History Main / SendInTheClones

* In the canonical ending of ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed'' the protagonist dies at the end. The Sequel brings him back via cloning and flash-imprinting the memories of the original. Except he turns out mentally unstable and Darth Vader reveals that many more failed attempts have come before him only to meet their end. The clone escapes and later during return to the cloning factory finds hundreds more copies of himself, whom he is forced to slaughter.

* Luakels, from ''Script/AHDotComTheSeries''. Started out as a forum gag whereby Luakel would claim that whenever he was apparently killed it would always turn out to be 'just another Luakel clone' (as with Dr Doom's Doombots). This was incorporated into the Series, with Luakel Clones being encountered long before a regular "prime" Luakel joined the ship's crew.

* One of the Tree House of Horror specials from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had Homer buy a magic hammock that cloned him whenever he sat in it. He starts off using clones for doing chores for him, but once one of them murders Ned Flanders, Homer has to get rid of it. He abandons the clones (numbering about 15) and the hammock in a back country road, and then the clones proceed to use it to make more and more clones. When this starts being a problem, they fly giant donuts from helicopters and all the clones fall into a canyon lemmings style. The short itself was called [[NameDrop Send in the Clones.]]

* The AlternateUniverse CLAMP character counterparts in ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' fit the trope, featuring popular characters from their past series. It's more prevalent in the anime which features ''six'' different versions of [[YaoiGuys Toya and Yukito]] and almost as many of [[Manga/{{X1999}} Sorata and Arashi]]. [[BigBad Fei Wang Reed's]] clones aren't an example but he ''does'' send a lot of them out.

* ''Seto Kaiba'' has 3 [[{{Expy}} counterparts]] in Kaiser Ryo, Manjyome and Edo Phoenix on ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''. Looks like the PowersThatBe agreed with [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries LittleKuriboh]], at least on the point that Kaiba is [[EnsembleDarkhorse the only reason people watch]] ''Anime/YuGiOh''.

** The series iconic MadScientist[[note]]And a secondary protagonist[[/note]] Desty Nova ''explodes'' in number in the Last Order, with all flavors and variations imaginable. It goes from the portable virtual reality Nova Pod through somewhat more mundane Nova X and Nova [[TrademarkFavoriteFood the Flan-Cook]] to the uber-evil Super Nova, who are definitely NOT adverse to duking it out between them too.

* In ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'', the Tachikomas are reproduced along with their loveable AI, rounding out the [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo]] to wrap up the season.
** Justified, since they can simply be backed up at any time, and reuploaded to new bodies.
* It's implied in the anime version of ''Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund'' that [[spoiler:Mina is this, being [[LastOfHisKind the only breedable True Blood female vampire in existence]].]]
** In the more recent manga chapters we find out that [[spoiler: not only is the [[TheChessmaster head of Telomere]] [[EvilTwin outwardly identical]] to Mina Tepes, but she can [[VampireMonarch exert her will over those vampires bound to said princess]]. It remains an open question which is the original]].
* [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex Misaka Mikoto]] takes this UpToEleven. Actual army of clones, another loli-clone, yet another clone who is the first, original clone [[spoiler: and an upgraded clone army.]], plus a similar-looking mom, if that counts. Because getting her own SpinOff manga wasn't enough for her fans, it seems.
* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': After Cooler's [[HurlItIntoTheSun defeat]] in Movie 5, the last remaining scrap of him is found and assimilated by the "Big Gete Star" in Movie 6. He builds a remote-controlled, self-repairing new body that Goku and Vegeta have to work together to defeat...and a few hundred or so more for when they [[HopeSpot think they've won.]]
* In a ''[[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} Slayers Book Of Spells]]'' episode concerning chimeras and copies (magical clones), Naga the White Serpent was cloned ten times. Cue eleven Nagas performing her signature NoblewomansLaugh.

** The SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} for that comic has to be the latest group of Wolverines in a building, when suddenly they hear an approaching sound - a chorus of hundreds of "Bub!"s.

