Duplication

Duplication is the ability to multiply an object or a person.

Users can duplicate targets instantly and accurately. Some are able to duplicate themselves hundreds of times, others take an object and duplicate it instead. Most users have both abilities, as their clothes are often copied with their bodies. Some also have the ability to remove their copies as quickly as they were created. The biological characteristics are identical, but each copy has had different experiences and can therefore develop its own personality over time. Copies always work together and always have the same mind and the same goals.

Possible Uses

Instant Army: An endless and powerful army is immediately available to the user

Flood: Copy an item and let it flood an area (like water)
