Doppelgangers have been added to AE for issue 18. You'll find them in a new group called "Doppelgangers", where they can be used as Bosses, Allies, Hostages, and Escorts.

Like with the i17 arcs, Doppelgangers will be bosses if you have bosses enabled in your difficulty settings. Otherwise they will be LTs.

When you select the Doppelganger arc you will be presented with a different set of options then when you pick a regular group. One option is whether to have the Doppelganger have the same powers as you or random powers, the other options are for appearance.

Appearance Options:

  • Shadow: the critter is all black
  • Reverse: The primary and secondary colors of your costume are switched.
  • Inverse: All colors are inverted (for example, Green is turned to Pink). That means skin tone as well as costume colors.
  • Black and White: Primary = Black, Secondary = White.
  • Angel: Angel Wings and Good Halo added to costume.
  • Demon: Demon Wings and Naughty Halo added to costume.
  • Ghost: Ghost/Reflection aura added to costume.

The rest of the settings, text, and animation options are the same as with any detail.

I can see there being a lot of basic "Fight yourself!" missions. I'll probably be making one of them

This is awesome stuff. Before this I was trying to figure out how to work around the system for dopplegangers, but now we get them and with so many varieties no less.

Big thanks to the devs for this one, and I already have 2 arcs in mind that can use this.

I really need to get my internet going again after moving last month so I can put my new arc up, hopefully an interesting clone story.
