WMG / Clone High

The clones were flawed by presumption.

Bringing back the dead isn't easy, nor are historical accounts always accurate. The reason so many of the clones have disparate personalities and even seriously different body types from the originals is they got Jurassic Parked in the lab during creation: they were meant to be copies of previously existing people, so they were intentionally modified to correct any supposed genetic issues. Genghis is a prime example: He's huge because his conquest and physical prowess is what he was remembered for and not his genius mind, resulting in him being altered to fit this view and becoming a Dumb Muscle in the process.

• isn't it also possible their environment/parents play a role in making them different? The real Abe Lincoln's father was abusive and neglectful even by that time periods standards and most hated his kids trying to learn, causing most of Abe's education to be self-driven. Since clone!abe doesn't have those issues it would make sense he might channel that drive into some thing like being popular/dating.

It's never coming back

The series lasted less than a year with a mere thirteen episodes, and it has only obtained the cult it has today thanks to the Internet, as it faded into near obscurity after it was Cut Short.

• Jossed. New episodes are confirmed as of 2020.

MTV will make new episodes in 2013

It would work good since the series ended in 2003 and Beavis And Butthead got to be brought back.

• Jossed.

The Fraternity is behind the Clone High project.

The need for it is so they can build up their forces so they can take over other Earths...and Mr. B keeps saying Wesley because he saw a certain gunslinging assassin at work and he got scarred for life.

The Board reminds clones of how their predecessor died to control them.

The Grassy Knoll diner and the portrait of Lincoln being shot are just a couple of examples of strategically-placed "reminders" of how the clones' predecessors originally died. In addition, Joan seems acutely aware of the whole "burned at the stake" deal. The real reason there was a 38% chance of it happening again was actually because the Shadowy Figures use these as veiled threats to keep the clones in line. Mr. B was likely listing off a statistic regarding clones who were made an example of.

The "clones" aren't actually clones.

They're just test tube people that look kind of like historical figures.

Alternatively, some of the clones are genuine while others are just artificial humans

Any character that was supposedly cloned by taking the DNA from the corpse of a historical figure who either died too long ago for their DNA to be recognizable, was cremated after dying or was buried in an unknown location is an Artificial Human passed off as a clone while any character that was supposedly cloned from a historical figure who didn't meet those criteria is a genuine clone.

If it ever does come back...

...the clones will be college-age by now, and it'll be called "Clone State".

If the show were to be revived it will either not be shown in India or have a bit of dialogue that will reveal that Gahndi is really a clone of Gary Coleman only in the Indian version

We shouldn't have to deal with that controversy if the Indian version has the "Gahndi was a clone of Coleman" idea.

How the reboot will begin:

The year is 2021 (or whatever year it starts airing) and the clones have been frozen for nearly 20 years. Someone will break into the lab and free the clones. Now they'll have to adapt to a new time period while trying to thwart the plans of Principal Scudworth, Mr B and the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures.

• Gandhi will die in the opening, in an attempt by MTV to avoid the protests partly responsible for the original cancellation.

Alternatively, the reboot will be a completely separate continuity from the original, leaving the Cliffhanger forever unresolved

• Jossed. The reboot is a direct sequel and has the clones unfrozen after prom.

If the reboot is a completely separate continuity from the original, the following changes will be made:

• Gandhi will be Adapted Out or be the clone of Gary Coleman.
• A Setting Update will occur, meaning the clones will now have to deal with things like smartphones and social media.

John Wilkes Booth will make an appearance in the reboot.

Either as a background character, a minor character, or a one-episode character.

There's at least one saboteur among the Secret Board Of Shadowy Figures

As noted on the Headscratchers page, it's weird that whoever's in charge of the project would allow the clones to live normal teenage lives as opposed to keeping them locked away from the public in a perpetual boot camp while training them to be Child Soldiers. What if the person who made that decision is trying to sabotage the project and prevent the board's attempted takeover of the world?

