History
Lazy and overweight, Tweedledum has no fighting skill at all. Along with his cousin Tweedledee, he relies on his cunning and ruthless strategies in order to commit crime.
Dumfree and Denver Tweed are cousins who resemble each other so closely that you would mistake them for identical twins. The Tweeds are known as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, both as a play on words on their real names, and because they so closely resemble Sir John Tenniel's depictions of those characters in Lewis Caroll's "Through the Looking Glass." The two Tweeds always conduct their criminal activity in partnership with one another. Fat and lazy, they prefer to mastermind criminal schemes and let their henchmen carry out any necessary physical activity. The Tweeds will often use their extraordinary resemblence to trick their opponents into thinking there is only one of them. Tweedledum and Tweedledee first encountered Batman and Robin (Dick Grayson)when they began a crime spree in Gotham City. Batman and Robin captured the Tweeds and have overcome them on two subsequent occasions.
