  • In Astro City, most members of the First Family are this to every degree imaginable. While Dr. Augustus Furst and his brother Julius are fully human, Augustus' adopted twins Nick and Natalie are half-human, half-Beast Man hybrids. Then Natalie marries the monster prince of an underground city and have a daughter Astra, while Nick marries a human woman and have twins Karl and Sasha with their own powers...
  • Deep Sea: The baby that Patricia gives birth two is this, due to her somehow getting knocked up by the giant multi-limbed blob monster that's the source of the world's Crudelis.
  • Dynamo5: Spencer's mom wasn't from around here. He only looks human thanks to the shapeshifting, which he already has thanks to government experiments that included exposing him to the radiation that gave Cap his powers.
  • Gold Digger:
    • One of the three Diggers sisters, Brianna Diggers, is a half-werecheetah half-human. Any questions on how that could happen genetically are neatly bypassed by her being the combination of her two other sisters via a combination of a magic curse and mad science (the werecheetah and human siblings being sisters in the first place by the simpler mechanism of adoption).
    • Also the aforementioned Werecheetah sister marrying a feline humanoid alien and having a child. How did that work out?
    • It was revealed that the Diggers sisters' father is also a hybrid — his father was human, but his mother was a living alien (albeit of Terran origin) supercomputer with a humanoid body. Ah, love... Anyway, while the Diggers sisters' mother is unquestionably human, she is from another planet and her parents are also from two completely different cultures. One might theorize a strong genetic resistance against inbreeding...
    • In addition said feline humanoid (Kryn) is actually another type of humanoid entirely (Gaoblin) that ages ago killed off and replaced four separate races (Kryn, Elves, Trolls and Atlanteans) as a way of hiding from the universe who wanted them dead for their service to the Dynasty. AND he's been bonded with several highly powerful artifacts. So he's an alien with an outer shell of DNA from another race and who knows what else affecting his gene pool. The world's resident genetic expert says that the husband's DNA is probably the most complex he's ever seen.
  • Hellboy is half-human, the result of a union between the witch Sarah Hughes and the demon duke Azzael.
  • Hybrid Force: All the members of Testify are genetically engineered hybrids of human and, well, anything. It depends on each individual member. Dr. Insomnia is even half snake, having genetically altered his own body sometime before the events of the comic.
  • Incandescence: Mari is the product of her human mother and crocodile-man father. Maybe this makes her a three-quarter human hybrid?
  • Khaal: The Chronicles of a Galactic Emperor has the titular Villain Protagonist being a Child by Rape involving a human father and psicog mother.
  • The WildCATs are mainly half-Kherubim, an immortal super-powered alien race. It's not until many years after they were created that this was justified by having Earth be a planet terraformed by the Kherubim billions of years ago for their own needs, basing our DNA on theirs.
  • ElfQuest:
    • Rosie from ElfQuest: The Rebels is an artificially-generated blend of human and preserver.
    • The official ElfQuest AU story 'King's Cross' has a human/elf hybrid, and HUGE helpings of magic are involved. Normally, a human/elf hybrid in the ElfQuest verse is impossible. (Wolves have four more pairs of chromosomes then humans. Pure-blooded elves can intermarry with the wolf-blooded Wolfriders. Ergo, no human interbreeding.) The hybrid in question does wind up being a little more elf then human, though.
  • The hero and his half-brother in Invincible are both Viltrumite hybrids. Mark is human on his mother's side while Oliver is part sapient alien insect on his mother's side. Since Viltrumite reproductive DNA is just as aggressive and ruthless as the race, a Viltrumite hybrid usually turns out to be all but identical to a full blooded one. Mark is indistinguishable from other Viltrumites, and Oliver, despite being part sapient alien insect, only has purple skin and very fast physical maturation to distinguish him.
  • Parodied in Scott Pilgrim, where Roxanne is described as being "half-ninja."
  • In ClanDestine, the Destines are the children of the genie Elalyth and Adam of Destine, a human who was granted immortality and invulnerability by said genie after he rescued her and they fell in love. The kids are all incredibly long-lived, but not immortal, and have superpowers of varying degrees of usefulness.
  • Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Sabrina has a human mother and warlock father. Originally she was an Artificial witch but later she was retconned into a more traditional human/witch hybrid.
  • Sweet Tooth has children with half-animal features following the decimation of the human population. Gus, the main character, has deer-like features.
  • Şerafettin the Bad Cat was conceived when his mother (a cat) accidentally sat on some human semen. Apart from having eyebrows he just looks like a cat, though.

  • If Hero's mother's story in The One Hundred Nights of Hero is true (she admittedly isn't certain), Hero's mother is half human and half Weird Moon.
  • Duncan, the main character of Firebreather, is half human and half Kaiju-sized dragon.
  • Alan Moore's Providence puts an especially terrifying twist on this trope and it's usage in the Cthulhu Mythos: Cthuhlu himself is half-human, the child of a deep one and a human woman. What this says about humanity is up for debate. Even creepier, it's noted that this actually has precedent in Lovecraft's stories; of all the fictional gods in the mythos, Cthulhu was the only one who was always described or depicted as humanoid.
  • The titular character of Billy Majestic's Humpty Dumpty is the hybrid offspring of an alien woman who was raped by a human redneck.
  • The hybrid Arcanics in Monstress rival pureblooded humans as the world’s dominant species. They are part-human and part-Ancient (a race of immortal, beast-like mages), inheriting the mortality and fertility of the former and some of the magical talent of the latter, and in appearance range from full Beast Man to completely human and everything in between, but the vast majority of Arcanics are children of other Arcanics — not least because the relationship between humans and Ancients/Arcanics these days can be summed up as "mortal enemies." Humans also have a roaring Arcanic slave trade as their body parts can be rendered down for extremely valuable magical Phlebotinum, which doesn’t much help relationships between the two races. (Ancients are also targeted, but Arcanics are much less rare and more easily captured.)
