The Nuclear Family are a group of nuclear-powered androids and enemies to the Outsiders. Designed by Dr. Eric Shanner as duplicates of his own family after they all succumbed to the effects of radiation poisoning, their behavior is based on stereotypical middle-class 'nuclear family' households as depicted in 1950s sitcoms. Members of the "family" include Dad, Mom, Biff, Sis, Brat, and Dog. The Nuclear Family was created by Mike W. Barr and Jim Aparo, first appearing in Outsiders #1. (1985)
