Shout out to the Mauler twins. They’ve really grown on me since episode 1. Much different than brick villains you typically see in comics. THEORY

You ent seen nothing yet, can't wait to see what they do with their story from the comics, plenty more to come from these guys

Well, some will be clones. The one in the pic is clearly the original.

What do you mean? Clearly they’re the clones!

My favorite arc is the one where, because of facial scarring, they definitively know who the "original" is and he promptly becomes master to the other twin... until he is poisoned.

And that is why they have their memories partially wiped during cloning.

I dont think they do. I think they know who woke up on what side of the beds.

I think they both know theyre clones, but the "no im the real one" is just a huge part of the relationship they have as 'brothers'

Theyre super smart, i dont think theyre actually confused.

I thought that aswell. Like they knew that it would be stupid to truly bicker and fight about it, so the transition being 'seemless' means both feel like the original, instead of one feeling like a 'clone'. Allows them to work together better.

It was a futile attempt to not dilute the pool, every copy is from the masters, per se. Trying to avoid a Planescape Torment thing i guess.

well he says himself that it can never work if they know who's who since they'll lord it over the other one and slow their progress

That's what I'm referring to, they lose their memory leading up to the cloning so neither one knows who the original is.

They don't lose any memory...

They just both have all the memory, so both think they are the original.
