[quote="Salukfan"][quote]Actually, the mother's name isn't fanon exactly, it's more of an AU. In one of the comics Aladdin goes back in time and meets people who it's implied are his parents. The mother's name is Zena, but the father wasn't called Cassim (although they look pretty similar). I've heard other people theorize that they were actually his ancestors instead of his parents, but I really need to read that issue again; I'll try to scan a couple of pages later. [/quote] Oh, heh heh... :oops: Oh, the things I'm missing by not having these comics.[/quote]
