Jocasta Puts the Puzzle Together (after Loraux's Tragic Ways of Killing a Woman), Casey J. King

Clues with a γ are Greek words. Phrases in quotes (that aren't Lear) are headers from Loraux. This is in the rough shape of a different poetry form, if you can figure it out. Good luck.

(solutions here) (also inspired by Iphigenia asks the Pythia about her fate)

The Avengers family tree is bonkers

Hank Pym is Ultron’s dad, who is Vision’s dad, who is Viv’s dad

Vision is brain-brothers with Wonder Man, who is actual brothers with Grim Reaper

Vision had kids with Scarlet Witch, who is siblings with Quicksilver as they are Magneto’s kids

Magneto has another kid, Polaris

Vision & Wanda’s kids are Wiccan and Speed, and Wiccan is married to Hulking, who is the child of Mar-Vell

Mar-Vell had two other kids, Genis & Phyla

Quicksilver had a kid (Luna) with Crystal, who’s part of the Inhuman royal family

Ultron made wives for himself TWICE and had another kid in Victor Mancha

Hank Pym sorta kinda had a kid with Tigra (William), and had a daughter from his (dead) first wife (Nadia), who was adopted by his second (and ex) wife Janet van Dyne

Also Ultron’s first wife is based on Jan, his dad’s wife. This is arguably not part of the family tree but I wanted to mention it

Underappreciated Superheroine of the Day Issue #6 - Iron Maidens - Jocasta a/k/a Bride of Ultron and Avenger par excellence.

Our next underappreciated superheroine is the amazing Jocasta from Marvel Comics. Jocasta, namesake of the Greek mother / wife of Oedipus, was created by Ultron to be his wife.

She first appeared in Avengers #162 and was created by Jim Shooter and George Perez. Jocasta was meant to host the essence of Janet Van Dym (the heroic Wasp). Realizing that Janet would have to die for Ultron's sinister process to work, Jocosta betrayed her creator. She died in the process. But, Hank Pym was able to revive Jocosta and she become a stellar member of the Avengers.
