| - *Replication: Jamie Maddox creates an identical physical living duplicate of himself by undergoing rapid cellular mitosis, using extra-dimensional mass to provide the matter needed for his dupes. Originally, he needed to use kinetic impacts as a focusing technique in order to initiate his powers; additionally, sometimes foreign kinetic impacts could trick Maddox's mind to cause the replication process to spontaneously occur. Although he can create multiple duplicates, and the duplicates themselves can also replicate, each is only able to create one duplicate at a time. The duplicates think, feel, and act independently, though usually guided by the original. As long as Maddox is with his clones, they act as a collective-mind. However, each tends to manifest one aspect of Maddox's personality, which increases in strength with lengthier separation from the original; these traits have recently become more extreme. It is virtually impossible to distinguish the original from the duplicates. His powers have increased during his life. He was once able to create hundreds of dupes by himself. He has even gained better control of his powers, he has learned to prevent his body from producing duplicates, and has even been shown duplicating without kinetic impact.
:*Telepathic Duplicate Communication: Although unable to communicate with others telepathically, Maddox has a low-level telepathic and empathic connection to his duplicates. In the past, it has been used for a degree of control/coordination over groups of duplicates. He has also demonstrated that this connection can be used sort of like a homing device to track dupes when they are close by. However, as his duplicates grow increasingly independent and unpredictable, they have been able to lie to Maddox and avoid detection. It is this telepathic connection with his duplicates that allows Maddox to feel the pain experienced by a dupe. It is also responsible for the psychic feedback whenever a dupe dies.
:*Duplicate Teleportation: Maddox is able to teleport himself to any of his dupes or his dupes back to him. To achieve this feat, he and his dupes travel through the dimension that Maddox draws the extra matter from.
:*Duplicate Absorption: The original Maddox can absorb them back into himself at will, at the same time absorbing the memories, skills and experiences of the duplicate. The only limit to this power is he can't absorb a dead dupe.
::*Duplicate Experience Transference: when Maddox merges a dupe back, he retains the memories , knowledge, and experiences of the dupe. Maddox doesn't have to absorb his duplicates to absorb information from them, he automatically absorbs information from any of his dupes if they kills themselves.
::*Duplicate Healing: Maddox has used the absorption process to heal physical damage experienced by his duplicates. By creating a dozen healthy duplicates, the injuries of one dupe are therefore watered down and lessened when they are all re-absorbed at the same time. However, if an injured duplicate was to create dupes of his own then he would create duplicates with the exact same injuries. Now, the core Maddox can reabsorb injured or even near-dead dupes without taking on any of their physical injuries at all; however, the emotional damage remains.
:*Regenerative Healing Factor: With intense concentration, he can focus the mitosis process and matter acquisition to "partially replicate" body parts in order to replace damaged tissues. It is easier and less time-consuming to absorb a healthy dupe.
:*Doppelgänger Summoning: a faculty of Replication in which one can replicate others. In order to initiate this feat, Maddox must be in physical contact with the subject he wishes to replicate. The doppelgänger that is produced will have a telepathic/empathic rapport with Maddox, as if they were his own clones, and they will follow any commands he gives at first. Like his own dupes, the doppelgängers may gain autonomy and begin to assert self-control if Maddox does not devote enough time and energy to control them. These doppelgängers once they gain autonomy, may even develop different aspects of the personalities of the genetic template.
:*Object Replication: Maddox unconsciously uses this facet of his power each time he replicates in order to provide clothes for his dupes. With training, Maddox will be able to act as a living copy-machine, being able to replicate any physical, inanimate object he touches. However, if an object is enchanted, his copied objects will not possess the magical qualities.
