Vegapunk literally died however he had "clones". Vegapunk was in MADS, they created clone technology. Is it really bad writing for the smartest man in the world, who had clones all throughout his debut arc to have made a perfect clone of himself?
Ok then defend your position. Because it’s not good just because you like it either. I think it’s bad because it retroactively makes Egghead worse by taking away any sense of sacrifice from the arc and series as a whole, and is completely unnecessary given how the other Satellites survived