* Marvel's new [[WolverinePublicity poster boy]], ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, has recently been joined by [[ComicBook/MarvelZombies Headpool]], [[OppositeSexClone Lady Deadpool]], [[SpinoffBabies Kid Deadpool]] and [[TeamPet Deadpool Dog]] in the series ''Deadpool Corps''. Thing is, [[PlayedForLaughs it's meant to be funny]], so that's okay.
* ComicBook/TheAuthority opens with the [[EvilGenius evil mastermind]] mass producing ''thousands'' of Superman clones for terrorist attacks.
* Done in the absolutely most idiotic way possible throughout ComicBook/SpiderMan's infamous [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga Clone Saga]]. Ben Reilly was one good clone. Other than that, the Jackal spent the entire Saga siccing Peter Parker clones on Spider-Man to dick with him and make his life hell for moronic reasons that were immediately retconned into nonsensicality. Hit the peak of absurdity in the breakneck, FourLinesAllWaiting ''Maximum Clonage'', which involved a multi-sided battle involving just about every clone of Peter Parker in existence, plus a Gwen Stacy clone, plus the Jackal, who was a clone. There's no surprise why a reviewer once dubbed ''Maximum Clonage'' "[[http://www.toplessrobot.com/2008/11/the_13_dumbest_spiderman_storiesjust_from_the_clon.php?page=4 Night Of A Million Jillion Spider-Clones.]]
* Ever since [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] established the precedent back in the GoldenAge, truly iconic superheroes have tended to accrue "families" of similarly-themed heroes. The Marvel family had Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Junior, Uncle Marvel, the Lieutenant Marvels, and Mr. Tawky Tawny. Superman has Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto (and Beppo and Comet, back in the Silver Age). Batman has all the Robins and Batgirls, as well as Alfred. Thor at one point commanded a team of expies called the Godpack, as well as having expies in Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike, Thor Girl, and Red Norvell. The Hulk has recently accrued a large family, with She-Hulk, A-Bomb, Red Hulk, Red She-Hulk, Skaar, and Lyra. Spider-Man is odd in having had [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman about a half dozen unrelated distaff counterparts,]] but they've never formed an actual team, except briefly.

* In ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMegaseries'', the Machination captures Sunstreaker and uses him as the template for an army of mass-produced Transformers operated by human cyborgs called Headmasters.

* Frank Herbert's ''Franchise/{{Dune}}'' books: [[spoiler: Duncan Idaho. In a series that spans ten thousand years, Duncan Idaho is the only character to survive all six books, even though he dies in the first]].

* In ''Pyramids'', a Literature/{{Discworld}} tomb-designer's two sons (Ptaclusp [=IIa=] and Ptaclusp [=IIb=], which could be foreshadowing) take advantage of the time-loops that form around the Great Pyramid when it's under construction. Before the week is out, both the brothers and the hired laborers have looped themselves so many times that a painter claims he's owed two years' pay for Tuesday, and a mason beats himself up for sleeping with his wife.
* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'': [[http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/367889.html#cutid1 Baron Fel]] was introduced as the Empire's best pilot since Vader died. He compared himself to Luke Skywalker, and not entirely without cause - both of them were farmboys who loved to fly, both of them found unexpected familiar ties to the other side. When the [[Literature/XWingSeries Rogue Squadron]] comics ended, Creator/TimothyZahn took the character in the Literature/HandOfThrawn duology and had clones of Fel stationed on various Imperial-held worlds. They turned out to be good guys.
* In ''Literature/BraveNewWorld'' the two lower castes, Delta and Epsilon, consist of groups of humans basically mass produced for more menial tasks. It's not uncommon to get a hundred 'twins' out of one egg and one sperm to fill a factory's worker needs.

* A comical example occurs in an season five episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow''. ButtMonkey Assistant Beaker accidentally blinds himself on a "copy" machine and gets sucked inside it. When Dr. Bunsen Honeydew later turns it on, out pop ''at least eight'' "copies" of Beaker. After delivering the obvious {{pun}} of telling Beaker "you're beside yourself," he calls for help and runs off, with the Beakers chasing him. The gag [[RunningGag runs on]] for the rest of the show, ending with a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} in the closing credits. [[spoiler:The Beaker clones take over the closing.]]

* The [[PaletteSwap rainbow]] ninjas of ''Franchise/MortalKombat''.
* ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'' has an entire instance dedicated to this trope: Teleios' Tower. Home of a mad scientist who fancies himself the ultimate human in the world, the tower is completely filled with clones of himself of various qualities and alterations. They've even formed a functioning society, and the clones get regular "patches" to their genetic code, for stuff like stronger knees and more taste buds.

* In the canonical ending of ''VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed'' the protagonist dies at the end. The Sequel brings him back via cloning and flash-imprinting the memories of the original. Except he turns out mentally unstable and Darth Vader reveals that many more failed attempts have come before him only to meet their end. The clone escapes and later during return to the cloning factory finds hundreds more copies of himself, whom he is forced to slaughter.
* Early on in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', the hero encounters a silver version of HK-47, the wise-cracking misanthropic robot hitman from the [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic first game]] (and it is quickly revealed there are more). The genuine article shows up later, and once he's restored to full working condition, an investigation into where all the knock-offs (the HK-50s) came from ensues. A major mission cut from the final game involved going to the HK-50 ''factory'' to find out the truth behind the whole ordeal.
* The various Kyo clones from the NESTS saga of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''.
* In ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'', this is the superpower of the supervillain Deja Vu, as well as the Japanese general Rising Sun in the ''Freedom Force vs the Third Reich'' expansion pack.

