Line 66:
* Used with the Buffybot from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', a robot replica of the title heroine. A good example is the end of season 5, where Buffy apparently gets decapitated by the Big Bad, Glory. Lo and behold, the real Buffy then reveals herself, showing the first one to be a fake.
** Season nine opens with Buffy's arms feeling funny. Later in the series we see a shot of Andrew working on a robotic arm, then in a fight Buffy's arm is torn off to her horror. When it turns out that it's a robotic arm, remembering how upset she was when there was a robot version of her before, Buffy/Robobuffy gets even more upset.
** When Buffy creates an entire organization of Slayers, at [https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Buffy_Summers_(Rome_decoy)#cite_note-1 least two] [https://buffy.fandom.com/wiki/Buffy_Summers_(underground_decoy) of them] act as decoys to protect the real Buffy. Their methods of doing so seem to vary, with the first being ''very'' public to purposely draw attention from Buffy, the second being a more covert operative. The second one clearly managed to be a hero in her own right.
** An instance of this appears on ''[[Angel]]'', as well. A cyborg uses a [[Glamour]] to imitate {{spoiler|Wesley's father}}. When the cyborg threatens Fred, Wesley shoots it dead, revealing its true nature. Unlike most cases of this trope, the duplicate was not operating on behalf of the original.
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': System Lord Ba'al inherited Asgard Cloning Technology from his old master, Anubis. This let the writers kill him at least once almost every time he appeared after that. One episode revolved around SG-1 tracking down the lot of them. Or did they? {{spoiler|Turns out, they didn't. Either that, or he just made more clones afterward.}}
