Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:The_Wonder_Twins_3562.jpg\|frame\|Not to be confused with the Osmond Twins.]] Line 14: The Twins eventually were phased out of the TV show (with no explanation) and when the comic was canceled, they pretty much disappeared. (Note that ''Super Friends'' was never canonical with the rest of DC Comics.) Eventually they were reintroduced ([[Post-Crisis]]) as a pair of [[Grimdark\|alien slaves]] rescued by [[Captain Atom]]'s version of the League. This version of the Twins first appeared in ''Extreme Justice'' #9 (October, 1995). Today{{when}}, the twins are back in [[Comic Book Limbo]], which, given how [[Dork Age\|dark the DC Universe has become]], is probably for the best. A pair of characters based on them (Downpour and Shifter) also appeared in an episode of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' ("Ultimatum"). Another version of them also appeared on the the ''[[Smallville]]'' episode "Idol". ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~=== These characters provide examples of: ===~~ * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The Twins' lives as Johan and Johanna were shown only in the comics. * [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: The Exorians didn't want to care for children with "mutant powers". Their hypocrisy was made obvious later in a story when they ''demanded'' that the Twins save them from another duo of Exorian shapeshifters. This is also probably a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Marvel Comics~~\|Marvel~~]]'s]] ''[[X-Men]]''. * [[Amazing Technicolour Wildlife]]: Gleek is a blue monkey. [[Justified Trope\|Justified]] since he's an alien. * [[Animal-Themed Superbeing]]: Jayna as the ''All Animal Abilities'' type. * [[Canon Immigrant]]: though it wasn't until the ''Extreme Justice'' comics that they were '''officially''' part of the DCU. * [[Chest Insignia]]: Stylized Z and J, respectively. Justified as they only added the letters to their [[Space Clothes]] after joining the Super Friends. * [[Death Byby Origin Story]]/[[The Unseen]]: Their parents. * [[Dumb Blonde]]: Subverted; as Johan and Johanna, they dyed their hair blond (using one of Carter's inventions) and acted very intelligently. * [[Edutainment]]: The Wonder Twin segments.
