When a character is popular, he might reappear in the sequel. When a character is very popular, a whole army of him might show in the sequel. Like the Distaff Counterpart, but without the sex requirement and in large scale. Commonly used to give the character an ensemble cast if they're to star in their own series. They don't actually need to be clones. Perhaps a group of characters that is functionally exactly, or at least very much like the original shows up. If they were the Last of His Kind, well, There Is Another (in this case, many others). Or maybe they just gain duplication powers. Or hey, maybe they did simply get cloned. In some cases they might simply be similar to the original. In other cases the only difference may be color, if the artists are really, really lazy. The Evil Twin is not an example of this per se, but it often leads to this just like the Distaff Counterpart might, because the writers may wish to kick things up another notch and make a whole army of evil twins. A note: The name of this trope is a pun on "Send in the Clowns", a song by Stephen Sondheim from the 1973 musical A Little Night Music. Appropriately, the pun has been used so often in various contexts that it's more popular than the song itself. Compare with The Chosen Many. Not to be confused with Follow the Leader, which is when the industry Sends in Clones of a popular work. Does not necessarily have to do with Clone Angst or its subtropes. May overlap with Opening a Can of Clones, Me's a Crowd, or Clone Army. Compare Fountain of Expies. Also, while this trope name is used in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (Frau Farbissina yells "Send in the CLOOOOONE!" when Mini-Me is revealed), that is not an example of this trope, since it only covers one copy.

In the 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. | |

In the StarCraft / My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic crossover The Koprulu Sector the Dominion uses cloning to fuel their rapid population growth. Since the DNA has to be taken from foals it's not uncommon for parents to sell their kids' genomes. Jet Stream for instance is a clone of Scootaloo, and the side story Born of Sin reveals that Scoots is actually a clone herself, the original Scootaloo was a stillborn colt and she was part of the parents' compensation for allowing a Super-Soldier project to use their child's genes to produce an army. | |

This was what Zander Rice of the Facility intended to do with X-23: he created another thirty-odd clones to sell to the highest bidder and rake in the cash. When Sarah turns X loose to destroy the Facility and escape, shutting down the cloning project is one of her mission objectives. The Facility tries again when Laura is captured during X-Force, but once again she escapes and makes a point of destroying their research and genetic samples (read: the arm Kimura hacked off with a chainsaw while torturing her for "being a bad girl"). All-New Wolverine #1 reveals that someone eventually finished what Rice started: The Sisters are a gang of assassins, all of whom are clones of Laura. |

Champions Online 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. | |

The Simpsons: The "Treehouse of Horror XIII" short aptly named "Send in the Clones" has Homer buy a magic hammock that clones him whenever he sits in it. He starts off using clones to do 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 lemming-style. | |

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty pits you against a large number (from three to 26, depending on difficulty level) of Metal Gear mecha, traditionally singular behemoths fought at or near the end of the game. Here, you fight them all at the same time. Inside another gigantic Metal Gear. Metal Gear Solid is also built on an in-universe example of sorts; the protagonist, antagonist, and all the regular Mook enemies in the game are clones of the legendary soldier Big Boss. |

Armored Core: Nine Breaker apparently ends with a swarm of Humongous Mecha modeled after 9-Ball, the original game's villain. It fakes out the player with a fight with nine ball, then a fight with two nine balls at once, then a advanced nine ball in a Transforming Mecha. How did they send in so many Clones? A.I. Is a Crapshoot and Nine Ball was copyed off the most deadly raven up to that time (Implyed to be the player from the first game) to enforce the AI's will. |

It's implied in the anime version of Dance in the Vampire Bund that Mina is this, being the only breedable True Blood female vampire in existence. In the more recent manga chapters we find out that not only is the head of Telomere outwardly identical to Mina Tepes, but she can exert her will over those vampires bound to said princess. It remains an open question which is the original. |

Paranoia offsets its casual lethality somewhat by the fact that characters come in "six-packs": the original and five additional clones held offstage in readiness for the PC's imminent demise. In at least one published adventure, GMs are encouraged to use this replacement feature as a need for additional replacements (since the PCs are "Outside" at this point, clone replacements must be supplied by a Ballistic Sub-Orbital Clone Replacement Mechanism). If a party member has been killed and you hear a descending whistle, duck. | |

The plot of the 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. | |

Calvin and Hobbes had a storyline where Calvin builds 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. |

Averted/Subverted in Judge Dredd in that Armand Assante is a clone of Sylvester Stallone, but doesn't actually look that much like him. He further delivers the trope name as a line, and said clones look nothing like either of them, to the point that probably the only reason they're referred to as 'clones' is so that this line can be shoehorned into the script. The comics averted it in a better way, all the Eustace Fargo clones (Dredd, Rico, etc.) look the same but all wear different mast and outfit, or are badly disfigured, as in Rico's case who was heavy cyberized. | |

