, Caul's stillborn child in the comics. Due to Andrea's early death in the show, Michonne fills her role in the comics as Rick's second (Common Law) wife and stepmother to his children. |

Power Rangers Mystic Force...kinda does this? While Witch Bandora and MagiMother are played by the same actress, it's only in Mystic Force that they're the same person. Inverted and somewhat played straight with the main Ranger team as well. In Mahou Sentai Magiranger, the entire team is related somehow, but not in Mystic Force; in fact, Mystic Force plays more into the Unrelated in the Adaptation trope. Nick is the only character related to Leonbow and Udonna. Daggeron is only connected as a 3rd mentor and never marries any of the female members of the team nor is in any relationships with them beyond mentornote to most of the team/studentnote of Leonbow prior to the start of the show/fellow Ranger. Madison and Vida Rocca are sisters, but they don't have any other siblings. None of the other characters are mentioned as having siblings save Nick, who was adopted and has at least 1 sibling-an older sister. | |

Played straight and inverted at the same time with the New Enchanted Forest version of the Tremaine family. The "wicked stepmother" (in addition to being Rapunzel) is actually Tremaine's first wife, meaning he's the biological father of Anastasia and Drusella and the stepfather of Ella; the exact reversal of the traditional version. | |

The Flash (1990): The series re-imagined Jay Garrick as Barry Allen's older brother. In the comics, Jay Garrick is merely Barry's predecessor as The Flash. During the series's later crossovers with the Arroverse, it's revealed Barry and Tina got married. In the comics, Barry never even met Tina, who interacted with Wally West shortly after Barry died. |

The Flash (2014): The show makes Barry an honorary member of the West family, after they took him in when Barry's mom was murdered and dad was jailed for it. While Barry does see Joe West as something of a Parental Substitute, his relationship with Iris West is unchanged, making it more of a Childhood Friend Romance in this verse. Also involving the West family, Wally West is introduced as the brother/son that Iris and Joe never knew they had, where in the comics he's Iris' nephew. This in turn makes Barry his surrogate brother instead of his uncle or merely his aunt's boyfriend. In the comics, Axel Walker is a Legacy Character inspired by the original Trickster. In the show, he turns out to be the original Trickster's bastard son. As the main Trickster is played (as always) by Mark Hamill, we did get to hear the appropriate line from The Empire Strikes Back when their relationship, a surprise to the viewer and the second Trickster, was revealed. Ronnie Raymond and Caitlin Snow are engaged throughout the first season and then married as of the first season finale. In the Firestorm (DC Comics) comics, they're enemies as Caitlin's comics counterpart is an evil supervillain, Killer Frost. Caitlin did eventually start turning into Killer Frost thanks to With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, but by that point she had been widowed for some time, as Ronnie had made a Heroic Sacrifice almost immediately after they eloped. Jesse Quick is the daughter of WWII heroes Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle in the comics; in the show she's the daughter of Canon Foreigner Harrison Wells.note Well, an Alternate Universe Wells; the main-universe Wells died childless. Savitar is Iris' fiancé through his own past/alternate self, Barry. In DC Rebirth, Barry had a daughter named Nora with Jessica Cruz, the first female Green Lantern from Earth. Here, Iris is her mother. Jay Garrick and Barry Allen have no familial connection in the comics. On the show Jay is the Alternate Universe counterpart of Barry's father Henry Allen, giving them a kind of father-son relationship, biologically at least. Likewise, Jay's wife Joan Williams, who also has no family-relationship with Barry in the comics, is a doppelganger of his mother Nora Allen in this verse. |

Frozen is also loosely Inspired by… The Snow Queen. In the original, Gerda and the Snow Queen are totally unrelated (indeed, the Queen is closer to The Fair Folk); here the Queen (Elsa) and Gerda's equivalent (Anna) are sisters, and their relationship is the main theme of the movie. Early on in development, the two were unrelated. This was changed so that the two could have a closer relationship, originally of the Cain and Abel sort but later of the distant siblings kind. | |

