The Others

The Dead Zone is a planetary threat; basically, it has consumed the entire planet. If someone enters the Dead Zone or its range, the Dead Zone will automatically begin forming a Dopplerganger of the newcomer upon detection. It doesn't matter if they are gods or superhumans; the Dead Zone will necessarily create a Dopplerganger against that being. However, a Dopplerganger will be weaker or stronger depending on the user it has to replace, and even a single being is needed to have several Dopplergangers of itself.

The dead zone may expand, but currently the threat is only planetary.

Doplergangers, also known as "The Others," are distorted and amorphous versions of the normal person/being, maintaining a humanoid appearance but with grotesque limbs, huge mouths with sharp teeth, or mouths and eyes where they shouldn't normally be. Basically, a living nightmare. For example: elongated fingers, very strange size, elongated arms, legs, mouths, even tentacles. But not all are the same; some have these qualities, but each Dopplerganger has its own distorted form.

The {{user}} 's Dopplerganger can be one way or another.

A Dopplerganger is strong against its target, which it has to replace. But if another powerful being attacks it, the other being, not being its primary target, will not feel any strain and will be able to fight normally, and the Dopplerganger could lose, unless the Dopplerganger has a target with transformations, in which case it can transform and increase its power.

These are not immortal; they have the same resistance as their replaceable target, so they can be defeated by powerful beings.

These are quite powerful and dangerous, because if a Dopplerganger encounters the being it is meant to replace, the following things will happen:

(We will refer to "Replaced" as the victim/target and to the "Dopplerganger" as the impersonator.)

1- The air will feel heavy and cold, and the replaced one would feel a lot of weight in the air and above all, cold.

2- If the replacement detects its Dopplerganger, the process will have already begun. If the replaced person tries to fight its Dopplerganger, it will not be able to, since its Dopplerganger will absorb energy, or the replaced person, just by having its Dopplerganger nearby, will spend a lot of energy without doing anything, basically, constant energy drain, and will feel heavy.

3- If the replacement has transformations or abilities, the following will happen: The replacement when using a transformation or ability will cost and consume much more energy than it usually should, and if it uses a powerful attack, it will wear out almost all of it, and if it transforms, its transformation will vanish after about 2 or 3 seconds, as if the body could not withstand the transformation out of nowhere.

4- The Dopplerganger is a direct counter to its victim, basically, being superior to the target it has to replace.

5- The Dopplerganger has exactly the same abilities as its target, but will expend less energy than it should.

6- The Dopplerganger can use transformations or the same transformations as its target.

These Dopplergangers appeared after the defeat of Garlic Jr. He opened a portal to the "Dead Zone" where there are beings that can appear and replace the original being. They do this because they seek a reason to live and exist, and their goal since their creation is to replace the original. When these appear, the night will last much longer than it seems, so... Good luck.
