History Recap / AtopTheFourthWallTheCloneSaga

* SanitySlippage: Regaining his memories and realizing he was now human has basically destroyed what little remained of Mechakara's sanity, given his brief foray into the KnifeNut trope.

** TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Mirrorkara sees one to both ''Theatre/{{Camelot}}'' and Creator/JuddWinick's ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Outsiders]]'' run in Linkara's mocking of Mirrorkara's plan: the former by quoting, "Revenge, the most worthless of causes," and the latter with an homage to a similar line in Winick's first arc, where Lex Luthor mocks the Joker's FoeYay-obsession with Batman, telling Mirrorkara he'll never take him to the prom.[[invoked]]

* SeriesContinuityError: Part of the premise behind this arc is that Linkara has no recollection of making a clone of [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], so that when Harvey brings it up, he has to watch the review again and questions why his memories are missing, leading to TheReveal that Linksano erased his memories shortly after making the clone. Problem is, during the ComicBook/UltimateIronMan #1-2 review, Linkara demonstrated he ''did'' remember cloning Spoony, as when Stane went to put a device on a young Tony's head, he jokes Stane is probably trying to clone an internet reviewer "based on [his] experience", with a shot of the Spoony clone being shown.

*** Earlier in the same episode, Linksano and Linkara's talk is interrupted by the former's computer finding something. He looks over the date only to react in horror. It turns out his computer has revealed that the clone is actually Mechakara, now made human thanks to the Plot Hole.

After finishing a review, a duplicate of [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] suddenly shows up in his house with no memory of how he even got there. Eventually Linksano reveals he'd made a clone of Linkara during his evil days but had forgotten about the project after switching sides. However the clone didn't break out on its own- ''someone'' set him free, and now the crew must figure out who and why.

* NonindicativeName: The title of the arc is ultimately misleading, as very little of it has to do with an ''actual'' clone. The copy of Linkara met at the beginning is established by Linksano to ''not'' be a clone after he scanned him, and is later revealed to be Mechakara having CameBackWrong, Mechakara originally being a mirror counterpart to ''Pollo'' wearing Linkara's skin. The true antagonist of the arc is Mirrorkara, and while he's an EvilCounterpart to Linkara, he's not a clone either. The only "clone" mentioned is the one Linksano is revealed to have made of Linkara when they first met and had been stolen, but even ''that'' is a RedHerring as Mirrorkara stole and killed it while testing his AgonyBeam.

** In a way, revisiting the "Smoke and '''Mirrors'''" arc of ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga'', given Mirrorkara was the BigBad.

* SeriesContinuityError: Part of the premise behind this arc is that Linkara has no recollection of making a clone of [[WebOriginal/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], so that when Harvey brings it up, he has to watch the review again and questions why his memories are missing, leading to TheReveal that Linksano erased his memories shortly after making the clone. Problem is, during the ComicBook/UltimateIronMan #1-2 review, Linkara demonstrated he ''did'' remember cloning Spoony, as when Stane went to put a device on a young Tony's head, he jokes Stane is probably trying to clone an internet reviewer "based on [his] experience", with a shot of the Spoony clone being shown.

* KickTheDog: After deciding to bring the Anniversary Movie posters into his rant against Linkara, Mirrorkara notices his grimace and can't help but gleefully mention he [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment touched a nerve]], and how Linkara clearly didn't like "[[RealLifeWritesThePlot that whole affair]]".

** A more [[RealLifeWritesThePlot unfortunate]] one occurs during the "Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth" review, when it's all but stated that [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment a certain real life ordeal]] happened ''in-universe''.[[invoked]]

** One immediate clue [[RewatchBonus in hindsight]] about the clone's identity? Pollo being attacked.

** ''Everyone'' comes when Linkara calls Nimue to help fight Mirrorkara. Pollo's back online, Jaeris holds Mirrorkara at gunpoint, and 90's Kid, Harvey, and Linksano all warp in ready to kick ass.

** In "Ravage 2099 #2", 90s Kid makes another trip into the future. While what he learned ''this'' time wasn't to the same extent as the Entity possessing Linkara, what he does tell him has implications involved. One such thing is, "Try to go easy on him, he is ''truly'' sorry about it." "He" is Linksano, "it" is wiping Linkara's memory and then cloning him.

** At the end of "Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash: The Nightmare Warriors", after going on a rant about how he has no actual life of his own, Copy-Kara joyously remembers who he is... then starts screaming in horror.
--->'''Copy-Kara:''' I remember... I REMEMBER! [[OhCrap I remember...]] [[FreakOut I remember...]] [[GoMadFromTheRevelation I REMEMBER!]]

** The video that Copy-Kara was watching was the Power Rangers Zeo #1 review, where Mechakara fought Linkara directly a second time.

--->'''Mirrorkara:''' ''I'm'' in pain seeing ''you'' needing (gestures towards the Anniversary Movie posters) ''other people'' to prop you up! (Linkara [[TooSoon noticeably grimaces]]) ...oh, ''that'' touched a nerve, didn't it? Yes, ''that'' whole affair was really not fun for you, was it?

*** The first is "It didn't recreate him correctly", [[spoiler:this one likely being in reference to how Mechakara CameBackWrong, the Plot Hole making him human.]]
*** The second is "the wizard lied"
*** The third is "scales can be manipulated", [[spoiler:this one likely in reference to Eliza being manipulated into freeing a malevolent ghost around Christmas.]]
*** The last is "There were people who supported his quest. They're not happy". [[spoiler:During the Contest of Champions, the Blue Knight of Titan warns Linkara that Vyce had followers who believed in what he was doing, and that now that Linkara's killed Vyce, they'll go after him.]]

* RedHerring: The clone the title is named after. We're lead to believe that the Linkara that appears before the main one is the clone and that he escaped from Linksano's lab, supported by the fact that one of the tubes in there has a hole in it. However, we find out that said clone was killed offscreen by Mirrorkara and the one we see is Mechakara, whom Mirrorkara used for his plans.
