What would happen if Project Cadmas ever got a hold of Ranma or his DNA.
This is a crossover between Ranma ½ and Justice League Unlimited taking bits and pieces from the Doomsday storyline, Marvel, Tenjho Tenge, Air Gear, and Battle Angel Alita. This would be a retailing of the episode Epilogue. In which Amanda Waller tells Terry the story of Ranma to stress the difference between him and an actual clone. Officially the fic will start a little after the episode For the Man Who Has Everything. While this is never stressed in the manga china is a communist country, so it is pretty unlikely that there would be villages like the amazons, musk, seven lucky god, and the phonix tribe without the government knowing about them. It could be politics that gets the government to leave them to themselves, it could be the ancient lore they still posses, but at least the amazons have some connections to the government. Plus during this time Cadmus was looking for anything they could to fight the justice league. So let's say they get footage of ranma's fight with saffron just a few days after it happens and it fascinates them. So instead of Supergirl they go about cloning Ranma, and with his hectic life it should easy to get his DNA without his knowing.
This wont be a god Ranma fics, while this Ranma will be powerful but he won't have any super powers, just his skill. The clone will be older then the original and he won't know anything about him or that he's a clone. The approach I'm thinking of is a slow mental breakdown. Starting out the clone will be like older more mature version of Ranma, you will see a lot of attributes that even though Ranma has them he barely uses them with anything besides martial arts. Things like intelligence and preplanning would be stressed. Plus since he is working with Cadmus he will have access to a lot of high tech training. In terms of fighting the league directly, Ranma by himself can be considered meta to superhuman and with the clone being stronger he would be able to hold his own. The kachu tenshin training would allow him evade the flash if not outright defy. With superman that would be hit and run type fighting until he finds out that ki would have the same effect that magic does. However the energy required to make a difference, would incapacitate him as well. The clone would also play a big part in Task Force X. slowly his sanity would start to erode. First memories would start to come of the hardships of the training trip, the hazels of living in Nerima, however without any connection these memories they just come across as memories of pain. The final snap to his sanity will be when he comes face to face with a cat. Since he didn't go through the neko-ken he can't go cat, but it will take away the last bit of his sanity regressing to an almost childlike state of spitefulness and obliviousness. In the process he learns of Ranma. His only thought at that time is making all those that wronged him pay, thus he allows Lex Luther to fuse with Brainiac. This will allow him to escape to nerima.
This is the part where the original Ranma comes in, he like Supergirl has been having dreams of what his clone has been doing, but being who he is he pretty much ignores it. Life in nerima after the wedding is pretty much what you'd expect. The thing to keep in mind is that C-Ranma doesn't want to kill the original, in his mind he is attempting to save him from himself. To that end he begins brutally attacking the wrecking crew. There will be three fights between the two. The first is the meeting after C-Ranma decimates the wrecking crew he will attempt to "save" Ranma, pointing out how he lets himself be taking advantage of, people like Genma, Ryoga, ect, how he lets his women treat him like an animal and that the only option is their destruction. Naturally when Ranma tells him he's crazy he comes to the conclusion that the only way to save Ranma from this life that others have build for is to end it. The first fight will be mostly one sided Ranma would hold his own the best that can but in the end he will be saved by cadmus and Cologne.
The second fight will be in the underground city in Fearful Symmetry because it will represent C-Ranma's home. While this fight will be a little more even it is still lean heavily in C-Ranma's favor. This arc will end during the I Am Legion episode only along with showing Lex Luther the piece of Brainiac Grodd also shows a tube that contains the resurrecting body of C-Ranma.
The third match will happen during Destroyer, the premises is the technique Ranma used has left him with a permanent connection to ambient energy around him so he has gone off to train so that he will able to control this ability. During this time C-Ranma has been resurrected by Gorilla Grodd unfortunately he to has a connection to the energy around him. Escaping from the legion he finds that he also has this connection. Unfortunately this connection starts to deteriorate his clone body leaving his life force in a state of constant depletion this causes him to have an almost insatiable hunger. However this deterioration also gives him a number of superhuman abilities he will be able to analyze and manipulate matter and energy, granting him superhuman strength, stamina, durability, senses and also project energy in various forms for offensive and defensive use. Using these new abilities he will sustain by draining the vitality of a number of homeless people on a desolate construction site until the legion recaptures him. Luther will use both him and Tala to reconstitute Brainiac, only instead of resurrects Darkseid, Brainiac will be fused with C-Ranma. Not only will this fix the life force depletion it will give him abilities similar to The Phoenix Force from marvel comics. Ranma wont be gaining any superhuman abilities his training was along the lines of perceiving the energy and thus being able to manipulate it. Thus sets the stage for the final fight
