The ClanDestine (also known simply as ClanDestine[1]) is an appellation used to refer to the Destines, a fictional secret family of long-lived superhuman beings appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They were created in 1994 by British writer/artist Alan Davis, and appear in various comic book series published by Marvel Comics. They first appeared in Marvel Comics Presents #158 (July 1994)[2] before going on to appear in their own self-titled monthly series, The ClanDestine, which lasted twelve issues before it was cancelled. The characters subsequently appeared in a number of miniseries and one-shots, all written and drawn by Davis. The name ClanDestine, which is a play on the word clandestine, is used primarily as the title of the series in which the family stars, and is not generally used by the characters within the stories.

Fictional history
Adam of Ravenscroft was born in the village of Ravenscroft
Relative strangers
Over the next few centuries Adam and Elalyth had many children, all of whom inherited superhuman abilities and were extremely long-lived. As civilization advanced, and the advent of modern technology made it more difficult for members of the family to disappear or pass themselves off as their own descendants, one of Adam's children, Newton, set up the Relative Stranger Protocol.[11] The protocol would create new identities for the long-lived family members whenever they required it and would protect the family should one of them be uncovered. In the late 20th century, after Adam's son Vincent destroyed the family manor,[5] Adam killed him,[12] because Adam felt he had become "evil".[13] The family fell apart after that. Dominic, who saw Adam's actions as unforgivable, became a hermit, living in solitude on a small island.[12] Elalyth returned to her mystical home of Yden,[7] and Adam, who saw his slaying of Vincent as a betrayal of her love,[10] left Earth, traveling through outer space in a vehicle created by Newton. The newly born twins, Rory and Pandora, were left with Walter Destine, who posed as their uncle and guardian, and Florence, who posed as their grandmother.[4]
Imp and the Crimson Crusader
Rory and Pandora's powers activated far earlier than those of their siblings, because they were twins.[5] The children, believing they were mutants, decided to become superheroes. As the Crimson Crusader and Imp, they set out to battle crime. One evening they discover two groups, a creature named Lenz and his "children", and Dr. Hywel Griffin and his Omegans, fighting over a device called the Gryphon. Not knowing which side to help, the children grab the device and flee, intending to return it once they determine its rightful.
"Gryphon" is revealed to be an acronym for the device, its full name being Genetic Realignment Yield Polarity Harmonizing Orientation Net. It has the ability to genetically remodel a fully developed organism, irrespective of its age or genetic composition. Lenz, a former human scientist mutated into a monstrous new form by
When the Destines return home, Adam agrees to respect Walter's status as the twins' guardian, as Adam feels he relinquished that right when left Earth eleven years previously. Walter wants the children to return to school and live normal lives, even threatening to split them up after they get into trouble at school. The children flee to New York to become full-time superheroes,[14] but Spider-Man convinces them to return home.[15] Dominic and Adam convinced Walter to allow the twins to go out at night on "crime patrol" confronting only petty crime, with the adults taking turns chaperoning them.[16]
Dream sequence
Series creator Alan Davis left the series after issue #8. The series continued for four more issues under the creative team of writer
X-Men and The ClanDestine
This two-part series featured the first appearance of family member Gracie, who had been mentioned before. Years previously, Gracie and Cuckoo had banished a demon called Synraith from Earth many years ago with the help of a younger and less experienced Charles Xavier. In the miniseries, the Synraith returns and tries eliminate the three who stopped him. The X-Men and the Destines team up to stop the demon and save their family members.[5][18]
ClanDestine Volume 2
A five-issue ClanDestine miniseries debuted on February 5, 2008, written and illustrated by Alan Davis. In this series, Dr. Griffin and the Omegans again attack the Destines. In the course of the story, what happened to Thaddeus in 1374 is revealed. Newton builds a device to help Dominic ameliorate the effects of his powerful senses. Dominic also travels through time and space, and encounters the superhero group
Marvel Tales by Alan Davis
