The Terrible Tweeds

History[]

The Terrible Tweeds are a group of Luchadores that consist of five Tweed Brothers. Jervis Tetch finds the Terrible Tweeds wrestling and hypnotizes them into helping him break Alice Tetch out of the Gotham City Police Department. The brothers assault the Gotham City Police Department and successfully break Alice out, resulting in two of the brothers being killed and another one of the brothers being arrested. Dumfree, Deever and Jervis escape to an abandoned amusement park with Alice. Upon Harvey Bullock threatening to burn the masks of the two deceased Tweeds, the younger Tweed Brother cooperates with Bullock and tells him where Jervis took Alice. Jervis' blood-harvesting plot is interrupted by Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock. After a long confrontation, the tension is broken up when Alice accidentally falls over a ledge and is impaled in the stomach, killing her instantly. Dumfree and Deever then escape with Jervis after the police arrive.^[1] Dumfree and Deever later assist Jervis in kidnapping of Leslie Thompkins and Valerie Vale. They later watch as Jim and Mario Calvi Falcone make a failed rescue attempt. Jervis then demanded Jim to choose which woman he would kill. Jim tells Jervis to shoot Lee, but Jervis does opposite and shoots Valerie. After this, Jervis and his henchman escape.^[2] Jervis soon visits an herbalist, the latter giving him an accelerator made from the Red Queen plant for a virus which is said to put someone in the "loony bin". Jervis, Dumfree and Deever later infiltrate the morgue where Alice's body is being held and steal it. At his lair, Jervis proceeds to harvest her blood and combines it with the Red Queen plant in order to further his plans. After Jervis's plan is foiled by the GCPD, Dumfree, Deever and Jervis are incarcerated at Arkham Asylum.^[3]

• Just like in the comics, there are more than two Tweed relatives that substitute each other in the identities of "Tweedledum and Tweedledee". In most continuities the Tweeds are cousins, while in Gotham they are siblings.
• There is a chance that Bullock may have killed the unnamed brothers while at the GCPD, but it is not specified.
