Duplication is a difficult power to portray in super hero roleplaying games, as it essentially gives a player multiple actions on a turn. The counter to that advantage, in Microlite 20 Costumes, is to keep each duplicate's statistics half of the original character's (and, of course, the duplicates can't duplicate themselves). Another simple solution is to have each duplicate to have just one hit point, to limit how long they're around.
Jamie Madrox is by far the best-known comics character with the duplication power. The 1990s X-Factor run where he became a detective helped flesh him out... but honestly, this post is for yet another reason. I've been busy the last few weeks, and haven't posted nearly as often as I'd like. So, a Multiple Man to make up for multiple missing blog posts.
