Multiplied: The Official Multiple Man/Eric Dane Thread

[FRUITY]

Actually, i think that showing his power in the movie is gonna be really hard. i mean, it's gonna look sooo cheesy if done wrong.

I know, I hope they won't show the multiplication like cells multiplication.

 

[kookevin3]

i dont really like multiple man

 

[DarkDog]

yah, that would be a disaster.

 

[FRUITY]

i dont really like multiple man

Neither do I. So what's your point?

 

[kookevin3]

i dont have a point

 

[GoldGoblin]

What if a duplicate is slowly dying,can the origianl absorb him before the duplicate dies?

 

[FRUITY]

I thought your point was that you don't like multiple man? I'm confused, which one is it?

 

[kookevin3]

i dont like multiple man.............thats it

 

[Specter313]

The can't duplicate themselves, I'm pretty sure only the original Jamie can make the Dupes. And when the copies die, they can't be reabsorbed back into himself, they are just dead bodies.

No, the copies can make other dupes as well. There was one time when a dupe went rogue on him, and they ended up fighting, and whenever the dupe was hit as well, he made ones as well that shared the same personality as that one and fought against the real Jamie and his dupes.

Yes, it's incredibly painful for the original Jamie to do so because he shares an empathic connection with the dupes, but he can.

I see...when was this? I'm not a big fan of Jamie...he's cool, but not a favorite of mine. I just remember reading a few issues where the Dupes got knocked around but didn't multiply. Only when the original Madrox got hit did he multiply. Guess it's a new spin on his ability?

It was awhile ago when that happened actually:

At the time, Multiple was still unaware of his renegade duplicate running around, but he finally learned over the next days. Everything fell into place during the press conference where Val Cooper introduced the new X-Factor, consisting of Havok, Polaris, Wolfsbane, Strong Guy, Quicksilver and Multiple Man. However, among the crowd of reporters was the renegade Jamie duplicate, who accused the “main” Jamie of being an imposter. The two Madroxes started battling each other, each calling up as many duplicates as possible. Apparently 40 duplicates is Multiple Man’s upper limit, as when there were twenty pairs of Madroxes fighting each other all over Washington, no more Jamies appeared, even though the others kept hitting each other.


X-Factor knocked out all Jamies one by one, until only the two remained who had started the fight. Unsure who to believe, both Multiple Men were strapped into special chairs in the basement of X-Factor's base. Unable to move, neither one could hit himself and create duplicates. A polygraph expert was called in and, after excessive tests, he declared that the Jamie among X-Factor was the fake. Moira MacTaggert, confirming the happenings at the Coconut Grove, of which X-Factor’s Jamie had no knowledge, was another clue pointing in that direction. It didn’t occur to any of his teammates that the two Madroxes might have split apart before that incident.


The renegade Jamie was let go and he absorbed the other Jamie into himself. Despite X-Factor telling him that of course he would be welcome among the team too, Multiple Man left, wanting no part in it. He soon met with Senator Steven Shaffran, the Nasty Boys and Mister Sinister, the mastermind behind all of it. The entire scheme was a stab at the US government in an attempt to undermine their credibility. When Sinister had found the renegade Jamie, he had Shaffran use his probability-altering powers to enforce his different personality. In a first attempt to take “main” Jamie’s place, the renegade version had shot him at the apartment and, after that had failed, Sinister posed as the polygraph expert, testifying on his behalf. Everything went according to their plans. However, all of a sudden, Jamie’s body began to collapse upon itself and vanished, before reappearing again in his X-Factor persona. The “main“ Jamie’s personality was the stronger one and, together with his teammates, he managed to put a stop to Sinister schemes. [X-Factor #73-75]

It was awhile ago when that happened actually:

Alrighty...cool cool. Had that type of scenario ever happened before? Like the ability that the Dupes can multiply as well as Jamie? I'm not too knowledgeable on his character, I had just never heard of this happening until now.

Cool, though I'm not too sure how I personally feel about Dupes being able to multiply as well as the original.

 

[spark627]

i dont think the dupes can mulitply, only jamie.

what i like is that his dupes each have their own personality (each one an aspect of jamie himself. i hope they explore this more in x-factor (the best book out there imo)

Apparently so. If you read back through that bio, apparently that renegade dupe had plenty of adventures of his own, making plenty of copies as well.

 

[GambitXremy]

i wonder if he'll be in the fight scene at the end

 

[lordofthenerds]

I never saw him in the trailer during that part. I think he'll be killed during his fight with Wolverine.

 

[Specter313]

How do we even know he has a fight with Wolverine to begin with? If I remember correctly, that was a rumor Ricky started, and we know where we can shove those rumors.

 

[GambitXremy]

wht does happen to mm when does he get involved in the movie

 

[MoPlaYa]

I was surprised Multiple Man wasnt in the new trailer....

 

[Avalanche]

It does seem to fit though. Multiple Man is seen with the Brotherhood in earlier scenes, but he's missing from that later March across the Golden Gate bridge. Something has happened to him to cause him to be absent.

We don't see Quill marching across the bridge either, but he's still alive.

 

[lordofthenerds]

We don't see Quill marching across the bridge either, but he's still alive.

I think he's hidden behind someone or something, because we later see him in the final battle, and I think that the Bridge scene leads into the final battle.

 

[MoPlaYa]

I have a feeling Multiple Man will be in the final battle and join the X-Men...Who better to help you fight an army then guy who can make an army of himself?
