>>108935853I think I know why Badgerclops left his family to join the gang.
In Ultraclops, we get to see how he acted when Mao Mao and Adorabat ignored and ridiculed him. Once he went giant, he did whatever he wanted, and it took Mao Mao and Adorabat to learn from their mistakes to make up with Badgerclops.
Shitty fanfiction incoming, but I think that's how Badgerclops joined the gang and left the family. The gang knew what he wanted, some friends to listen to, and he joined because he was strong enough to fight. Once he built up a notorious reputation, his family knew about it and confronted him. He then left because he knew his family wanted nothing to do with him since joining the gang, and because he and his family have had underlying issues going on for years, with his family mostly listening to his stepbrother Gerald and largely ignoring him. He can also fight, so despite his buff dad, if there's any physical altercation that went by, he would most likely win thanks to his cybernetic arm.
He did try to make up with Gerald by giving him a call, so it's likely that his issues won't be as bad as what I described. I still want to see what he went through before meeting Mao Mao.
