Doppelgangers

This article is a stub. You can help the Paragon 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. 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 Doppleganger 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 inyour 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.

Levels: 20-29 So far...

Flawed Clone

While this clone actually looks like you, there is still something not quite right. Perhaps with some better technology it could be improved?

Levels: 20-29 So far...

Powers

This clone spawns with a seemingly random set of powers. See this thread on the official forums for examples.

Evil Clone

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.
