Identity: Public · Race: Human · Affiliation: Independent, Occasional Collaborators with the Avengers
The Grimes brothers, Percy and Barton, are two of the most enigmatic and powerful human heroes in the Marvel Universe. Their magical abilities stem from their unique connection to ancient mystical forces, which they access through the use of enchanted books. Known for their brilliant minds and tactical prowess, they have fought alongside heroes like the Avengers and the X-Men, though their enigmatic and sometimes ruthless methods often place them in morally grey areas.
Percy is the more serious and calculating of the two, often playing the role of the strategist in their missions. He is methodical, quiet, and deeply intellectual, always analyzing the consequences of their actions before making a move. Barton, on the other hand, is the more impulsive and adventurous brother, thriving in high-stakes situations and often acting as the more charismatic one. Despite their contrasting personalities, they share a deep bond of loyalty and brotherhood. Their shared sense of humor and sometimes irreverent approach to danger make them an unexpected but effective pair in combat and strategy.
The Grimes brothers have quickly become fan favorites, largely due to their dynamic as both magical heroes and brilliant strategists. Readers appreciate their complexity—Percy's cold, calculating nature balanced by Barton's more carefree personality. However, some fans have expressed frustration with their morally ambiguous decisions in battle, often questioning the fine line between heroism and pragmatism. Nonetheless, the brothers' willingness to tackle complex challenges with intellect and magic has earned them a solid fanbase within the Marvel Universe.