In mid-2012 Alan Davis wrote and illustrated a trio of annuals under the brand "Marvel Tales by Alan Davis", which featured the ClanDestine as guest stars, including Vincent, in his first canonical appearances:
In Fantastic Four Annual #33, which reveals the circumstances under which Adam killed Vincent, the American superhero adventurers
In Daredevil Annual #1, the Destines travel to New York tracking a robot called the Plastoid. Cuckoo believes that it is inhabited by a parasitic elemental, whom she intends to banish back to its native dimension. Dominic and the rest of the Destines, however, believe the robot is in fact inhabited by Vincent's spirit, and aim to stop Cuckoo from destroying it. During this conflict they also encounter Daredevil and Doctor Strange, who assist the family. Daredevil destroys the Plastoid, releasing Vincent's spirit.[24]
The storyline concludes in Wolverine Annual (vol 2) #1, which includes a flashback depicting a prior adventure that Adam shared with
Members
Living members
Although there is a core group of family members, Alan Davis has stated there are an unknown number of other family members who usually keep to themselves.[3][4] For this reason, the following family members are listed here in approximate order of age, based on the family tree given in the 2008 The ClanDestine miniseries, and other sources. Rik Destine, whose birth order is unknown, is placed before Rory and Pandora Destine, because the latter are known to be the youngest members of the family. All of the Destines, especially Adam, have a mental link to their family, allowing them to sometimes feel when other family members are in danger.
Adam Destine – Adam was born Adam of Ravenscroft in 1168. While fighting in the Third Crusade, he rescued a
Adam is immune to any injury, and cannot be harmed by any weapon or attack,[13][16] including psychic attack.[13] Attempts by his daughter Kay to read his mind, in fact, result in pain for her, because of the "clairvoyant insight" he has developed due to his advanced age. He almost never feels pain, with two exceptions: When he senses when one of his children has died or is led to believe by his precognitive abilities that one of his children's death is imminent,[6] and when Vincent, under the possession of an interdimensional demon, attacked him with mystical energy.[23] He does not require nourishment, can survive in the vacuum of outer space,[12] and does not need to sleep.[14] While he is visible in the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum perceivable to humans, he is invisible to scans using higher wavelengths.[26] Because Adam's abilities are magical in origin, he appears to the Silver Surfer's cosmic senses to be human, without any biological or mechanical enhancements that the Surfer can perceive.[12] He even lacks a scent that can be detected by the X-Man Wolverine,[25] whom he met at some point in his travels.[18] Having watched his children grow old and die, he came to see his long existence as a curse, and finds that because of his invulnerability, his senses are numbed, and he does not feel pleasure any more than he feels pain. In the first ClanDestine storyline, Adam even asks the Silver Surfer if he knows how he can die.[10][12] Dominic has observed that Adam no longer exhibits the basic responses of survival instinct, such as scanning his surroundings or flinching in anticipation of danger, never twitching nor fidgeting because he never tires. Adam concedes that this gives only a vague awareness of what he touches. Dominic feels that what is worse is Adam's emotional detachment, his lack of expression, and aloofness, as if he is bored with human existence, and feels Adam is not applying the great intellect he accumulated over eight centuries to himself.[15] Adam initially feels that Elalyth never forgave him for killing Vincent, but Albert does not believe this, pointing out that he still has her protection of immortality, though Adam fears that this is so that he could live a life tortured by guilt. He is reunited with Elalyth, who is very much happy to see him, in ClanDestine (Vol. 2) #5.[27]
Elalyth – a green-skinned being called a Djinn, similar to a
Jasmine Destine, also known as Kay Cera and as Cuckoo – the first born of Adam and Elalyth's children,
