    There were a TON of alternate SG-1 Teams - including the black suited team in Season 9 or 10 that tried to strand everyone else in a universe at one point. Plus, Rodney McKay's brilliant and annoying twin from another universe.

    @Bootknife-Jackson: No, that was Coldstone, who was a cyborg made out of pieces of three other smashed Gargoyles. And also, obviously, cyborg parts.

    Garth wasn't Michael Knight's brother. Garth is the son of the late Wilton Knight. Michael was given a new identity in the pilot episode. His last name was changed from Long to Knight along with some plastic surgery to change his physical appearance.

    Also, Negaduck was about a hundred times smarter than Darkwing Duck, who only ever succeeded completely accidentally.

    You can't call evil Spock "ridiculous," he taught me that facial hair=evil.


    Bender/Flexo and Michael/Garth Knight were just independent confirmation.

    I thought the Cyborg Superman was a smart character. He did have some dumb plots, though...

    @redspidey: Oh man, how could I forget Cyborg Superman. I used to have every single issue of the Reign Of The Superman comics, plus the various Cyborg spinoffs.... horrible memories flooding back. Although, if Cyborg Supes was so smart, why would he team up with Mongul? There's no "Mongul" in "team."

    I think the Mecha's of Godzilla is cheating. I mean, they aren't twins, but deliberate copies of the lizard.

    Space Godzilla I'll let you slide on.

    You forgot Blake's evil duplicate from the Blakes 7 episode "Weapon."


    Of course, he wasn't particularly evil... or for that matter, even all that useful. Servalan had him created as part of a retarded plot to obtain the ultimate weapon from a crazy scientist who (for reasons that were never quite explained) idolizes Blake.


    Forget using the clone to break up the entire anti-Federation resistance movement, or murdering Blake's crew in their sleep and stealing the Liberator... Servalan's brilliant strategy is to briefly fool an old man into believing his visitor is an intergalactic folk hero that he's never actually met in person before, then once he's delivered the super weapon, the clone walks five feet and hands it over to Servalan and Travis who are standing just outside in the corridor.


    Mind you, that's nowhere near as stupid as Travis wasting the other five Blake clones the clonemasters supplied them with by using them for target practice.

    "Only Garth drives a truck... named Goliath."


    Who drives the truck that Devin and Bonnie ride around in? I don't think they ever answer that.


    I am very sad to say, though, that I happen to know that Garth's truck is the same truck they used for the mobile lab. I am very sad I know that.

    @twophrasebark: I was trying to sum it up in one sentence, and that was just about the only way I could go. To be honest, I read Final Crisis, but it's all a blur to me now as well.

    I've always been fond of Batzarro. That guy was awesome, though he sorta died after a few pages from what I can recall. Not too surprising considering that he always claimed to be the "Worlds worst detective!"

    What about the Bizarro Green Lantern ("Yellow Candle, I think)? He charged up his ring and had powers for 24 hours. And that was it--no more powers, ever.

    Awesome, Charlie. You've really covered a lot of territory. Does the evil android that can disguise itself as Steve and Oscar ("Six Million Dollar Man") count? No, probably not -- not really an evil twin.

    What about Phoebe Buffay from Friends? She had an evil twin sister. "But BullfightsOnAcid" you ask "What does that have to do with Sci-Fi?" Well I'm going to tell you - her evil sister appeared in a porno called 'Buffay, The Vampire Layer'.
