Batman's alternate-universe father is employing drastic measures to keep Bruce Wayne from being Batman. The Hulk's dad is messed up too. Are there no good dads in the fictional universes of comic books?

Well, how about this guy, the father of RJ, the confused young man taken in by the Winter Soldier after being brainwashed to become a trained killer?
