==Summary==
Doppelganger is the name used to refer to the doppelganger AI of Kuriba Ryouko, who was created during an experiment where the original Ryouko was split into two cyborgs for an entire year before being recombined. Residing within the combined mechanical components of both cyborg bodies, and initially believing she was the real one, the doppelganger's eventually realized what she was and escaped the laboratory where she was confined.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Artificial Muscles: While the source of her power to take over nearby materials was initially thought to be because she was an artificial soul that could possess lifeless objects, it was eventually revealed that Doppelganger was a rogue AI that had developed beyond its programming by fusing with the brain of the original Ryouko and spending a year developing her creative ability. The Doppelganger actually uses self-replicating artificial muscles created by mixing the traits of slime mold with the traits of muscles of large herbivores. These artificial muscles quickly reproduce with just air, water, and light, though they shrivel up and die in a few hours. The Doppelganger can shape these artificial muscles in combat in multiple ways such as large "vines" that can pierce and grab objects, a sword or a giant drill. She can also control external materials by embedding thin strands of artificial muscle almost invisible to the naked eye in them at the microscopic level. She has proven to be capable of taking over and manipulating nearby materials such as Naru's paper, concrete, asphalt, and even large fuel tanks that she can lift and throw across a city.
** Absorption: After being damaged the Doppelganger can repair her body using nearby materials, such as Sakuragi Naruha's paper or wreckage. She can also go beyond her original form, creating a body several meters tall capable of destroying a warehouse. When pushed further by Misaka Mikoto, the Doppelganger created a giant body that easily towered over Academy City's buildings.
** Duplication: Doppelganger can create several crude decoys of herself to confuse the enemy.
