Line 4:
The dark side's version of the [[Sibling Team]] - antagonists who take brothers or sisters along for the ride, sometimes ending up looking like a fraternal version of an [[Outlaw Couple]], also typically a pair. Sometimes they can play off each other as [[Morality Pet|Morality Pets]] or at least [[Pet the Dog|Humanity Pets]] while other times their partnership can be [[Cain and Abel|begrudging underneath]] or have them tripping over [[Sibling Rivalry]].
 
Can overlap with [[Big Bad Duumvirate]] or [[Those Two Bad Guys]], may involve [[Sibling Yin -Yang]] or [[Stronger Sibling]].
 
See Also: [[The Family That Slays Together]] if parents and other relatives join the siblings on serious crime sprees.

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenris_(comics) Fenris] (Andrea and Andreas von Strucker) in the [[Marvel Universe]].
** The [[X Men|X-Men]] meet a lot of these: in the [[Silver Age]] [[Legion of Doom|Brotherhood of]] <s>Evil</s> [[Legion of Doom|Mutants]] and the [[Ultimate Universe]] version of same, it was the ambivalently villainous siblings Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch; in the Acolytes, the successor to the Brotherhood, it was the Kleinstock Brothers; even X-Men [[Spin -Off]] team X-Factor once clashed with the siblings Slab and Thumbelina, who were usually on two entirely different teams of baddies.
* In the [[Bronze Age]], Captain America battled a pair of brothers, the Eel and the Viper, who were part of the first [[Weird Trade Union|Serpent Squad]].
* The Blood Brothers, a pair of minor alien villains in [[Marvel Comics]], actually increase in strength the closer they are to one another.
Line 30:
* [[Judge Dredd]] has frequently contended with the surviving sibling members of the Angel Gang, a clan of murderers from the radioactive wastelands beyond Mega-City One. In their first appearances, they were [[The Family That Slays Together]].
* ''[[Invincible (Comic Book)|Invincible]]'' has recurring minor villains the Mauler Brothers, who are not actual brothers; they're clones.
* The [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Dalton brothers]] from ''[[Lucky Luke]]''. They may not be especially competent, but they're determined to stick to their life of crime.
* The Roark brothers don't seem to like each other much, but they are still the heads of the most powerful and evil family in ''[[Sin City]]''.
* Minor [[Batman (Comic Book)|Batman]] foes, the Trigger Twins.