The reboot will appear to be a completely separate continuity at first, but then the season cliffhanger will show the original clones still frozen, connecting the two shows

• Jossed.

The reboot will be cancelled before it makes it to air

Just like what happened when MTV cancelled plans for a Celebrity Deathmatch revival in 2016.

• Jossed.

Cleopatra is a closeted lesbian and/or bisexual and her constant promiscuity is an attempt to cover up her attraction to girls/women.

It doesn't take her very long after Joan reveals her disguise to declare that sex with Joan would have been hot.

• I bet in the second season, she will get Ship Tease with Frida Kahlo (who herself was bisexual in real life), based on a shot in the opening (mirroring Abe and Joan's reaching hands from the first season).
  • Confirmed! Cleopatra and Frida fall for each other in Sexy Ed.

The reboot will start out in a separate continuity, but the clones will eventually travel to the world of the original series.

• Jossed.

Adolf Hitler’s clone will join the main cast.

Topher and Sacagawea are mortal enemies

Second Gen Frida and Harriet are different clones from their first Gen counterparts.

It’s likely Scudsworth recloned some of the figures while they were frozen.

Ponce was recloned

Which is going to be super awkward when JFK runs into him.

The blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot in S2 Episode 9 of the clone babies.

In the shot of the test tubes full of clones there is a vial labelled "Mohan", meaning that tube was likely Gandhi, as the original Gandhi's first name was Mohandas. Possibly, the crew plans on sticking to their guns and keeping Gandhi as himself if we get the proposed Season 4 return, or the mix-up will instead be a different clone father than Gary Coleman, such as actor Mac Mohan.

One of the "second gen" background clones will become an Ascended Extra

At least enough to become a significant supporting character like Topher, but a more positive one. Options include Kublai Khan (he did get actual lines, so he may be the most likely), Geronimo, Wu Zetian, and Malcolm X. Or they could always simply introduce a new clone for such a purpose.

• It might as well be Sacagawea since she's the most recurring character in the show and the one who has the most lines. I feel she would be part of the main cast when Gandhi returns to balance the cast to 10.
• Confirmed: "Malcolm X" becomes an Ascended Extra and he's actually Toussaint Louverture.

One of the minor "first gen" clones who we didn't see in Season 2 will return

At least they could return just to make another historical joke. Options include Thomas Edison (just to make a joke about a rivalry with a clone Tesla), Moses, Helen Of Troy, William Howard Taft, The Dolphin mistaken for Henry VIII, Eva Peron, Pocahontas (just because she would be more relevant now compared to the 2000s as a famous person of color similar to Frida and Harriet),Buddha, Voltaire and Eleanor Roosevelt.

• Confirmed: Thomas Edison and Eva Peron both return and made cameos.

There will be a clone of a famous person that died after 2003

Considering the clones have been frozen for 20 years, many celebrities would have died during that time and Scudsworth would have been able to easily clone them due to being more recent.

Expect a joke where one of the first gen meets said clone and is shocked to find that they died.

• Confirmed: Patrick Swayze and Benazir Bhutto both appear as clones and both died after 2003.

If Gandhi returns and the show does not get cancelled again, the show will feature other clones of famous South Asian or Indian people

They featured Genghis Khan with other East Asians such as Kublai Khan and Wu Zetian so they'll probably do something similar by featuring other famous South Asians in history.

Possible Clones:

• Ashoka
• Indira Gandhi
• Aurangzeb
• Rani Of Jhansi
• Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Possibly as a rival to Gandhi and possible Foil)
• Chandragupta Mauyra
• Nur Jahan
• Shah Jahan
• Akbar
• Babur
• Maharajah Duleep Singh
• Madhubala
• Satyendra Nath Bose

Abe will *not* patch things up with Joan

Between ditching him for keeping a secret even though it will literally kill her and her actions in the season 2 finale, Abe will decide he'd rather have no friends than be friends with her again. Especially since she likely will only want him back because she literally has no one else.

