No offence Cecil but, I could've told you this clone plan wasn't going to work. Read almost any comic ever Cecil! It never ends well!

Is he a clone or a robot? I figured with the knife bending like that, it probably meant he was a robot with metalic bones just with flesh over it kinda like Schwarzaneggar in the Terminator films.

Nah, he's definitely not a robot. He bleeds after stabbing himself which was why he was relieved. He probably underwent an Allen situation. They cloned him to be stronger than an average human. They may have even used Mark's cells since they showed them testing Marks blood in S1.

He's relieved, but then they zoom in and show him being shocked, because the tip of the knife bent.

Yes, hence why I said, "they cloned him to be stronger than the average human". He bleeds so he knows he's real and alive, not a robot, but the knife is bent so there's still something very different about him that hasn't been revealed to us. I think it's possible they spliced Donald with Mark's viltrumite DNA, but it could also just be a genetic process similar to how Allen the alien was made.
