The Super-Clone
I haven't addressed the presence of Superman's clone in my replied thus far because there is still zero evidence that he would exist. More to the point though, if Abhi is trying to make Eradicator split his 'programming' to make two Eradicator-occupied bodies on the field, it's duplication.
So, after creating the clone body of Superman Eradicator transfers a portion of its own program into the clone body to control it.
5. No duplication
It's not an independently acting construct, it's creating a second body for Eradicator and then doubling the Eradicator presence on the field, even if the two bodies have different power sets. We can get a host ruling on it if Abhi would like.
However, again, I still don't believe the plan is remotely feasible and so, in the absence of a host ruling, I'm going to explain why that is:
I wrote that Abhi was missing two components that were present to repeat Eradicator's previous feat of creating a Kryptonian clone:
a) A host to occupy the body
b) the 30 years of stored energy inside Clark's body
Further, should a body be created, it would be missing two essential parts of Superman:
c) A body capable of absorbing sunlight
d) Superman's memories
Abhi avoided effectively replying to any of these points:

You must've never seen the fortress Eradicator fighting David Conner. Or maybe this never happened too?http://i.imgur.com/NjOwGtb.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/TJbeFQb.jpgKem-L persona of Eradicator creates a whole new body for himself, just like he does it here from a mere piece of Fortress material.

I'm sorry, but that was a laughable rebuttal.
Scans of multiple Eradicators existing at the same point in time: one bonded with David Connor, the other with the Fortress. No scan of an Eradicator creating a second body for itself and living as the host in both. Note that the Kem-L persona lived through fortress technology, did not create a 'whole new body for himself' (he attacked Clark mentally from the tech and was destroyed when the figure was destroyed), and falls under the 'the other with the Fortress' category of Eradicator identities.
No scan showing that Eradicator is even capable of willfully splitting his identity into two bodies. This only happened in the comics because: Superman forcefully dispersed Eradicator, some of the energy would go on to be dormant until bonding with David Connor (not existing on its own), some would go on to bond with Fortress tech (after being reassembled by Fortress tech).

I'm sorry, being powerless doesn't mean he can't do it when he is powered by the ****ing sun itself. He isn't an energy ghost in Krypton Man's persona. He has the access to sun's core itself.Maybe he has the energy required to do this because Krypton Man can channel the sun's energy - we don't know, because he's never done this before (see: once again, not Krypton Man's feat).
However, we do know that it doesn't matter because of c)
[*]c)
Because Eradicator was amnesiac. When he created a body for himself while fully powerful and had full memory, he could effortlessly channel sun.Maybe, but the scan shows he needed a matrix within the fortress to make that change, he couldn't do it himself.

More indication that this isn't even possible.
And the kryptonians he created could do that too.http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/16780888/transformplanetb13_2.jpg.html
Whoa, not the kryptonians he created. The scan refers to the 'Eradicator matrix' as abducted by Brainiac, and is related only in name to the Eradicator that existed as Krypton Man.
THIS is specifically why I referenced the wikipedia article, because the amount with which Abhi is trying to pull the wool over judges' eyes is ridiculous. At least the wiki article lays out the Eradicator history plain for everybody to see. I have provided scans for all my points regarding the Eradicator identity crisis, but wikipedia serves as a separate document that provides a timeline for all this stuff.
Anyways, the scan has nothing to do with Krypton Man, could employ shitloads of outside tech that Eradicator doesn't have here, and, perhaps most importantly, gives no timeline. We have no idea if Eradicator can create a kryptonian body in 5 minutes, which is all he has here for prep.

Then its good that Eradicator has all the memories of Superman stored in it? When it mindlinked Cleric and Superman. it stored all the memories and transferred it to Cleric.Uh... I have no idea what you're referring to, cause it doesn't say any of that in the scan.http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/16777851/linksminds.jpg.html
Even if it could be backed up by other evidence, that would only store Superman's memories until 1989. So please stop using scans from the last two and a half decades.
Finally, I'll stress again, Krypton Man's circuitry and programming was destroyed in the sun. Provide proof that Krypton Man hold's all of Superman's memories or we'll assume that anything he did remember was lost when he had his 'unique rebirth'.

Telekinesis and the Eradicator
To reiterate:
Previous to his telekinesis being God-like, Cable proved he could manipulate energy forms:

Then his telekinesis became mega powerful

*For this feat, Sinister had temporarily removed his TO virus, which is the same reason he became so powerful in his God-like persona. He didn't show anything close to the same level of power, but did move this energy beam, which is totally transferrable.
(for what it's worth, it might have been totally inherent in his atomic-restructuring feats that he could manipulate energy, but I'm glad to have even pre-messiah Cable scans back up the feat).
The plan still stands: Cable wills Eradicator's body sundered, and it becomes sundered. Much like how Superman beat Krypton Man in the first place, by scattering his energy to the wind.
Abhi's defence:
Krypton Man stood up to punches from Superman
Fine, I'll just continuously apply the same energy that it took to levitate Providence or break Surfer's board, and beat the hell out of Krypton Man. I have telekinesis and can apply this attack at all angles, from any distance, however I want, for as long as I want.
ALSO: Krypton Man's physical durability against Superman has nothing to do with Krypton Man's durability while intangible, as he is in this match. We know that Krypton Man refers to his own body and all its variations as malleable and so durability from a solid Krypton Man means nothing to an intangible one.
