Kindred (Marvel Comics)

The Kindreds, or simply Kindred, is the name of several fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Introduced in 2004 as Gabriel and Sarah, the alleged twin children of Norman Osborn and Gwen Stacy, with Gabriel becoming the Grey Goblin and later the second American Son, their true origin is later revealed during the Sinister War story-arc as a series of constantly dying and recreated clones of Peter Parker (with a combination of Norman Osborn's genes) and Gwen, created by a corrupted A.I. copy of Harry Osborn, that were then transformed into demonic revenants by Mephisto as Kindred (along with both the mastermind A.I. Osborn and the trapped soul of the deceased human Osborn, who would victimize his healthy clone Harry Lyman, the first American Son, for unwittingly stealing his life).
