Doppelgangers
This article is a stub. You can help the Wiki by expanding it.
Overview
Not much detail exists concerning Doppelgangers. Any individual encountering their Doppleganger will find themselves face to face with their own mirror image. This double will look and sound the same and will possess the same powers, but will have a mind entirely their own. The Doppleganger may be working toward the same end as their counterpart or may be pursuing an entirely different goal. It is not certain whether Dopplegangers are clones or beings from alternate dimensions, but each considers itself to be the original and will view any other version as just another copy.
The villain Protean, in connection with Praetoria, appears to be behind the doppelgangers. He is heavily involved with the 5th Column and cloning labs. Furthermore, although at the end of both story arcs involving the doppelgangers they all appear to have been destroyed, a random NPC dialog would seem to indicate that at least one clone from Leonard Silmon's arc survived.
Differences
A Doppelganger will spawn in the costume your character is wearing at the time it spawns, but it will not change costumes afterwards. Dopplegangers share your power pools, but may exhibit specific powers you have not selected, especially if they are "flawed clones".
Villain Types
Clones
From barely more than the goo scraped from the bottom of the cloning vat, to a version so flawless it could pass for you in your own mirror, clones are the result of what some call "forbidden" science.
Flawed Clones
Clones Gone Horribly Wrong
These clones use the same models as the Banished Pantheon zombies, and are even labeled as part of the Banished Pantheon villain group. They can be found in the first mission from Leonard Silmon. They include such specimens as: Rancid Clone, Undeveloped Clone, Clone Gone Horribly Wrong, Destroyed Clone, Disgusting Clone, Putrid Clone, Walking Corpse, and Horrific Clone.
Description
This...isn't exactly a clone of yourself.

Flawed Clone
Encountered in Dean MacArthur's last mission. This clone will have your supergroup labeled as its villain group. While this clone actually looks like you, there is still something not quite right. Perhaps with some better technology it could be improved? Please add what happens if you are not part of a supergroup
Description
This clone is almost your exact replica, but it seems like something isn't quite right with it.

Powers
This clone spawns with a seemingly random set of powers. See this thread on the official forums for examples.
Perfected Clones
Perfected clones not only walk like you, talk like you, but they shoot flame/blast energy/pound things with their fists like you! These clones will have your supergroup name as their enemy group. Please add what happens if you are not part of a supergroup
Working Clones
These clones are encountered in Special Agent Jenni Adair's final mission. You can see them in a cutscene and in the final room, where they will have been defeated.
Test Clones
These clones have been created in your own personal cloning lab. You must face them yourself, to ensure that they process went correctly. They include: Angry, Serene, Rude, Profane, Self-Absorbed, Shy, Insane, and Perfected Clone.

Your Evil Mirror
Encountered in Field Agent Keith Nance's arc, this clone is an evil version of you. It will spawn wearing your current costume, with some minor color variations. It is a good enough clone that it is able to fool many of your fellow heroes and a government agency into believing that it is you.
Description
It's...you! But...not you. Sort of. Whoever this person is, they must be the one responsible for ruining your name!
There may be a second description, from the second time it is encountered in Nance's arc. If so, please add it
