Tarzan’s family tree

It’ll be likely that Tarzan has children. 

The Mangani tribes and their kin

The Mangani Tribes and their kin are rather interesting.

The Manganis are prehistoric ape like hominins with diverse characteristics. Though too bulky for most true acrobatics, they do have fairly long arms which help them leap and surf through trees in many kinds of moods. Although they may still be dangerous and quite territorial, most of them seldom kill people as they’re smart enough to refrain themselves so they understand that most humans aren’t usually a threat unless they’re pimps or other kinds of depraved criminals, thus they tend to leave them mostly alone. Though their semi-fur colours are quite often varied, the dark brown and black semi-furs are just more common than most others. 

Although everybody belonging to most of the Mangani tribes is unique in their own way, some are still more attractive looking than others, as many of their coolest guys are at least man sized or considerably bigger than even western lowland gorillas, while most of their seniors are more often stocky yet very cantankerous. However, that doesn’t mean they’re as dumb as people would like to think, since they do love their tools and can grasp complicated situations in a way that they can understand more. They are also adept at making nests and building primitive pup tents. 

The aforementioned Ogre Manganis are the most dangerous of all Apemen and ApeWomen, mainly thanks to a bite off which ended a majority of individuals’ lives. Their somewhat hybridised Oparian descendants have thankfully founded some influential parts of the Oparian Empire, which implies that only a few descendants (because they’re so inbred they’re not properly existing anymore) have survived by the time Tarzan arrived as a baby. Their cousins the Sea Manganis are just not as downright deadly, while still being randy and rowdy fellas who sometimes steal both ladies and men out of jumble sales and the like.

Kara Edwards as the voice of Marla (dead, main) - Marla was Matt’s erstwhile mate and wife, the main Tarzan’s calm mentor and Durk’s mum. After Zugor got bludgeoned by a crocodile’s mouth in a crocodile attack, Matt died at the maws of the old hippo years later, it’s Marla’s turn to die in a hippopotamus attack.

Buddy Lewis as the voice of Zugor (dead, minor) - Marla’s estranged dad and Matt’s father in law, who sadly died at the hands of a greedily menacing crocodile who would be killed by a brave but scarred, hollering young Tarzan after that. 

Sarah Paulson as the voice of Marcia (dead, recurring) - Marcia is Marla’s unattractive older sister and Terkina’s somewhat deadbeat, senile part time vagrant of a mother who was killed by a pirate, turning into bushmeat. 

Neil Brown Jr. as the voice of Gortak (recurring) - A roguish and sometimes nasty if emotionally vulnerable gorilla who turns out to be a sexual harassment victim, who has banished himself from Gerla’s wrathful advances. He has a somewhat strong dislike towards most humans, which is obvious due to having seen his own daughter Verona shot to death by the ever horrible Jeff Brooks, but now doesn’t mind Tarzan because he is just starting to know that the latter’s privacy is to be respected.  

Torian Brackett as Konta - Konta is a gorilla.

Brandon T. Jackson as the voice of Utor (recurring) - Flynt’s uncle and Gortak’s older brother, who happens to be the funny yet somewhat dimwitted goofball friend of Kagor, and yet has a pretty sad family history which involved his little brother Gortak being harassed and perhaps even knocked up by Gerla to make two kids, the late Verona and the surviving Flynt.

• Brock Ross as Dombie (preteen)
• Alexander Averbukh as Dombie (youth)

• Sonny Gallagher as Rex (toddler and child) 
• Dash McCloud as Rex (preteen)
• Grayson Eddey as Rex (youth) 

Brayden Cross as the voice of Bruce - Bruce, being the shaggy third kid of the bunch born after Terkina, happens to be a resilient best man for Flynt’s proposal to his tomboyish girlfriend Terkina on their ‘wedding day’! Still, he must’ve seen his parents get poached by both Tom Lawley and Samuel Davies, and so he sometimes feels deeply hurt about that day when his parents died. 