In Fables, this happens a lot, in part due to use of Composite Character Snow White becomes the sister of Rose Red. They hadn't even met in their original stories and Rose's Snow White was a different (and blonde) sibling, but they managed to compensate for this by combining the two Snows into one. Jack Frost turns out to be son of the Ice Queen and Jack Horner, who himself is every single other Jack from fairy tales and nursery rhymes (except Jack Sprat). Prince Charming is ex husband of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cindirella and father of abovementioned Jack Horner. Bigby, better known as the Big Bad Wolf, is son of North Wind, explaining where his power to huff and puff comes from. |

A Tale of...: A Tale of the Wicked Queen has the Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs being the daughter of the Man in the Mirror. This explains her obsession with it. Her father was extremely abusive and hated his daughter in life. He died scorning her and ended up causing her to have major self-esteem issues. As the Slave, however, he cannot tell a lie and is forced to tell her what she wants. She takes comfort in having her father tell her that she is the most beautiful in all the land. In A Tale of the Sea Witch Ursula is Triton's sister. This is reused from early The Little Mermaid scripts. A Tale of the Dark Fairy reveals that Maleficent is the adopted niece of Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. Maleficent is also the mother of Aurora, who was born from a magical spell. |

Batman '66, the comic book continuation of the Batman (1966) TV show, has several instances of making characters who originally had no connection to one another related. The Clock King is revealed to be Morris Tetch, brother of the Mad Hatter/Jervis Tetch. This relationship was not alluded to in the show and does not come from the comics, where the Clock King is William Tockman. The one-shot crossing over with Legion of Super-Heroes establishes that the villain Egghead is the ancestor of the Legion's enemy Universo. The Archie Comics crossover reveals through dialogue that Robin and Betty Cooper are second cousins once removed through Robin's Aunt Harriet. |

In one of the manga adaptations of The Legend of Zelda, Link and Zelda are half-siblings. Link doesn't realize this and has a crush on Zelda, but she only likes him in a familial way. Link is half-elf and an illegitimate child from an earlier romance Zelda's deceased mother had, so he was raised separately from Zelda and does not know of his royal heritage. | |

In the original penny dreadful and early theatrical treatments of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Johanna has no personal connection to Sweeney and only investigates him because she suspects her missing boyfriend has been done in by the Serial Killer barber. Starting in the 1973 stage adaptation, she's Todd's daughter, whom his arch-enemy adopted after having convicted him on a false charge. | |

The Spectacular Spider-Man: In the Spider-Man comics Silver Sable and Silvermane are a completely unrelated mercenary and gangster. In The Spectacular Spider-Man Silver Sable is Silvermane's villainous daughter. Thus her real name was changed from Silver Sablivona to Sable Manfredi. The series also combines this trope with Composite Character. In the comics Uncle Ben's killer is a nameless street thug. In the cartoon, he's Black Cat's father The Cat. In the comics, Liz Allan has a step-brother named Mark Raxon with whom she's very close; in this series they're blood siblings with the surname Allan. |

Vee is adopted by Camila and has several strips devoted to her and Luz's relationship as sisters. In canon, she is shown to still be treated as a member of the family by the time of the epilogue, but her legal status went unspecified. |

Son of the White Horse flips almost every relationship on its head: In the folk tales, Treeshaker, Stonecrumbler and Irontemperer are unrelated, while in the film they're the White Mare goddess' three sons. In most versions of the original story, the White Mare's Son is a separate character from all three. The king, the mysterious old man from the forest and the evil goblin are also originally unrelated characters, but the movie not only reimagined them as different forms of the same deity, it also made him the three brothers' missing father and the White Mare's "husband". Oddly, the three princesses who become the brothers' wives still call the king their father like in the original tales. The movie made this relation metaphorical rather than biological to avoid Unfortunate Implications. The princesses were merely created by the king's magic to be his actual sons' brides. |

