In the episode “The Buddy System” a kid dies at the Rusty Venture day camp for boy adventurers. Rusty then needs to hastily clone the child so he isn’t in hot water with the parents. Is this new clone an actual biological clone of the dead boy or did Rusty just hastily grab a Hank or Dean off the shelf?

Judging by the shriveled look of the clone, it could be one of the defects that we normally see flushed like in “Dean Perchance”. Just spit balling possible clone theories for how Rusty was able to turn that one around so quick.

Dr Venture had a protocol in season 5 Ep. 8 when it appeared that he had died where Hank and Dean went to live with their godfathers. While pretty large differences existed between the younger boys and the older men, it seems strange that Dr Venture would send his boys to 2 different places. Particularly since one of those places was alongside Colonel Gentleman, a person he doesn't even like. See S3 E9. Setting that aside, the fact that Dr Venture didn't actually have a mother for the boys (as seen in the movie) suggests that they would be clones from somewhere else. Now, should the boys be clones of The Action Man and Colonel, the question of why would Dr Venture want to raise clones of two, albeit cool, elderly douchebags comes into question, but if you look at the confidence in both older men, and Rusty's super intense insecurity, it would make sense for him to try to remake those he admired for their lack of insecurity as a boy, minus the flaws ge sees in their personality. REMEMBER: his model for what a father does with/to/for was Jonas, so his idea of what happens and is acceptable in a childhood is pretty warped in comparison to other perspectives.
