盤點極其類似的10對超級英雄(上)

Qualifying for the role of a superhero doppelgänger requires more than just having the same powers as another character, and more than just a similar costume design. Superhero doppelgängers – or "twins", if you prefer – are the characters who have so many powers, background stories, visual similarities, and general motifs in common that it's almost like one character has been split in two, and both halves of him/her happen to coexist within parallel universes.

要想成為超級英雄的二重身，只具備與其相同的超能力或相似的戰衣是肯定不行的。超級英雄的二重身們——或者稱之為"雙胞胎"——是那些在能力、背景、外貌和標誌方面有太多相似之處的角色。他們就像是被一分為二的兩個人，每一個他或是她都存活於各自的平行宇宙中。

n Arrow and Hawkeye

10.綠箭俠和鷹眼

What makes them twins? Two superheroes, both of whom have a bow and arrow as their primary weapon against legions of criminals, mobsters, robots, and aliens? Pretty distinctive feature. Add in the fact that both of them are cocky, self-assured, and blond, and, well, come on now. Not to mention that both of them have been known to use so-called "trick arrows," which tend to involve such strange things as boxing gloves.

是什麼讓他們成為"雙胞胎"的？這兩個超級英雄之所以成為雙胞胎，是因為他們都將弓箭作為對抗罪犯、暴徒、機器人和外星軍隊的主要武器嗎？這特徵也太明顯了吧。除此之外，他們都自負、自信，還都是金髮。好吧，更別提他們都用"特效箭"了，箭中還有拳擊手套這樣奇怪的東西。

Who they are: Green Arrow, now most famous as the star of the CW series Arrow, is Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy who, after being stranded on an island at sea, came back as an arrow-slinging vigilante. Hawkeye, of course, is Clint Barton, the resident wisecracking sharpshooter of the Avengers.

他們是誰：綠箭俠，如今是CW電視台連續劇《綠箭俠》裏的大明星，他原名奧利弗·奎恩，是坐擁億萬家產的花花公子，曾落難於海上荒島，後回到家中成為了一名箭俠義警。鷹眼，也就是克林特·巴頓，復仇者聯盟中的常駐成員，一個愛説俏皮話的狙擊手。

Who came first? When one thinks about it, it's kind of strange that both the Avengers and the Justice League have archers, isn't it? But both of them are terrific characters with loads of great stories, so it works out. Green Arrow arrived first, premiering all the way back in 1941. Though he was originally little more than a Robin Hood-themed Batman knockoff, the character truly came into his own when Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams recreated him as a liberal crusader in the 1970s, and he then took a darker turn with the 1980s limited series Longbow Hunters, by Mike Grell. Hawkeye is now most famous for his appearances in the Avengers movies—particularly the second one, where he managed to nab most of the best scenes.

誰先出現的？仔細想想，復仇者聯盟和正義聯盟中都有弓箭手，這難道不奇怪嗎？他們都是首屈一指的角色，背後都有着那麼多引人入勝的故事，所以這行得通。綠箭俠先於鷹眼出現，首次登場於1941年。儘管最初的他不過是一個羅賓漢式的盜版蝙蝠俠，但經過20世紀70年代丹尼·奧尼爾和尼爾·亞當斯的改編，他成為了一個富有特色的自由鬥士。接着在80年代麥克·格瑞爾的限期系列漫畫《長弓獵手》中他黑化了。鷹眼在電影《復仇者聯盟》中的表現最引人注目，尤其是在第二部裏，他成功地搶佔了大部分經典鏡頭。

h and Quicksilver

9.閃電俠和快銀

What makes them twins? Super speed is a power that many characters possess, but these two are particularly focused on the whole running aspect of it. Both have a lightning bolt motif, and both are the central speedsters of their respective universes.

是什麼讓他們成為"雙胞胎"的？許多角色都有超速度的能力，但這兩位卻是專注於他們的"奔跑事業"。他們都有着閃電擊標誌，也都是各自宇宙速跑者中的佼佼者。

Who they are: Many people have assumed the identity of the Flash, but the most famous ones have been Barry Allen and Wally West, who at different times have raced around their respective cities, facing off against a truly distinctive rogues gallery. Quicksilver, brother of Scarlet Witch and son of the infamous mutant terrorist Magneto, began his career as a villain and grew to become one of the classic Avengers. Due to their ties to both the Avengers and X-Men mythologies, these two are the only characters to cross over between both movie franchises.

他們是誰：許多人都冒充過閃電俠，但最著名的兩位是巴里·艾倫和沃利·韋斯特，兩人在不同時間奔走於各自的城市，對抗着極具特色的罪犯集團。快銀，是猩紅女巫的哥哥，臭名昭著的變種人恐怖分子萬磁王的兒子，他起初是個惡棍，後來成為復仇者聯盟中的一位傑出隊員。因為與復仇者聯盟和X戰警這兩個神話世界的雙重聯繫，他們成為兩個系列電影中僅有的共享版權角色。

Who came first? The Flash, of course, though the Flash that premiered in the 1940s was actually a character named Jay Garrick, whereas Barry Allen didn't appear until over a decade later. Interestingly, Quicksilver wasn't Marvel's first Flash twin. That honor belongs to a bizarre, yellow jump-suited character named "the Whizzer," created in 1941, whose super-speed abilities were the result of an emergency transfusion of mongoose blood. Not an experiment to duplicate at home, kids.