Shazam!: In the first Post-Crisis revamp, Shazam!: The New Beginning, Captain Marvel's arch-nemesis Dr. Sivanna is his step-uncle (making him a Composite Character with Billy's Evil Uncle Ebeneezer) and Uncle Dudley is his real uncle (instead of an honorary one) named Dudley Batson. Both were later Ret Conned. As a form of Canon Welding, DC Comics made Freddy Freeman (Captain Marvel Jr.) and Kid Eternity brothers after acquiring both characters from separate companies. They had remarkably similar origin stories (Raised by Grandparents, grandpa died in a boating accident, they got a power that activates By the Power of Grayskull! and includes lightning), and since the Kid had No Name Given until then they could easily reveal he was Christopher "Kit" Freeman. The Power of Shazam adds a couple of these to Mary's backstory. She was still raised by the Bromsfields, but Nora Bromsfield is now a cousin of Marilyn Batson. In addition, Sarah Primm was the sister of Theo Adam, Black Adam's present-day descendant and host body. In the Fawcett comics, Adam didn't need a host body and had no known connection to Primm. Combined with making Theo responsible for the Batsons' death, her backstory goes from "Nurse randomly gives orphaned baby to rich lady rather than tell her her child died" to "Nanny is worried about what her brother might do to orphan, so takes her to live with relatives". (And she'd have done the same for Billy if he hadn't dropped off the grid by then.) |

Ultimate Spider-Man In the main Spider-Man comics the name Spider-Woman has been used by a number of ladies, all of whom have almost nothing do with Spider-Man other than having similar names and powers. In Ultimate Spider-Man Spider-Woman is Peter Parker's Opposite-Sex Clone; in civilian life she goes by the name Jessica Drew, which happens to be the civilian name of the first Spider-Woman in the mainstream Marvel Universe. Additionally, Tarantula and the original Scorpion are clones of Peter, too. In the Ultimate verse Liz Allan is made a Composite Character and thus is not only the alter ego of Firestar, The Blob is now her biological father. Morbius is the brother of Dracula. |

Avengers: Endgame: During the Time Skip, Tony and Pepper end up married. In the comics, during the few times their relationship turned romantic, it never got that far. Combined with Related Differently in the Adaptation, Age Lift, and Gender Flip, Morgan Stark is their daughter; in the comics, Morgan was a male cousin of Tony's around the same age as him (and combined with Adaptational Heroism as the Morgan of the comics is a Corrupt Corporate Executive and a dick to Tony). Steve ends up going back in time and marrying Peggy Carter. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW): In previous incarnations Karai was either unrelated to the Shredder or related to him by adoption. Here she is his biological granddaughter, making this the first time they’ve been portrayed as blood-related. Hun is Casey Jones’ father, when ironically his original counterpart killed Casey’s father. A variation with the Turtles and Splinter. While, like previous versions, Splinter isn’t biologically related to the turtles now, they are the respective Reincarnations of a ninja master and his sons, meaning they were biological relatives in a past life, when prior iterations had no such relation. One could say this technically makes them "spiritually" related. |

Muppet Classics had two miniseries where the story was spiced up by making characters who weren't family in the original story relatives in the adaptation. Muppet Robin Hood establishes that Maid Marian is Prince John's niece. Muppet Sherlock Holmes had the twist of Irene Adler (portrayed by Miss Piggy) turning out to be the adopted sister of Professor Moriarty (portrayed by Uncle Deadly). |

Game of Thrones A major Story Arc in Season 5 has Sansa Stark being put in an Arranged Marriage with Ramsay Bolton. In the source material, this storyline belongs to Jeyne Poole, the first spoiler-tagged character's best friend. An inverted example happens in Season 6. In the source material, Arya Stark is the actress playing "Sansa" in the Essos theater group. The show pulls a Decomposite Character move by making a Canon Foreigner unrelated to the Starks fill the role and giving Arya a slightly altered arc. The Season 7 finale reveals that Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark eloped and secretly married. While a very popular theory (if not the most) among book readers, the source material has yet to officially confirm this matter. |

In Thor and its sequels: Variation with Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. In the comics, she is Loki's biological daughter or was at least created by him. Here, she is actually Odin's biological daughter and the long-lost older sister of Thor (and Loki by adoption). This means that while she is no longer biologically related to Loki, she is now related to Thor. This also makes her a Composite Character with Angela, who is the comic universe's lost sister. In the comics, Frigga is Thor’s stepmother. Here, she is his biological mother. |

Many (but not all, there's a lot of debate in that area, even in ancient times) scholars believe that Achilles and Patroclus were lovers (Patroclus definitely was a close friend and mentor to the somewhat younger Achilles), but they were made cousins (and the age and mentor-student relationship reversed) in the 2004 movie Troy and the insistence on this being the reason for their closeness (and Achilles' Roaring Rampage of Revenge when Patroclus is killed) bordered on Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?. Cleolinda Jones mocked this change mercilessly in her parody of the film. This example is a subversion however, as Patroclus and Achilles really were related, albeit in a different way from the movie: Patroclus' grandmother Aegina was Achilles' great-grandmother, making Patroclus Achilles' first cousin once removed. In the same movie, Briseis is the cousin of Hector and Paris while in The Iliad, she's not even a Trojan. |

In Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio is a kinsman from Prince Escalus; he hangs out with Romeo because he's his friend.

