I wish he'd stop with the world police line, but this chapter showcases pretty well what happens when magic and science cooperate. They were basically dominating the battlefield until the Loli, her servant, and Accelerator showed up.

Just read the updates
Birdway and Accelerator is tough enough to take on mercs and magicians combined. I wonder what would happen when Academy City used the full might of it's espers against one country...?

Besides, only Level 3 and up would be of any use, the rest would be fodder.

So, even level 5s are treated of no use compared to actual forces that are trained from the dark side.

Officially the can't allow Esper into their regular force which is suppose to consist of only Anti-Skill, off the records though... That's what clones are for.

1. Accelerator: A walking existence of doom who took a long time to get his abilities under control. 2. Dark Matter: Ruthless and cocky, also possible that he had trouble controlling his power in his youth 3. Meltdowner: An arrogant ojou-sama who would rather look down on people than help them out. Mikoto was the only one who had the personality and the type of ability that would allow the collection of the genetic material necessary for the cloning. |

Personally, I think the reason why they don't is because it's going to be much harder to control an army of Accelerator and Dark Matter should they revolt. And Meltdowner has less versatility than Electromaster so she's out of the consideration. But like I've said, we haven't been given any real physical reason for not cloning Accelerator and Dark Matter, originally we thought it was because you can't make copies of their unique powers, but that turned out to be false. But now rather than cloning Dark Matter, they would just use him to create Dark Matter weapons. Quote:

And not to mention Worst. So there's nothing to say that the clones of Accelerator would think like Accelerator... Unless you count Mayday of Darkness.

There is also the thing with Radio Noise which, as I understand, can only be used by Electro-masters: Network is essential here as clones are like babies when they are created and it is thanks to the Network that clones can actually be useful immediately. Else, you would need years of tutelage for every clone and that would make all this more expensive than it is worth it.

It's not the personality's effect on the clones: Rather, it's about whether Mikoto would have helped out when given the choice. In the case of Mugino, it's likely she would have just gone under a "let them suffer" kind of attitude, while Mikoto was perfectly willing to help out. Hence, the personality of the original in relation to the willingness to provide the genetic material was important. For all the importance of the specific ability, if Mikoto was like Mugino, we wouldn't be seeing the clones.

Wait what? How does the willingness to provide the genetic material affects anything when DNA is DNA?

All the stories of making a clone from a few drops of blood would be impossible without massive use of replicators, under which there might be large degradation of the genetic materials. It's both easier and safer to just get the material directly from the source in sufficient amounts under the pretext of needing the material to help others. |

Okay fair point, but you're forgetting that Espers get experiment on all the time- while not the strap to the table invasive type, there's more than enough official methods to obtain blood samples or any other bio samples. And this is not counting how Accelerator was essentially a lab rat for most of his childhood life.

20 000 clones came during the 2nd Production Plan that came later when they (officially) needed fodder for Accel. They possibly used Full Tuning for both this and creation of the Radio Noise. 3rd Production Plan also proves that clones can also be used to gather materials as Mikoto definitely didn't give any DNA for that one.
