Duplicate Girl (or Triplicate Girl, or Duo Damsel) is a quintessential member of the Legion of Super Heroes.  Her powers are at once incredibly simply while also being a bold-faced assault on any semblance of realism... but those powers are almost secondary to her personality.  The role she had as a sweet girl that would be a little flirty sometimes was WAY more important than the fact that she could split into multiple bodies.  In fact, the exact number of bodies she can split into kept changing, which is why she's had so many different names.  Her costume shifted constantly as well, and she's actually had quite a few widely different designs that were often of pretty high quality.  In a lot of ways she's an excellent microcosm of everything fun about the Legion. 

We deliberately included the idea that the number of bodies she is able to split into shifted over the years, necessitating the different names and probably the different costumes.  We wanted to make sure we had her settle on being able to have TONS of bodies, because that's defintiely her most powerful configuration and the one we like the most, as well as the name Duplicate Girl, as it's the only name she's had that doesn't actually specify how many bodies she can split into.  

Also, we wanted to make sure to keep her relationship with Bouncing Boy.  It's adorable, and it's one of the best teen romances from those early years of comics.
