**** Check out the new X-Factor Investigations Guild. Currently Under Construction, but feel free to join us! We will be working together with other Marvel and RP guilds once we are fully up and running ****Jamie's body produces exact duplicates (dupes) of himself whenever he absorbs kinetic energy. This kinetic energy can be as mundane as snapping his fingers, clapping his hands together, bumping into a wall, or being struck. He has also been able to create duplicates with little to no physical damage after being struck by Cyclops' optic blast or Gambit's exploding cards (both abilities use pure kinetic energy). When a duplicate splits off, the dupe is also wearing whatever clothing Jamie was wearing at the time.
His power seems to be always active (similar to Rogue or Cyclops), so many times duplicates are created unintentionally. Each duplicate can create other duplicates, and each is capable of independent thought and action. Lately, all duplicates he creates are very strongly influenced by one aspect of Jamie's personality making them very unpredictable and sometimes emotionally unstable. Recently, Jamie has come to believe that this new splintering of his personality is from spreading himself too thin and releasing too many dupes into the world. Originally the limit of duplicates that Jamie could create was around forty, but since then he is able to create much more than that. The current limit has not yet been specified.
Jamie has a low-level telepathic and empathic connection to his duplicates which in the past has been used for a degree of control/coordination of the group. He has also demonstrated that this connection can be used sort of like a homing device to track dupes when they are close by.
Jamie can also reabsorb his dupes into himself. He no longer needs physical contact to do this, and can remotely absorb dupes anywhere in close proximity. The absorption process integrates their memories, experiences, and skills into himself. Because Jamie has sent dupes out into the world to experience all he can simultaneously, Jamie has acquired a vast amount of knowledge and skill in a variety of fields. Jamie has been (or is currently) a lawyer, doctor, private investigator, a monk, a trained agent of both SHIELD and HYDRA, an Olympic gymnast and much more. Jamie also sent out dupes to learn hand to hand combat and has mastered Muay Thai kickboxing, Judo, Filipino Pencack Silat, Krav Maga, Kung Fu and other martial arts. Additionally, he is able to speak a wide variety of languages. The large number of times he has reabsorbed dupes that have lived separate lives has also left Jamie with some degree of confusion, unable to sort out whether certain things were experienced by a duplicate or himself.
Jamie used to also absorb physical damage done to his duplicates (around half of the damage that the dupe incurred), but does not anymore. He has even absorbed dying duplicates in the past without incurring any physical damage, but he strongly tries to avoid this because of the mental and emotional anguish it causes him to experience his own death in this manner. Because physical damage is not passed on, absorption of dupes gives him some small amount of healing ability. It is also speculated that if the original Madrox is killed that one of his duplicates would take on the main portion of the abilities of the group and become the new Madrox.
