What Is The Drawbacks of Your Abilities? The major drawback of Replica's abilities is the progressive potential for instability and deterioration that occurs in his duplicates.

What Other Skills Do You Have? Dr. Whitaker possesses advanced knowledge in molecular biology and bioethics, which he utilizes to study and mitigate the risks associated with his abilities.

How Do Your Abilities make You Feel? While he appreciates the creative potential of his power, he also feels the weight of the consequences and the need to carefully manage its usage.
