** There's a couple of ways to look at it; Jimmy uses his clones to experience things that he otherwise can't because of his physical condition, so he plays different characters the same way you'd have one voice actor playing different roles in a video game. The other possibility is that each clone has its own brain, so each one has individual, unique experiences and memories, with the original being sort of a hub for all the others that contains all the actual information from all of them, but doesn't have the experiences. For instance, if Punk Jimmy hits a mosh pit, Original Jimmy is aware that it is happening, but being paralyzed, he doesn't have the muscle memory or the ability to feel the excitement or pain of moshing, so when he later switches to Hippie Jimmy, Hippie Jimmy knows Punk Jimmy hit the mosh pit, but because Original Jimmy can't transmit the feelings associated with it, Hippie Jimmy doesn't have the experience of hitting the mosh pit.

** Remember that the movie was inspired by FPS games, many of which give final bosses unexplained powers to make them boss material. This was a homage to that concept. The reason why he didn't get more down to earth powers like Henry is because that would make the point of Henry being a SuperPrototype completely pointless; if he's stronger than Henry, then Henry's creation would be pointless since Akan could do what Henry could but better. If he's weaker than Henry, then he has the danger of being killed by a soldier who is essentially a superior version of Akan. Either possibility would need to have extra time to explain to keep immersion, so that's probably went with a "completely different, unexplained power" route instead; it keeps the focus on Henry as Akan's powers are not related to Henry and thus aren't important to explain.

*** No. [[spoiler: Henry is the SuperPrototype, but he's ''not'' the first, he's only the first ''success''. Estelle said as much, and the footage of the different names from tests ''before'' Henry, because there wouldn't be any point (or possibility) in making new footage tailored to other cyborgs while the useable memories from Henry are still in progress. And your logic is messed up anyway, because those memories are coming ''from Henry'', the one thing those memories couldn't possibly contain is a third-person view of Henry kidnapping Estelle. If it were possible for Akan to just fabricate memories from scratch, none of the movie would be necessary.]]

** You are mistaken, my friend. First, Henry is the SuperPrototype, he is the first of his kind, it is explicitely stated in the movie. Those memories of Estelle activating the cyborgs are custom made to each, because 1) Estelle couldn't have been there to the waking up of the army as she was playing victim for a good chunk of plot and 2) They were all made after Henry experienced hia waking. The purpose of the whole act is not just to stage the kidnapping and motivate the cyborgs, they are recording Henry's fighting experience to make the army more effective killers. So yes, Akan can implant whatever he wants on the Cyborgs once he blocks his real memories. Those Cyborgs probably saw Henry himself kidnapping Estelle.
