I ended up taking one of those DNA tests and it turned into a long, wild ride and one heckuva story
Turns out I have a brother and we are fraternal twins; the results of a secret experiment carried out at a genetics laboratory to produce the perfect child, using sperm donated by six different fathers. Our mother, Mary Ann Benedict, was told that the children died at birth, while the children were informed once old enough that their mother died in childbirth. Accepting this, Mary Ann had gone on to become a successful artist. While successful, the program was considered a failure and shut down because of the conception of the twins, one inheriting the "desirable traits", and the other being the "genetic trash".

I was placed in an orphanage run by nuns in Los Angeles, California whilst my brother, Julius, was taken to an unnamed South Pacific island and raised by Professor Werner (one of the scientists involved in the experiment) like a modern Doc Savage to become highly intelligent, physically very strong and spiritually pure. He learned to speak twelve languages, and excelled in mathematics, history, science and literature. He was not told about his younger brother until his 35th birthday.[1]

In Los Angeles, with no-one but himself to rely on, I escaped from the orphanage as soon as I was old enough and developed into a shady lowlife, involved in shady business deals and car theft and in debt to the notorious loan sharks, the Klane brothers. I was also a womanizer and a smart aleck with a lust for money. Eventually, my debts caught up with me and I was arrested for unpaid parking fines.

Julius is told about his unknown brother by Werner, and comes to Los Angeles to look for him. Highly intelligent, but extremely naïve about the real world his more worldly brother inhabits, he bails me out of jail, but is immediately afterwards snubbed by me, and I leave him in the prison car park. Julius, however, tracked me to my workplace, where I am being beaten by one of the Klane brothers, Morris, for the unpaid debt. Julius easily bests Morris and earns my respect and trust. He eventually meets my on-off-on girlfriend, Linda Mason. Knowing little about women, Julius doesn't understand the flirtatious advances of her blonde sister Marnie (who dislikes me), but eventually falls in love with her. I soon reveal to Julius a document I stole from the orphanage when I ran away that proves that our mother is in fact still alive, yet I, under the belief that my mother abandoned me at birth, showed no interest in tracking her down. Julius, however, finds our mother's address on the document and pays the place a visit. While our mother is not there, Julius meets one of his six fathers, who fills him in on the experiment and informs him of the other scientist, Mitchell Traven, who might know where their mother is.

Using a stolen Cadillac that carries a secret prototype fuel injector, which I was delivering to a rival industrialist in Houston, Texas in exchange for five million dollars which I intended to use to pay the money I owed to the Klane brothers, the two couples go on a cross-country journey to track Traven down. We eventually find Traven in Los Alamos, New Mexico, who told us that our mother is living in an art colony near Santa Fe. On the way to the colony, we're found at a bar by the Klane brothers, with the intent of killing me, but Julius and I beat them back and fought them off for the last time. Reaching the colony, we're informed our mother died and we left. In reality, the woman who told us of the passing is in fact our mother, but she didn't believe the story, fearing we were land speculators and since she didn't even know she had twins. Little did we know that the real contract delivery man for the injector, Mr. Webster, was tracking us. This man has the uncomfortable habit of killing the people who cross him in his business (including his contractors) if they see his face, in order to preserve his identity. At one point earlier on, Webster breaks into my house, in intercept him, crossing paths with the Klane brothers. In a skirmish, he shoots two of them in the legs but does not kill them.

While Julius seems to accept their mother's death, I was angry and disappointed, taking it out on Linda and Julius. I stormed off, leaving Julius and the girls stranded in New Mexico to deliver the engine to the industrialist, Beetroot McKinley. Linda informs Julius of the engine, and Julius embarks on another journey to track me down. I eventually delivered the stolen property to McKinlely, but as I am about to return home with the money, McKinley is shot and killed by Webster, who then turns his attention to me just as Julius arrives. A cat-and-mouse chase ensues and Julius intercepts Webster as I flee, but I, hearing my brother's voice, reluctantly go back and give up the money to Webster. But as Webster prepares to kill them both for seeing his face, Julius stalls Webster long enough for me to release a heavy chain onto Webster's head, killing him and burying him in a mountain of chains. Julius and I make amends, and I reluctantly agree to return the money and the stolen engine to the authorities, but I secretly skim off one million. Meanwhile, our publicity reaches the art colony, and our mother realises that the two "comedians" who visited her were in fact her long lost sons.

Julius and I return the money (me keeping 1 million for myself), marry the Masons, and use the $50,000 reward money to start up a legitimate consulting business, utilizing Julius's knowledge and my questionable business savvy. Our mother eventually tracked us down to our office and we shared a tearful reunion. In the end, we ended up having pairs of twins with our respective wives, our mother and Professor Werner as a big happy family.

Pretty amazing stuff and it never would've happened if I didn't take that DNA test.