誰先出現的？當然是閃電俠了，儘管20世紀40年代最先發行的版本中主角名為傑·加里克，而巴里·艾倫十年後才出現。有趣的是，快銀還不是漫威電影中閃電俠的首個"雙胞胎兄弟"。這個稱號屬於1941面世的"初代風速"，他身着黃色戰服，相貌奇異，他的超速度能力來源於一次意外的貓鼬血清注射。孩子們，可不要擅自模仿哦。

-Thing and Swamp Thing

8.類人體和沼澤怪

What makes them twins? Heroic monsters who live in swamps, and whose bodies are composed of the swamp itself. Both have served as the inspiration for low budget B-movies. Both were also scientists at one point, back before the whole, uh…swamp-monster-thing.

是什麼讓他們成為雙胞胎？一個是住在沼澤裏的怪物英雄，一個是自己身體本身就是由沼澤構成的怪物英雄。這兩個人物都曾是低成本電影的靈感來源。在成為沼澤怪之前，他們都曾經是科學家。

Who they are: Once a promising young biochemist named Ted Sallis, an experimental super soldier formula transformed him into the slow-moving plant creature known only as Man-Thing. Now he protects the Nexus of All Realities, hidden inside a swamp within the Florida Everglades. DC's Swamp Thing was botanist Alec Holland, who became an avatar of the Green following his death in a swamp. Now, he is a humanoid construction of vegetable matter who fights for his home and the environment.

他們是誰？特德·薩利斯曾經是一個有為的年輕生物學家，一種實驗性的"超級戰士血清"把他變成了一個行動遲緩的植物生物，也就是大家熟知的類人體。現在他在保護Nexus of All Realities，這個地方坐落於福羅裏達州的一個沼澤的中心。在DC漫畫裏沼澤怪是一個叫亞力克荷蘭的植物學家，他死在沼澤裏之後就成了綠色的水怪。現在，他是一個具有人型的植物物質，保護他的家園和環境。

Who came first? Actually, interestingly enough, both were created at the same time. Though Man-Thing did premiere two months before his twin, both were developed simultaneously. However, the two characters do owe a debt to an earlier character, the Heap, who predated them.

誰先出現？事實上，有趣的是，他們是同時被創造出來的。儘管類人體的確比他的雙胞胎弟弟早兩個月公映，但是他們是同時被創作出來的。然而，這兩個人物都得益於一個更早期的角色–the Heap，他比他們更早誕生。

k Cat and Catwoman

7.黑貓和貓女

What makes them twins? Antihero femme fatales with a feline theme, each one attached to their publisher's most popular hero; Catwoman haunting Batman, and Black Cat with Spider-Man.

是什麼讓她們成為雙胞胎？反英雄的蛇蠍美女總與貓相關。每一個形象都與出版商最愛的超級英雄有牽扯；貓女是和蝙蝠俠，而黑貓和蜘蛛俠。

Who they are: Catwoman is Selina Kyle, who has been both a whip-wielding thief and a heroic vigilante, depending on what mood suits her (and who is writing her). Though originally conceived as a Batman villain, Catwoman has grown to become a fan-favorite protagonist in her own right. Black Cat is Felicia Hardy, one of Peter Parker's most significant romantic interests, as well as being his partner-in-crime-fighting for a period of time.

她們是誰？貓女是塞琳娜·凱爾，她既是一個揮舞着鞭子的小偷同時又是一個英雄式的義務警察，這些角色的轉換取決於她是什麼心情（和誰在創作這角色）。雖然貓女最初是作為對抗蝙蝠俠的一個角色，但正因為她本身的特質使她逐漸成為粉絲最愛的一個人物。黑貓是費莉西亞·哈蒂，是彼得·帕克最重要的一段浪漫軼事的女主角，她也曾與他搭檔，打擊過一段時間的犯罪。

Who came first? Catwoman has been lurking around since Batman #1 in 1940, whereas Black Cat didn't sink her claws into the webhead until 1979.

誰先出現？貓女在1940年的第一卷《蝙蝠俠》中就出現過，黑貓直到1979年在《蜘蛛俠》中出現。

r and Aquaman

6.納摩和水行俠

What makes them twins? Both of them live under the sea. Both are the kings of Atlantis. Both of them breathe underwater and telepathically communicate with sea life. Need we say more?

為什麼把他們當成雙胞胎？他們都生活在海底。兩者都是亞特蘭蒂斯的國王。他們都可以在水下呼吸，並且能夠與海洋生物進行心理溝通。我們還需多説嗎？

Who they are: Namor, the Sub-Mariner, is the son of a human man and an Atlantean woman, though his loyalties have always sided with Atlantis. Many times, Namor has waged war against the surface world, riding on a thin line between antihero and villain. Aquaman, when he's not getting his hand torn off and replaced by a hook, is a bit less angry—though not much.

他們是誰？納摩，稱為遊俠，雖然他是人類男子和亞特蘭蒂斯女子所生之子，但是他一直忠誠於亞特蘭蒂斯。納摩多次與地表的人類發生爭戰，在反英雄和反面人物之間進行周旋。水行俠，當他的手被截除後，裝上了鐵鈎。這之後他變得有些暴脾氣。

Who came first? Though most people would be quick to say Aquaman, it's actually Namor who holds the official title of first underwater superhero. In addition, the Sub-Mariner is actually the first Marvel Comics character, making his first appearance back in 1939.

誰先出現？雖然大多數人會立刻説是水行俠，但是實際上納摩是第一個獲得水下英雄稱號的人。除此之外，事實上納摩是第一個漫威漫畫人物，在1939年被創作出來。
