Kinetic Duplication
Jamie Madrox creates an identical physical living duplicate of himself upon any physical impact, possibly via extradimensional mass acquisition similar to the process used by Ant-Man or the Hulk. This process is spontaneous and cannot be prevented by Madrox. Although he can create multiple duplicates, and the duplicates themselves can also replicate, each is only able to create one duplicate at a time; he has been seen to produce around forty duplicates before no more would be created. The duplicates think, feel, and act independently, though usually guided by the original. Each tends to manifest one aspect of Madrox's personality, which increases in strength with lengthier separation from the original; these traits have recently become more extreme. Madrox is telepathically and empathetically linked to his duplicates, suffering severe, potentially fatal, trauma if one dies. If Madrox himself were killed, it is not known whether any existing duplicates would continue to function independently; it is said in theory, that if the original Madrox was killed, that one of his active dupes is capable of taking over as the new original and will assume the dominant abilities and collective personality that the original Madrox had. It is virtually impossible to distinguish the original from the duplicates.
Duplication Absorption
The original Madrox can absorb them back into himself at will, at the same time absorbing the memories, skills and experiences of the duplicate.
Duplication Experience Transference
Madrox merges back, he retains memories, knowledge, skills, and experiences of the dupe.
Duplication Healing
He also uses merging as a form of healing - Originally, uninjured Madri "shared" the damage when they reemerged. Now, however, the core Madrox can reabsorb injured or even near-dead dupes without taking on any of their physical injuries at all.
