Fictional character biographies


Dumfree Tweed and Deever Tweed are cousins who resemble each other so closely that they are often mistaken for identical twins. The pair are known as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, both as a play on words on their real names, and because they closely resemble John Tenniel's depictions of the characters in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass.
Dum is killed in the War Games event, with his brother Dumfree replacing him. In Infinite Crisis, Tweedledum and Tweedledee join Alexander Luthor Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains.
The Tweeds later become the leaders of the Wonderland Gang, using one of the Mad Hatter's mind control devices on him to cash in on his notoriety. After Batman defeats the Gang, the Mad Hatter takes revenge by forcing the Tweeds to battle one another. They reform the Wonderland Gang with the Walrus and the Carpenter, but are quickly apprehended.
During the Salvation Run storyline, Tweedledum and Tweedledee are sent to another planet before being freed by Hush.




Powers and abilities


Tweedledum and Tweedledee have no superpowers, but their fat bodies enable them to bounce and roll at high speeds. In The New 52, the brothers have superhuman strength and resistance.
