Serpentyne and her step-father, Malcolm Wilkins, don't get along well.
You may also be able to tell from the glowing green, irisless, eyes that he's not "normal".
He is the supehero known as Steadfast!
An expatriate British "Superman" type (or, more correctly, as "Wonder Man" type) who got embroiled in a scandal involving a certain trio of reality hopping demigods, and left Britain for the greener pastures of America.

Of course, those pastures provided archenemies like the shapeshifting thief and mob enforcer called Draconis - aka Donald Wyndham. When Steadfast defeated Draconis and sent him to prison, the Brit hero fell for the villain's wife, Marjorie, and, after a whirlwind romance, got married, much to the disgust of Marjorie's daughter, Skylar.

Neither Malcolm nor Marjorie know that Skylar has powers, or that she is a villain, but, they know that she isn't happy about her new family arrangement. They just think that she's "in need of structure".
Let's see how that works out for them.

For those wondering what happened with Steadfast's original family - THIS may be a clue[/ul]!
