Twin/Clone

Evil Twins or Evil Clones can be deliberate attempts at creating evil doppelgängers of heroes through science, Magic or Alternate-Reality Versions. On some occasions they can even be literal Twins of the identical and non-identical varieties. Either way it also connects to and overlaps with villains who are Incriminators.

They can also be Evil Counterparts, Foils or Copycats, meaning they share similarities with heroes and their backgrounds or are merely copying certain aspects of heroes or other villains. Some of them take this a step further to the point they would want to serve as evil replacements altogether (e.g. Jill Roberts).

On rare occasions, villains of this category can be counterparts of other villains. One such example is Lord Dominator, who is very similar but far more evil than Lord Hater.