Young Justice (2010): Cheshire becomes the sister of Artemis, and therefore the daughter of the original Huntress and Sportsmaster. This entails Artemis and Huntress getting a Race Lift. Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian are uncle and niece, while they're unrelated in the comics. Word of God confirms that this is true, despite the revelation that M'gann is actually a White Martian, later, Ma'alefa'ak also is changed from Martian Manhunter's brother to Miss Martian's. Lynn Stewart, Black Lightning’s ex-wife, is also the sister of John Stewart, the Green Lantern.note Her name being Stewart was intentional on the part of her creator, Tony Isabella. He didn’t make her John’s sister but decided to leave the door open if someone else wanted to do it. This just happens to be the first time someone took the opening. Nabu was one of Vandal Savage's countless children. Season 4 subsequently reveals that the Atlantean sorcerer Arion was also Savage's grandson. Played With: In the comics, Halo's real name was Violet Harper, but she had no connection to Roy Harper. Here, Halo uses a pseudonym, and Roy casually offers his surname when she can't come up with one. Similarly, in the comics, Guardian's real name is Jim Harper. In the show he's a Roy's "uncle", who is actually his clone artificially aged to adulthood. Baron Bedlam is now the Markov children's Evil Uncle. Onyx is the granddaughter of Will Everett, the All-Star Squadron member Amazing-Man. |

Done multiple times in adapting Super Sentai into Power Rangers: In Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Season 3 introduces Rita Repulsa's family; her brother Rito Revolto and father Master Vile. While Vile's and Rito's counterparts were father and son in Kakuranger, Rita's was part of another series altogether. Additionally, Dai Satan was Witch Bandora's boss and Emperor Gorma XV likewise never met Bandora, Yokai Daimao, and Gasha Dokuro, but Lord Zedd, a fusion of Dai Satan and Emperor Gorma XV/Lt. Colonel Shadamnote with a side of Decomposite Character as Dai Satan's footage was used for Lokar and the Gorma costume was the basis for Master Org years later, married Rita and thus has Rito and Vile as in-laws. Megaforce would do something similar, making Vrak, the counterpart of Tensou Sentai Goseiger's main antagonist, Brajira, part of the Royal family of the Armada, whereas in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Brajira never personally met any of the Zangyack's royal family. Inverted and played straight in Ninja Steel. In Ninninger, the Red and White Rangers were siblings and the other core Rangers were their cousins, while Starninger was unrelated to them. In Ninja Steel, the core Rangers are unrelated while the Red and Gold Rangers are brothers. During their appearance on Ninja Steel, it's revealed that Tommy and Kat got married. None of the Sentai Rangers that made up Tommy married their respective series' Pink Rangernote Burai died, K�u was a kid, and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger and Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger didn't even have a respective Pink Ranger for their teams (though Asuka was married to one of the villains in the latter). Power Rangers Operation Overdrive's Thrax-while sharing a counterpart to Bandora's son Kai-his Sentai counterpart from Overdrive isn't related to Witch Bandora either, nor Dai Satan, Emperor Gorma XV, or Lt. Colonel Shadam. Power Rangers Mystic Force...kinda does this? While Witch Bandora and MagiMother are played by the same actress, it's only in Mystic Force that they're the same person. Inverted and somewhat played straight with the main Ranger team as well. In Mahou Sentai Magiranger, the entire team is related somehow, but not in Mystic Force; in fact, Mystic Force plays more into the Unrelated in the Adaptation trope. Nick is the only character related to Leonbow and Udonna. Daggeron is only connected as a 3rd mentor and never marries any of the female members of the team nor is in any relationships with them beyond mentornote to most of the team/studentnote of Leonbow prior to the start of the show/fellow Ranger. Madison and Vida Rocca are sisters, but they don't have any other siblings. None of the other characters are mentioned as having siblings save Nick, who was adopted and has at least 1 sibling-an older sister. |