* The secret characters in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak'' draw their animations and voice samples from the eight "main" characters, although their various statistics don't always equally match up to their inspirations.
* At the end of ''VideoGame/HitmanCodename47'', 47, who is a clone himself, has to kill a pack of other upgraded clones before taking out their creator.
* Hope you like Genesis in ''VideoGame/CrisisCore''. Because Zack will be fighting him A LOT. There is masked mook Genesis clones, normal Genesis clones, white haired Genesis clones, clown like Genesis clones... the list just goes on.
* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', it turns out that [[spoiler: Xehanort's plan revolves around this, his Nobody first assembling 12 other Nobodies to implant pieces of his Heart into them to create the 13 darknesses needed to recreate the X-Blade. Then, when in turns out that only two members were eligible for that (Saïx and Xigbar), he instead had his Heartless counterpart Ansem go back in time to send his Younger self to assemble all versions of himself throughout time, effectively making most, if not almost all of the 13 darknesses being an incarnation of Xehanort, with his plot in the game being to turn Sora into one of them]]
* Lord Nemesis played the tropes straight and inverted it in ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes''. Fake Nemeses were near-identical copies of Nemesis' PowerArmor, each one capable of functioning on its own as a field commander for his personal army. Automatons were RobotMe replicas of just about everyone else, from civilians to signature heroes (and sometimes other villains). Encountering one of the player character was a common occurrence in missions involving Nemesis.
* The Horatio faction in ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace''. Once upon a time, there was a narcissistic trillionaire asshole named Horatio who got fed up of being made fun of for his weird elongated head and left Imperial space for an isolated planet on the fringe to set up shop. There, he found some ImportedAlienPhlebotinum and decided to clone an entire society of himself to serve his needs. He loved it so much he thought that the entire universe could do with being cleansed of life, replaced with billions and billions of clones of the most beautiful creature to have ever existed: wonderful, gorgeous Horatio. The other factions have had to deal with his... their shit ever since.
* Not surprisingly, when it's revealed in ''VideoGame/{{Deadpool}}'' that Mr. Sinister (see above, under Comic Books) is the BigBad, clones start coming out of the woodwork to mess with Wade. In addition to [[ActuallyADoombot making low-powered duplicates to distract 'Pool]], plus an excuse for some boss rematches, several mooks are also imperfect copies of members of the X-Men - for example, there are clones of Gambit, but the only thing they can cause to explode [[ActionBomb is themselves]].

* This was probably planned well before the character first appeared in the strip, but ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'''s Gav--a blue-haired physicist who cryogenically froze himself in the 21st Century to find out what the future would be like--saves his life (sort of) by cloning several million of himself just before the original gets killed. One of the major human demographics in the setting is now blue-haired physicists from the 21st Century.
* In the ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' story "Professor Madblood and the Doppelganger Gambit", Madblood's moon base has biometric security which mean that the only way Dave can infiltrate it is to transform himself into a copy of Madblood. Naturally, when he reaches the base, he discovers that it's full of battle-robot duplicates of Madblood.

* Fighter in Webcomic/EightBitTheater puts himself on multiple teams, once even multiple times, appearing in multiple places at once, [[AchievementsInIgnorance because he didn't know he couldn't]].

* From the ''WebAnimation/PimpLando'' series: The basic plot of "Multipimpcity", though none of the clones have the same personality as the original.
* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', when Karamazov invades the palace, Descius sends against him his ministers, who turn out to be his lookalikes.

* An episode ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' has the titular mice meeting hundreds of hundreds of themselves, but caused by time travel, not cloning.
** There was also a time that Pinky and Brain duplicated themselves for the sake of having a dance group. Sadly, it was AllJustADream.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', Starscream improves his fighting chances by building a small army of... himself. Considering [[TheStarscream his]] dominant character trait, this might not be wise. The first was basically just an army of robot duplicates. The other was the a small group that each took on a different trait of his personality (and had a different paint scheme that looked like other G1 Seekers). [[OppositeSexClone One of them was female.]]
** ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'' made Ravage a mass-produced horde of numerous black "Battle Ravages" and fewer, [[PaletteSwap blue]] Command Ravages.
** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'':
*** It is revealed that as [[spoiler:the Earth formed around Unicron, he can form small(er)-scale copies of himself from the rocks]]. And he can make several of them- it's creepy at the very least.
*** [[spoiler:[[RecycledScript And then there is Starscream making clones of himself to attack Megatron, similar to Animated]]. They almost succeed, but one gets killed by Bulkhead while three more get scrapped by Megatron due to outside interference. Fortunately, he's well aware of how much they can be trusted, and kills the fifth and last one that returns knowing it would try to kill him and bring his corpse back to Megatron to be reinstated amongst the ranks]].

