That's like me cloning Punisher's dad in his prime as a WWII soldier and placing him in the ring against Bruce Wayne's guard dog.
How could that possibly be fair? I had to choose a pet because Punisher's relatives are all deceased and he has scarcely any love life (he dated Elektra once because she killed his targets and impressed him, and that was back in a 90's edition of "War Journal"😉, and they get to clone a character's long deceased mother?
Now, I don't want to seem domineering or demanding, but if a clone of a deceased relative is fair game, a fling should be fair game. There is no deep emotional/family attachment to a clone, especially a clone derived specifically for this event and not from the comic book materials. At least in a one night stand there may be a bit of intimacy (well, sex or kissing).
I'd like to lobby for some re-assessment time Lady. It's at your discretion, of course, but this new development should go both ways. Before it was family members and/or lovers in their current incarnations, now they get to clone deceased family members (with no basis in the reading material) for the event? I feel I should be allowed a human character from Frank's past that he had a 'relationship' with; frankly, I'd choose Elektra. They only dated briefly, but if a non-existent clone counts as family then a couple dates can be twisted into a relationship (I've had women in real life do that to me, so to some, a couple of dates does constitute a 'relationship'😉.
I'll provide book numbers if necessary. It's completely your call.
I never said that you couldn't use dead people.
