- ―Duplicon's final words before his death[src]
Duplicon is a double/toymaker-themed outlaw imprisoned within Sledge's warship and the one monster who is chosen by Poisandra to carry out her first authorized mission under her mate's command, due to his likeness and special abilities.
History
After the defeats of Cavity and Stingrage, Poisandra requests to prove that the partial successes involving her first missions were no luck or accident. Despite Fury's objection, Sledge conceeds her permission to do so. Immediately thereafter, she chooses Duplicon as the ideal outlaw to the mission because of his cloning skills.
Duplicon's first task is to fool the Dino Charge Rangers into dropping their guards so that his minions could steal the E-Tracer. The strategy succeeds with Tyler, and he is quickly disposed of, as Poisandra and Curio retrieve the tracking device and have Wrench to join them, since he is the one most likely to decipher technology. As they do so, the other Dino Charge Rangers regroup back at their base and set out to unveil what their enemies are planning and locate their lost friend.
As Tyler regains consciousness and summons the Dino Cycle to make up for lost time, Koda, Riley, Chase and Shelby arrive at the city and are ambushed by their fake counterparts and several Vivix after a quick meeting Duplicon has with Fury, who sets off on his own to defeat Tyler and present him as a trophy to Sledge. Back at the battlefield, Chase attaches white flowers onto the belts of the Rangers. Now able to identify each other, they easily defeat their enemies. Soon, Duplicon arrives and starts to fight them personally while Tyler tangles with Fury. They are overpowered until their leader arrives, backing off from his personal fight, and defeats him with the Dino Spike, using the full power of the Dino Charge Rangers.
Upon realizing Poisandra is in trouble, Sledge uses the Magna Beam to enlarge Duplicon. A Vivizord is then turned into a clone of Fury, infuriating the original one. When the Dino Charge Megazord proves insufficient against two enemies at once, the Dino Charge Rangers use the Dino Gas Charger as a diversion and bring forth the Dino Charge Megazord's Tri-Ankylo Formation to destroy the giant clone through a combo of the Hammer Punch and the Tricera Drill before using the Final Hammer Punch to obliterate Duplicon. 
TV STORY-Double Ranger, Double Danger
Duplicon was revived where he is assigned by Sledge to abduct one of the Rangers (who were all dressed as ghosts) so that Memorella can assume their form and infiltrate their base. While Memorella does her mission, Duplicon and Curio abandon their post to go trick or treating. After Memorella was destroyed, Sledge was angered at Duplicon, informing the outlaw he would be sent to his worst cell for his lack of commitment to duty. TV STORY-The Ghostest With the Mostest
Personality
Duplicon is a cheerful outlaw who playfully enjoys to tamper with his enemies. He follows commands without question after being set free but countermands Fury by reminding him Poisandra is in control of the plan. However, his inability to change strategies, once the Dino Charge Rangers defeat his clones, proves to be his undoing. At the Halloween special, he displays a more playful side alongside Curio and embodies the trick or treat spirit of Halloween along with his fellow.
Abilities
- Shapeshifting: By turning his hands into a pair of molders and placing them onto someone's head, he can turn his target into the shape of anyone he wishes.
Arsenal
- Branding Bar: He uses this weapon to throw fire balls or thrust it onto a opponents body as well as a movable shield to deflect incoming hits.
Behind the Scenes
- to be added
Notes
- Just like Twin Man from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Duplicon can create fake Rangers by turning the Vivix into Ranger replicas as Twin Man did to Rita Repulsa's Putties.
- He is the first outlaw to be revived in Power Rangers Dino Charge and the first monster in the franchise to return to life specifically on a Halloween special.
- Duplicon and Memorella perform the first dual onslaught on Power Rangers Dino Charge, as all previous attacks were done with only one outlaw at a time, and the first raid in the series to be done with both male and female monsters-of-the-day simultaneously.
- His bounty is shown to be 20,000 Space Bullions, just like Spellbinder.
- Duplicon was most likely destroyed by Heckyl in When Evil Stirs.