• Teva Magan as the voice of Bruce (toddler and child) 
• Gary James Fuller as the voice of Bruce (preteen)
• Bentley Storteboom as the voice of Bruce (youth) 

The Elephants  

Joshua Caleb Johnson as the voice of Tantor - Tantor is a flatulent and somewhat paranoid forest elephant with a fear not of almost anything including germs but, rather more understandably, of pirates and serial aggro-loggers, because both of his estranged and sometimes dysfunctional parents got shot by them when he was a preteen. In order to make his life around, he nonetheless is resilient as he does save the day in some situations. He’s also one of the main Tarzan’s regular male animal friends, besides Manu and Flynt. 

• Isaiah Pokora as the voice of Tantor (toddler and child) 
• Levi Blaise Coleman as the voice of Tantor (preteen)

Noah Maguire as the voice of Mitch - A Gabon Talapoin next door neighbour to the gorillas led by Flynt. He first appears as a young barman looking out to swell at the trees.

Ethan Flynn as the voice of Nkima - Nkima is a foxy Tantalus monkey, who becomes both a permanent ally and a friendly rival of Tarzan in his inevitable move and holidaying into the wilds of yet another country. 

Miia Harris as Yuka - Yuka is a blue guenon who lives near the hotel that Jarvis runs.  

Jason David as Chiko - A Geoffroy’s spider monkey who happens to find out where Tarzan is in the jungles of Central America. 

The Crocodiles 

Nicole Sullivan as the voice of Gimla - A female crocodile who has tried to eat off Tarzan’s body a few times, but instead loses and wanders away into the river.

The Red River Pigs

Francesca Capaldi as Hunny - Hunny is a Spotted Honeyguide. 

The Chimpanzees 

Matthew Dell Hak as the voice of Throg - Throg is a rather arrogant and overconfident dude in a gang of chimpanzees. 

Sean Giambrone as the voice of Klunk - Klunk may be pretty despicable but still has a history of being somewhat neglected by both of his parents, a distant and careless mum who in turn was abandoned by a murderously sociopathic dad who abandoned both.

Kayden Brice as the voice of Luki - Throg’s equally cunning yet calmer little sister. 

Romy Mars as Christy - Levelheaded Christy seems to have some fun. 

The Mandrills

Shannyn Sossamon as the voice of Mimi (minor) -

Scarlett Estevez as Batty-Fang -

The Leopards

Sarah Natochenny as the voice of Borda (dead, recurring) - Due to her fearsome macho reputation, Borda was dreaded amongst many nonhuman animals and humans in her land, even though she hungrily ate Kelvin and chewed off just the necks of the Parker couple who died of sickness when she was just becoming an adult. Later in life, she mated with another leopard, birthed a son named Smak, and died protecting herself from another, scarier leopard named Woro. 

Xander Mobius as the voice of Smak (recurring, dead) - Smak is Borda’s now-elderly and estranged son who has mated with a leopardess and has a daughter named Sheeta and a son named Zander. He then dies in the battle between the marauding Mercenary entourage and the hero Tarzan. 

Ed Oxenbould as the voice of Woro (dead, recurring) - A worthy leopard opponent for Tarzan, who in turn flipped him with a spear+survival knife combo to the point of dying. 

Alexis Tipton as the voice of Sheeta (recurring) - Smak’s daughter, who is a brownish leopard.

John Wesley Go as the voice of Zander (recurring) - Smak’s son and Sheeta’s playful melanistic little brother.

The Lions

Eva Birthistle as Sabor (recurring, dead) - Sabor was an old rival of Tarzan who first met him when she was stranded into the woods, merely snacking on the remains of the boy’s late punk friend Neeta.

Aaron Heffernan as Jad Bal Ja (recurring) - Jad Bal Ja is one of the various friends of Tarzan, who first appears as an orphaned cub escaping poachers. 

