| - Despite the Pride's allegiance to one another, rifts and alliances had been common amongst the group; indeed, the most notable of the alliance was the Hayes and Deans, who had plotted to kill the other remaining Pride members and take their place in the New Eden, believing themselves to be superior to the others. All members of the Pride were given titles by the Gibborim.
* Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder ("the Thieves") - parents of Alex. They are crime bosses who posed as business people. They handled drugs, gambling and robbing in Los Angeles. For this, these two established strong and powerful connections throughout the Los Angeles, a reason the Pride is able to frame their kids for murder and kidnap. Geoffrey had led the entire Pride.
* Dale and Stacey Yorkes ("the Travelers") - parents of Gert. They are time travelers who posed as antique dealers. The two, using a special 4-D portico, traveled all over time, and had stolen a dinosaur, mentally linking it with their daughter. They believed the Gibborim would make a better world, one that wasn't full of superheroes who had foiled their plans in the past (and presumably the future).
* Frank and Leslie Dean ("the Colonists") - parents of Karolina. They are alien exiles from "Majesdane", the homeworld of their race, who posed as Hollywood actors and New Age enthusiasts. The Deans are intergalactic arms traders to the Skrulls. Karolina's alien powers were inhibited for most of her life because of a med. alert bracelet forged from far-distance strong metal.
* Victor and Janet Stein ("the Wise Men") - parents of Chase. They are world-renown brilliant inventors, are known for making fortunes for what people believe are nessecities.They supposedly made a fortune from creating a tool that removes the annoying plastic wrapping easily from a CD. They also made "weaponized" gloves called Fistigons, multi-spectral goggles, the transport ship "the Leapfrog". Victor is the one parent often described as being the most abusive.
* Gene and Alice Hayes ("the Outcasts") - parents of Molly. The two are telepathic mutants who posed as a doctor and a speech therapist. They had no idea that their daughter was also a mutant until the other children ran away from their homes. Conspired with the Deans to get rid of all human members of the Pride in order to ensure immortality for their families. The two can telepathically remove all memory and sedate people.
* Robert and Tina Minoru ("the Magicians") - parents of Nico. The two are dark wizards who posed as an average, church-going, middle-class couple. When the Gibborim had first abducted the Pride from whatever they were doing, the Minorus were on their wedding day. In the Rite of Blood, Mr. Minoru conducts the enchanted spell of sacrifice.
