Grimm Hunters

Nick Burkhardt, an eponymous Grimm is a homicide detective, whose Aunt Marie tells him that he is descended from a line of hunters, called Grimms, who fight supernatural forces. Even before his abilities manifested, Nick had an exceptional ability to make quick and accurate deductions about the motivations and pasts of individuals, which has now expressed itself as his ability to perceive aspects of the supernatural that nobody else can see. - Wikipedia

Kelly Burkhardt is a Grimm who is also Nick Burkhardt's mother. Her first appearance was in the last episode of season 1 (episode 22). For 18 years Nick had believed that both of his parents had died in a car crash. Only after learning that he was a Grimm did Nick find out that his parents had actually been murdered. - Wikipedia

Post-Apocalyptic Family

Post-apocalyptic fiction is set in a world or civilization after such a disaster. The time frame may be immediately after the catastrophe, focusing on the travails or psychology of survivors, or considerably later, often including the theme that the existence of pre-catastrophe civilization has been forgotten (or mythologized). Post-apocalyptic stories often take place in a non-technological future world, or a world where only scattered elements of technology remain. - Wikipedia

Male Costume Contest Winner - Wolverine

Wolverine is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Born James Howlett and commonly known as Logan, Wolverine is a mutant who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities and a healing factor that allows him to recover from virtually any wound, disease, or toxin at an accelerated rate. The healing factor also slows down his aging process, enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. His powerful healing factor enabled him to survive having the near-indestructible metal alloy adamantium bonded to his skeleton. He is most often depicted as a member of the X-Men, Alpha Flight, or later the Avengers. - Wikipedia