Cuckoo can read the minds of others, project telepathic illusions,[12] project her astral body, bring the astral bodies of other people to her location,[10] and when mortally wounded, transfer her mind to the bodies of other humans and even animals in order to prolong her life.[12] She can also put someone into a coma in order to protect them from psychic attack, or use that person as a conduit through which she can psychically attack someone else. She is unable to read the minds of Lenz's creatures (though she was able to sense enough of their minds to be frightened of them[10]), nor is she any match for Lenz himself.[13] She is also unable to read her father's mind, as it causes her great pain,[6] and is not as powerful a telepath as Charles Xavier, who easily repelled her unwanted telepathic advances.[18] Jasmine can also project telekinetic blasts.[7] She noticed that she lost a degree of control since transferring to her current host.[5] Her psychic powers always experience "glitches" when she settles into a new host body, especially when the death of the previous one is particularly violent.[29]
She is a hedonist, and will use her powers for her own benefit, casually reading or manipulating the minds of others without their permission, out of curiosity, personal gain or anger, much to the disapproval of others.[30] Walter does not approve of how she indulges the twins' superhero fantasies, or how she visits only when her lifestyle permits it, buying the twins' affections with gifts.[5][13][14] Unlike Dominic, Kay supports Adam's killing of Vincent, saying that he was a "bad seed".[6]
Alan Davis designed her out of his love of drawing "impossibly beautiful" women. He originally called her Mosaic (describing her fractured psyche), but DC had just published a book with "Mosaic" in the title, so her codename was to be Kimera, but Namorita's name was changed to Kymera just before the series was published, forcing Davis to again change her name. He describes her as "Confident. Non-conformist. Practical but stylish."[31] Cuckoo's current body is sometimes depicted as a Caucasian, and other times with brown skin of varying darkness.[a]
Albert Destine – a monk in the Seventh Moon temple in Nepal,[4] who has the ability to heal others. Albert suffered terribly when he attempted to use his powers to stem the Black Death that had swept through Europe, though the details of this part of his life have not been specified. In the winter of 1374, he was being escorted to the Shalu Monastery in Shigatse, Tibet by Adam and his brother Thaddeus, and when Thaddeus was knocked over a cliff by an army of zombies led by the Inhuman Tral, the normally pacifistic Albert lashed out, discovering his healing ability could be used as a weapon, and killed Tral, much to his subsequent regret.[26] In 1615 Albert and Grace were in Japan protecting the Shogun Tokugawa during a coup.[16] On many occasions he has healed a mortally wounded human body that Cuckoo acquired as a host. After healing the fatal stab wounds incurred by her current host, he informed her that this would be the very last time he would do so, vowing that when she lost this host, she would die.[10] Like Kay, Gracie and Nathaniel, he is a practitioner of the mystic arts, but has never been adept as they in using them.[29] Among his mystical abilities is the ability to teleport people across large distances. The range of this power is unknown, but he once transported his father from the United Kingdom to Nepal,[26][29] and then from Nepal to Iran.[7]
Grace "Gracie" Destine – born in 1503, Grace is an archeologist with strong telepathic and telekinetic powers. In 1519, when she and Cuckoo (inhabiting the body of a Spanish nobleman) were in the newly discovered Mexico, exploring the territory with
Newton Destine – a superhuman genius whose talents include mechanical engineering, chemistry, medicine and surgery.[18] He built the ClanDestine's advanced technology and set up the Relative Strangers Protocol. He vanished to Etherea, an alternate Earth in another dimension, during Rory and Pandora's infancy, but teleports back to Earth whenever Dominic calls him, using a special signal watch. While Warlord of the planet Ethera, he had another body engineered on Narcissus 4, one that is taller and far more muscular, and therefore more suited to the lifestyle of a leader, and when using this body, he keeps his original body in suspended animation,[12][26] as he prefers that more meek body for intellectual pursuits.[13] In addition to teleportational devices, he has also built sophisticated powered armor suits and weapons. Newton wears a device called a "psi-shield" to prevent Kay from probing his mind. Time moves faster on Etherea than on Earth. Three Etherean days are equivalent to nine Earth hours, which often allows Newton to respond to the signal watch and build devices apparently quickly.[26] Despite his genius, he is not a theoretician, as his science is practical and instinctive.[23]
