The twin theory, the addition of evil used or not, can be used well, like in Gravity Falls, especially in comedic ways. However, I'm not a fan of the cliche, and I really think it would fall flat in this series. There is no reasonable build-up, as it would feel out of left field to take the hints pointing at Gabriel and suddenly say, "Joke's on you!" The purpose would fall flat too. I don't care for a twin who is jealous of his brother and wants his wife. I care more for Gabriel because it is his wife and I could believe him having more stakes related to his wife.

It's not impossible, but I would be really disappointed and annoyed if Hawk Moth ended up being a duplicate of another character with nearly identical motivations and nothing giving him legitimate relations to the main characters (how is it going to matter if Adrien didn't know about an uncle, for example).
