Bonny Hoffman and
Carmen Leno are assassins who work for Requiem, Inc., an agency for hired killers. Bonny, daughter of a crime lord, wants to prove her worth to her father, while Carmen, a former adult film actress, hopes to become a legitimate actress. Both women meet and become assassins and use many types of hi-tech weapons, often concealed in, or disguised as, makeup accessories. Bonny's uncle Nick hires the Body Doubles for their first job, which brings them into conflict with
Resurrection Man. The two later work for a beauty-obsessed alien warrior named Mystress, who wants to use the energies of female superheroes to rejuvenate her appearance, and for whom the Body Doubles kidnap
Argent,
Power Girl and
Deep Blue. The two also try to kill
Catwoman during her campaign for mayor of
New York City, but they were defeated. The Body Doubles are members of the new
Injustice League, and as such are brought to the
Planet Salvation, a distant planet filled with deadly technology used by
Amanda Waller as a permanent prison for
metahumans and costumed villains, forcing them to behave or die. The Body Doubles use the wounded
Hellhound, on the pretense of helping him, as a bait to let their group escape from alien beasts. They end up in the main group saved by
Lex Luthor, with which they are returned to Earth. The Body Doubles were seen among the villains sent to retrieve the Get Out of Hell free card from the
Secret Six.
The New 52 The Body Doubles appear in the relaunched
Resurrection Man series. In the new continuity, the two are a
romantic couple and, rather than being supervillains, are mercenaries in the employ of an organization that Mitch Shelley (The Resurrection Man) once worked for and which now wants him back to figure out how he returns from the dead. The two have rapid
regeneration, able to heal from any injury almost instantly and are shown recovering from electric shocks, broken bones and various physical injuries rapidly. It is implied that they worked with Mitch personally at some point, as they make comments suggesting they knew him fairly well when he worked for the company that employs them though they appear to have disliked him a great deal when working with him. ==References==
