Well, there are just a lot of references that identify Silk directly 
with Typhon.
Tussah might be blonde, but we can't know because he is bald.
It's not that Silk and Tussah aren't identical twins. Chenille is 
suggested to look like Tussah in drag with large breasts. But Horn 
doubts that she and Silk could be siblings because they "really don't 
look alike".
