    No offence Cecil but, I could’ve told you this clone plan wasn’t going to work. Read almost any comic ever Cecil! It never ends well!

      Is he a clone or a robot? I figured with the knife bending like that, it probably meant he was a robot with metalic bones just with flesh over it kinda like Schwarzaneggar in the Terminator films.

        Nah, he’s definitely not a robot. He bleeds after stabbing himself which was why he was relieved. He probably underwent an Allen situation. They cloned him to be stronger than an average human. They may have even used Mark’s cells since they showed them testing Marks blood in S1.

          He’s relieved, but then they zoom in and show him being shocked, because the tip of the knife bent.

            Yes, hence why I said, “they cloned him to be stronger than the average human”. He bleeds so he knows he’s real and alive, not a robot, but the knife is bent so there’s still something very different about him that hasn’t been revealed to us. I think it’s possible they spliced Donald with Mark’s viltrumite DNA, but it could also just be a genetic process similar to how Allen the alien was made.

          This is what I was thinking. Is this Donald #2 or… #3? How about #20?

          considering you can see bits of organic spine crumbling out of omni man’s hands after he kills donald, i’d say the donald that died was the flesh and blood original and s2 donald is either a robot with his memories or original donald with a 95% robot body

          That’s pretty clearly the arc they’re setting up for him, especially having him finding the glasses and start questioning himself right next to the Maulers cloning part. Their whole thing is they don’t know who the clone is and who the original is (and in all likelihood, the original is lost to time and they’re both clones of clones of clones). They didn’t really have much of a story this episode, so it was more to set that up as a parallel to Donald where, like them, he starts to question if he’s real or not and, again like them, probably has been replaced several times over

        The knife bent so he’s a cyborg. I bet his body was created with the technology of the crazy evil guy in S1, who turned innocent college kids into lobotomized cyborgs. Cecil was shown to have taken him in for his knowledge.

      Did clone/robot Donald hear omni–man call him spineless? Like that was so unnecessarily cold lines to die too. Follow up do you think the video of it gets shown around the shadow government?

      I really wished that when he was going to see footage alleging his clone status, a software block would stop him from actually understanding what he’s seeing similar to Westworld’s “hmm, that doesn’t look like anything to me”

        I’m just amazed he had Cecil’s password. Come on Cecil, you run this huge government spy agency, please tell me you aren’t writing your passwords on a Post-It note on the back of your monitor. A guy as paranoid as him doesn’t even implement two factor authentication?