Disney reboot Villains P2

The Burke Lancers 

Bertrand Lancer - Likely assaulted by his wife Lisa and thrown out to death along with Richard and Russi, allowing her youngest son Taurus to climb into the social ladder instead. 

Lisa Burke - She cheated on Bertrand and all three of his children, so she was a bigger pig than her oldest son. 

Richard and Russi 

Richard Lancer - Morton’s more chauvinistic middle brother, who was murdered by Lisa Burke. A dead shareholder with unfortunate links to pirates and moneybags. 

Russi Lancer - Russi was one of the people murdered and then buried by Lisa Burke. 

Morton and Gwen 

Morton Lancer - Morton was born about ten years after Richard. He died being chainsawed by pirates along with Gwen. 

Gwen Lancer - Gwen was a noble demon Canadian spy captured off by pirates and then dying when Tarzan was just 15 years old.

The Lancer Walthams

Lana Lancer Waltham - The only surviving daughter of Betrand Lancer. A Dame Waltham too. 

Herbert Waltham - American Mineral Magnate with unfortunate links to pirates.

Tom’s Gang 

Tom Lawley - A rather chauvinistic pig who luckily fled his own wife, but still kept on going till he got assaulted, dunked and then chopped by Jeff Brooks. Mr. Brooks in turn was cranked to death a la full Nelson by Tarzan. His estranged friend was Max Esker. 

Samuel Davies - Samuel Davies was Tom Lawley’s equally drunk and jaded ‘boyfriend’ whose status as his morality pet is rather clear, and in fairness, both were partly-closeted bisexuals to boot. After seeing fellow friends Tom and Max get submerged and then chopped by Jeff Brooks, it’s now also certain that Jeff himself SA’d the drunkard to death by flopping him in the privates with beer. 

Parry ‘Snitch’ Reed - Skinny Parry the Snitch is the second mook in British prison for a moment; he remained honest about not rising to the top ranking spot, even as he showed considerable sympathy for Tom’s horrible home life. Because of what happened to all their lividly conniving former friends, Parry the Snitch and Drew would rather not be there poaching animals so that by following a short trial, they’d rather come to British prison afterwards for looting charges instead. 

Darryl Jones - The snobbish, moustached part-Caribbean Darryl is the only person of colour remaining in Tom’s Gang, who does seem to deeply regret his bad actions and decides to move on. However, shortly after his looting adventures happened, he’s currently being a dumped temporary prisoner of Kevin Griffin, a more horrifying bimbo of a guy now running an open air mud prison aimed at guilty tourists. 

Ermentrude Jones - Ermentrude is Darryl’s similarly snobbish wife, who has arrived into an open mud prison along with her frequently mocked husband, before choosing to stay there for a single year. 

Drew Hamilton - Drew Hamilton remains alive and well, but is the first mook in British prison for a moment. In fairness, he indeed was good friends with both the fitter Max Esker and the senile Cornelius Wood so they enjoyed their company until one day, Max was dunked in the privates and then chopped to death by Jeff Brooks, and Cornelius Wood himself had to be shot by firing squad of pirates! As a result, he himself has had to leave the tropical West Central African coast instead for a British prison sentence without a death penalty following a short, boring trial. 

Bronx Rogues   

Florentino Baldocchi - Middle Aged Florentino is a rather complex guy, having long been a looter in the Bronx Rogues team until one day, once he saw Jonathan Brown drinking beer to death near the mud prison, he simply showed a big amount of remorse for what he’d forcibly done to a single sleepy coastal village in the jungle where Tarzan lives. He simply chose to leave for prison on his own accord because a short, boring trial surely would slap him into the Bronx prison system. 

Joe Peter Moran - The cunning and vituperative Joe Peter Moran is the cleverest member of the Bronx Rogues bunch, who survived to escape the wrathful, perhaps even cannibalistic whims of Kevin Griffin. 

