Phlebiac Brothers


The Phlebiac Brothers are antagonists in Todd McFarlane's Spawn series of comic books.

Background

Dubbed the "true denizens of Hell," the Phlebiac brothers are five powerful demonic beings, servants of Malebolgia. The Violator claims they were born of human mothers, but sired by a full-blooded demon from Hell, apparently for a project of John Dee; and that he, the eldest son, later killed their father. They each possess inhuman strength and invulnerability, as well as telepathic, regenerative, possessive, and shapeshifting abilities.
In an alternate future of the year 2015, the brothers are corrupt police officers and henchman of Spawn, who has become a murderous dictator.

In other media

The Phlebiac Brothers appears in the video game as playable characters and as cameos in Spawn's ending in Mortal Kombat 11.
