5.Deadpool and Deathstroke
5.死侍和丧钟
What makes them twins? Come on, one's named Slade Wilson, and the other Wade Wilson? Both highly skilled assassins with awfully similar uniforms…
为什么把他们当成双胞胎?起初,其中一个本名为斯莱德·威尔逊,另一个本名为韦德·威尔逊。他们是有着相似服装且技术精湛的刺客。
Who they are: Slade Wilson, AKA Deathstroke, is a former US soldier turned mercenary, originally introduced as the archnemesis of the Teen Titans, and has since come to be a prevalent figure across the DC Universe. Deadpool—now remember, that's WADE Wilson—began as a pretty straightforward New Mutants villain, and has since evolved into a bizarre, lunatic anti-hero with a healing factor, a wacky sense of humor and a penchant for breaking the fourth wall.
他们是谁?斯莱德·威尔逊,又名丧钟,曾是美国军人,后来成为雇佣兵。最初他被引入《少年泰坦》,并最终成为DC宇宙中的一员。对于死侍,现在仍然是记忆犹新。开始时他被作为一个变种的恶棍出现,后来演变成为一个怪异的、拥有愈合能力、疯狂的反英雄角色。他有着古怪的幽默感和打破第四道墙的嗜好。

死侍和丧钟

Who came first? Deathstroke, obviously. Though Deadpool as first conceived was a pretty obvious spoof/ripoff, Marvel deserves props for reworking him into the fourth-wall breaking, laugh-out-loud antihero that he's now become—which, ironically, has turned him into one of the most unique characters in comics.
谁先出现?显而易见是丧钟。虽然死侍最初的设想是用来恶搞/剽窃,但漫威漫画公司将他重新设计为打破第四道墙、让人捧腹大笑的反英雄人物,也就是现在这种形象, 具有讽刺意味的是,这让他在漫画中成为最独特的角色之一。

4.Killer Croc and the Lizard
4.鳄鱼人和蜥蜴教授

鳄鱼人和蜥蜴教授

What makes them twins? Scaly reptile men who have lived in the sewers and have, on occasion, both been depicted as eating people.
为何把他俩归为"双胞胎"呢?因为这两位属于"爬行生物"的男人都居住在下水道里,且偶尔会被说成是"吃人的怪兽"。
Who they are: Killer Croc is Waylon Jones, a young boy born with an unfortunate skin condition that resembles scales, who went on to become a mob boss in Gotham City… and thus, a frequent foe of Batman. The Lizard is the painful result of experiments performed by family man Dr. Curt Connors, who while attempting to re-grow his lost limb accidentally transforms himself into a vicious reptilian beast.
他们是谁?鳄鱼人名叫韦伦·琼斯,天生皮肤状似鳞片,后成为高谭市的黑帮老大,也是蝙蝠侠的老对手。而蜥蜴教授则是居家男人科特·康纳斯博士实验中的"惨痛后果"——他试图再生残肢,却意外将自己转化成了一头邪恶的爬行怪兽。
Who came first? The Lizard came first, by nearly two decades. The annoying thing about this, however, is that Croc, as originally conceived—as well as the way he was portrayed in the classic Batman: The Animated Series—was not in any way a Lizard clone, and it's only subsequent creators who have transformed him into one. The original Killer Croc, who still appears now and again, was simply a disturbed man with a deformity, who had regular human proportions. Unfortunately, later writers and artists have since exaggerated Waylon's deformities to the point of him having a crocodile-like head, a long tail and so on, thereby making Croc himself more of a cartoon and less of an interesting character. The good news is that the upcoming film Suicide Squad, which will be Croc's first big screen appearance, looks to be taking its inspiration more from the original depiction.
谁先出场呢?蜥蜴教授较先出场,差不多早了有二十多年。令人恼火的是鳄鱼人的设定,本应尊崇《蝙蝠侠》漫画系列中的人设,却复刻了蜥蜴教授——由人变异成怪兽。最初的鳄鱼人仍存有正常人的心智,只是为生理畸形所困。不幸的是,之后的写手和绘者都夸大了韦伦的残缺,为他填上了鳄鱼头、长尾等鳄鱼躯干。因此他的人设不再是一个有趣的角色,而是更多地定位于卡通人物。好消息是,在接下来的电影《自杀小队》中,鳄鱼人将首挑大梁,目测会比原漫画中的人物涨更多粉哦。

3.Ant-Man and the Atom
3.蚁人和原子侠

蚁人和原子侠

What makes them twins? Two scientists whose primary superpower is to shrink, while retaining the same strength that they possess at their regular size.
为何把他俩归为"双胞胎"呢?因为这两位科学家的主要超能力都是缩小,且各项体能仍然保持正常体型时的状态。
Who they are: Ray Palmer is a physicist who, will studying the molecular density of a white dwarf star, gains the ability to reduce his molecular density. Ant-Man is originally Hank Pym, a troubled genius whose discovery of the "Pym particles" enables him to reduce his size—or to expand it, and thus become "Giant-Man." Later on, Scott Lang would assume the role of Ant-Man.
他们是谁?雷·帕尔默是一名科学家,后通过研究一块白矮星碎片获得了压缩自身分子结构的能力。蚁人原名汉克·皮姆,是个爱惹麻烦的天才。他的发现——"皮姆粒子"可以助其缩小或放大体型,因此他也可以变成"巨人"。之后,斯科特·朗成为第二代蚁人。
Who came first? The Atom beat Ant-Man by a couple years. Both characters have since then gone on in entirely different directions, but one would imagine that if inter-dimensional crossovers were easier to perform, the two of them would regularly grab a tiny beer together.
谁先出场呢?早在几年前,原子侠就"打败"了蚁人。自那以后,这两者的人设方向完全不同。但可以想象的是,如果内维杂合体可以轻易完成的话,那这两人定会共追一只小蜜蜂呢。

