No one. Several Dons attempted to have one of their sons succeed them, but none of the sons was anywhere near as successful as Michael. Looked at as a "stand-alone," Michael has no parallels in Mobdom. You might say that Joe Columbo, like Michael, attempted to make himself appear "legitimate," but that's where the comparison fails.
I'd like to hear from others on this board.
Pretty much my opinion also. The Bonannos come the closest though to the father/son duo. Like Michael, Bill was forced into the life too early and probably somewhat reluctantly. However, once in, Bill's fortunes significantly depart from Michael's.
One significant difference is Bill's hesitancy to strike back against Maggadino et al while Michael wants to jump right in: "We can't wait."