Sam Simeon of Angel and the Ape being related to Grodd was added in the post-Crisis Phil Foglio book; in The Silver Age of Comic Books, he was just a talking gorilla with no explanation whatsoever. Then inverted in the New 52, where Forever Evil (2013) introduces Sam (also known as Primeape) as having no relation to Grodd and not even a gorilla, but a human who suffered an accident with enhanced gorilla DNA. | |

The Arrowverse: Arrow: Thea Dearden Queen is basically Mia Dearden reinvented as Ollie's sister. Additionally, she turned out to be the biological daughter of Malcolm Merlyn, Green Arrow's Arch-Enemy in the comics, after having an affair with Oliver's mother. For the matter, Walter Steele becomes Oliver and Thea's stepfather while in the comics he's just a minor character. Yao Fei and Shado are re-imagined as father and daughter. The comic book counterparts have never even met. Nyssa Al-Ghul (Nyssa Raatko) was married to Oliver in the show. They are total strangers in the comics. Noak Kuttler aka The Calculator, a Birds of Prey villain, becomes the father of Felicity Smoak, a minor Firestorm (DC Comics) character. Husband and wife John Diggle and Lyla Michaels-Stewart/Harbinger ended up becoming this after season 7 revealed that Diggle was a case of Canon Character All Along: John Stewart (which ended up leading to Expy Coexistence in the comics, as Diggle was ported over to the comics prior to this point). In the comics, Stewart and Harbinger were only allies. Also, thanks to Ollie's son becoming a Decomposite Character, they're the parents of Connor Hawke. The Flash (2014): The show makes Barry an honorary member of the West family, after they took him in when Barry's mom was murdered and dad was jailed for it. While Barry does see Joe West as something of a Parental Substitute, his relationship with Iris West is unchanged, making it more of a Childhood Friend Romance in this verse. Also involving the West family, Wally West is introduced as the brother/son that Iris and Joe never knew they had, where in the comics he's Iris' nephew. This in turn makes Barry his surrogate brother instead of his uncle or merely his aunt's boyfriend. In the comics, Axel Walker is a Legacy Character inspired by the original Trickster. In the show, he turns out to be the original Trickster's bastard son. As the main Trickster is played (as always) by Mark Hamill, we did get to hear the appropriate line from The Empire Strikes Back when their relationship, a surprise to the viewer and the second Trickster, was revealed. Ronnie Raymond and Caitlin Snow are engaged throughout the first season and then married as of the first season finale. In the Firestorm (DC Comics) comics, they're enemies as Caitlin's comics counterpart is an evil supervillain, Killer Frost. Caitlin did eventually start turning into Killer Frost thanks to With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, but by that point she had been widowed for some time, as Ronnie had made a Heroic Sacrifice almost immediately after they eloped. Jesse Quick is the daughter of WWII heroes Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle in the comics; in the show she's the daughter of Canon Foreigner Harrison Wells.note Well, an Alternate Universe Wells; the main-universe Wells died childless. Savitar is Iris' fiancé through his own past/alternate self, Barry. In DC Rebirth, Barry had a daughter named Nora with Jessica Cruz, the first female Green Lantern from Earth. Here, Iris is her mother. Jay Garrick and Barry Allen have no familial connection in the comics. On the show Jay is the Alternate Universe counterpart of Barry's father Henry Allen, giving them a kind of father-son relationship, biologically at least. Likewise, Jay's wife Joan Williams, who also has no family-relationship with Barry in the comics, is a doppelganger of his mother Nora Allen in this verse. Legends of Tomorrow: The show features Sara Lance donning the White Canary identity, making the character related to the entire Black Canary family. In the comics, the White Canary is a villain and self-appointed Arch-Enemy of Black Canary. Supergirl (2015): The show re-imagined Non, one of General Zod's Co-Dragons in Superman II and the comics, as Supergirl's Evil Uncle through his marriage to her mother's Evil Twin. This also makes him a part of Superman's extended family. The show's version of Otis is the brother of Mercy Graves. Superman & Lois: In the Steel comics, Natasha Irons is the titular character's niece. Here, Natasha is the daughter of Steel and an alternate universe version of Lois Lane. In a Season 1 twist, Morgan Edge is revealed to be Lara Lor-Van's son from a prior marriage, and thus Superman's older half-brother. |

