盘点极其类似的10对超级英雄(上)

推荐人: 来源: 阅读: 1.64K 次

Qualifying for the role of a superhero doppelgänger requires more than just having the same powers as another character, and more than just a similar costume design. Superhero doppelgängers – or "twins", if you prefer – are the characters who have so many powers, background stories, visual similarities, and general motifs in common that it's almost like one character has been split in two, and both halves of him/her happen to coexist within parallel universes.

要想成为超级英雄的二重身,只具备与其相同的超能力或相似的战衣是肯定不行的。超级英雄的二重身们——或者称之为"双胞胎"——是那些在能力、背景、外貌和标志方面有太多相似之处的角色。他们就像是被一分为二的两个人,每一个他或是她都存活于各自的平行宇宙中。

n Arrow and Hawkeye

10.绿箭侠和鹰眼

盘点极其类似的10对超级英雄(上)

What makes them twins? Two superheroes, both of whom have a bow and arrow as their primary weapon against legions of criminals, mobsters, robots, and aliens? Pretty distinctive feature. Add in the fact that both of them are cocky, self-assured, and blond, and, well, come on now. Not to mention that both of them have been known to use so-called "trick arrows," which tend to involve such strange things as boxing gloves.

是什么让他们成为"双胞胎"的?这两个超级英雄之所以成为双胞胎,是因为他们都将弓箭作为对抗罪犯、暴徒、机器人和外星军队的主要武器吗?这特征也太明显了吧。除此之外,他们都自负、自信,还都是金发。好吧,更别提他们都用"特效箭"了,箭中还有拳击手套这样奇怪的东西。

Who they are: Green Arrow, now most famous as the star of the CW series Arrow, is Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy who, after being stranded on an island at sea, came back as an arrow-slinging vigilante. Hawkeye, of course, is Clint Barton, the resident wisecracking sharpshooter of the Avengers.

他们是谁:绿箭侠,如今是CW电视台连续剧《绿箭侠》里的大明星,他原名奥利弗·奎恩,是坐拥亿万家产的花花公子,曾落难于海上荒岛,后回到家中成为了一名箭侠义警。鹰眼,也就是克林特·巴顿,复仇者联盟中的常驻成员,一个爱说俏皮话的狙击手。

Who came first? When one thinks about it, it's kind of strange that both the Avengers and the Justice League have archers, isn't it? But both of them are terrific characters with loads of great stories, so it works out. Green Arrow arrived first, premiering all the way back in 1941. Though he was originally little more than a Robin Hood-themed Batman knockoff, the character truly came into his own when Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams recreated him as a liberal crusader in the 1970s, and he then took a darker turn with the 1980s limited series Longbow Hunters, by Mike Grell. Hawkeye is now most famous for his appearances in the Avengers movies—particularly the second one, where he managed to nab most of the best scenes.

谁先出现的?仔细想想,复仇者联盟和正义联盟中都有弓箭手,这难道不奇怪吗?他们都是首屈一指的角色,背后都有着那么多引人入胜的故事,所以这行得通。绿箭侠先于鹰眼出现,首次登场于1941年。尽管最初的他不过是一个罗宾汉式的盗版蝙蝠侠,但经过20世纪70年代丹尼·奥尼尔和尼尔·亚当斯的改编,他成为了一个富有特色的自由斗士。接着在80年代麦克·格瑞尔的限期系列漫画《长弓猎手》中他黑化了。鹰眼在电影《复仇者联盟》中的表现最引人注目,尤其是在第二部里,他成功地抢占了大部分经典镜头。

h and Quicksilver

9.闪电侠和快银

盘点极其类似的10对超级英雄(上) 第2张

What makes them twins? Super speed is a power that many characters possess, but these two are particularly focused on the whole running aspect of it. Both have a lightning bolt motif, and both are the central speedsters of their respective universes.

是什么让他们成为"双胞胎"的?许多角色都有超速度的能力,但这两位却是专注于他们的"奔跑事业"。他们都有着闪电击标志,也都是各自宇宙速跑者中的佼佼者。

Who they are: Many people have assumed the identity of the Flash, but the most famous ones have been Barry Allen and Wally West, who at different times have raced around their respective cities, facing off against a truly distinctive rogues gallery. Quicksilver, brother of Scarlet Witch and son of the infamous mutant terrorist Magneto, began his career as a villain and grew to become one of the classic Avengers. Due to their ties to both the Avengers and X-Men mythologies, these two are the only characters to cross over between both movie franchises.

他们是谁:许多人都冒充过闪电侠,但最著名的两位是巴里·艾伦和沃利·韦斯特,两人在不同时间奔走于各自的城市,对抗着极具特色的罪犯集团。快银,是猩红女巫的哥哥,臭名昭著的变种人恐怖分子万磁王的儿子,他起初是个恶棍,后来成为复仇者联盟中的一位杰出队员。因为与复仇者联盟和X战警这两个神话世界的双重联系,他们成为两个系列电影中仅有的共享版权角色。

Who came first? The Flash, of course, though the Flash that premiered in the 1940s was actually a character named Jay Garrick, whereas Barry Allen didn't appear until over a decade later. Interestingly, Quicksilver wasn't Marvel's first Flash twin. That honor belongs to a bizarre, yellow jump-suited character named "the Whizzer," created in 1941, whose super-speed abilities were the result of an emergency transfusion of mongoose blood. Not an experiment to duplicate at home, kids.

