I don't follow the storylines of comics very closely (despite starting
to read comics again after a two decade hiatus), so I'm curious if the
extended Superman family still exists. The supermonkey, superhorse,
supersecond-cousin-once-removed-on-his-mother's-side stuff always
struck me as silly.

Nearly all origin stories are silly, because they're thought up after
marketing decides they need a character. Hard water fumes indeed!

Mary Marvel, despite being thought up by marketing, was an interesting
exception, especially as reimagined for the Power of Shazam series.
