Who is Brothers Grimm?

Origin Nathan Dolly was a world traveler and doll collector who received two wooden dolls from a old toymaker that resided in the Wundagore Mountain . The evil entity Chthon was imprisoned on the mountain in the Balkans of Central Europe where his mystical energies had infused the entire area including the trees. The toy maker had carved two death effigies from the wood that possessed magical potential and told Dolly that he could animate the figures by projecting his life essence into them. Dolly made the fatal mistake of projecting himself into both dolls at once and his spirit was trapped in them permanently. Dolly managed to mail his doll-selves to his wife Priscilla back in America. Priscilla studied the occult and discovered a way for her husband to transfer his spirit from the dolls into two full-sized mannikins that adopted the deathly garb. The two mannikins were brought to life and dubbed the Brothers Grimm. Dolly would use his surrogate bodies to perform criminal acts which led into numerous conflicts with Spider Woman .
