Ironheart: Do Blood Siblings Exist in Marvel Comics or Are They Original Characters?

Ironheart is now streaming on Disney+, and as we dive into all these new characters showing up in the series, I’m pretty sure that curiosity has kicked in, and you’re probably wondering which of them trace back to the comics. Among all the fresh faces, there’s one duo that’s bound to raise your curiosity to the next level, the Blood Siblings. Who are they? Where did they come from? And more importantly, are they straight out of Marvel Comics or brand-new additions created just for the show? Well, let’s break it all down and find out if Ironheart’s Blood Siblings are canon to Marvel comics or not.

The simple answer to that is no, the Blood Siblings seen in Ironheart are not part of Marvel Comics. These characters have been made specifically for the series, but interestingly enough, there is a duo in Marvel Comics known as the Blood Brothers. In the comics, the Blood Brothers were henchmen for none other than Thanos himself. Over the years, they’ve fought the Avengers, especially Iron Man, on multiple occasions, making quite the impression as brawny, intimidating villains.

Now, if we circle back to the Blood Siblings we see in Ironheart, they aren’t canon to the comics, and from the looks of it, they seem like a creative twist on the original Blood Brothers. Considering how Ironheart has introduced The Hood as a villain, and the not-so-subtle hints pointing toward Mephisto pulling the strings, there’s a chance these siblings might evolve into something much darker and more brutal, potentially aligning more with their comic book inspirations.

But it’s still early days, and concluding the Marvel universe is always risky business. So, let’s wait and see how deep this bloodline runs.
