Duploid

A Duploid is a biological clone created through an unorthodox act of fission. Duploids differ from traditional clones insofar that they are usually created through a means beyond that of standard laboratory science. While some duploids may possess independent thought and free will, others are subservient to the parent organism. Duploids are usually created to perform a specific function, upon completion of which, they return to their original state by fusing with their parent body. The super-villain, Multiplex, possessed the ability to spontaneously generate Duploids in his own image. The hero, Impulse, likewise possessed such an ability during his tenure with Young Justice. In the 30th/31st centuries, Luornu Durgo of the Legion of Super-Heroes had the ability to generate duplicates of herself and has been known by several code-names reflecting this power such as Duo Damsel, Triplicate Girl and Una.