* One of the Tree House of Horror specials from ''TheSimpsons'' had Homer buy a magic hammock that cloned him whenever he sat in it. He starts off using clones for doing chores for him, but once one of them murders Ned Flanders, Homer has to get rid of it. He abandons the clones (numbering about 15) and the hammock in a back country road, and then the clones proceed to use it to make more and more clones. When this starts being a problem, they fly giant donuts from helicopters and all the clones fall into a canyon lemmings style. The short itself was called [[NameDrop Send in the Clones.]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode, "Double Dipper", Dipper finds that Grunkle Stan's copier can make human clones. Dipper uses it on himself in an overly complicated attempt to impress Wendy at a dance. The Dipper clones all have a slightly lighter hue, all have numbers drawn on their cap and can be destroyed with water; other than that, there's absolutely no difference between the Dippers both mentally and physically [[CloneDegeneration (except for the one who got caught in a copy jam)]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies "Too Many Pinkie Pies",]] Pinkie clones herself with a legendary Mirror Pool in order to spend maximum hanging out time with her friends. All the clones look identical to the original Pinkie, but behave like [[{{Flanderization}} flat, exaggerated versions of the original]].

* The plot of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Vampirina}}'' episode "Mirror Mirror" has Vee create a clone of herself using a magic mirror so that she can be in two places at one. In an interesting take on this plot, none of the clones can talk. Not only that, more clones are accidentally created ''after'' Vee got through her day, not during it.

A note: The name of this trope is a pun on "Send in the Clowns", a song by Music/StephenSondheim from the 1973 musical ''Theatre/ALittleNightMusic''. Appropriately, the pun has been used so often in various contexts that it's [[WeirdAlEffect more popular than the song itself.]] Compare with TheChosenMany.

* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' had a storyline where Calvin builds [[CardboardBoxTechnology a duplicator]] with the intention of having his clone do his chores for him. He is surprised to find out that his clone, and the subsequent clones he makes, are each as much of a jerk as he is.
** A similar ploy to travel back in time and get earlier versions of himself to do his homework also ends in failure.
*** In a later storyline, Calvin modified the duplicator so the clone would only be of his good side (in Calvin's words, "a total sap" who lives to make everyone's life easier). Unfortunately, the clone liked Susie far too much for the original Calvin's liking, and spontaneously disappears in the ensuing fight due to the "moral compromise spectral release phantasmatron" reverting the good clone back to an abstraction. According to Hobbes, Calvin might be the only person whose ''good'' side is prone to acting bad. On the other hand, being incorporeal also made it easier for the real Calvin to ignore him.

** The series iconic MadScientist[[note]]And a secondary protagonist[[/note]] Desty Nova ''explodes'' in number in the Last Order, with all flavors and variations imaginable. It goes from the portable virtual reality Nova Pod through somewhat more mundane Nova X and Nova [[TrademarkFavoriteFood the Flan-Cook]] to the uber-evil FunnyAfro Super Nova, who are definitely NOT adverse to duking it out between them too.

* ''Armored Core: Nine Breaker'' apparently ends with a swarm of HumongousMecha modeled after 9-Ball, the original game's villain.

** Not really true. Hwang played like Mitsurugi in the Korean arcade version of Soul Edge, in which he was a replacement for him with the same moves (as later happened with Arthur). This was due to samurai being banned in Korea. However for the home version his moves are more unique. Now Yunsung is the real clone from SC2 onwards, and Assassin who technically doesn't count. Maxi is an obvious replacement for Li Long but is somewhat different.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Leader uses a strand of the Hulk's hair to create a batch of {{Cyborg}} clones known as the "Gamma Warriors."

* ''Manga/{{GUNNM}}'' (''Battle Angel Alita'') has its titular character's current chassis duplicated (complete with more 'reliable' {{Artificial Intelligence}}s) by the shady agency that supervises her around the end of the comic. In the sequel ''Battle Angel Alita: Last Order'' three 'clones' survive to be regular characters. One of them, Sechs, rebuilt herself into a SpearCounterpart of Alita; while the other two (Elf and Zwölf) went for the ElegantGothicLolita GenkiGirl CreepyTwins thing.

Not to be confused with FollowTheLeader, which is when the industry Sends in Clones of a popular work. Does not necessarily have to do with CloningBlues or its subtropes.

* The VideoGame/SoulSeries ''loves'' its clones; most secret characters borrow almost all of their moves from another fighter. For instance, in his first appearance, Hwang played almost exactly like Mitsurugi, with some of Seung Mina's moves thrown in. In the second game, he no longer played like Mitsurugi. DivergentCharacterEvolution? No, now he played like Xianghua, again with some of Mina's moves. Other copycats (when used as secret characters) include Rock (Astaroth), Mina herself (Kilik), Lizardman (Sophitia) and Siegfried (Nightmare, although only in the first ''Soul Calibur'').