DuckTales: In the original 1987 series, Bubba the Caveduck was apparently a random prehistoric duck that ended up coming back to the present with Scrooge and the others during a Time Travel excursion. In the 2017 reboot, it's shown that Bubba is actually a prehistoric ancestor of the McDuck Family which regrettably meant that he had to stay in his own time rather than become a series regular. The reboot's series finale reveals that Webby Vanderquack is also a McDuck — she's Scrooge's daughter via cloning, created by F.O.W.L. to use against him. By extension, her clones May and June (who are based off two of Daisy's triplet nieces in the comics — Webby herself is a Composite Character with April, the third triplet) are also Scrooge's daughters. |

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha INNOCENT: INNOCENT made Linith and Teana (two characters whose only connection in the original continuity is a Master-Apprentice Chain, and they aren't even the same species) into sisters. The same is done with Jail and Quint, which makes their children all cousins. Somewhat downplayed as the Numbers were all sisters, but not biologically related. Downplayed with the six Nakajima sisters, who were all adopted in the original continuity but were changed to be the biological children of Genya and Quint. Even more downplayed with Ginga, Subaru, and Nove who were originally Quint's clones. Also downplayed with Uno, Due, Tre, Quattro and Sette who were still Jail's children in the original continuity, but were changed to all be his biological children. Even more downplayed with Uno, who's a female clone of Jail. Played for laughs when it's jokingly suggested that Sacred Heart is a descendant of Vita's stuffed rabbit. Vivio is implied to be Nanoha and Fate's biological daughter instead of being adopted. Inverted and downplayed regarding Fate. She was never adopted into the Harlaown family in the INNOCENT continuity since Precia is both alive and sane, but the family bond still exists due to Precia and Lindy being Heterosexual Life-Partners who are raising their kids side-by-side. |

In the English dub of Ultraman, Tagalong Kid Hoshino is the younger brother of Fuji, the sole woman on the team. Although quite fitting, given the two's relationship, the problem is that Fuji is shown to have a little brother later on in the original Japanese version. The dub adjusts by changing the later-introduced kid to one of Fuji's brothers. | |

Which, if true, means that she is in fact, like, a niece. Boomer is also an instance of Number Eight in the re-imagined series, so this Lieutenant Boomer and Lieutenant Athena are "identical twins", whereas the original Galactica's Lieutenant Boomer (who was a man) and Lieutenant Athena were completely unrelated. |

The Sailor Moon Cloverway English dub rather infamously made Sailors Uranus and Neptune cousins as something of a lazy fix to cover up the flirting between the two so it was appropriate for a '90s American kids' show. Unfortunately for the Moral Guardians, the change not only still made them come across as lesbians, but also incestuous lesbians. Which was so much better than just being lesbians. What was really ironic was that the change could've worked had Cloverway bothered to edit out any of the flirting between the two. Instead, the scenes were kept and characters repeatedly referred to them as cousins, even when they were villains who would logically have no way of knowing of their civilian identities.note For instance, Kaolinite captures Neptune in one episode and tells Uranus "Surrender, or this is the end of the road for your cousin here," while in the original Japanese version, she simply calls Neptune "Your friend." It wasn't so much the change itself that's infamous as much as how poorly it was done. It just made the fact that they were trying to hide what was really a lesbian relationship that much more obvious. Pulled again by Cloverway in a fourth season episode. Two one-shot characters were made brothers when they weren't related in the Japanese dub. Due to this the fandom suspects they were supposed to be a gay couple and this was the dubbers' way of hiding that. The fact that one of these characters was targeted by an undisguised Fisheye and the other one appears to have gotten jealous when Fisheye hit on him seems to support this notion. Also the fact that the Victim of the Week had a job stereotypically held by gay men: fashion designer. The Polish dub turned Kunzite and Zoisite into brothers to hide that they were very obviously a gay couple in the Japanese dub. Seems to have worked, though Zoisite was such a gay stereotype so obsessed with Kunzite that there was only so much the dubbers could do and sometimes the original romantic intentions slipped through, making it seem like dub!Zoisite was in love with his brother. Ironically this change was closer to what their relationship was in the manga; they're a gay couple only in the anime. |