David Fiebelkorn - David is one of the three Bronx Rogues who choose to stay in the jungle since the horrible ways that led to their godawful former friends dying might’ve revoltingly horrified them even in an open mud prison.  

Larry Giles Hauser - Larry Giles Hauser is the rascally and rowdy guy who leads the Bronx Rogues, regional crooks who split from Kevin Griffin (albeit for a good reason; as Kevin Griffin has a serial murder record even as a cop!). The certainty that he’s a flawed yet okay friend of the two surviving former crooks who’d rather choose the jungle route instead of the American Army to Prison pipeline is rather telling. 

Temporaries 

Sylvester Cummings - Sylvester Cummings is actually a temporary member who still wants to make friends, but the Bronx Rogues just aren’t suited for his liking, so he comes back to America being empty handed and lonely. He also seems to be a retired blonde boxer who has an eyepatch which can cover both bruised eyes, but mainly covers the left one because such an eye gets hurt more often.

The Traffickers 

Jonathan Brown - Being a treacherous former friend to both Joe Peter and Larry Giles, Jonathan Brown was the overweight, drunk creature trafficker from the Bronx, who groped both guys and then dumped them in the nick of a night. Being such a nasty drunken mess might also mean that he was killed by Tarzan later on.

Dennis Spicer - Although the oldest member of the whole unreliable trio, Dennis also was the guy who’s least likely to survive, being murdered by Kevin Griffin following the reveal that he’s been falling in love with him for years.   

Kevin Griffin - Kevin was a serial killer cop and a downright drunk dealer who stranded a whole expedition into the jungle without many of its members even knowing why he did it. He also was a horrifically depraved bimbo, not even functioning properly without a fucking can of soda! 

Godfrey Channing - Although a less vicious villain than most, the overweight treasure trafficker Godfrey Channing had a much stronger relationship with fellow villains than what Kevin Griffin would ever do.  

Horace Brown - Jonathan’s older brother and the only known person he would like to have a relationship with as both were drunkards. 

The Marooners  

Kristopher Tarrant - Kristopher was a sleazy mutineer working alone in the background before being eaten by Don Karl Snipes.  

Don Karl Snipes - Don Karl Snipes was one magnificent bastard of a guy who did a mighty assault to anyone whom he had met for years. He SA’d and then ate both Austin King and Kristopher Tarrant. 

Austin King - Sneaky Austin King was one of the victims of Snipes’s cannibalism alongside Kristopher Tarrant. 

Max and his family 

Max Esker - Muscular but cunningly livid part-time critter trafficker Max was one of Tom Lawley’s favourite mooks alongside the spying Drew Hamilton and the spying Cornelius Wood. He seemed to not like the haughty circus dealer Darryl Jones as much though.  

Lynn Esker - Lynn Esker was the much less emotional wife of Max Esker, who ran a fashion store filled with stuff made from poached animals. She also was a bad boss towards even her husband Max, which explains why he didn’t know that he was in an open mud prison a year later. 

Cornelius Wood - Well meaning Cornelius Wood was formerly hired by Jonathan Brown to spy against Belgian interests, before he sadly was being shot by firing squad. It’s because of his death by firing squad that Tarzan felt remorse for not saving him from the dreadful black market. 

Connie Wood Lancer - Cornelius Wood’s deadpan sneaker of a daughter, who lives with Taurus in her house. 

Taurus Lancer - Taurus has married a secretly bisexual spy named Connie and lives with her in their house. However, he’s just a minor antagonist rather than a true villain. 

The Mercenaries

Jeff Brooks - Jeff was a brothel owner who got away with killing various (otherwise innocent or less guilty) people of many skin colours in a time when civil rights didn’t even exist. He also betrayed many a touristing crook and perhaps even killed Tom Lawley by submerging him in the privates a la Full Nelson.

Flora Hawkes - 

Let’s tease the beginning plot!