谁先出现的?当然是闪电侠了,尽管20世纪40年代最先发行的版本中主角名为杰·加里克,而巴里·艾伦十年后才出现。有趣的是,快银还不是漫威电影中闪电侠的首个"双胞胎兄弟"。这个称号属于1941面世的"初代风速",他身着黄色战服,相貌奇异,他的超速度能力来源于一次意外的猫鼬血清注射。孩子们,可不要擅自模仿哦。

-Thing and Swamp Thing

8.类人体和沼泽怪

盘点极其类似的10对超级英雄(上) 第3张

What makes them twins? Heroic monsters who live in swamps, and whose bodies are composed of the swamp itself. Both have served as the inspiration for low budget B-movies. Both were also scientists at one point, back before the whole, uh…swamp-monster-thing.

是什么让他们成为双胞胎?一个是住在沼泽里的怪物英雄,一个是自己身体本身就是由沼泽构成的怪物英雄。这两个人物都曾是低成本电影的灵感来源。在成为沼泽怪之前,他们都曾经是科学家。

Who they are: Once a promising young biochemist named Ted Sallis, an experimental super soldier formula transformed him into the slow-moving plant creature known only as Man-Thing. Now he protects the Nexus of All Realities, hidden inside a swamp within the Florida Everglades. DC's Swamp Thing was botanist Alec Holland, who became an avatar of the Green following his death in a swamp. Now, he is a humanoid construction of vegetable matter who fights for his home and the environment.

他们是谁?特德·萨利斯曾经是一个有为的年轻生物学家,一种实验性的"超级战士血清"把他变成了一个行动迟缓的植物生物,也就是大家熟知的类人体。现在他在保护Nexus of All Realities,这个地方坐落于福罗里达州的一个沼泽的中心。在DC漫画里沼泽怪是一个叫亚力克荷兰的植物学家,他死在沼泽里之后就成了绿色的水怪。现在,他是一个具有人型的植物物质,保护他的家园和环境。

Who came first? Actually, interestingly enough, both were created at the same time. Though Man-Thing did premiere two months before his twin, both were developed simultaneously. However, the two characters do owe a debt to an earlier character, the Heap, who predated them.

谁先出现?事实上,有趣的是,他们是同时被创造出来的。尽管类人体的确比他的双胞胎弟弟早两个月公映,但是他们是同时被创作出来的。然而,这两个人物都得益于一个更早期的角色–the Heap,他比他们更早诞生。

k Cat and Catwoman

7.黑猫和猫女

盘点极其类似的10对超级英雄(上) 第4张

What makes them twins? Antihero femme fatales with a feline theme, each one attached to their publisher's most popular hero; Catwoman haunting Batman, and Black Cat with Spider-Man.

是什么让她们成为双胞胎?反英雄的蛇蝎美女总与猫相关。每一个形象都与出版商最爱的超级英雄有牵扯;猫女是和蝙蝠侠,而黑猫和蜘蛛侠。

Who they are: Catwoman is Selina Kyle, who has been both a whip-wielding thief and a heroic vigilante, depending on what mood suits her (and who is writing her). Though originally conceived as a Batman villain, Catwoman has grown to become a fan-favorite protagonist in her own right. Black Cat is Felicia Hardy, one of Peter Parker's most significant romantic interests, as well as being his partner-in-crime-fighting for a period of time.

她们是谁?猫女是塞琳娜·凯尔,她既是一个挥舞着鞭子的小偷同时又是一个英雄式的义务警察,这些角色的转换取决于她是什么心情(和谁在创作这角色)。虽然猫女最初是作为对抗蝙蝠侠的一个角色,但正因为她本身的特质使她逐渐成为粉丝最爱的一个人物。黑猫是费莉西亚·哈蒂,是彼得·帕克最重要的一段浪漫轶事的女主角,她也曾与他搭档,打击过一段时间的犯罪。

Who came first? Catwoman has been lurking around since Batman #1 in 1940, whereas Black Cat didn't sink her claws into the webhead until 1979.

谁先出现?猫女在1940年的第一卷《蝙蝠侠》中就出现过,黑猫直到1979年在《蜘蛛侠》中出现。

r and Aquaman

6.纳摩和水行侠

盘点极其类似的10对超级英雄(上) 第5张

What makes them twins? Both of them live under the sea. Both are the kings of Atlantis. Both of them breathe underwater and telepathically communicate with sea life. Need we say more?

为什么把他们当成双胞胎?他们都生活在海底。两者都是亚特兰蒂斯的国王。他们都可以在水下呼吸,并且能够与海洋生物进行心理沟通。我们还需多说吗?

Who they are: Namor, the Sub-Mariner, is the son of a human man and an Atlantean woman, though his loyalties have always sided with Atlantis. Many times, Namor has waged war against the surface world, riding on a thin line between antihero and villain. Aquaman, when he's not getting his hand torn off and replaced by a hook, is a bit less angry—though not much.

他们是谁?纳摩,称为游侠,虽然他是人类男子和亚特兰蒂斯女子所生之子,但是他一直忠诚于亚特兰蒂斯。纳摩多次与地表的人类发生争战,在反英雄和反面人物之间进行周旋。水行侠,当他的手被截除后,装上了铁钩。这之后他变得有些暴脾气。

Who came first? Though most people would be quick to say Aquaman, it's actually Namor who holds the official title of first underwater superhero. In addition, the Sub-Mariner is actually the first Marvel Comics character, making his first appearance back in 1939.

谁先出现?虽然大多数人会立刻说是水行侠,但是实际上纳摩是第一个获得水下英雄称号的人。除此之外,事实上纳摩是第一个漫威漫画人物,在1939年被创作出来。
