Yin and Yang?!

Remember these two?
Aside from the fact that they're obviously non-canon, I just find these two supposedly ultra-omnipotent beings to be completely and utterly ridiculous. They were shown to have powers beyond that of what were considered to bet the most powerful characters of the Earth-616 and New Earth universes, the Living Tribunal and the Spectre (story's words, not mine mind you, I know better). While the story was itself good I just thought it obviously weird to include two such entities even if they made sense for the story.
What astounds me though is what I found out as I was doing a little research on the Vine. Apparently on the entry for these two characters they are officially called "The Brothers Yin and Yang," and I really need some verification of where that was written, because I was under the impression, based on the issues they appeared in, were referred to only as "The Brothers", even if this moniker is still incorrect considering that the term should have been "The Siblings" since the story indicated that both universal beings were apparently sexless.
Still, does the the name "Brothers Yin and Yang" strike anyone as odd even if its correct? After all, Yin and Yang implies lightness and darkness, justice and injustice, good and evil. Is this to say that one of the "Siblings" is evil? If so, which one? Look carefully at the heroes and villains listed. Notice Ben Grimm and Bruce Banner specifically. Their expressions kind of exemplify my feelings on the Brothers' very existence and the questions I am posting here believe it or not!