In the original myths, Apollo and Artemis were the children of Zeus and Leto, while Aphrodite was either created spontaneously when Ouranos' genitals were thrown into the sea or was the daughter of Zeus and Dione. | |

Happens at several points in Once Upon a Time. Due to the Arc Welding between several different tales, unrelated stories and characters are tied together into the same family. Rumpelstiltskin is the son of Peter Pan. Regina, the Evil Queen from Snow White, is the daughter of the Queen of Hearts (who is also the miller's daughter from Rumpelstiltskin, with the Evil Queen being a Gender Flip of the baby from that story), and the sister of the Wicked Witch of the West. The families of Regina and Rumple are also tied to Snow White and Prince Charming through Emma, Neal, and Henry. Gerda is the mother of Elsa and Anna, and the original Snow Queen is her sister Ingrid. Played straight and inverted at the same time with the New Enchanted Forest version of the Tremaine family. The "wicked stepmother" (in addition to being Rapunzel) is actually Tremaine's first wife, meaning he's the biological father of Anastasia and Drusella and the stepfather of Ella; the exact reversal of the traditional version. In the spinoff series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, it's implied but never confirmed that the Red Queen of Wonderland (who later marries the Knave of Hearts, who is actually Will Scarlet) was one of Cinderella's stepsisters. (Since they're so often combined in adaptations, it should be noted that the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts are not the same person in Once, although the former was a friend and pupil of the latter in this version, whereas the originals didn't meet). The seventh season has Henry fulfilling the traditional role of Cinderella's prince, so now Cinderella's prince is the son of Snow White's Evil Queen. The version of Alice who appears in Season 7 is the daughter of Captain Hook and Mother Gothel. |

In the original 1987 series, Bubba the Caveduck was apparently a random prehistoric duck that ended up coming back to the present with Scrooge and the others during a Time Travel excursion. In the 2017 reboot, it's shown that Bubba is actually a prehistoric ancestor of the McDuck Family which regrettably meant that he had to stay in his own time rather than become a series regular. | |

Warcraft (2016): Happened to several characters from the game in this film. Orgrim Doomhammer and Durotan were originally from different clans, Blackrock and Frostwolf, and their friendship was considered unusual among orcs. Here, Orgrim is a Frostwolf and Durotan's second in command. Taria Wrynn, Llane's wife and Lothar's sister, didn't exist in the original and so didn't this link between Lothar and Llane. Garona, who was Medivh's lover (see Fanon Discontinuity) in the original, is implied to be his daughter here. |

Zig-zagged with Harvest Moon. The transition of Harvest Moon 64 to Harvest Moon: Back to Nature changed a large portion of the characters' relationship with one another. Karen used to be Sasha's and Gotz's daughter; however, in Back To Nature her father became Jeff, who was originally Elli's father figure (and love interest). Gotz is now a widower. Stu is Elli's little brother in Back To Nature. Originally he was unrelated. Rick was originally Gray's and Ann's cousin. In Back To Nature he is Popuri's older brother instead, despite still looking related to Ann (they're redheaded while Popuri has pink hair). |

He's Morgause's son in most of the legends, but here is a separate character. Morgause isn't even old enough to be his mother. Agravaine was also Morgause's son in the legends and actually Arthur's nephew - but in the series is Arthur's uncle, and is unrelated to Morgause because he's Igraine's brother and Morgause is no longer Igraine's daughter. |

The Power of Shazam adds a couple of these to Mary's backstory. She was still raised by the Bromsfields, but Nora Bromsfield is now a cousin of Marilyn Batson. In addition, Sarah Primm was the sister of Theo Adam, Black Adam's present-day descendant and host body. In the Fawcett comics, Adam didn't need a host body and had no known connection to Primm. Combined with making Theo responsible for the Batsons' death, her backstory goes from "Nurse randomly gives orphaned baby to rich lady rather than tell her her child died" to "Nanny is worried about what her brother might do to orphan, so takes her to live with relatives". (And she'd have done the same for Billy if he hadn't dropped off the grid by then.) | |

This trope is averted hard in all the anime adaptations of Saint Seiya. In the manga, is eventually revealed the five main characters are half brothers, and their father is Mitsumasa Kido. All the anime versions and spin offs omit this information, leaving the main characters as friends, with only two of them being brothers. | |
