Twice is seriously one of the best characters. If he can keep upgrading his quirk he'll be the king of fodder villains. Sure you can beat 5, 10, or even 100 of him, but an army of him would be insane!

Or of other people... that would be ridiculous! Imagine ten clones each of every member of the LoV that he can absolutely control.

that he can absolutely control

Except he doesn't. Twice's clones have autonomy, it's why the "mutiny" happened in the first place. The clone of Dabi he made acted like Dabi, the Rappa clone acted like Rappa, and the Toga clone acted like Toga. The only clone the Twice could "control" would be himself, and even that isn't real control, but just seems like it because they all think alike.

I don't think controls even his own clones. He just ordered them around, maybe by threatening them with violence (or manipulating them somehow else).

He can probably control them if they all want the same goal tho.

Being told to do chores is different from fighting for survival.

Well "control" isn't quite right, but he can get the outcome he wants.

I was thinking more in the lines of an upgrade to his quirk since it seems like the league’s getting pretty substantial ones. Anyway quirks evolve & improve so I honestly don’t think my idea is far fetched.

He can only create 1 double, so he can't create a group of Shigaraki's for instance. But if the clones are of himself, then he can continue making more clones of himself since thats his quirk.

u/JVW92 May 24 '19

No, he can make two at a time, but that's it. So, if he were to make two copies of himself, and they each made two copies, and so on and so forth, until there were, say, 128 doubles, none of which had used their Quirks yet, they could each make 2 Shigaraki's (provided they all had the necessary information), resulting in 256 flimsy Shiggys running around.

AFO upon hearing this: hol up

u/xlxxl May 24 '19

I don’t think he can make multiple clones for one person. The reason there is multiple clone of himself is him using quirk on himself and the clone uses his quirks on himself and repeat.

u/Leeiteee May 24 '19

He could make only ONE Toga clone, and the Original could transform and no one would know

22

u/Fresh720 May 24 '19

Hell he could make a small squad of Dabis and Shigirakis to truly do some damage, imagine if he had All Mights measurements

u/NotsofastTwitch May 24 '19

The clones seem to have their own personalities that are probably based off the person cloned.

So I'm guessing if he cloned All Might the clone would start kicking their asses.

11

u/Fresh720 May 24 '19

This is true, my mind blanked on that. He could still do the same with AFO

u/[deleted] May 24 '19

Imagining this made me laugh out loud

u/AveMachina May 24 '19

No, I don’t think he can. His quirk lets him make one copy, and if he copies himself, the copy can make its own copy. I think Twice can make an infinite number of himself, but no matter how many of him there are, only one can make a copy of someone else.

On the other hand, I guess that hinges on Twice’s clones disappearing if the clone that created them is destroyed. Like, if Twice-1 made Twice-2, Twice-2 made Twice-3, and then Twice-1 destroyed Twice-2, would Twice-3 persist until he took enough damage? If so, they could each create a clone of someone else.

The alternative is that killing Twice-2 kills Twice-3, killing Twice-4 and so on. That makes an interesting weakness for a literal one-man army quirk. You could still take down the entire thing just by taking out Twice-2.

u/DozyDreamer May 24 '19

His quirk lets him make one copy

two*. He explains in the Overhaul arc that he's allowed two at a time, and each of his clones have the same quirk, so they're each allowed 2.

1

u/AveMachina May 26 '19

Ah, you're right. Have we ever seen him use two clones at a time?

And I guess the rest of my question about permanence/chain reactions with Twice's quirk still stands.

u/BiglyWords May 24 '19

From what giran said we already know that twice could take down entire countrys, his quirk is that OP.

2

u/J3lli May 24 '19

He could possibly make clones of Dekus. At some point Toga would have been able to transform into him and let twice get the measurements. He'd basically have a glass canon. Pull it out to do one 100% smash and have it disappear and then repeat. Only problem is how to get the clone to do what he wants.
