I used to think that when writers heard the word "twin", the part of their brain involving rational thought just shut down to give way to "we totally need to have an evil version of our character". I mean, I just couldn't imagine something like that having ANY basis in reality.
Then it got real.
Wow... Well score one for "nurture".
Seriously though, impersonating her twin and then trying to have her killed? It's like the list of serial plotlines a silver age comic tries to get away with as they try more and more idiotic things.
The next time we see this twin she'll have made some sort of evil pact with a ghost to gain phenominal cosmic power, and the twin's blood is the only thing that can sever the chain, or something.