In Pyramids, a 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. | |

A comical example occurs in an Season 5 episode of The Muppet Show. Butt-Monkey 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 runs on for the rest of the show, ending with a Funny Moment in the closing credits. The Beaker clones take over the closing. | |

In the "Army of One" chapter, we find out that the eponymous Doctor of The Adventures of Dr. McNinja had himself cloned during college, so that each clone could go out and spend 8 years learning a different medical or scientific discipline. Then, they would get recombined so that the "real" Doctor would possess all the accumulated skills and knowledge. It actually works, but due to the intervention of a time traveller, at least one of the clones misses the appointment. Appropriately, this clone gets captured in the present by Sky Pirates and must be rescued. Knowing the author, this potential Chekhov's Gun is likely to be mined for endless hilarity in future chapters. | |

In Hitman: Codename 47, the hitman's clone origin is made evident fairly early on. The assigned targets are all men with a strong resemblance to 47, who are still in correspondence with each other, and are shown conferring over 47's body in flashbacks. The last mission packs 47 off to his old laboratory in Romania, where his "fathers" combined their DNA to create a clone of themselves for organ harvesting purposes. The twist at the end is there's a fifth father, the director of the lab, who has already mass-produced 25 superior "Mr. 48s" to spring on you once you arrive in the final basement. Later games featured more clones, each of them tangentially related to the 47 model. In Silent Assassin, a prototype hitman named Mr. 17 is assigned to kill his brother. In Blood Money, 47 is assigned to kill two albinos, both of them flawed attempts to recreate the original Ortmeyer blueprint. The clone plot seems to be put to rest as of Absolution. |

When the Saints first meet Oleg in Saints Row: The Third, he had been strapped into a machine that extracted his DNA for the Syndicate in an attempt to clone him and create an army of seven foot tall super soldiers with superhuman strength, however the cloning process could not duplicate Oleg's high intelligence and so they were severely mentally handicapped. After Oleg joins the Saints, the Syndicate uses the clones as Brutes, special heavy assault troops that wield large, heavy weapons. | |

This was probably planned well before the character first appeared in the strip, but Schlock Mercenary'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. | |

Not surprisingly, when it's revealed in Deadpool that Mr. Sinister (see above, under Comic Books) is the Big Bad, clones start coming out of the woodwork to mess with Wade. In addition to 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 is themselves. | |

Twilight Imperium: The Yin Brotherhood, a faction from the fourth edition, is millions of clones of one scientist's unborn son. He made the first several thousand while trying to find a cure for the disease Greyfire, but he was never able to eliminate it from the clones, though he stopped it from being fatal. After his death, they continued cloning themselves, viewing those who are disfigured by the disease as "Blessed". | |

System Lord Ba'al in Stargate SG-1 builds a small army and virtually immunizes himself from being Killed Off for Real by creating several dozen clones of himself (technically) his host body, complete with cloned Goa'uld symbionts inside, who all carry the same Genetic Memory and skills as the original (they're therefore more like officers than standard mooks). Surprisingly, despite the Goa'uld species' inherently backstabbing nature, the Ba'als cooperate extremely well until the series finale, where Ba'al kills them all after upgrading himself by possessing superpowered Dark Messiah Adria. See Stargate: Continuum for the final (?) chapter of the Ba'al story. The clones kept referring to each other and to the original as "brothers", and had no problem with sacrificing themselves to allow a clone brother to carry out a task or escape, hinting that they saw each other as interchangeable because they were literally the same person with dozens of bodies. |

Fall of Starfleet, Rebirth of Friendship and My Brave Pony: Starfleet Nemesis, Deconstruction / Fix Fics of the Friendship is Magic Hate Fic My Brave Pony: Starfleet Magic, both have Twilight Sparkle (who was Killed Off for Real out of spite in the source fic) being cloned as a plot point, and in both cases, the clones share Twilight's likeness but not her personality. Although in the former case, the clones happened to be Twilight herself after an imperfect resurrection, and one assimilates the other to fix the issue. | |

Frank Herbert's Dune books: Tleilaxu Ghola tanks produce a variation of clones (cells harvested after death, and the ghola has the memories of the original, including that death).

