History
The Gaines Twins were siblings named Roland and Roxanne who were born with psychic powers. It was noted that captured their parents were captured by Kraven the Hunter for scientific experimentation, which eventually killed them. This came at a time when the twins were young and following the death of their parents the pair decided to use their powers to try to get revenge on him.
After escaping their armored prison transport, the diabolical The Gaines Twins - Roxanne and Roland - brain-blasted Spider-Man causing him to believe that Mary Jane Watson had died at the hands of Kraven the Hunter. Convinced by Frank Elson, a mysterious stranger, that the only solace was revenge, Spider-Man tracks down Kraven in order to pay him the identical fate he inflicted on MJ. During his fight with Kraven, Spider-Man realizes that the Gaines Twins were behind everything and Spider-Man sought them out to confront them. During the confrontation it looks like Spider-Man was winning as he freed MJ from their grasp. Things take a turn for the worse when the Twins used their mental power to trick Spider-Man into nearly kill his girlfriend Indira Daimonji by making her look like looking like Roxanne. As a result, he tracked down the Gaines Twins at a propane factory for a final showdown. Spider-Man then separated the two and defeated them individually. They seemingly died in an explosion. Unfortunately, the city turned against Spider-Man believing he attacked Indy. The guilt caused Spider-Man to pack his costume inside of a suitcase filled with rocks and throw it to the bottom of the harbor, quitting his career as a crime-fighter.
Overview
In appearance, the Gaines Twins were a brother and sister with dark black hair named Roland and Roxanne.
Though they appeared harmless, the two actually possessed powerful mental abilities allowing them to generate realistic illusions. As such, their power allowed them to influence people's minds to manipulate them and make them see what was not really there. Typically, they used their mind powers to manipulate and deceive people in order to manipulate them for their own personal gain. Roxanne was notably the older and more powerful of the siblings. Though when combined they are a formidable force.
It was noted that physically Roland was not a strong fighter which meant others could defeat him in a confrontation.
