This is one of the worst most tired plots there is, the evil twin, evil clone, etc.
But a few of them manage to succeed and provide a memorable character while others are not only bad, they're downright insulting.
So, which are in your opinion the best and worst evil clones? Please explain your choices
For me there are several, but just to start the discussion.
Best: Goku Black (Dragon Ball Super)
This series had already failed at creating an evil version of Goku with the shittastic Turles.
Goku Black however succeeds in making you feel how in deep shit the world would be if Goku turned truly evil. He is a villain who took over Goku's body and the first thing he does with it is murder Goku's wife and son.
His personality is a creepy calm version of Goku with all his arrogance and the best part is that he never does the tired "replacing the character and then revealing himself" twist, to him Goku's body is just a tool to achieve his goals.
The character is so well done that I think its a shame he was not the final boss of the saga.
Worst: Z-ONE (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's)
Z-One comes from the far future and it's initially presentes as an old future versión of Yusei Fudo who realized his ideals were wrong.
Sounds cliché right?
Wrong, they somehow make it worse by having the character NOT be Yusei Fudo, instead he is just a scientist who was a giant Yusei Fanboy and had plastic surgery to look like him. He wanted people to come together under the symbol of Yusei Fudo, a man who died a Hero in his world's history. So he lies to the people and tell them he is Yusei.
He obviously failed, so he got sad and mad and decided to travel back in time and destroy the real Yusei for being wrong. Except the real Yusei succeeded in his life and he knew this!
Also a honorable mention to Luuke Skywalker as worst.
