Editing Echidna Clones (section)

==History==
===Background===
There was an event involving the [[The Travelers|Travelers]] in [[New York]] that led to the disappearance of forty individuals. This was likely one of the incidents in which Noelle created clones.<ref>“I don’t know.  ''Could'' they?  Yes.  And that possibility is too dangerous, especially given what Regent can do.  The Undersiders do not pull their punches.  The Travelers, oddly enough, are more moderate, but they do have sixteen kills under their belt, due in large part to the sheer power at their disposal.”<br/><br/>“Let’s not forget the incident in New York,” Legend said.  “Forty individuals disappeared in one night.  Investigation confirmed the Travelers were occupying a nearby location.  Chances are good that they were involved.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/09/01/interlude-13/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 13]]</ref><ref>Tattletale spoke up, “The Travelers have two other members who don’t see much action.  Oliver handles their day-to-day stuff.  Finds and prepares places for them to settle down, gets food, looks after Noelle.  Noelle…”<br/><br/>“New York,” Miss Militia interrupted.  “She’s the one that’s responsible for the disappearance of those forty people?”<br/><br/>“I wouldn’t be surprised,” Tattletale said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/queen-18-3/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.3]]</ref> 

In the third incident involving clones, three clones of [[Perdition]] were created after he touched Noelle, making them the third, fourth, and fifth clones ever created by Noelle.<ref>They all stared at the bodies.  This would be the third incident.  Or incidents three through five, if he wanted to count it that way. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/migration-17-8/ Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.8]]</ref> The clones went on a rampage in [[Boston]], killing three civilians and injuring more until they were confronted by the Travelers and subsequently put down.<ref>[[Migration 17.8]]</ref> Krouse mentioned a prior incident the previous fall that had even worse results than the third. This may or may not have been the New York incident.<ref>“Fuck,” Krouse said.  “At least two dead at the hands of the one I stopped.  Not as bad as last fall.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/migration-17-8/ Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.8]]</ref>

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
After Echidna broke loose following the death of [[Coil]], Echidna managed to capture [[Vista]] and create several clones of her. She would go on to hunt for capes, capturing and cloning [[Über]], [[Leet]], and [[Circus]].<ref>[[Queen 18.4]]</ref> When the Travelers, [[Undersiders]], and [[Chicago#The_Wards|Chicago Wards]] were fighting against Echidna, Trickster turned on the heroes and began actively facilitating the capture of capes by Echidna, allowing even more parahuman clones to be created. Numerous clones of many types were created after the [[battle against Echidna]] began in earnest.

The climax of the battle came when [[Ignis Fatuus]] and [[Apocrypha]], clones of [[Eidolon]] and [[Alexandria]] respectively, were created. Ignis Fatuus engaged and killed [[Myrddin]], and then went on to reveal the secret of [[Cauldron]] and its association with the [[Triumvirate]] and the [[PRT]]. This was a devastating blow to morale, but after [[Skitter]] revitalized the gathered capes with a display of force, they were able to destroy both Ignis Fatuus and the two Apocryphas.<ref name="death">“Hit the Eidolon-Clone,” I spoke to Miss Militia through my bugs, hurrying to step away from Noelle’s bisected form.  “Hit him hard.”<br><br>The Eidolon-clone moved one arm in our direction, only to stop short.  A thread that had draped his arm was now a rigid barrier, connected to the same thread that I’d positioned between Noelle and I.  He tried to retreat, only to find the thread I’d circled around his neck holding him firm.<br><br>He started to flicker, no doubt to escape.  One arm free.  Then another.<br><br>Miss Militia hefted her rocket launcher.  Our Eidolon was already flying to Legend’s rescue as she pulled the trigger.  The Eidolon-clone wasn’t quite free when the warhead hit home.  For extra measure the explosion drove him against the threads that had draped his body.<br><br>If I’d been good at the punchlines, I might have thrown one out there.  The best I could come up with was, Flicker that. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/scourge-19-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.6]]</ref><ref>A series of neon green concentric circles exploded outward from a point in the sky above, rippling out to disappear over each horizon.  Eidolon had engaged one Alexandria-clone, and whatever he’d done seemed to have finished her off.  One left.<br />[...]<br />Another circle exploded across the sky.  Alexandria-clone-two was down.  Legend and Eidolon descended in Echidna’s direction, keeping a healthier distance.<br><br>Whatever Eidolon had been hitting the clones with, considering the area it was covering and the fact that it was apparently taking Alexandria out of action, it suggested a kind of attack that couldn’t be used near the ground, because it might have leveled whole sections of the city. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/scourge-19-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.6]]</ref>

With Echidna's subsequent death, the only source of Echidna clones was destroyed. It can be assumed that the rest of the Echidna clones were killed during or after the battle against Echidna.
