-The Hayeses are pretty lazy, even by the low standards of The Pride- they're a pair of Mutants with identical powers. They manage to brainwash Cloak into forgetting about the Runaways until a blow to the head reminds him. They seem to have raised a rather innocent, dopey daughter, and don't appear to have been as abusive as many of the other Pride members. They take the longest of the Pride to conceive (Alice was at first unaware she could- this made her hesitant to accept the offer of the Gibborim). They had conspired secretly with the Deans to kill off the rest of the Pride and their children, retaining life for the six of them only.
-After their death against the Gibborim, Gene & Alice were revealed to possibly being the most-sadistic of the parents, having killed and tortured dozens of people for almost no reason for years- an old enemy of theirs kidnaps and nearly kills Molly (but not before revealing the depths of her parents' evil). Wolverine manages to defeat him, and reassures Molly that though her parents were evil people, they clearly must have at least loved HER.
-It's unclear just how powerful Gene & Alice are, but apparently one story features the two of them combining their powers to hold off Professor X. They didn't have a long run, so they could be anywhere from PL 7-10.
