I'd say it's Justified Extra Lives.
Context-wise, Expendable Clone seems more like Fridge than anything else.Reason

A situation where a game with a multiplayer component handwaves the fact that players 2-4 are simple Palette Swaps of player 1 by stating that they're basically clones of P1, or even making it so that all four players are clones of some other character, with bonus points if the original is Mission Control. Which would also justify how gameplay can continue when one of them "offs" themselves, as MC can simply call in another clone, give them an appropriately-colored outfit, then send them down to pick up where the old one left off.
