Beautiful Dreamer
During the original Kirby run, it was implied that Beautiful Dreamer was linked romantically to Mark Moonrider, although the exact nature of their relationship was never specified. In the 1988 miniseries, it was established that Dreamer had been married to Big Bear, and together they had a child, named Maya after the spirit of their old Mother Box. Since then, their marriage and daughter has been voided by a retcon during John Byrne's Jack Kirby's Fourth World series. When last shown, Dreamer was romantically involved with Takion.
In the out-of-continuity Elseworlds story Superman & Batman: Generations, Beautiful Dreamer and Superman marry and have two children, Lar-El and Vara. They and Beautiful Dreamer are later killed by Darkseid.
Powers and abilities
Like all the children of New Genesis, Beautiful Dreamer possesses the advanced physiology of a New God; she is extremely long-lived, has a limited degree of superhuman strength, resistance and reflexes. She is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. She has psionic powers that allow her to create illusions and to scan people's minds to produce familiar images. These illusions are powerful enough to, for example, make someone believe they are leading a prisoner when they are only carrying empty chains. In addition, she has been able to feel the fluctuations within the Source.

Big Bear
Big Bear had been married to Beautiful Dreamer, and she had been pregnant with their daughter. A shift in time resulted in the marriage never happening and the child never having existed. This traumatized Beautiful Dreamer for a time. In Forever People #7, he was shown to have been responsible for the historical event that led to the legend of King Arthur.[18]
Powers and abilities
A skilled hand-to-hand combatant, Big Bear is among the strongest of the children of New Genesis. He possesses superhuman strength, capable of bending steel and hurling giant redwood trees almost effortlessly. Big Bear's atomic structure is reinforced by a constant flow of high-density atoms, which he can direct at will to reinforce the power of his impacts. He is also the pilot of the Super-Cycle and an avid Earth history buff.

Mark Moonrider
During the original Kirby run, Beautiful Dreamer had been linked romantically to Mark Moonrider, although the exact nature of their relationship was never specified. In the 1988 miniseries set on Adon, Mark was shown to have fallen in love with, and later married, one of the natives, Mina. They had three children (Merry, Wendy and Starbright), but when the shift in time caused by the Darkness' actions undid the events which 'evolved' the natives, this marriage never occurred, leaving Mark with only his friends.
Powers and abilities
In addition to being extremely long-lived, Mark Moonrider has superhuman strength and reflexes and is resistant to conventional injury. Also, he has a keen mind with good leadership skills and he is well-trained in hand-to-hand combat. He possesses a Megaton Touch. With it, he can cause a tremendous explosion, and no doubt could easily kill with it if he and his companions were not sworn never to take a life. Used at low intensity, it can cause a severe shock. On one occasion, he used his megaton touch to turn solid rock into lava.

Serifan
Serifan is the youngest member of the group, as well as the most vulnerable. The Dark saw this and possessed Serifan, using him to conquer Forevertown and plague the Forever People. After the Dark was defeated he returned to his normal self.
Powers and abilities
Serifan possesses limited telepathic powers, and wields "cosmic cartridges" that serve various purposes when wielded. For example, the cartridges can link Serifan to the Source, create force fields, drain energy, manipulate gravity, modify atomic density, generate intense heat, power vehicles, and stun others. His "Blue Cartridge" can manipulate life force and was used to help Deadman merge with a "Follower", an organic machine designed to act as his physical body.

Vykin
Throughout the Kirby run, Vykin was referred to as "Vykin the Black". He was arguably the first black superhero to appear in a DC comic book, preceding the John Stewart Green Lantern and Kirby's Black Racer by several months. When the Forever People were stranded on Adon, Mark Moonrider thought it would be advantageous to civilize the people of the planet. When Vykin used their Mother Box to do so, it overloaded and was destroyed, killing Vykin in the process, but managing to create Forevertown. When the Dark overtook and reversed the effects of the Mother Box, Vykin was brought back to life. Later, he was reunited on New Genesis with his mother Valkyra, who sacrificed herself to save her lover Orion.
Powers and abilities
Like all New Gods, Vykin is functionally immortal and all his physical attributes are superhuman. He can manipulate magnetism and is skilled in working with complicated machinery. Vykin has a keen mind and is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. It is Vykin who carries the Forever People's Mother Box, a kind of sentient computer, and is attuned to her frequencies. He is also a language major and a skilled tracker. He is considered "second only to Metron in wisdom".

Infinity-Man
Infinity-Man is Drax, the older brother of Uxas, and became the Infinity-Man after treachery at the hands of Uxas while attempting to harness the Omega Force for himself. No explanation was given as to why he was involved with the Forever People other than Big Bear's offhanded comment that they have an arrangement with him. The Infinity-Man's powers were never fully cataloged other than having some direct link to the Source, and the suggestion that since he originated from another universe, he was not bound by its physical laws. He is capable of flight, super-strength, enhanced vision powers, infini-beams, the ability to negate gravity and convert it into a repulsive force, restructuring atoms to pass through solid matter, and redirecting the flight path of bullets.
In The New 52 continuity reboot, Infinity-Man is an abstract of the Source itself and the moral consciousness of Highfather. Highfather was originally a compassionate being known as Izaya who visited the Source Wall, searching for answers from the Source itself. Izaya is hit by the Source, which makes him cold, tactile and manipulative. His lost conscience manifests as Infinity-Man.[19]
