I don't think you can just add up your clones lives and say that equals immortal's age lol. Don't think it works quite like that Kate lol.

That’s not true. Different cloning powers have different experiences. For instance the Multiple Man Jamie Madrox reabsorbs the memories of his dupes to attain more knowledge. He doesn’t use that for his age, but the experiences enrich him to know more about the world. If Kate feels that way about all the lives she lives, she’s processing much more information at the same time.

For another example, Naruto in his anime uses his shadow clones to train faster. By using hundreds of clones, he’s able to speed up his rasengan training, turning months into days, allowing him to learn a technique that usually take years much sooner.

I don’t think we should use our view of life to invalidate Kate’s experiences.

Since you pulled up Naruto, I wonder if Kate could become a super genius by having a bunch of her clones constantly learning things from textbooks or the internet.
