The Marvel Universe has been telling ongoing and related stories in an untouched continuity that exists on a sliding timescale for over 80 years. This has resulted in the continued growth and development of popular characters abd sometimes even includes parenthood with the arrival of soon-to-be superhero children.
And while there are a few heroes who have carved their own paths as heroes and sometimes villains, there are a number of less-known characters like Skaar and Son of Hulk who followed in their parents' footsteps over the years to carry on a superhero legacy.

Skaar traveled to Earth where he found a new home in the Savage Land and briefly worked with a team of Dark Avengers. His twin brother Hiro-Kala didn't gain the strength of the Hulk initially and sought out a way to tap into his mother's Old Power which eventually saw him gain a New Power by combining it with Galactus' Power Cosmic as he attempted to find a new Sakaarian home.

Genis took on a few superhero names including Legacy and his father's Captain Marvel before moving to Photon.

Nocturne's parents in her home reality were alternate versions of Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch who had fallen in love.
