pool and Deathstroke

5.死侍和喪鐘

What makes them twins? Come on, one's named Slade Wilson, and the other Wade Wilson? Both highly skilled assassins with awfully similar uniforms…

爲什麼把他們當成雙胞胎?起初,其中一個本名爲斯萊德·威爾遜,另一個本名爲韋德·威爾遜。他們是有着相似服裝且技術精湛的刺客。

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.

他們是誰?斯萊德·威爾遜,又名喪鐘,曾是美國軍人,後來成爲僱傭兵。最初他被引入《少年泰坦》,並最終成爲DC宇宙中的一員。對於死侍,現在仍然是記憶猶新。開始時他被作爲一個變種的惡棍出現,後來演變成爲一個怪異的、擁有癒合能力、瘋狂的反英雄角色。他有着古怪的幽默感和打破第四道牆的嗜好。

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.

誰先出現?顯而易見是喪鐘。雖然死侍最初的設想是用來惡搞/剽竊,但漫威漫畫公司將他重新設計爲打破第四道牆、讓人捧腹大笑的反英雄人物,也就是現在這種形象, 具有諷刺意味的是,這讓他在漫畫中成爲最獨特的角色之一。

er Croc and the Lizard

4.鱷魚人和蜥蜴教授

盤點極其類似的10對超級英雄(下) 第2張

What makes them twins? Scaly reptile men who have lived in the sewers and have, on occasion, both been depicted as eating people.

爲何把他倆歸爲"雙胞胎"呢?因爲這兩位屬於"爬行生物"的男人都居住在下水道里,且偶爾會被說成是"吃人的怪獸"。

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.

他們是誰?鱷魚人名叫韋倫·瓊斯,天生皮膚狀似鱗片,後成爲高譚市的黑幫老大,也是蝙蝠俠的老對手。而蜥蜴教授則是居家男人科特·康納斯博士實驗中的"慘痛後果"——他試圖再生殘肢,卻意外將自己轉化成了一頭邪惡的爬行怪獸。

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.

誰先出場呢?蜥蜴教授較先出場,差不多早了有二十多年。令人惱火的是鱷魚人的設定,本應尊崇《蝙蝠俠》漫畫系列中的人設,卻復刻了蜥蜴教授——由人變異成怪獸。最初的鱷魚人仍存有正常人的心智,只是爲生理畸形所困。不幸的是,之後的寫手和繪者都誇大了韋倫的殘缺,爲他填上了鱷魚頭、長尾等鱷魚軀幹。因此他的人設不再是一個有趣的角色,而是更多地定位於卡通人物。好消息是,在接下來的電影《自殺小隊》中,鱷魚人將首挑大樑,目測會比原漫畫中的人物漲更多粉哦。

-Man and the Atom

3.蟻人和原子俠

盤點極其類似的10對超級英雄(下) 第3張

What makes them twins? Two scientists whose primary superpower is to shrink, while retaining the same strength that they possess at their regular size.

爲何把他倆歸爲"雙胞胎"呢?因爲這兩位科學家的主要超能力都是縮小,且各項體能仍然保持正常體型時的狀態。

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.

他們是誰?雷·帕爾默是一名科學家,後通過研究一塊白矮星碎片獲得了壓縮自身分子結構的能力。蟻人原名漢克·皮姆,是個愛惹麻煩的天才。他的發現——"皮姆粒子"可以助其縮小或放大體型,因此他也可以變成"巨人"。之後,斯科特·朗成爲第二代蟻人。

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.

誰先出場呢?早在幾年前,原子俠就"打敗"了蟻人。自那以後,這兩者的人設方向完全不同。但可以想象的是,如果內維雜合體可以輕易完成的話,那這兩人定會共追一隻小蜜蜂呢。

an and the Shadow

2.蝙蝠俠與魅影俠

盤點極其類似的10對超級英雄(下) 第4張

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.

是什麼讓兩人成爲雙胞胎?全世界都知道布魯斯·韋恩和拉蒙特·克蘭斯頓同是社會名流,但事實上兩人還是潛伏在黑暗中的神祕獨行俠,神出鬼沒在夜間的大街小巷,使各類地下不法分子聞風喪膽。另外,兩人的本事都和他們遊歷四方的經歷密不可分。

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.

他們是誰:每個人都對蝙蝠俠的身世瞭如指掌。年紀輕輕就失去雙親的布魯斯·韋恩遊遍了世界各地之後回到哥譚市,將在他環遊之時而成爲犯罪天堂的故鄉拯救出來。而魅影俠原名叫肯特·阿拉德,他原是位很有名的飛行員,但之後假死並在國外求師學藝,習得了"模糊人心"的能力,使得其他人都看不見他。之後他來到了紐約市,還得到了一籮筐的別名。

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.

誰先出世的?信不信由你,但魅影俠在漫畫出來之前就已經存在。原本只是廉價雜誌上的英雄,魅影俠卻因奧森·威爾斯的廣播劇而聲名大噪。在現下這些超級英雄還未成氣候之前魅影俠就已存在,不難猜測他這一影子人物——連同佐羅和獨行俠——都可能是黑暗騎士的靈感來源。

rman and Shazam (Captain Marvel)

1.超人和沙贊(驚奇隊長)

盤點極其類似的10對超級英雄(下) 第5張

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.

什麼讓他倆成爲了一對雙胞胎?白種人,黑頭髮,會飛的超強"童子軍",還有數不清的各種超能力——當然,還有斗篷。雖說除他倆之外也有很多人符合這些條件,像是哨兵、亥伯龍、奇蹟先生等等,但超人和驚奇隊長才是原型啊!

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.

他們是誰:超人本名卡爾-艾爾,是氪星最後的子民。在他母星炸燬的最後一刻他被火箭送到了地球,並被農場主肯特夫婦發現收養。而沙贊——舊名驚奇隊長——實際上名叫比利·巴特森,是一名喊出"沙贊"便能變身爲擁有超強力量成年男性的年輕男孩。誰出現得比較早?

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.

超人是最早出現的,但沙贊——最早由福西特漫畫公司發行——僅比超人出場晚了一年,並且在某一時期銷量比超人還好。當時DC漫畫和福西特漫畫競爭激烈,雙方的漫畫人物也總是你追我趕。但有意思的是,最先飛的其實是驚奇隊長。他在飛的時候,超人還只會從高樓往下跳呢。如今,兩個角色都收歸DC漫畫旗下,所以兩者的競爭也偃旗息鼓不少。但只要是兩人同時登場的場景,總漂浮着一絲絲競爭的意味。當談及超級英雄裏的雙胞胎時,則少不了要以這兩人作爲衡量的標杆。
