Devas are known to be wicked @ times - I'm talking about the originals as per the Puranas, not just the serial creations. Although it has been argued that the devas of the vedas were very uncontroversial. At any rate, in this story, to be fair to them, the devas did nothing wrong.
Indra sent Agni & Vayu to Mahadev to remind him of their need for his son. Mahadev gave them the 6 sparks, which they then took to Ganga, who took them to Sharavana, where 6 babies were born. The 6 Krittikas found them and took a baby each. Parvati arrived @ the place and as soon as she approached them, the babies merged into one. This one was then claimed by all of them, and Mahadev resolved it by giving him the names Mahasena (for Agni/Vayu's son), Gangeya (for Ganga's son), Sharavan (for Sharavana's son), Kartikeya (for Krittikas' son), Skanda (for Parvati's son) and Guha (for Mahadev's son).
But the way they've shown it, I don't think Agni will have the guts to claim ownership of Kartikeya, and to an extent, i do sympathize w/ him. I doubt that Ganga will want to claim ownership of Kartikeya either, once Parvati's done cursing her. What I wonder - is Parvati going to curse everyone who claims to be a parent of Skanda, and ultimately end up cursing Mahadev as well?
