"Miles is the only extant example" -- should this say "Mark"?

[Marri]

At this time, the only way you get a JokerSherlock in the first place is by cloning somebody who is very very smart and has a certain kind of oddbrains - Miles is the only extant example...

Kappa is talking about the 'person who was cloned to produce the JokerSherlock', I think, so Miles is correct and Mark is the result?

[Kappa]

Yes. Miles is the only extant example of a person who was cloned to produce a JokerSherlock; Mark is the only extant example of a JokerSherlock.

[Bluelantern]

Yes. Miles is the only extant example of a person who was cloned to produce a JokerSherlock; Mark is the only extant example of a JokerSherlock.

Can you think of any templates that could "naturally" produce a JokerSherlock when cloned?

[Kappa]

Not offhand... let me see...

• Matildas are definitely smart enough but don't have the right kind of oddbrains. It's possible that if someone cloned a Matilda in an appropriately horrible way, the result would be a JokerSherlock, but I wouldn't go for it unless there was some really compelling reason to do that.
• The template to which the forthcoming characters Galadriel and Gael both belong is definitely really oddbrains and probably sufficiently smart, but I'm not sure if they're right either and I wouldn't do it without a compelling reason, again.
• The Hall/Asterion template qualifies as smart and oddbrains and has a vague and distant metacausal connection to potentially producing clones with split personalities, as well as points of congruity with both Jokers and Sherlocks (through quality of sensory experience, mainly)... I think, out of every template I've thought of so far, they're the best fit. But I don't have any plans to actually do that.
• I can't think of anyone else who so much as merits inclusion on a list of templates that could be made to fit but don't really. But maybe I'm missing/forgetting something.
