I was thinking about the concept of twin cousins that it's occasionally finds in the stories of the ducks and I noticed a subgenus what I call the "twin cousins of destiny".
Two identical cousins who are at the two opposite poles of a quality as elements of a cosmic Yin and Yang, such as Gladstone and Sadstone for fortune, Scrooge and Jason for avarice, Magica and Adelia for magic.

Scrooge also has Moocher. And I seem to recall that Gus has an uptight, ship-shape cousin who's in the army. (Gladstone and Sadstone are really brothers, though. Them being cousins was publisher-meddling of the worst order, and should not be held canonical.)
Speaking of twins, Scrooge's brother from "The Man of the West", that we talked in an older thread. He takes his generosity as seriously as Scrooge takes his stinginess. He himself states he was born on the "tick" of the clock of destiny, while Scrooge was born on the "tock".
