If an evil doppelganger/clone of a hero is created, what should his first PUBLIC act of violence or evil be?

You're writing a comic book story.Let's say you have a doppelganger/clone that was was created from the hero as a result of some scientific experiment and he turned out to be evil, and he was just created, either intentionally or by accident. What would his first PUBLIC act of violence or evil be? Initially and logically he'd do something to hurt the hero before going out in public. The clone is the arch-villain in the series and he vies to eventually get back at the hero and destroy him and his friends- he wants to get rid of all the heroes and take over the town and eventually the world and make it a safe haven for him and other baddies. He also eventually starts a gang to help him.



The best I could do for his first evil PUBLIC act of violence or evil was terrorize and torture a group of scouts and steal their Swiss knives. I wanted it to be something heinous-he's sort of on a journey of self-discovery to find out how bad he can be.



I thought of making him steal money but he'd have to have a reason for doing that and he'd have to discover the value of money.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to improve on this, or suggestions for better ideas that would work? Please let me know.



I apologize for not giving enough background and info and no offense to the people who tried to answer this question before-the answers given seemed illogical and didn't make much sense without me giving more info and background.If an evil doppelganger/clone of a hero is created, what should his first PUBLIC act of violence or evil be?
a more direct (and twisty) approach would be like this...



A robbery with a hostage stand-off, with the police negotiating and all that (you know what i am referring to)... the clone arrives seemingly to help the police free the hostages, and then... he suddenly turns on them and kills them on the spot, while helping the robbers escape and kill the hostages as well... while he makes sure all of it is captured on film...If an evil doppelganger/clone of a hero is created, what should his first PUBLIC act of violence or evil be?
Well it depends, as a clone the obvious way for him to go would be pretend to be the hero and ruin his rep. Which would basicly mean show up to save someone and end up screwing them over instead.If an evil doppelganger/clone of a hero is created, what should his first PUBLIC act of violence or evil be?
The most obvious seems to be to kill a celebrity in a public venue. This would insure that there would be video coverage of the event so that his act could be verified and spread across the media, plus it would devastate his popularity among the celebrity's fan base. If he could "justify" the action in some twisted way due to the celebrity's actions that also might make the act more plausible.



If you need an excuse for him to do that, he could notice that some huge event is going on, get curious, steal someone's tickets, and then when he gets bored, hop up on stage and kill the performer(s).