This is a plot about how the titular Apeman himself would grow up if a Second Disney-distributed Reboot is in the works after the first one will flop hard. 

As in the older Disney variants, it’s clear that TARZAN of the Mangani Apemen was most likely born in Bristol. After he reached about a year, his parents would no longer live anymore. 

The plot begins with a couple embarking unwillingly on a French sponsored neighbourhood invasion into what’s now southern Republic of the Congo, with their recently born baby son, aka Tarzan of the Apes. The housewife told her husband that her braver fellow friends are exploring the Mayombe coast, while she and him barely survive into their 30s.

Frankly, they eventually were shipwrecked on the same coast, whereas their younger friends survived a bloody shipwreck at a somewhat later date. The housewife’s friends built something from the remaining ship parts which survived. That thing was a near complete hotel/cafe sitting upon a straggly but huge old tree. But the cubicle rats themselves could only make both a mud cabin and a pup tent throughout Tarzan’s first year of life. 

By the time Tarzan was about thirteen months old, his mum barfed to death from various health conditions, while his dying dad was killed and then eaten by serial cannibal Kerchak and his fellow ravaging apemen, to the chagrin of jungle fellows alike. At the same time, little Vera Parker lost her own parents to agri-loggers and would only live with James from then on. 

The domineering Kerchak seems to force his own privates into those of his ally Tublat. That said, as pretty horrid as he was, even the Ivory King thought Kerchak ate more of his own friends than he and Tublat did.* 

*Do note that Tublat’s foster kid Kala was a neurodivergent tomboy. As she was only about twenty human years old (some yikes), she thankfully threw off her toddler son to Tublat’s hungry (also somewhat younger, between him and Karnath in age) ally Kerchak, a domineering guy and part time cannibal which is yikes in itself! Kerchak eventually ate the little boy out of hunger for dinner and then sexually harassed Kala, just as he forced his privates into Tublat’s own. 

The fellows’ defiling attempts were so bad that she left her family altogether, but not her friends and the rest of her equally unlucky tribe. As a result, she adopted Tarzan and lived in her own shelter with him. By growing a beautiful ApeWoman adopter-human adoptee bond, her first years with him were spent by breastfeeding him while spitting and chewing her leftovers from various edible sources.

Casting Tarzan’s Family

Tarzan and his family 

Minnie Driver as Alice Rutherford Clayton -

Nicholas Pinnock as John Clayton Sr -

Jake Foushee as Tarzan (aka John Clayton Jr) - Although a usually brooding and rather mysterious young adult man, Tarzan usually shies away from killing fellow animals, unless they’re too injured, too heinous or too far gone to survive and live for long. He remains a very brave man, but also is savage and wild, perhaps even bestial due to being somewhat traumatised by the hyper violent critter and apeman attacks that manifest life in the Mayombe rainforest. 

• Daven Saraf as Tarzan (aka John Clayton Jr, toddler and child)
• Kellan Tetlow as Tarzan (aka John Clayton Jr, preteen) 
• Noah Maguire as Tarzan (aka John Clayton Jr, youth)

Korak and his family 

Matt Shipman as Korak (aka Jack Light) - Korak is the son of a wrestler trying to earn a living. While learning to survive a dreadful situation, his wrestler father was kidnapped and then made hostage by Nikolai Rockoff, which means he has to escape into the jungle with his mentor and friend Akut. A nephew by marriage, Korak is technically from Jane's side.

*Korak is a more realistic Expy of his counterpart from the ERB Universe canon, who instead is the son of Tarzan and Jane. To be fair, he’s still somewhat bigger than Tarzan himself when he now becomes an adult with a daughter named Suzanne. 

Meg Bellamy as Meriem (aka Jeannette Jacomy) - Meriem is the girlfriend and later wife of Korak, who first appears as a child being marooned into the jungle after her father Dr. Jacomy was kidnapped by both pirates and mercenaries.