Jossed, he patches things up with Joan in Season 3 after the two became subsitute principal and vice principal

Adding to above, similar to Drake & Josh Parker, the moment Abe cuts out Joan from his friendship group, his life will be better and Joan's will be worse

Pretty much most of the pain Abe experienced in Season 2 has been because of Joan, so the moment Abe no longer thinks or cares about Joan he would experience less pain and would led to a trail of luck for Abe with him being popular instead of Joan and being friends with JFK while a string of misfortune occurs for Joan. This will show that Joan needs her friends far, far, more than her friends need her.

• While Joan is seen as an outcast she hasn't personally experienced any bad luck and Abe more and less has the same luck as before.

Abe will date someone else completely different

Considering that he lost interest in Cleopatra and is dating Frida and Abe will probably avoid Joan for treating him like crap and her actions in the season 2 finale, Abe will decide to date neither Cleo or Joan and find someone else. Abe would want someone that respects him and he can respect back and form a relationship based on trust which was lacking when he was with Joan & Cleo.

• Semi Jossed: Abe does manage to date a girl named "Mary" who turns out to be Bloody Mary who wants to kill Abe

Season 3 will open with Joan eating at the cancelled corner

And Joan's actions will be seen as so vile that even the others in the cancelled corner would not want to sit next to her.

• Jossed

Joan will somehow be able to be accepted by everyone again by the start of Season 3

Let's be honest with a show like this, do you think Joan will actually be Hated by All for the entire season? The first Season 3 episode will end with Joan making some grand apology speech to everyone or try to do something to make up for her actions and will be accepted and popular again.

• Jossed. Joan does not get accepted until the middle of Season 3 and was still hated through out the first episode of Season Three

The clones were designed to be highly suggestible as a means of control.

The Shadowy Council does want to use them as tools of conquest, after all, so they would want them to be obedient. This is why they seem so vulnerable to the placebo effect, such as getting drunk off of non-alcoholic beer and getting high from smoking raisins.

There will be an episode with a clone guest-voiced by Rachel Sennott

And apparently she and Harriet were life long friends, parodying I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine. This isn't the first time she and Ayo Ederbiri appear as a comedic duo in a parody of high school dramas.

The missile is actually fake and inside is actually Gandhi

It is revealed to not be a real missile once it hits the ground. It's just a giant toy and it is revealed that Candide only wanted to scare them off Cloney island and that she didn't wanna kill anybody... yet! And then The Reveal will show Gandhi will crawl out and it.

When Gandhi returns in Season 4, another clone will be added to the cast to balance it to ten

Either they'll have a recurring clone become an Ascended Extra or they'll just simply introduce a new clone not seen in Seasons 2 or 3. Or alternatively a background clone that appeared once in Season 1 and absent throughout the show will appear with Gandhi and suddenly be part of the new cast.

Gandhi will join The Bleacher Creatures

Topher Bus and Gandhi will be bros and Gandhi and Abe will grow apart. Gandhi might join Bleacher Creatures due to him facing rejection or everyone forgetting about him, as well as his clonefather being cancelled for being a racist and pervert.

Frida Kahlo and Cleopatra will get back together.

Season 4 will be the last season of the entire show

It will be the last season and will wrap up everything with the characters and Joan and Abe will be together at last. If the show gets a Season 5, it will have an entirely new cast of characters.

Gandhi will completely forget about Marie Curie

Since Marie Curie never mentioned Gandhi even before the memory wipe, it's likely the same will be true of Gandhi pretending he and Curie were never together.

The Donner Party will appear as clones in Season 4

Scudsworth mention of them and the reveal that they're buried at Exclamation Cemetery will foreshadow their major role in Season 4 as either antagonists or simply outcasts more than even the Bleacher Creatures due to them being cannibals.

Similar to the Marys, Scudsworth deliberately did not clone any other presidents besides JFK, George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Harry S Truman

It's likely these are the only presidents he ever seems to like or the only presidents Scudsworth seems to know about.