Walter "Wallop" Destine – Walter is a writer of romance novels under the pseudonym Sabrina Bentley, who has the ability to transform into a large, hulking blue creature with immense strength and invulnerability. He usually maintains his personality and intelligence in this state, but when pushing his ability to transform larger and larger, his hair becomes aflame,[4][14][28] and he is prone to losing his temper, and going berserk. He can also inadvertently transform if he loses his temper or if it is triggered by psychic attack. Transforming back to human form takes a long time,[13] and is often not complete, as sometimes his ears or feet will remain in their monstrous state.[5]
Walter is at least 200 years old, and has experienced conflict in numerous wars. He was in
William "Oz" Chance – an actor who plays the role of Cap'n Oz in action movies. He has peak human strength and acrobatic agility. He first appeared in The ClanDestine (Vol. 1) #2.[29] He was present at the 1969 Woodstock festival with Dominic and the adolescent Vincent.[23]
Dominic "Hex" Destine – as a child, Dominic, who has bright red hair and pale green skin, felt neglected by Adam, whom he saw as aloof. After developing his super senses in adulthood, he became an illusionist and escapologist named Hex. His costume is the one he used as a performer. Prior to Vincent's death, during one performance in New York City's Greenwich Village, an encounter with a Chinese puzzle box caused him to fall into an occult dimensional realm, from which he was rescued by Doctor Strange.[16] After Adam killed Vincent, and because Walter allowed him to, Dominic, who harbored resentment towards them, retreated to a remote island for eleven years, in part because his enhanced senses are overwhelmed in more urban areas.[12] Although Dominic moved to the Destine family estate following Adam's return to Earth, he refused a reconciliation with Adam, saying that he would never forgive him for killing Vincent.[14] He went to live on Etherea with Newton at the end of ClanDestine (Vol. 2) #5.[27]
Walter describes Dominic as quite brilliant, with a capacity for flawless deductive reasoning. This, and his enhanced senses, make him the ultimate sleuth. He is an expert hand-to-hand fighter with a slim, athletic build, and his knowledge of pressure points and nerve clusters
Samantha "Sam" Destine – an artist who has the power to generate and shape a metallic ectoplasmic[5] armor and weapons around her. The design of the armor is an unconscious expression of her artistic mind, as it reacts to her thoughts. The shape and hardness of her metal forms are varied, as she can also generate a set of wings like a hang glider.[10][12] The armor's beauty and strength can make flesh seem repulsive to her, and as a result, she has grown apart from ordinary people. The armor acts as a second skin, with a sense of touch similar to her own flesh.[12] She is the youngest of the known Destine adults. She was born in the early 1950s, and was about the twins' current age in 1963.[12] She graduated from college in 1972, and as part of the Relative Stranger Protocol, goes by the name Samantha Hassard of Perpignan, France.[6] Alan Davis, who describes her as "aloof, brooding [and] exotic", explained that he originally designed the character, nicknamed Argent, in 1991 for a series that he and Paul Neary tried to develop. Davis made her armor constantly changing, in order to alleviate the tedium of drawing its detail with accurate continuity.[3]
Rik Destine – nothing is known of Rik other than his name, and the fact that he is alive, as Kay mentions in ClanDestine (Vol. 2) #3.[29]
Rory and Pandora Destine – whereas Adam's other children manifested their abilities in adulthood,[14] 11-year-old twins[b] Rory and Pandora manifested their abilities six months prior to The ClanDestine (Vol.1) #1 because as twins, their powers stimulate each other when in close proximity,[5] and only manifest themselves as such. The exact maximum distance they can be separated and still use their powers is unknown, but they can be separated by a number of rooms and corridors and still use them.[13]
Rory has the ability to manipulate gravity. This allows him to fly, to make objects extremely heavy, or light enough to float or throw them, to create forcefields that can protect him from bullets, and to crush small objects. He can crush a live grenade whose pin has been pulled, and keep it from harming others when it explodes.[4][15] Since he is a child, the full potential of his powers is unknown. He can, for example, lift up Dominic and a transformed Walter,[12] but during the X-Men encounter, when Walter loses control of his transformations and turns into a much larger incarnation of himself, Rory can only lift him up slightly by his feet.[18] Rory fights crime under the superhero codename the Crimson Crusader, and loves following all the superhero clichés.