2.Batman and the Shadow
2.蝙蝠侠与魅影侠

蝙蝠侠与魅影侠

What makes them twins? Though the world knows both Bruce Wayne and Lamont Cranston as wealthy socialites, in reality they are dark, mysterious loners who prowl the streets at night, terrifying the criminal underworld. Also, both of them happen to have learned these talents from traveling across the world.
是什么让两人成为双胞胎?全世界都知道布鲁斯·韦恩和拉蒙特·克兰斯顿同是社会名流,但事实上两人还是潜伏在黑暗中的神秘独行侠,神出鬼没在夜间的大街小巷,使各类地下不法分子闻风丧胆。另外,两人的本事都和他们游历四方的经历密不可分。
Who they are: Everyone knows Batman. Orphaned at a young age, Bruce Wayne travelled the world and came back to Gotham to save the city from the criminal element that had overrun it in his absence. The Shadow was originally Kent Allard, a famed aviator, who faked his death and, studying overseas, gained the ability to "cloud men's minds," and render himself invisible to them. He then came to the shores of New York City, where he assumed a variety of aliases.
他们是谁:每个人都对蝙蝠侠的身世了如指掌。年纪轻轻就失去双亲的布鲁斯·韦恩游遍了世界各地之后回到哥谭市,将在他环游之时而成为犯罪天堂的故乡拯救出来。而魅影侠原名叫肯特·阿拉德,他原是位很有名的飞行员,但之后假死并在国外求师学艺,习得了"模糊人心"的能力,使得其他人都看不见他。之后他来到了纽约市,还得到了一箩筐的别名。
Who came first? Believe it or not, the Shadow existed before comic books. Originally created a hero for pulp magazines, the Shadow gained much of his fame from a series of Orson Welles' narrated radio dramas. As the Shadow existed before superheroes were really a "thing," it's not hard to see how this shadowy figure—along with Zorro and the Lone Ranger—may have served as one of the primary inspirations behind the Dark Knight.
谁先出世的?信不信由你,但魅影侠在漫画出来之前就已经存在。原本只是廉价杂志上的英雄,魅影侠却因奥森·威尔斯的广播剧而声名大噪。在现下这些超级英雄还未成气候之前魅影侠就已存在,不难猜测他这一影子人物——连同佐罗和独行侠——都可能是黑暗骑士的灵感来源。

1.Superman and Shazam (Captain Marvel)
1.超人和沙赞(惊奇队长)

超人和沙赞(惊奇队长)

What makes them twins? Caucasian, dark-haired, super-powered "boy scouts" that fly, with more powers than you can shake a stick at—and capes, of course. There's plenty of other characters that could fit into this category—Sentry, Hyperion, Marvel Man, the list goes on—but these two are the originals.
什么让他俩成为了一对双胞胎?白种人,黑头发,会飞的超强"童子军",还有数不清的各种超能力——当然,还有斗篷。虽说除他俩之外也有很多人符合这些条件,像是哨兵、亥伯龙、奇迹先生等等,但超人和惊奇队长才是原型啊!
Who they are: Superman is Kal-El, last son of Krypton, rocketed to Earth when his planet blew to smithereens and raised on a farm by the Kents. Shazam—formerly named Captain Marvel—is Billy Batson, a young boy who can speak the word "shazam" and transform himself into a super powered adult.
他们是谁:超人本名卡尔-艾尔,是氪星最后的子民。在他母星炸毁的最后一刻他被火箭送到了地球,并被农场主肯特夫妇发现收养。而沙赞——旧名惊奇队长——实际上名叫比利·巴特森,是一名喊出"沙赞"便能变身为拥有超强力量成年男性的年轻男孩。谁出现得比较早?
Who came first? Superman was the first, but Shazam—originally published by Fawcett Comics—came out only a year later, and was at one point actually outselling the original superhero. Both DC and Fawcett engaged in a fierce rivalry, with both characters constantly one-upping each other; interestingly, it was actually Captain Marvel who flew first, back when Superman was still jumping tall buildings in a single bound. Today, both characters are owned by DC, so the rivalry has died down quite a bit. But hints of it still linger every time the two characters interact, and when it comes to superhero twins, these two are the ones that set the standard for everyone else to follow.
超人是最早出现的,但沙赞——最早由福西特漫画公司发行——仅比超人出场晚了一年,并且在某一时期销量比超人还好。当时DC漫画和福西特漫画竞争激烈,双方的漫画人物也总是你追我赶。但有意思的是,最先飞的其实是惊奇队长。他在飞的时候,超人还只会从高楼往下跳呢。如今,两个角色都收归DC漫画旗下,所以两者的竞争也偃旗息鼓不少。但只要是两人同时登场的场景,总漂浮着一丝丝竞争的意味。当谈及超级英雄里的双胞胎时,则少不了要以这两人作为衡量的标杆。
