Talk:Evil twin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The appearances section needs expanding most; there are lots and lots of uses (Superman, Star Trek, Hercules, Xena) but I don't have adequate references for any of them. I'd also like to know if we can find any definite place of origin for the evil twin, at least the modern stereotype. --82.92.184.196 12:25, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC) (I'm User:JRM who can't log in right now, sorry.)
Hugo Simpson is not the evil twin; Bart is. Hugo could be said to be the "'Bizarro' Bart", but to call Hugo the evil twin would be a misnomer since Bart is in fact the evil one.
One of the appearances that needs to be added is BlackWarGreymon in the anime/manga section...
Also, Scourge is only Optimus Prime's evil twin in one Transformers show, Robots in Disguise. In Armada, there is a different evil twin, Nemesis Prime. After his short lifespan's through with, the next evil twin surfaces in Cybertron. He is a clone of Leobreaker named Nemesis Breaker, and is made by Megatron.
[edit] Antagonist having a "good" twin
Should their be any mention on this page of examples of decidedly evil characters in fiction having characters who greatly resemble themselves physically, but are not nessicarily portrayed as evil, or even antagonistic? (such as Kagewaki Hitomi from Inuyasha.) 66.24.229.233 22:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mislabeling Twins as Evil
The article mentions Tom Riker of Star Trekas an evil Twin of Will Riker, but Tom Riker isn't really *evil* so much. I mean, he's a bit darker and more conflicted than Will, but he's still trying to be the good guy (even when he joins the Maquis). Traegorn 15:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

- Additionally, some normal Twins (like Ursula and Pheobe of Mad About You and Friends respectively - who were actually just two different, independent characters played by the same actress who were later made twins by the two shows writers) are mislabeled as "Evil Twins" when, frankly, neither twin is "Evil" Traegorn 16:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ursula did some evil things- didn't she know who their real mother was and she "never bothered" to tell Pheobe? I wouldn't call Tom Riker evil, but Ursula was the evil twin- even if she didn't twirl her moustache and plan global domination. --TheTruthiness 00:56, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
