I WAS playing with the idea of them using his DNA to create semi-clones. 

Guys that are made from his DNA, but because whatever clones they made always turn out with messed up chromosomes, they had to use DNA from someone else as well. 

Offspring, if you will.

Without the fun of having offspring. 

Anyways, after the kids start getting their powers and Pilot begins to realize he may be outmatched, they have him train these guys to help him fight.

But the clones, being clones, are bound to be wonky and have far more weaknesses than Pilot himself.

Think Storm Troopers.
