Appearances: ClanDestine #1-12, X-Men/ClanDestine.

The Clan Destine are a family of immortals. The patriarch of the clan is Adam Destine. He rescued a genie from captivity, and the pair ended up falling in love and marrying. Their children were born with various superpowers and extended lifespans, the former courtesy of their mother, the genie, and the latter courtesy of the genie's gift to their father. The exact number of the Destine family is unknown, but probably number in the dozens, at least. They have been around, and semi-active, for centuries. One of their actions in the recent, pre-Fantastic Four #1 past was an encounter with Charles Xavier. In the modern era a villain began killing Destine family members, causing them to come together to defeat the villain.

Their members include:

• Adam Destine, an English Crusader and knight born in 1168. As a teenager he fell on a scythe; a genie visited him in a vision and helped him recover, granting him extended life. In 1189, while fighting in the First Crusade, Adam encountered an evil sorcerer who was keeping the genie hostage. Adam killed the sorcerer and freed the genie. They married, and she bore him many children, all with the extended lifespan that she'd granted Adam. In 1612 Adam helped establish the Romanov dynasty in Russia. In 1615, on his way to rendezvous with Albert and Gracie in Japan, he was attacked by alien lifeforms, who on finding that they could not harm him grew frightened and left Earth. When his son Vincent went "evil," approximately eleven years prior to ClanDestine #1, Adam slew him, thus dividing the family. Adam took a psychedelic van into space and remained there until the events of ClanDestine #1. Adam is completely indestructible and immortal, as well as being a skilled fighter.
• Kay, the first-born of Adam's children, is nicknamed "Cuckoo" for her ability to take over the bodies of various people when she "dies." In 1519 Kay, in the body of a Spanish nobleman, joined Cortez's conquistadors, taking Gracie with her, but the pair turned against Cortez when the conquistadors attacked the Aztecs. (Kay would appear to have been particularly clueless about the conquistadors' intentions.) She has occupied a wide range of races and sexes over the years. In addition to a greatly extended lifespan she has a variety of mental powers, including telepathy, mind control, and astral projection.
• Samantha, who at the time of the family portrait in 1963 was a young girl. She has the power to create weapons and armor out of a protoplasmic metal using only her thoughts.
• Walter. In 1839 he used his superstrength to dig Maurice out of a landslide. In 1904 he wrestled a Kodiak grizzly bear. In 1944 Walter was with Allied military intelligence and had an encounter with a Nazi machine; the Invaders confronted the machine, but it was prepared for them and temporarily halted them. Walter attacked it, and the machine was destroyed, but the other soldiers, on seeng Walter's inhuman form, attacked him. Walter has the power to grow in size and strength to a seemingly limitless degree.
• Rory and Pandora, who are in their teens. Rory can control gravity for flight, energy fields and superstrength. Pandora can fire laser beams.
• Dominic. He has extremely super-developed senses, to an uncanny degree.
• Newton. He has the ability to invent and build things of extremely advanced technology.
• Gracie. She was born in 1503. In 1519, disguised as a teenage boy, she accompanied Kay on a trip to Mexico with the Spanish conquistadors, but sided with the Aztecs when the conquistadors revealed their greed. In 1615 she was in Japan with Albert helping to protect the Tokugawa Shogunate from a coup. She has various psychic powers.
• Maurice. In 1839 he was somehow buried in a landslide and required Walter's help to extricate himself. He was killed during the events of the miniseries. He had the power to project energy beams.
• Albert. In 1615 he was with Gracie in Japan, protecting the Tokugawa Shogunate from a coup attempt. He has mental powers, including precognition and astral projection, and can heal at an accelerated rate.
• Florence. She was killed during the events of the miniseries. She had precognitive abilities.
• Vincent. All that is known of him is that he turned "evil" at one point, that Adam killed him, and that this event tore the family apart.

William. He has highly developed physical abilities.