Transformers: Prime: It is revealed that as 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. 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. |

Similarly, a 1990's Superboy story involved an evil alternate universe Superboy trying to conquer parallel worlds with an army of Doomsdays he had gathered from across the multiverse. (This was when DC first tried to bring back the multiverse with a concept called Hypertime. Hypertime proved unpopular and the writers abandoned it, so this story may now be a Canon Discontinuity.) | |

Later games featured more clones, each of them tangentially related to the 47 model. In Silent Assassin, a prototype hitman named Mr. 17 is assigned to kill his brother. In Blood Money, 47 is assigned to kill two albinos, both of them flawed attempts to recreate the original Ortmeyer blueprint. The clone plot seems to be put to rest as of Absolution. | |

Ever since Captain Marvel established the precedent back in the Golden Age, 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 about a half dozen unrelated distaff counterparts, but they've never formed an actual team, except briefly. | |

Futurama "I Dated a Robot" has an army of robo-Lucy Lius. "Rebirth" opens with the entire cast except Prof. Farnsworth being mutilated in a horrible shipwreck. Farnsworth dumps the remains into a vat of "adult stem cells harvested from perfectly normal adults whom he killed for their stem cells" and reincarnates his entire team. Later, after most of the episode was centered around Clone Angst via a robot double of Leela, it turns out that Fry wasn't really reborn, but is actually a robot double himself. In "Benderama", Bender does this with a machine that makes two smaller duplicates of himself. Those duplicates repeat the process ad infinitum creating uncountable Benders at increasingly smaller sizes. They eventually turn into a Grey Goo. |

Early on in Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the hero encounters a silver version of HK-47, the wise-cracking misanthropic robot hitman from the 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. | |

Done in the absolutely most idiotic way possible throughout Spider-Man's infamous 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, Four Lines, All Waiting 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 "Night Of A Million Jillion Spider-Clones. | |

The Horatio faction in Endless Space. 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 Imported Alien Phlebotinum 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. Similarly, the Solar Dynasty in Pandora: First Contact largely consists of the clones of the same Chinese man. They're not all identical clones, mind you, as each one has a unique personality and name. |

In Transformers: Animated, Starscream improves his fighting chances by building a small army of... himself. Considering 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). One of them was female. | |

In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "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 flat, exaggerated versions of the original. | |

Doctor Who: An interesting variation was used back in 2005. The Daleks, being the most popular villain of the original series, had not been seen for almost 17 years due to the original series being cancelled. For their return to the screen (which would possibly be the first time some children had ever seen them) in "Dalek", there is only one Dalek, which is believed to be the last one in existence and proves to be a terrifying threat all by itself. In the series finale, the Doctor encounters an army of half a million. In "The End of Time", every human being in existence (except Wilf and Donna) becomes a clone of the Master, thanks to Imported Alien Phlebotinum. It's eventually revealed that this is part of a Gambit Roulette by the Gallifreyan government to bring the Time Lords back into existence. |

In the Platypus Comix story "The Phelps Olympics", Mulberry Sharona tries to make the 2016 Summer Olympics more interesting by replacing every competitor with Michael Phelps (with help from "Disney magic" in duplicating him), and prompting viewers to guess/discover which Phelps will win each match. | |

The Soul Series 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. Divergent Character Evolution? 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). 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 Soul Calibur 2 onwards, and Assassin who technically doesn't count. Maxi is an obvious replacement for Li Long but is somewhat different. |

Battle Angel Alita has its titular character's current chassis duplicated (complete with more 'reliable' Artificial Intelligences) 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 Spear Counterpart of Alita; while the other two (Elf and Zwölf) went for the Elegant Gothic Lolita Genki Girl Creepy Twins thing. The series iconic Mad Scientistnote And a secondary protagonist 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 the Flan-Cook to the uber-evil Super Nova, who are definitely NOT adverse to duking it out between them, too. |

In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the Tachikomas are reproduced along with their loveable AI, rounding out the status quo to wrap up the season. Justified, since they can simply be backed up at any time, and reuploaded to new bodies. |

Star Wars Legends: 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 Rogue Squadron comics ended, Timothy Zahn took the character in The Hand of Thrawn and had clones of Fel stationed on various Imperial-held worlds. They turned out to be good guys. | |

Dragon Ball Z: After Cooler's 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 think they've won. | |

In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], it turns out that 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 | |

Nicholas, Edward, and Alec in The Company Novels are clones that got individually dumped in different time periods. Their individual upbringings are what cause the differences in their personalities. | |

Lord Nemesis played the tropes straight and inverted it in City of Heroes. Fake Nemeses were near-identical copies of Nemesis' Power Armor, each one capable of functioning on its own as a field commander for his personal army. Automatons were Robot Me 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. | |

Transformers: In Transformers: Animated, Starscream improves his fighting chances by building a small army of... himself. Considering 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). One of them was female. Transformers: Energon made Ravage a mass-produced horde of numerous black "Battle Ravages" and fewer, blue Command Ravages. Transformers: Prime: It is revealed that as 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. 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. |

In the Gravity Falls 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 (except for the one who got caught in a copy jam). | |
