I'm sure someone will post a chatbot answer, but I'm looking for human input and human opinion on this ability / power:
BODY DUPLICATION / MULTIPLE MAN
Basically, you can make a duplicate of yourself. Sometimes you're mindlinked (Paratwa series) and sometimes you can make multiple bodies (Jamie Maddrox the Multiple Man from Marvel's X-Men).
I'm looking to write one up -- but I'm hung up on the logistics of duplication. I do not want to make a ton of naked clones (so I would need to feed/clothe/equip them individually); however, being able to duplicate clothing, and not other items held or worn (i.e., weapons, McGuffin, key plot items, etc.) does not make sense in the broader scheme of things.
It makes sense in a videogame or an RPG setting (magic; non-HERO point foci and items, etc.) but not "realistically" or even "quasi-realistically".
So far, I've a few ideas I'd like opinions on:
(1) Mirror Reflection - Duplicates what's seen in the reflection. This means once the outer garments or armor is removed, what's underneath is a non-skinned mesh model of nothingness (i.e., original reflection has sunglasses; the clone removing the glasses will not have eyes, but exhibit nothing since it was not reflected in the mirror during the duping process)
(2) 4th Dimensional Dupliction - Duplication occurs from the 4th dimension whereby the dulicate steps out from the original due to a different spatio-temporal outcome, choice, or event. This duplicates not only the individual, but everything he is in physical contact with at the time. Similar to Nicholas Cage's SFX heavy scene from the movie, Knowing.
(3) Psychic Duplication (options include body horror) - mentalist capable of we-writing other mundane people's minds, effectively, mentally cloning himself, but with a different body, but same mind (perhaps even a shared mind, like The Eight, from the Rob Lowe movie, The Specials). Optional body horror involves the possessed duplicate to break apart his skin and change into a clone of the original, like a Lovecraft movie with money for body horror SFX.
(4) Asexual budding, similar to The Substance (without a substance), and where there is no original per se to be destroyed. I'm taking a page from the Body Shifters series on Literotica for this one.
(5) Other means ???
If anyone has other means or comments for duplication, I'd like to hear it. This may be my magnum opus, if I decide to commit to it.
Thanks
