I'm not a "Marvel deity expert;" I'm just a guy with an intense interest in mythology.

You didn't really read the bio on Utnapisthim before you erased it, did you? His MU history is radically different from his historical/mythological version, which is why I started with "According to mythology...." and ended with "Unknown to the Sumerians, Utnapishtim was actually a member of the Eternals...." and I did add a reference which you must have missed.

As far as Anansi, his father is Nyambe, but the handbooks merged Nyambe (from Infinity Gauntlet #2) with Buluku (from the Doctor Strange series), who they had previously identified as leader of the African gods.

This is why I don't add real world mythology to the bios. It's a waste of time. Marvel's take on these characters are so radically different from the real characters, it's a waste of time to add it because it always gets deleted, even when I try to match it to the MU. Truthfully, I don't know why several of the Olympian gods have relatives added that are not in the handbooks since these figures/relatives might not exist in the MU. I call your attention to the Marvel Appendix whose genealogy for Echidna and Medusa has been skewered to favor Set in the MU instead of her mythological relatives.
