10 | * '''Justified''': |
11 | ** Bob and Kane were SeparatedAtBirth and given up for adoption. Bob had a rather normal upbringing living with loving GoodParents, while Kane was raised by a couple of supervillains (who may have even been {{abusive|Parents}} to boot). |

22 | * '''Averted''': Bob doesn't have an evil twin. |
23 | * '''Enforced''': The writers want to create a new enemy for Bob, but are convinced he needs to be a much more personal nemesis for Bob than his previous adversaries. |
24 | * '''Lampshaded''': "So you're my evil twin, huh? Then where's your [[BeardOfEvil goatee]]?" |
