Alter ego Jake and William Dolly

Mister Doll was a criminal who could mystically harm a person by harming a doll whose features he could reshape to resemble the victim's. Later, in the process of creating the Brothers Grimm dolls, Nathan's consciousness is trapped simultaneously inside both doll mannequins. They are used by Nathan's wife Priscilla to power a pair of life size versions. She names them Jake and William (the names are a take on the Brothers Grimm), treats them as if they are her sons, and they in turn completely believe this to be true.

Priscilla's plan is to use her occult knowledge to transfer Nathan's mind from the mannequins to a living human body. These efforts are stopped by Spider-Woman, and Nathan's consciousness disperses.

Famous quotes containing the word pair:

    Oh, Jacques, we’re used to each other, we’re a pair of captive hawks caught in the same cage, and so we’ve grown used to each other. That’s what passes for love at this dim, shadowy end of the Camino Real.
    Tennessee Williams (1914–1983)

    I should have been a pair of ragged claws
    Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