Pandora has the ability to manipulate light. She can project beams of light powerful enough to pulverize boulders[12] or focus them to create laser beams that can instantly cut through objects.[15] She can bend light around her and other objects in order to make them invisible.[27] Although she joins Rory on his superhero jaunts, during which she uses the codename Imp, she is not as obsessed with being a superhero as Rory is.
Members of unknown status
- Nathaniel Destine - all that is known about Nathaniel is that like Kay, Gracie and Albert, he is a practitioner of the mystic arts, but according to Albert, Nathaniel is far more adept with them than Albert himself is.[29]
Deceased members
- Thaddeus Destine - Thaddeus was the second oldest of Adam and Elalyth's known children, and their oldest known son.[27] Thaddeus was a warrior born with the ability to adopt the aspect of any beast. He was a highly skilled fighter with great strength and speed. In the winter of 1374, he was knocked off a snow cliff in Tibet by the Inhuman, Tral, while he and Adam escorted Albert to a monastery, falling to his death. In his only appearance to date, Thaddeus' face and body were covered with striped fur, like that of a tiger, but his human appearance has not been seen.[26]
- Vincent Destine - Vincent first appeared in the form of a 1963 still photograph in issue #2 of the original series.retconned the events of those two previous issues as having never happened, establishing through Rory's dialogue that those events were a nightmare of his.[5] Vincent's first canonical appearance was in Fantastic Four Annual #33, in which it was revealed that he had the ability to teleport himself and others across both time and space, enabling him to visit settings that included the Jurassic era, Ancient Rome and the 1969 Woodstock festival, though he did not develop the skill to control the destinations until he was older. He also had the ability to shrink people down in size. As a young boy, he used his powers to summon the Thing and the Human Torch, whom he believed were elementals that he had conjured for his bidding. Traveling forward through time would cause him to apparently disappear for months and years to his family, which greatly disturbed them. By the time he was a young man, he had become inspired by a poet and philosopher named Pitor, and sought his counsel for an "insoluble dilemma", but was grief-stricken when Pitor was beaten to death by skinheads, and became suicidal over how his life had become "a knot of temporal paradox". He was also angered at his family for what he perceived as their apathy towards global suffering, characterizing them as "self-absorbed parasites". After discovering that Vincent was possessed by a demonic energy that was unleashing his destructive potential, Adam, feeling that he had failed to protect Vincent, fatally snapped his neck.[23] Dominic holds this against Adam, but Walter and Kay support Adam's actions, arguing that it had to be done.[12]
- Florence "Flo" Destine - Flo pretended to be Rory and Pandora's grandmother. In the introductory storyline, she is killed by Lenz's creatures. With her dying breath, she tells Walter to inform the twins of the truth about the family.[4]
- Maurice Fortuit - A red-haired man, the full nature of his powers has not been revealed, but he is able to generate some type of energy around his hands. He is killed by Lenz's creatures at his mountain top chalet in the Swiss Alps near St. Moritz. Albert saw Maurice as an alive, passionate fighter, and a good man, but lamented that his temper would be the death of him.[4]
- Garth, Sherlock, and Lance Destine All that is known about them are their headstones on the Destine property.[9]
- Adam's parents - their gravestones are seen in the family graveyard.[9] Kay met them in 1209 on the family property, when it was a Saxon village.[5]

Notes
^ b: The twins' age is derived from the fact that Adam left Earth for 11 years, according to The ClanDestine (Vol. 1) #2, and Kay said he had not seen them since they were infants when he reunited with them at the end of #4.
